DreamsThe Cranberries50rank/position

The Cranberries – Dreams (Dir: Peter Scammell) (Official Music Video)

It’s an exhilarating song, so singing it at karaoke is sure to relieve stress.

Even if high notes are tough for you, using falsetto should be fine.

The only thing is, the song is really long, so listeners might get bored.

But if you’re doing solo karaoke, you can sing it without worrying about that.

Ariana Grande – we can’t be friends (wait for your love) (official music video)

Ariana Grande is a female singer-songwriter who’s always at the forefront of the scene.

Early on, she set herself apart with her high tones, including her whistle register, but lately her downbeat, realistic lyrics have been especially striking.

Among her songs, the one I particularly recommend is “we can’t be friends.” While it’s on the slightly higher side, it doesn’t have an extremely wide vocal range, so you should be able to sing it smoothly if you adjust the key.

It’s a synthwave-style track that doesn’t place heavy emphasis on advanced vocal techniques like runs or hiccups, so definitely consider adding it to your repertoire.

I Knew I Loved YouSavage Garden52rank/position

Savage Garden – I Knew I Loved You (Official Video)

This is a song by Savage Garden about a fateful encounter—falling in love at first sight.

The powerful lyric “I loved you before I met you” is especially striking and resonates deeply with listeners.

Included on their 1999 album Affirmation, it became a global hit, reaching No.

1 on the U.

S.

Billboard Hot 100.

Its timeless appeal endures, having been featured in the TV series Bull, among others.

Imagine Darren Hayes’s soaring vocals and try singing it in front of someone you like—their heart is sure to be moved.

The Band Perry – If I Die Young (Official Music Video)

A signature song by The Band Perry that captured many listeners’ hearts with its gentle melody and resonant lyrics.

Released in June 2010, it achieved great success, reaching No.

1 on both the country and adult contemporary charts.

The song quietly yet powerfully portrays thoughts on dying young and the fragility of life.

Kimberly Perry’s clear lead vocals further enhance the song’s world.

For karaoke, it’s recommended to sing while thinking of someone dear to you.

It’s a track that feels tender yet strong, and it will surely soothe the hearts of those around you.

Whitney Houston – I Will Always Love You – Lyrics

Whitney Houston’s “I Will Always Love You” is a worldwide classic and a karaoke staple that’s often sung on Japanese karaoke shows.

There are plenty of reference videos, so it’s easy to practice and sing.

The soaring vocals unique to female singers and the breathtaking chorus move listeners of any generation.

Madonna – Material Girl (Official Video) [HD]

Madonna’s songs are super cool to sing, but many of them are tough, so a lot of people hesitate.

This song, though, has relatively easy-to-remember lyrics and a steady key, so I think it’s easier to sing.

Try shouting in a cute, sultry way like Madonna!

Lady Gaga – Yoü And I

The globally famous songstress Lady Gaga’s “Yoü And I” is a track released in 2011.

It’s a relaxed ballad with many repeated sections, making it easy to sing.

It’s a grand song reflecting Lady Gaga’s life, and the chorus is especially exciting.

It’s a great Western song for karaoke.
