What would you sing if you were entering a competition for high school students and you were a mezzo (big belter) and needed to sing a song that is a guaranteed showstopper? But still appropriate for a teenager to sing?

I would definitely say "Shy" from Once Upon A Mattress

Also "Hold On" from The Secret Garden (Martha)
"I Know Things Now" from Into the Woods (Little Red)

Hope that helps.

look at something from Millie!

Thoroughly modern millie has a bunch of great belt songs that are sure to get attention if done well

Whenver i hear the word "belty" i always think of the song CABARET for no apparent reason. IDK if that's a good song lol. Hope I helped.

My impulse is to reply with "Always True To You" from Kiss Me Kate, but as a teenager and out of context, it's certainly not appropriate! Therefore, I will second "Shy" and also suggest "Happily Ever After" from Once Upon A Mattress.

In my opinion there is no such thing as a guaranteed showstopper, but that's a separate issue.

If you are looking for something that will get you noticed, I would stay away from songs that are very overdone (particularly "Shy") as doing a song that people are likely to know increases the chance that they will notice if a small mistake as made but also because it will not be anything new.

There are lots of lesser known shows with great teenage roles.
