Great English-language songs recommended for women: world classics and popular hits

Good Morning BaltimoreNikki Blonsky

Hairspray Soundtrack | Good Morning Baltimore – Nikki Blonsky | WaterTower

The film Hairspray was released in 2007.

The song Good Morning Baltimore appears in the movie and is sung by the heroine, Nikki Blonsky.

Since it’s a musical-style number, it doesn’t feature the kind of complex vocal lines you hear in modern pop.

The vocal range is from mid2 B-flat to high C, so most women should be able to sing it in the original key.

However, because it often shifts directly from regular singing to a more speech-like delivery, it can be hard to score high at karaoke unless you have a good grasp of English intonation.

The RoseBette Midler

The Rose

The Rose is calm and soothing, and it’s a song that really shines when performed, so it should feel great to sing! When you sing it, breath control is key—you’ll want to let it flow as if you’re speaking throughout.

Try not to break it up too much; aim to sing one phrase at a time so it doesn’t sound choppy and keeps a soft, gentle vibe.

Take a deep breath and try connecting the lines smoothly, as if you’re drawing a large circle forward in front of you.

By the way, The Rose is often chosen for karaoke scoring as well.

The melody is easy to remember, so definitely give it a try!

What Do you mean?Justin Bieber

Justin Bieber – What Do You Mean?

It’s a song that’s familiar from the commercials.

The Japanese-translated lyrics are displayed, so I think it makes the content easy to understand.

Anyway, it’s super cool—absolutely captivating.

There are reports that Justin is very popular and has dated various celebrities.

Of course he looks great, and his voice is clear and beautiful, so I doubt there’s a woman who wouldn’t fall for him.

Born This WayLady Gaga

Lady Gaga – Born This Way (Official Music Video)

I think this song was a huge hit that made everyone aware of Lady Gaga.

I believe Japan was also influenced by its themes of homosexuality and religion.

Her unique outfits and makeup had a considerable impact on Japan.

Mariah Carey – All I Want For Christmas Is You (Official Video)

Mariah Carey’s signature song, “All I Want for Christmas Is You.” Although this piece is often cited as a difficult song, it’s not without singable elements.

The tricky part is mainly the slow-tempo opening; once the beat kicks in and the tempo picks up, the kind of wide-interval vocal runs heard in the intro appear less frequently.

Even so, the overall difficulty remains on the higher side, but given its top-tier recognition and popularity, it’s well worth the challenge.

Better In TimeLeona Lewis

Leona Lewis – Better in Time (Official Video)

Leona Lewis—this is the ultimate heart-wrenching song.

If you’ve ever been in love, you can probably relate to the lyrics.

It’s the kind of masterpiece that can make you cry when you listen to it alone.

Leona in the music video is both cute and beautiful.

Where is The love?The Black Eyed Peas

The Black Eyed Peas – Where Is The Love? (Official Music Video)

This is a signature song by The Black Eyed Peas.

They are a four-member co-ed group: will.i.am, Fergie, Taboo, and apl.de.ap.

Fergie is the only woman, and she sings well and is cute.

This is my favorite song by the Black Eyed Peas.
