As a tip for singing Western songs at karaoke, don’t make it your very first song—add it a few songs in, and start singing with a light, practice-like mindset.

With this song, the famous phrase kicks in right from the intro, so it’s sure to get the crowd going at karaoke.

The rhythm is relaxed, too, so let’s all sing along together!

You Raise Me UpCeltic Woman

Celtic Woman – You Raise Me Up (Live)
You Raise Me UpCeltic Woman

Celtic Woman, a group active mainly in Celtic music.

Their version of “You Raise Me Up” is a cover, yet it’s also known as one of their signature songs.

I’ll say this upfront: if you try to imitate Celtic Woman when you sing this, the difficulty will shoot up.

So what should you do? The key to making quiet, melodic Western songs sound good is to whisper.

If there’s a part you’re not confident about, just whisper it and convey a sense of emotion.

Be sure to adjust the key properly—otherwise you might not be able to hit the notes in the latter half—so know your own key in advance.

Wouldn’t it be cool to be able to sing a slick Western pop song? The thing is, there aren’t many like that out there.

This “Sweet Dreams (Are Made Of This)” is one of the few cool Western songs that’s easy to sing.

You’ll notice when you hear the melody that the song is surprisingly simple.

It actually works even without much dynamics or vibrato.

Of course, using those techniques will make it sound way better.

The melody leans toward the lower register, but if it’s too low for you, just raise the key.

The overall range is narrow, so it’s relatively easy to sing.

As for the falsetto parts in the middle of the song, feel free to tweak and arrange them loosely to get by.

Lady Gaga, a female singer-songwriter who has been gaining momentum again recently.

Although her activity once seemed to settle down, the string of hit tunes she’s produced since the 2020s has been remarkable.

Her new song is “Disease.” While its electro, gothic-tinged melody is striking, techniques like falsetto and ad-libbing (vocal riffs) don’t appear much.

For those more accustomed to powerful, full-voice singing, it’s a very easy song to perform.

Take A BowRihanna

No, no, no—there’s no way you can sing a Rihanna song, right? I’m sure many of you think that.

It’s true that a lot of her songs are R&B or reggaeton, so they’re not easy to sing.

But this song is different.

Listen closely.

Even when it hits the chorus, the voltage doesn’t really rise—meaning there’s no shouting.

On top of that, there aren’t many spots where you need to use vibrato.

And furthermore, there aren’t many places where you need to use runs—the kind of “kobu-shi” we say in Japanese.

In short, as long as you capture the vibe, this is the kind of song that will sound cool.

Please Please PleaseSabrina Carpenter

Singer-songwriter Sabrina Carpenter, who drew attention for the love triangle involving Camila Cabello and Shawn Mendes, is now dating Barry Keoghan, and this song is about her boyfriend.

It’s a somewhat serious love song, with a vocal line that matches the lyrics’ tone, leaning a bit downtempo.

Although the range is wide, the pitch movement is gentle and there are no vocal runs, making it a very easy song to sing.

ComplicatedAvril Lavigne

Avril Lavigne’s hit song “Complicated.” Her music is often seen as punk, but this track feels rather pop.

The melody is quite simple, so I think it’s easy to sing.

However, the chorus does require a fairly powerful delivery, so you might need to practice that part.

That said, it’s more about conveying strength than sheer volume, so even those who aren’t confident in their vocal power should be fine.

The English isn’t too difficult either, so it’s recommended for beginners.

Give it a try!
