Ideas for the Performance

Last Thursday, our class discussed and brainstormed a few ideas for our final performance that's going to be on the 4th of June. We came up with a few ideas. I agreed to some of them. 
My favourite one was the remix of different genres. I personally love that idea because we can show people the different genres in music instead of just the basic pop or rock. We could do R&B, classical, and others on one or more songs. 
Another one of my favourites are the medleys. I don't really know what we can do a medley of but we could do a Disney medley, one-artist, or something else. 
I've came up with an idea which is quite similar to last semester's performance but a little bit different. We can do a medley on one artist that has been in the music industry for quite a long time and do an evolution of that singer. For example: Beyoncé. We could do songs from the Destiny Child era up to her latest album (Beyoncé). Or perhaps Justin Timberlake, Michael Jackson, or someone else popular.
