Burn by Jo Dee Messina?

Hello,

I am considering auditioning for a virtual idol competition next year. I am considering the songs Burn or Bring on the Rain by Jo Dee Messina. However, neither fit my range perfectly. I'm an Alto, so my range is pretty low. I can't sing above a fifth octave c comfortably. With Burn, there are a couple high notes in there like at the second chorus in the line "Burn for me burn for me" as well as the chorus itself is in my break area. Therefore, I am considering dropping the chorus down an octave to accommodate the range issue. I can't really lower the entire song since I don't want the verse to end up being too low. Would the average listener even notice if I dropped the chorus down? If it is a big deal, what are some techniques I can try to make the high notes easier? Would Bring on the Rain fit my range better than Burn? I would love any opinions on this. Thank you.
