Need Advice re. new AC Listing

[gabrifini]

Hi! Can anyone tell me what types of songs you think should be submitted for this artist listing below? It doesn't say the songs have to be originals- only that the person submitting should have radio-ready material. My husband has a lot of original recordings, and past TAXI critiques have stated that he fits into the AC genre and that he should look for "ala Josh Groban" listings. Is it okay to submit non-originals or public domain songs for this listing which will best showcase his voice since this is an artist listing? Should he submit some of his originals to show that he can also write songs (his voice could be showcased in his originals as well, but I think there are some non originals/public domain songs out there that would have more of an impact with showing the range of his voice)? We're just not sure what type of songs would be ok/best to submit.Thanks so much for any feedback and all the best to everyone!TAXI # S061227PCNEW LISTING -- Amazing POP-CLASSICAL CROSSOVER ARTISTS a la Josh Groban, Il Divo, Charlotte Church, Andrea Bocelli, Placido Domingo, etc. are sought by the Management Division of a large, multi-faceted Entertainment Co.

However since the dealine isn't until the end of December, I would wait until after the Road Rally when they are less pressed for time...
