The Backstreet Boys are a boy group that has captivated women around the world with their sweet looks and strong vocal performances.

If you’re a woman in your late twenties or older, you probably know them well.

While they built their reputation on high-quality vocals, they also have classic songs that are easy for beginners to sing.

One of those is I Want It That Way.

It features a melody that blends sweetness with a refreshing feel, and unusually for their songs, it doesn’t include any high-pitched parts.

Britney Spears, a female singer-songwriter who is hugely popular in Japan.

Her popularity in the early 2000s was tremendous, so anyone in their late 20s or 30s will likely know her.

Among her songs, the one I especially recommend is .

.

.

Baby One More Time.

Toxic is also a classic and relatively easy to sing, but .

.

Baby One More Time sits lower in the vocal range, so I think it’s even easier.

In fact, it has so many low parts that women may find it challenging, which might make it easier for men to sing.

The Chainsmokers is a music group consisting of Drew Taggart, Alex Pall, and Matt McGuire, who keep releasing worldwide hit tunes powered by EDM and electropop.

They’re a well-known group in Japan too, so you’ve probably heard of them.

Among their tracks, the one I especially recommend is “Closer (ft.

Halsey).” Since the song uses heavy effects, beginners should try using the karaoke effects feature.

With effects applied, it’s harder to mask vocals, so give it a try.

It’s also a male–female duet, making it a great pick for couples who want to post an English-language singing video!
