I have a singing recital coming up, and i HATE my song!?

okay, so im a very expirienced performer, but i have very little singing experience, and this year i started taking voice lessons. my teacher thinks that im ready to be in our recital, but i am NOT looking forward to it. i hate my song with every fiber of my being, and i also know that i am going to look incredibly stupid singing "A Spoon Full of SUgar" from Mary Poppins while a bunch of perrrfect sopranos who are 5 years younger then me belt out beautiful broadway ballads. i have no issue with performing, but if i realize that massive humiliation awaits me, i dont want to put myself in that situation. WHat do i do?

You're making a pretty good argument for why you shouldn't sing the song. Have you asked your teacher why she picked that particular song? Maybe she thinks it fits your pitch and will showcase your talent, but I'm sure there are other songs that would be equivalent in pitch. If you just share with her how you feel (politely, and not dramatically), she may allow you to choose another song, or at the very least select another song for you to perform. If you're taking voice lessons, you are paying her (or your parents are), so she should be willing to allow you some leeway in the song you sing for a recital.
Reply:ask your teacher to change your song
Reply:Sorry about the song, but I suppose it could be worse. If you act it a ton, you'll make the younger kids look pretty silly. I'm certainly not a great singer by any stretch, and learned that same song at one point; nonetheless, a fun performance will be preferable to the audience than one that just displays vocal talent. Believe me, the audience will prefer it.
Reply:alright Ur a experienced performer right? (so that makes u wot age?) so become a professional performer by swallowing Ur 'embarrassment' and sing the damn song!! (BTW i think it is a great song and you can really have fun with it...) BTW the 5yr younger ones if the chose "Broadway hits" than their prob. gonna sound worse cause their not as experienced as you + because their younger they'll be like "wow, that was cool i wanna do that song!) so be and inspiration too other people... and add fun and humour to ur songs... (its a good skill to learn!)
