Michael Jackson – Black Or White (Official Video – Shortened Version)

Speaking of Michael Jackson’s signature songs from the early ’90s, I think it has to be “Black or White” from the album Dangerous.

It’s also famous for featuring Macaulay Culkin in the music video.

It’s a rock-tinged, danceable number with Michael’s shouts in top form, so try doing an impression and sing along.

P!nk – So What (Official Video)

This is a cheer song by the artist Pink, whose straightforward vocal approach and overwhelming sense of sound create a rocking, glamorous style.

The mature lyrics make it a great choice for karaoke and stir up a powerful vibe that resonates with women in their 30s.

A Thousand MilesVanessa Carlton53rank/position

Vanessa Carlton – A Thousand Miles

It’s a 2002 hit by American singer-songwriter Vanessa Carlton, and I don’t really know many of her other songs.

It’s an uptempo track you can play solo on piano, with a distinctive piano intro and a pleasant, easy-to-listen-to feel.

Justin Bieber – Love Yourself (Lyrics)

I want to show off a cool song at karaoke.

It might seem a bit challenging, but how about trying a Justin Bieber track? If you’re dealing with a breakup, take a cool approach toward the girlfriend who’s no longer around.

I recommend singing while understanding the lyrics.

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.

Don’t Worry Be HappyBobby McFerrin56rank/position

Bobby McFerrin – Don’t Worry Be Happy (Official Music Video)

Included on the 1988 album “Simple Pleasures.” Featured as an insert song in the film “Cocktail,” released the same year.

Born in 1950, a musician from New York State.

This number beautifully blends his a cappella vocals with choral harmonies over a mid-tempo, gently flowing doo-wop rhythm.
