You never know who in the judging booth might be a RABID Beatles fan (there are lots of them out there), and they tend to be somewhat possessive about their boys' songs...as in they don't want ANYONE else to sing them. So it's best to just skip the Beatles.

If you want to sing any kind of pop song, do it in a way that people don't expect. I once heard a guy sing How Deep Is Your Love at karaoke - he put a lot more soul in than the Bee Gees had and just sang the shit out of it. You don't really think of that as a soul song, but he made it one.

I am out of the loop, but what's "On My Own"? You don't mean the Irene Cara song from Fame do you?
