We Are Never Ever Getting Back TogetherNEW!Taylor Swift

Taylor Swift – We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together
We Are Never Ever Getting Back TogetherNEW!Taylor Swift

Singer-songwriter Taylor Swift has been active for many years.

This piece is a track that premiered in August 2012 ahead of her fourth album, Red, the record on which she made a major shift from country to pop.

In Japan, it was used as the theme song for the reality show Terrace House, so many people may recognize it from that.

The lyrics depict a strong resolve as she declares to an ex who wants to get back together, “We are never ever getting back together!” With a quintessential pop melody, it’s perfect for singing with an explosive energy.

If you deliver the conversational parts with emotion, it’s sure to get the crowd going at karaoke.

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.

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.

Don’t Know WhyNorah Jones

Norah Jones is a jazz singer who enjoys great popularity in Japan as well.

When you hear “jazz,” it might feel a bit intimidating, but her work is different.

She’s known for jazz that incorporates mainstream pop elements, making all of her songs notably easy to sing.

Among them, the one I especially recommend is Don’t Know Why.

It has a laid-back, pastoral vibe, and its vocal range is narrow—mid2 B♭ to high B♭—with very gentle rises and falls in the melody.

The latter half of the chorus tends to slip into falsetto, so if you’re not comfortable with head voice, consider adjusting the key with that section in mind.

Olivia Rodrigo is a female singer-songwriter who has gained popularity for her wide-ranging musicality.

Even those who aren’t very familiar with Western music have probably heard her songs or her voice at least once.

Her renowned track “drivers license,” released in 2021, became popular for its emotional vocals.

While it features a lot of falsetto and requires delicate pitch control, it doesn’t incorporate much of the advanced technique known as ‘fakes’ (improvisational runs).

So as long as you can accurately follow the pitch, it’s not an especially difficult song to perform.

Love StoryTaylor Swift

Taylor Swift is a female singer-songwriter who has been active at the forefront of the global music scene for many years.

While she now incorporates a variety of genres, including synth-pop, back when she released Love Story, her music was primarily rooted in mainstream country.

True to country music, this song features a very singable vocal line.

There are hardly any advanced techniques like falls or vocal runs, and the range is relatively narrow for a female song (mid2A to hiB), so as long as you handle English linking properly, it should be easy to aim for a high score at karaoke.
