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 (51–60)
U Can’t Touch ThisMC Hammer
If you listened to Western music in the ’90s, you probably know “U Can’t Touch This.” It’s MC Hammer’s massive hit.
While it’s classified as contemporary R&B, it basically feels like a hip-hop track.
Even though it has lots of hip-hop elements, the flow is classic, so it doesn’t demand a strong sense of rhythm.
And since techniques like vibrato don’t come into play, if you’re confident in your pronunciation, definitely give it a try!
Uptown FunkMark Ronson feat. Bruno Mars
Wait, isn’t Bruno Mars impossible to sing? If that’s what you’re thinking—don’t worry, you can sing him.
In this song, there aren’t any high notes except for the phrase at the end of the chorus.
Plus, as long as you’ve got a sense of rhythm, anyone can end up sounding good.
The melody falls under the funk genre, and funk doesn’t really use long sustained notes or much vibrato.
So it’s surprisingly easy to sing even if you’re not pitch-perfect.
The English might be tricky, but definitely give it a try!
Used To Be YoungMiley Cyrus
Miley Cyrus, a female singer-songwriter who has gained popularity for her husky voice and wide-ranging musicality.
Released in August 2023, this work is a heartfelt mid-tempo ballad that looks back on her past.
The lyrics nostalgically recall the recklessness of her younger days, and the music video—where she wears a Mickey Mouse T-shirt reminiscent of her Disney Channel era—also drew attention.
Because the track emphasizes groove, the vocal line isn’t difficult and doesn’t include any particularly high parts.
Among many Western pop songs that are challenging to sing, this one is especially approachable.
To Be With YouMr. BIG
This song, released in 1991 by the American band Mr.
Big—featuring top-tier virtuoso musicians like guitarist Paul Gilbert and bassist Billy Sheehan—became a massive hit, reaching No.
1 on the Billboard charts.
Eric Martin’s vocals on this track showcase his soulful qualities to great effect within a simple, catchy melody.
While the band’s signature flashy, technical instrumental work takes a back seat here, the song is highly polished as a vocal-centric piece and very enjoyable.
Now, singing this with the kind of soulful delivery Eric himself uses, full of ad-libs, can be quite challenging for those not confident in their singing.
However, if you simply trace the melody as it is, it’s a very singable and beautiful song.
So if you try it at karaoke, consider not focusing too much on imitating the original.
Also, be careful with the key setting—you might run into unexpectedly high notes in the original key.

Miss YouOliver Tree & Robin Schulz
Oliver Tree is a singer-songwriter who’s insanely popular on TikTok.
Despite his striking visual style, his music is sleek and stylish, and that contrast has won him fans all over the world.
Among his works, the one I especially recommend is Miss You—the one you often hear on TikTok.
Since it’s dance music, the vocals are restrained.
There isn’t much to memorize in the lyrics, so it’s an easy song to sing even if you’re not a great singer.
Look At Her NowSelena Gomez
“Look At Her Now” is a dance-pop tune by Selena Gomez.
Her songs are generally easy to sing.
That’s because she isn’t the type to belt out powerful notes, which means they’re approachable for amateurs like us.
This track doesn’t use long sustained notes or vibrato.
As long as your pitch and pronunciation are on point, it’ll sound stylish.
Give it a try!
Until I Found YouStephen Sanchez
Singer-songwriter Stephen Sanchez has gained worldwide popularity with a musical style centered on nostalgic pop rock and folk pop that evokes the image of the late Elvis Presley.
His song “Until I Found You” is his biggest hit, wrapped in a gentle melody that recalls the sounds of the 1950s and 1960s.
The vocal line is simple, so even those who are tone-deaf should find it easy to follow.
Adding a heavy echo enhances the atmosphere, so I highly recommend it!
