Is is strange if male singers sing "Let it go"?
I belong choir and we want to perform "let it go", which is from the movie "frozen".

However, I'm thinking of making a transcription for male choir (I'd like to arrange for myself),
but I think the lyrics are for a girl, for example, they say
"A kingdom of isolation, and it looks like I'm the Queen"
"Let it go, let it go. That perfect girl is gone" etc...

Is it quite strange for native English speaker if male singers sing such lyrics?
If I should (can) change the lyrics partly, how shall I change?
(We sing in original key (it means, not with low voices))

It's not 100% linguistic question, but if you like music and help me, I'd be glad, thank you :)

Answer

"Queen" is a slang word for "gay man" - it shouldn't be a problem to change the lyrics slightly. Maybe it'll still sound OK with "it looks like I'm the King" and "that perfect guy is gone"?

Answer

I don't think it's strange at all! I found a song rendition of it at this link : https://youtu.be/1xGmx4K81Hc    
 Hope this helps :)
