Take A BowRihanna8rank/position

Rihanna – Diamonds

No, no, no—there’s no way you can sing a Rihanna song, right? I’m sure many of you think that.

It’s true that a lot of her songs are R&B or reggaeton, so they’re not easy to sing.

But this song is different.

Listen closely.

Even when it hits the chorus, the voltage doesn’t really rise—meaning there’s no shouting.

On top of that, there aren’t many spots where you need to use vibrato.

And furthermore, there aren’t many places where you need to use runs—the kind of “kobu-shi” we say in Japanese.

In short, as long as you capture the vibe, this is the kind of song that will sound cool.

S.

Lady Gaga – Bad Romance (Official Music Video)

It’s a single by Lady Gaga released in 2009.

Overseas, opinions are divided—perhaps due to the provocative music video—but in Japan it’s very popular, and although it requires quite a bit of practice, many people still sing it at karaoke.

Taylor Swift – You Belong With Me

Teenagers love Taylor Swift.

These days, she keeps releasing songs that seem destined to be hits, but “You Belong With Me” is from her country phase.

Country music is surprisingly easy to sing.

As I mentioned at the beginning, it’s a genre that’s easy for women to sing, too.

Country is simple.

It doesn’t require that much vocal prowess.

Even if you’re not good at vibrato, this song still works pretty well—so definitely give it a try!
