Christina Perri – A Thousand Years [Official Music Video]

This is a song with an unforgettable, heartwarming melody themed around eternal love.

Released in October 2011 as an insert song for the film The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 1, it became a massive hit worldwide.

Christina Perri’s clear, pure vocals gently wrap around the poignant lyrics.

With a narrow vocal range and a simple melody, it’s popular as an easy song to sing at karaoke.

It’s the perfect track for conveying your feelings to someone you’re interested in or expressing love to someone special.

With its relaxed tempo, if you sing it with emotion, it’s sure to resonate in the listener’s heart.

Take A BowRihanna23rank/position

Rihanna – Diamonds

No, no, no—there’s no way you can sing a Rihanna song, right? I’m sure many of you think that.

It’s true that a lot of her songs are R&B or reggaeton, so they’re not easy to sing.

But this song is different.

Listen closely.

Even when it hits the chorus, the voltage doesn’t really rise—meaning there’s no shouting.

On top of that, there aren’t many spots where you need to use vibrato.

And furthermore, there aren’t many places where you need to use runs—the kind of “kobu-shi” we say in Japanese.

In short, as long as you capture the vibe, this is the kind of song that will sound cool.

The song “I Want It That Way,” a hit by the popular American male group Backstreet Boys, was released in 1999.

It’s a timeless track loved around the world.

This poignant ballad really tugs at the heartstrings.

Its melody is easy for women to sing as well, making it a great song to perform at karaoke for friends and others to enjoy.

Billie Eilish – bad guy

The worldwide hit song “bad guy.” It’s Billie Eilish’s signature track.

If you know it, you’ll already be aware that this song has no long tones, no vibrato, no high parts, and no shouting.

In other words, it’s a kind, easy-to-sing song that lets you sound cool just by nailing the vibe (lol).

Basically, as long as you can pronounce the English properly, anyone can sing it well.

But! If you want to make it sound even cooler, try singing it with intensity—mix in some shouts with a thicker voice, okay? If you can pull that off, you’re basically at a pro level.

Love StoryTaylor Swift26rank/position

Taylor Swift – Love Story

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.

Anna Kendrick – Cups (Pitch Perfect’s “When I’m Gone”) (Director’s Cut)

If you’re confident in your dynamics, I recommend “Cups.” At first, you might think it’s just a typical pop song, but surprisingly, it’s actually country music.

Country songs often tend to be fairly simple and don’t require much dynamic variation, but this track can sound sloppy without good dynamics, so be careful.

Even if you can’t do vibrato, you can get away with it by nicely fading out the ends of phrases.

It’s not an extremely easy song, but give it a try!

Speechless (from Aladdin)Naomi Scott28rank/position

Naomi Scott – Speechless (from Aladdin) (Official Video)

For those confident in their lower register, I recommend “Speechless (from Aladdin).” It’s sung by Naomi Scott, who played Jasmine in the hugely successful live-action Aladdin.

Since she isn’t primarily a singer, her vocal ability isn’t extremely high—which means the song is relatively easy to sing.

However, because it’s not a lyric-dense song, it can feel drawn out, so it can be tough if you can’t do vibrato.

The low notes at the beginning are also challenging.

Western pop is overwhelmingly more difficult than Japanese pop, so that’s something you can’t really avoid.
