Help me choose a song! (AX Idol)

(I wasn't sure which subforum to put this under, so mods, if you think this is better in Music, Random, or IB, just move as you wish) Sooo...I got talked into signing up for this year's AX Idol competition, and I NEED HALP OMGWTFBBQ WHAT WAS I THINKING ASDFGHJKLQIUKJFGN. Ok, sorry. I'm calm now. I have a couple of songs I'm choosing from, and I want you guys to vote on which one I should sing for this contest. Try to base your choice on the following criteria: 1) How well it fits my vocal range and voice type. Does the song make me sound good, or is it in a weird part of my vocal range and therefore comes out strangled and horrible? 2) Crowd appeal. if I sing this song in front of a group of hundreds of people, will they appreciate it? Will they get bored? Will it make them want to cheer, or boo? 3) Difficulty. Obviously, since this is a song competition, the more difficult the song is, the better. 4) How long the breaks/instrumental sections in the song are. This is so I don't have to stand on the stage looking like a dork while a super long instrumental is playing. Shorter is better, but I suppose even if the instrumentals are long, I'll figure something out. Don't base your song choice on how well I sang the song in the recording (e.g. how in tune I am, how many mistakes I made in the lyrics, etc.). I know I didn't do a perfect job because fuck, it's 3:20am and I've been singing for about an hour and a half already. Some of the songs were sung later, and of course they would sound a bit worse because my vocal chords are already tired. I think y'all can tell by listening to the songs which ones I did first and which ones I did later, lol. Plus all I did to mix and edit the songs was slap on a little bit of reverb just to get my voice to carry over the background music, so there will be times where the volume is weird or there are clipped tones and crackly shit. I apologize for those, but just try to ignore the errors and weirdness as much as possible because I will practice and perfect the songs eventually. You can just pick from the poll, but it would really also be helpful if you could also say in the comments why you picked the particular song, and give any comments on how I can better sing these songs. Here are the songs: Hatsune Miku - Koi wa Sensou (composed by Ryo) Hatsune Miku - Scissorhands (composed by Nem) Kisida Kyodan & The Akeboshi Rockets - High School of the Dead (HOTD Opening) Kuhciki Rukia - Wind (Bleach character song) Tane Tomoko - Broken Wings (Trinity Blood Ending) Sorry for assaulting your ears with badly sung/mixed songs ^^;. But thanks in advance to whomever listens and votes/comments!

Found some time and sat down with these files. As others say, I'm going to agree with them as well. HOTD and Koi wa Sensou. But, I'm going to throw a curve ball. I love your Scissorhands cover.

Scissorhands
1) Your vocal range and voice type fits this perfectly. The pace that you are singing at is closely tuned. I'm not a music expert but I love your voice in this. While I was listening to this, you reminded me of Shiina Ringo.

2) This is going to speak for both Hatsune Miku cover you posted. Hatsune Miku concert + Hatsune Miku being such a big idol, both will be a hit! Unless, by ratings, Scissorhands isn't that great among of Mikus' other works.

3)I'd give this an 8.5/10 in difficulty. The pace itself and the change in pace is what makes it difficult.

4) At the beginning, after the "aishite" sequence, the song's pace starts to rise and then you have that instrumental piece. In my opinion, at that part you kinda calm down a bit and let the instrumental run its course. But when this part starts, http://youtu.be/8I80Mv7ypRE?t=30s, theres that small window of downtime and the pace picks up again. I'm thinking you can start some movement there. I apologize if I sound retarded. I also apologize if I got you confused. I'm not that great at explaning things. Aside from that instrumental, there is, I believe, one more instrumental section.

If you do end up performing this song, you should give a shoutout to me and Looking4moar! :D

I don't know the details but how many songs are they letting you perform during the audition and how many rounds will there be before finals?

Just one song for both the auditions and finals. I do love Scissorhands so much (and so does teh bf), but Koi wa Sensou is the more popular Miku song, and it's way easier for me to sing.
