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)
Boom Boom PowThe Black Eyed Peas
People who are aware they’re tone-deaf tend to pick quieter songs.
For those folks, I recommend “Boom Boom Pow” by The Black Eyed Peas.
At first listen, it might sound difficult, but try humming the chorus phrase—“boom boom pow.” Not so hard, right? Exactly—this kind of electropop is actually pretty easy.
If you sing it boldly, you can create the right vibe, so give it a try!
DesperadoThe Eagles
This song by the American rock band Eagles was released in 1973 as part of their album Desperado.
It has never been released as a single, but it has been covered by many artists, so chances are many of you have heard it.
In Japan as well, many artists such as Ken Hirai, Kiyotaka Sugiyama, and Chihiro Onitsuka have covered it, so quite a few people may have come to know the song through a cover version.
It’s a classic ballad that requires considerable vocal ability to perform properly, but there are hardly any parts with rapid-fire lyrics that would pose a major hurdle for Japanese speakers, and the melody is very catchy and memorable.
So I think it’s a great choice even for those who don’t usually sing in English.
Give it a try and sing it with style!
We Are Never Ever Getting Back TogetherTaylor Swift
A track from American young female country singer Taylor Swift’s fourth album, Red, released in August 2012.
In Japan, it was used as the theme song for the TV variety show Terrace House, and it was also used as Yomiuri Giants player Hayato Sakamoto’s theme in 2013, so many of you might recognize it from that.
Taylor is highly regarded in the U.
S.
for her vocal ability, and in this song she employs a variety of singing techniques, so singing it exactly as she does can be quite challenging for those who aren’t confident singers.
That said, the song itself is a contemporary country tune built on a very accessible, pop-friendly melody, so as material to practice singing, it’s not a bad choice even for beginners.
There are quite a few sections that go fairly high, so be sure to choose a comfortable key before you try singing it.
In conclusion
This time I tried picking out some Western songs that are easy to sing even for people who are tone-deaf, but.
.
.
wow, it was tough (lol).
Compared to Japanese songs, Western music generally demands more vocal technique.
That doesn’t mean you should just start practicing with Japanese songs, though.

Honestly, until you’ve got some technique, singing Western songs probably won’t be very fun.
That said, in the long run, practicing Western songs will net you more experience than Japanese songs.
If you’re serious about getting better at singing, try practicing Western songs no matter what!
