I’d Rather

Luther Vandross

I'd Rather works as a r&b selection rather than an automatic party anthem. This is a deeper cut for listeners who know Luther Vandross well. Treat it as a performance piece, not a guaranteed group singalong.

Performance tip

For I'd Rather, plan a breath within the longest line, which is about 16 words. For I'd Rather, that detail will matter more than adding extra volume.

Recommendation

Should you sing it?

I'd Rather makes sense for a singer who can handle room to shape the lines without cramming them 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.
