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.

TLC is an American female R&B trio whose name comes from the initials of its members: T-Boz, Left Eye, and Chilli.

In 2002, one member, Left Eye, died in an accident, and the remaining two have continued their activities to this day.

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 Carlton83rank/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.

Love YourselfJustin Bieber84rank/position

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.
