[For People in Their 50s] Western Songs That Are Easy to Sing at Karaoke: 2025 Ranking

Have You Ever Seen The RainRod Stewart64rank/position

Rod Stewart – Have You Ever Seen The Rain (Official Video)

Since it’s an anti-war song, I think it’s best if you fully understand its meaning before singing; that way, your emotions will come through and reach the listeners.

The key is well within a woman’s range, so please sing it powerfully—it’s a song I’d love everyone to remember.

TLC – No Scrubs (Official HD Video)

This song, which was a huge hit in ’99, is a nostalgic one for people in their 40s.

It’s hip-hop, but it’s not that difficult, so I definitely recommend trying it at karaoke.

Sing it with your kids and show off a little—tell them, “Back when I was younger, I used to listen to cool tracks like this!”

Among the many genres, Black music such as R&B and soul is known for being especially challenging.

Even so, there are surely people who aren’t confident in their singing but still want to try R&B.

For those people, I recommend the song “Under The Influence.” It’s a track by Chris Brown that blends hip-hop and R&B.

Because it has relatively few vocal lines and doesn’t rely heavily on “runs” (often used in R&B), it’s comparatively easy to sing within this genre.

Can’t Help Falling In LoveElvis Presley67rank/position

Elvis Presley – Can’t Help Falling In Love (Official Audio)

The Japanese title is “Suki ni Narazuni Irarenai.” As everyone knows, it’s Elvis Presley’s classic ballad! Its triplet-based swinging rhythm feels wonderfully pleasant.

And when it comes to pronouncing the English lyrics, there aren’t any parts that force you to rush, so it’s a very friendly song even for us Japanese people, who often struggle with English.

Personally, when I listen to this song, I picture a romantic sunset on a southern island—somewhere like Hawaii.

It’s a piece that excels at evoking vivid imagery, so as you sing it, try conjuring up your own scenes in your mind.

Big girl Don’t cryFergie68rank/position

Fergie – Big Girls Don’t Cry (Personal) (Official Music Video)

This solo song by Fergie from the Black Eyed Peas is uptempo yet has a slightly bittersweet, mature-woman vibe.

The chorus might be a bit high and hard to hit, but I hope you’ll practice it—it’s a number that women in their 40s can truly make their own.

You Give Love A Bad NameBon Jovi69rank/position

Bon Jovi – You Give Love A Bad Name

Japanese title: “Forbidden Love,” released in 1986.

This is the song that the comedienne Onishu Tsubaki often sings in her routine with the shout “Shotzah!” It’s also the theme song for Hanshin Tigers player Ryota Arai.

The lyrics express the singer’s feelings for the woman who stole his heart.

Even within Western music, there are different genres, and depending on your karaoke style, there are songs that are easy to sing and others that are difficult.

It’s hard to say what the right answer is, but if you can sing this latest love ballad, you’ll surely be able to sing other songs too.
