If you're gonna do Janis Joplin you should consider "Me and Bobby Mcgee" and "Piece of My Heart". I've always wanted to hear a woman do "Turn the Page".

Well let's see here, hmmm... Since you have a girl singer you could do some michael jackson :D hahaha kidding. You could do , Carry on my Wayward Son- Kansas. You maybe could do "immigrant song- led zeppelin" if she can get her voice low enough.
I am Comfortably Numb... :D
Oh yeah...STICK IT TO THE MAN!

You can do "Tequila Sunrise". I know it's from a male perspective but it's easily interchangable.

Any AC/DC when they had bon scott, its all good, but whats always troubled me is , how can a full grown man have a voice so high pitched, maybe his balls were run over wen he was young :confused:

Well, depending on how good your guitarist is, there's some Jimi Hendrix to be had. :D
Led Zeppelin:
Immigrant Song (Live version if you can handle the solo)
Since I've Been Lovin' You
Rock 'n Roll's a good one to get the crowd going.
AC/DC:
Sin City
Queen:
We will rock you. (Do that at a high school and see what happens, great song for that low of an IQ in a big room. :D:D)
