I Want To Break FreeQueen43rank/position

Queen – I Want To Break Free (Official Video)

The song “I Want to Break Free,” included on the 11th album The Works and also known for its music video—a parody of the British TV drama Coronation Street—that sparked mixed reactions.

Because of its lyrics, it became popular in South America at the time as an anthem of freedom for people suffering under oppressive regimes.

Its vocal range is narrow and the pitch movement isn’t drastic, so you can sing it comfortably while listening to the ensemble.

If possible, I’d like you to sing it with an understanding of the lyrics—this is a soulful pop tune.

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!”

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.

“Rock with You” is a single released in 1979 by Michael Jackson, known as the King of Pop.

Although he had only just entered his twenties at the time, Michael already displayed overwhelming charisma and vocal prowess, making this work unforgettable.

The song was released as a single from the album Off the Wall.

For a 50th birthday, if you want to be swept away by the voice of a diva said to span seven octaves, how about this song? It was also the theme song for TBS’s PyeongChang Olympics coverage.

It’s an anthem that cheers you on as you add another year and continue through life.
