A collection of cool songs that sound great when sung by women, originally male songs

These days, more male artists with high, soaring vocal ranges are emerging, and it’s becoming common for women to sing songs originally by male artists.

So this time, I’ll introduce men’s songs that sound especially cool when sung by women!

When a woman intentionally sings a man’s song, that contrast creates a fresh vibe and can make it sound really cool.

Songs by high-tenor male artists can also be easier for women to sing, so if you’re thinking, “I want to sing a male artist’s song at karaoke, but I don’t know what to pick,” use this as a reference!

Let’s get started.
