Easy-to-sing Western songs for men: Tips for singing them at karaoke included

Post Malone – I Had Some Help (feat. Morgan Wallen) (Official Video)

Singer-songwriter Post Malone, known for his originality and inventive lyrics, has earned widespread popularity.

His polarizing style is certainly striking.

This track, “I Had Some Help (feat.

Morgan Wallen),” is a collaboration with Morgan Wallen, a singer-songwriter active in the country music scene.

While it contains elements of country, it leans more toward a soft alternative rock feel, characterized by a narrow vocal range and gentle rises and falls in pitch.

Piano ManBilly Joel

Do you know the music genre called piano rock? As the name suggests, it’s rock that features the piano as the main instrument, but compared to traditional rock it often has quieter songs, making them easier to sing.

It’s nice because, while being easy to sing, it still has those exciting, rock-like moments.

My top recommendation is Billy Joel’s “Piano Man.” Its melody incorporates elements of jazz, so singing it will give off a sophisticated impression.

Tears in HeavenEric Clapton

Tears in Heaven

Eric Clapton is a legendary singer known to anyone who loves music.

The song he created in memory of his late son is Tears in Heaven.

It’s a ballad for voice and guitar, with a melancholy tone throughout.

From a karaoke perspective, it doesn’t demand a powerful voice, so even if your English pronunciation isn’t perfect, it’s less likely to be noticeable.

If you can play the guitar, performing it as a sing-along could be a great choice.

Sunday MorningMaroon 5

Maroon 5 – Sunday Morning

This is a song released from the American band Maroon 5’s 2002 debut album, Songs About Jane.

If you can recreate the vocals of Adam Levine—who was once chosen as the Sexiest Man Alive—at karaoke, it’s sure to get everyone excited.

Bridge Over Troubled WaterSimon&Garfunkel

Simon & Garfunkel – Bridge Over Troubled Water (Audio)

Singing trendy songs is fine, but if there are people who aren’t familiar with Western music, choosing a universally known classic makes it easier for everyone to get excited together.

That’s why I’d like to recommend Bridge over Troubled Water, a folk rock classic.

Released by Simon & Garfunkel in 1970, it has since been covered by many famous artists.

In Japan, it’s also strongly associated with performances on the Kōhaku Uta Gassen.

The trick is to sing the first half modestly and then maximize your vocal power in the second half.

StargazingMyles Smith

Myles Smith – Stargazing (Lyric Video)

Miles Smith is a singer-songwriter from the UK.

He’s Black of Jamaican descent, but instead of lovers rock or new roots, his main style is pop punk.

Among his songs, the one I especially recommend is Stargazing.

It’s a track that gained worldwide popularity through social media.

Although the chorus features falsetto, the pitch movement is very gentle, and it doesn’t require difficult techniques like vocal runs or hiccups.

What Makes You BeautifulOne Direction

One Direction – What Makes You Beautiful (Lyric Video)

When it comes to artists from the UK who sparked a craze so big they were called the second coming of the Beatles, it’s One Direction.

Unfortunately, they’ve disbanded, but their songs are still popular at karaoke.

Among them, “What Makes You Beautiful,” which many people know, makes you look stylish just by singing it.
