Question:
This may end up being longer than it should, but here goes. My church has had a youth praise team for about 4 years and now we're about to start a college-young adult praise team to start playing on Sunday mornings/nights. In our youth team, the main vocalist has always been a guy with a girl doing backup stuff. Now, in this new team our main vocalist is a girl with our guitar player kinda backing her up. Here's the question, does anyone have any suggestions for good up-beat songs for a female voice? I seems like all of the "girl songs" are always slow and short. I didn't know where else to ask this question, so if its in the wrong board, I'm sorry.
Thanks for reading,

Answer:
First off, this should probably be in Worship Leading. I'm sure someone will move it if they feel they need to.
Secondly, I don't see how the lead singer being male or female should dictate what songs you play. I mean unless a certain song is out of their range, which can still be fixed by changing keys. I don't see any problem with a female singing the same songs as a male, what songs do you consider to be "girl songs"? And what songs for the guys? In all reality there are very very few songs that usually are sung by a particular sex, and they usually don't come up in worship scenarios.

I agree. Come up with your own arrangements that fit your style and vocal abilities.
