Karaoke songs in Western music that get women in their 40s excited: World classics and recommended popular tracks (1–10)
Hail Holy QueenDeloris Van Cartier
Sister Act, a classic film that continues to be loved by many viewers, is a heartwarming music-centered movie in which a struggling singer transforms a convent choir so dramatically that she gradually gains recognition from the townspeople and the convent community.
The film features numerous iconic songs, and among them, the most memorable is surely Hail Holy Queen, the first piece performed by the newly evolved choir.
Although it’s a traditional Christian hymn, this rendition is arranged with a decidedly groovy and lively vibe.
As a choral piece, some parts feature frequent improvisational embellishments, but the basic main melody is fairly easy to sing—so consider adding it to your repertoire.
Good Morning BaltimoreNikki Blonsky
The film Hairspray was released in 2007.
The song Good Morning Baltimore appears in the movie and is sung by the heroine, Nikki Blonsky.
Since it’s a musical-style number, it doesn’t feature the kind of complex vocal lines you hear in modern pop.
The vocal range is from mid2 B-flat to high C, so most women should be able to sing it in the original key.
However, because it often shifts directly from regular singing to a more speech-like delivery, it can be hard to score high at karaoke unless you have a good grasp of English intonation.
All I Want for Christmas Is YouMerry Christmas
Mariah Carey’s signature song, “All I Want for Christmas Is You.” Although this piece is often cited as a difficult song, it’s not without singable elements.
The tricky part is mainly the slow-tempo opening; once the beat kicks in and the tempo picks up, the kind of wide-interval vocal runs heard in the intro appear less frequently.
Even so, the overall difficulty remains on the higher side, but given its top-tier recognition and popularity, it’s well worth the challenge.
The RoseBette Midler
The Rose is calm and soothing, and it’s a song that really shines when performed, so it should feel great to sing! When you sing it, breath control is key—you’ll want to let it flow as if you’re speaking throughout.
Try not to break it up too much; aim to sing one phrase at a time so it doesn’t sound choppy and keeps a soft, gentle vibe.
Take a deep breath and try connecting the lines smoothly, as if you’re drawing a large circle forward in front of you.
By the way, The Rose is often chosen for karaoke scoring as well.
The melody is easy to remember, so definitely give it a try!
I Don’t Want to Miss a ThingAerosmith
I don’t want to miss a single moment spent with the one I love.
This earnest, pure feeling is sung as a power ballad set to a sweeping melody.
Created by the American rock band Aerosmith, the song is famously known as the theme for the 1998 film Armageddon.
It became a worldwide hit, marking the band’s first-ever No.
1 on the U.
S.
charts, where it reigned for four consecutive weeks.
The profound love that longs for someone so deeply that even time apart in dreams feels unbearable is conveyed through Steven Tyler’s passionate vocals, stirring listeners to their core.
Paired with the film’s moving scenes, it brought many to tears.
It’s a song that reminds us of the preciousness of love in the moments we share with those dear to us.
Heaven Is a Place on EarthBelinda Carlisle
A 1987 song by American singer Belinda Carlisle, I think this track is especially popular in Japan.
It was used on Fuji TV’s “Tokudane” and in Subaru commercials, so it’s a song you’ve surely heard at least once, and it’s sure to get the crowd going at karaoke.
Killing Me Softly With His SongThe Fugees
Originally, this song—known in Japan as “Yasashiku Utatte”—became a huge hit with Roberta Flack’s version.
Later, the hip-hop group Fugees, featuring Lauryn Hill, covered it, leading to a revival hit and earning them the Grammy Award for Best R&B Performance by a Duo or Group.
