Kelly Clarkson – Since U Been Gone (Official Video)

Rock-style Western songs are cool to sing at karaoke and really get everyone hyped up.

If you’re looking for a rock track like that, I recommend Kelly Clarkson’s “Since U Been Gone.” It’s an awesome song where the guitar’s overflowing rock vibe matches perfectly with her high, powerful vocals.

During the chorus, everyone can do call-and-response, so it’s sure to get the crowd going.

Taylor Swift – New Romantics

Taylor Swift is a world-renowned diva and a hugely popular singer in Japan as well.

All of her songs are hits, so you’re guaranteed to get the crowd going if you sing them at karaoke! Her tracks tend to fall clearly into two types—tender ballads and high-energy numbers—and “New Romantics” leans toward the high-energy side.

It’s a really fun song, so try singing it together with everyone.

Ke$ha – We R Who We R (Official Video)

This is a song by a hugely popular American singer.

In Japan, many people sing Kesha’s songs at karaoke.

The music video features a captivating, mature and sexy voice and fashion.

The processed vocals might be hard to sing at karaoke, but since it’s only a small part, you can really get into the groove during the chorus and other sections.

Eric Clapton – Tears In Heaven (Official Video)

It’s Eric Clapton’s famous 1992 song—a beautiful, acoustic guitar piece he wrote about his late child.

If you sing it at karaoke, I recommend delivering it gently and mellowly.

I don’t think it’s a difficult song to sing, so give it a try.

Footloose – Kenny Loggins

This song, used as the theme for the movie Footloose, is by American musician Kenny Loggins, who worked on many 1980s film soundtracks including Top Gun.

It’s so well-known in Japan that female comedians often use it in their routines, so I think it’s a great choice to sing at karaoke because it will go over well.

Say Say Say by Paul McCartney and Michael Jackson

This headline-grabbing song, a collaboration between two superstars—Paul McCartney and Michael Jackson—became a massive hit in 1983.

It’s a rare and precious track, as the two later fell out over the rights to the Beatles’ catalog.

People in their mid to late 40s are especially likely to know it and get excited about it.

The Beatles – Yellow Submarine

A fun track with simple vocals, said to get everyone singing along to the chorus.

It was released in 1966 by The Beatles.

It was inspired by the 1906 track “Le Rêve Passe” by Georges Krier, Charles Helmer, and Armand Foucher.
