[For Women] When in Doubt, Choose This! Easy-to-Sing Western Songs

You Raise Me UpCeltic Woman

Celtic Woman – You Raise Me Up (Live)

Celtic Woman, a group active mainly in Celtic music.

Their version of “You Raise Me Up” is a cover, yet it’s also known as one of their signature songs.

I’ll say this upfront: if you try to imitate Celtic Woman when you sing this, the difficulty will shoot up.

So what should you do? The key to making quiet, melodic Western songs sound good is to whisper.

If there’s a part you’re not confident about, just whisper it and convey a sense of emotion.

Be sure to adjust the key properly—otherwise you might not be able to hit the notes in the latter half—so know your own key in advance.

Have You Ever Seen The RainCreedence Clearwater Revival

Creedence Clearwater Revival – Have You Ever Seen The Rain (Official)

It’s a signature song by the American band Creedence Clearwater Revival.

It was released as a single in 1971 and has since been covered by many musicians.

Its simple yet powerful melody is sure to lift your spirits.

The Edge Of GloryLady Gaga

Lady Gaga – The Edge Of Glory Official Video

This is a 2011 single by Lady Gaga, whose stage name was inspired by Queen’s song “Radio Ga Ga.” It was used as the ending theme for the TV Asahi drama “Jiu: Keishicho Tokushu-han Sousa-gakkari,” which aired the same year.

Just Like FireP!nk

P!nk – Just Like Fire (From”Alice Through The Looking Glass” – Official Video)

The songs by American singer P!nk are a perfect fit for women.

Her powerful vocals and catchy pop sound are distinctive, and just listening to them can put you in a positive mood.

This track is from the soundtrack of the film Alice Through the Looking Glass, released in April 2016.

Its adventurous melody feels like a kind of magic that turns the impossible into possible.

The lyrics are full of messages that boost self-esteem and give you the courage to live each day with a positive outlook.

It’s also recommended for anyone looking for an easy-to-sing pop song.

Try EverythingShakira

Shakira – Try Everything (Official Video)

Just like with R&B and soul, I think many people feel a bit uncomfortable with reggaeton and Latin music.

For those people, I recommend Try Everything.

It’s sung by Shakira, who is from Colombia, but actually, she doesn’t have a powerful voice.

Maybe because of that vocal quality, many of her songs don’t rely on shouting even in the chorus.

This song is like that, and so is the famous Waka Waka.

You do need a bit of vibrato technique, but even if you can’t hit very high notes, you can sing it without any problem.

Into the UnknownIdina Menzel, AURORA

Idina Menzel, AURORA – Into the Unknown (From “Frozen 2″/Lyric Video)

Into the Unknown is the main theme from Frozen 2, performed as a duet by Idina Menzel and AURORA.

Like the previous film’s hit, its chorus really sticks in your ears, promising a massive breakout.

To sing that chorus, you build through the delicate melodies leading up to it, then let your voice soar right at the key moment—the thrill of belting that chorus is something you should experience for yourself.

Take Me Home, Country RoadsOlivia Newton-John

Olivia Newton-John – Take Me Home, Country Roads

Everyone must have sung “Take Me Home, Country Roads” at some point.

Sounds familiar, right? That’s right—it’s the original song of “Country Road,” which we even learn at school.

The “easy-to-sing genre” I mentioned at the beginning refers to country music, and as you can tell from the title, this song is a classic example of country.

It’s a genre you can sing even without a powerful voice.

It doesn’t require vocal runs either, so it’s great for beginners.

However, because there aren’t many lyrics, there are lots of long notes, so it’s a good idea to master vibrato.

You can still pull it off without it, but take this opportunity to learn vibrato!
