Karaoke songs in Western music that excite women in their 50s: world classics and recommended popular tracks

Seven Nation ArmyThe White Stripes

The White Stripes – Seven Nation Army (Official Music Video)

This is a song by The White Stripes that’s so highly respected that there’s hardly a rock fan who doesn’t know it.

With its distinctive melody and a sound that guitarists can’t resist, it features an outstanding guitar riff.

It’s a highly recommended number that I’d love for you to sing at karaoke with a real, authentic sound.

QuadropheniaThe Who

The Who – Quadrophenia

This track is another exhilarating rock song featured on The Who’s Quadrophenia.

At the time, the album was said to have a groundbreaking concept in the music scene, and even now you can fully feel its charisma.

Its dramatic song structure really stirs the emotions.

The Real MeThe Who

The Who – The Real Me

It’s an exhilarating rock song from The Who’s Quadrophenia.

The lyrics humorously give voice to the mindset of a misfit, brilliantly portraying a young man’s struggle with the feeling that neither his mother nor his doctor sees who he really is.

If your group understands a bit of English, it’s a song you can enjoy just by following the lyrics as they go by.

Of course, the song itself is also highly polished and masterfully crafted.

Love On TopBeyoncé

Beyoncé – Love On Top (Official Video)

When it comes to cool international female vocalists, many people probably think of Beyoncé.

In Japan, she’s well known thanks to Naomi Watanabe’s impersonations.

Among her songs, this particular track is especially difficult to sing.

The vocal range is extremely wide, and the rhythmic phrasing is very challenging, so it’s tough to pull off unless you’re quite a skilled singer.

If you’re a confident female vocalist who likes Western music, give it a try! It’s also totally fine to lower the overall key a little so you don’t strain yourself.

Top Of The WorldCarpenters

Top Of The World

This is a classic Carpenters song that’s often recommended for studying English.

In Japan, it’s been used as background music in various situations, and there are even versions with the lyrics translated into Japanese, so it’s a song many people know! Because the English lyrics are easy to understand, even those who haven’t sung it before can learn it quickly with a little practice.

Its upbeat, bright tempo makes it really enjoyable to listen to.

Since it’s well-known and easy for anyone to sing, it’s sure to liven things up if everyone at karaoke sings it together!

Private EyesDaryl Hall & John Oates

Daryl Hall & John Oates – Private Eyes (Official HD Video)

An ultra-famous song by Hall & Oates that topped the U.

S.

charts for two consecutive weeks in 1981.

It was even featured in TV commercials.

Hall & Oates are extremely popular in Japan and have many other hits, but if you’re singing karaoke, this number-one track is the way to go! It’s a super lively, pop tune that makes you want to jump in with call-and-response.

Shape of YouEd Sheeran

Ed Sheeran – Shape of You (Official Music Video)

When you feel like going to karaoke and singing some Western music, choosing popular songs or ones high on the charts can get everyone hyped, even if some people don’t know many Western songs! Ed Sheeran’s “Shape of You” is a tune most people have heard, so it’s likely to go over well.

The verse doesn’t have much melody contour and keeping the rhythm can be tricky, but if you nail it, it’s incredibly cool.

The falsetto that comes in at the chorus represents a woman’s voice, so it might be fun to have a woman who likes Western music help you out! Let your sweet voice ring out.
