Performance tip

When rehearsing Bootylicious, plan a breath within the longest line, which is about 17 words. It will give Bootylicious a clearer arc from the first section to the last.

Recommendation

Should you sing it?

Bootylicious makes sense for a singer who can handle a dense lyric flow and sell the lyric’s point of view. It has some repeated lines to anchor the arrangement. Plan to carry the verses yourself; this is not rated as a dependable full-room singalong.
