Performance tip
Let the saxophone opening create the mood before you enter. Keep the verses smooth and controlled, and avoid turning the chorus into a shout.
Should you sing it?
Try “Careless Whisper” when the audience is ready to listen closely. The song feels most convincing when the familiar shape gives you room to settle in. Save it for another night if you do not feel comfortable showing much emotion.
