Karaoke songs in Western music that are easy to sing even for people who are tone-deaf
A roundup of easy-to-sing Western karaoke songs even for the tone-deaf!
I know many people feel intimidated by Western music.
In Japanese pop, techniques like vocal runs or shouts aren’t used very often.
Especially vocal runs—similar to what we call “kobushi” in Japan—aren’t typically attempted.
Because we grow up with that kind of musical culture, many Japanese people end up lacking a strong sense of rhythm or melodic phrasing.
This time, I’ve picked out songs that even those with a very “purely Japanese” musical sensibility can sing and still sound cool!
Of course, I’ll also highlight specific tips for each song!
We’ll cover some technical points too, so if you want to get better at singing, don’t miss this!

Karaoke Songs in Western Music That Are Easy to Sing Even for the Tone-Deaf (71–80)
Time After TimeCyndi Lauper
A song by American singer Cyndi Lauper.
It was included on her 1983 album She’s So Unusual and was co-written by Lauper and Rob Hyman of The Hooters.
It was released as a single the following year, 1984, and reached No.
1 in the U.
S.
It has since become a standard covered by many artists, including Miles Davis.
Since Cyndi Lauper herself is not the type of singer who showcases powerhouse vocals, I think this song, with its approachable melody, is easy to tackle even for those who aren’t very used to singing Western pop.
It might also be fun to turn the chorus into a duet with a male singer and try harmonizing.
Hotline BlingDrake
When it comes to genres that are easy to sing even for people who are tone-deaf, hip-hop is probably the top choice.
That said, with Western music, pronunciation can be a concern.
So this time, we’ve picked Drake’s “Hotline Bling,” which is mellow and not too difficult in terms of pronunciation.
Unlike pop, mellow hip-hop rarely uses vibrato, making it easier to sing.
This song doesn’t use any vibrato at all.
Instead, it requires more sense of rhythm than typical songs.
If you’re confident in your rhythm, give it a try.
abcdefuGAYLE
Singer-songwriter GAYLE, who rose to fame on TikTok, has become known worldwide.
You’ve probably heard her track “abcdefu” at least once, haven’t you? The song mixes genres like pop-punk, pop rock, and indie rock, giving it a punchy feel overall.
However, that’s more about the overall package—surprisingly, the vocal line itself is quite simple.
From the first verse to the final chorus, there are no high parts at all, and the lyrics aren’t overly packed in, so even people who aren’t confident in their pitch will find it easy to sing.
Who SaysJohn Mayer
John Mayer is highly acclaimed not only as a singer-songwriter but also as a guitarist.
His song “Who Says” is one of his hits.
As you’ll notice when you listen, this track doesn’t feature any belted phrases.
It also doesn’t require much sense of rhythm, so it’s very easy to sing for those who are tone-deaf.
If you cut off the ends of your phrases as you sing, you can avoid long sustained notes and also create a certain vibe—so definitely give it a try.
SpinninMadison Beer
Madison Beer is a female singer-songwriter who has continued to gain popularity since the 2010s.
With model-like looks and a refined musical sensibility, she’s especially supported by people in their 20s in the English-speaking world.
Among her songs, I particularly recommend Spinnin.
This track has a slow, downtempo vibe and doesn’t require many techniques beyond controlling dynamics.
I think it’s very easy to sing even for those who are pitch-challenged.
It’s especially recommended if you like the kind of sound Billie Eilish is known for.
You ProofMorgan Wallen
Morgan Wallen is a country musician who represents America.
After collaborating with rapper Lil Durk in 2019, he once again began attracting attention from younger audiences.
Among his songs, the one I especially recommend for being easy to sing is You Proof.
While he’s known for his punchy vocals, he holds back on this track, creating a relaxed atmosphere throughout.
As long as you learn the English lyrics well, it’s easy to sing even if you’re not a strong singer—so give it a try!
DANCE MONKEYTones and I
Tones and I’s hit song “DANCE MONKEY,” which was a massive success in 2019.
You might wonder, “Can anyone really sing such an eccentric song?” Don’t worry.
While the melody is certainly unusual, it actually doesn’t require as many vocal techniques as you might think.
Techniques like vibrato or the kind of embellishment called “fake” in Japan (similar to a bluesy turn) don’t even appear.
The only truly challenging part is sustaining the voice.
If you don’t sing boldly, it can end up sounding sloppy, so be careful.
