Performance tip

I Will Possess Your Heart benefits from a specific rehearsal focus: pace the early sections across its roughly 8:25 runtime so the ending still has energy. For I Will Possess Your Heart, that detail will matter more than adding extra volume.

Recommendation

Should you sing it?

Choose I Will Possess Your Heart when a consistent emotional point of view suits you. It has a heavily repeated refrain, with room to shape the lines without cramming them. Plan to carry the verses yourself; this is not rated as a dependable full-room singalong.
