[For Women] If You’re Unsure, Choose These! Easy-to-Sing Western Songs (51–60)

DANCE MONKEYTones and I

Yes, looking at this song choice, quite a few people probably thought, “No way, DANCE MONKEY is impossible…” But wouldn’t it be cool if you could sing it? It’s true the song has a strong, quirky style, so expressiveness is required.

However, from a purely vocal standpoint, it’s actually not that difficult.

That’s because there aren’t any spots that use vocal runs.

There’s hardly any vibrato, either.

On top of that, there’s no high-note section and no shouting parts.

In other words, it’s a song you can carry on vibe alone.

That said, you need a ton of expressiveness.

Go all in—sing it with as much swagger as you can.

Don’t Start NowDua Lipa

Dua Lipa’s dance tune “Don’t Start Now.” Even though it’s called a dance tune, it doesn’t have an electro feel.

The track isn’t busy or cluttered, so when you sing it, it’ll probably feel quite simple.

Since Dua Lipa is known for her low vocal tone, the low range is emphasized in this song as well.

That said, it’s not so low that you won’t be able to sing it.

It doesn’t require vibrato or vocal runs, but there are staccato-like vocals, so a good sense of rhythm is necessary.

Bad RomanceLady Gaga

It’s a single by Lady Gaga released in 2009.

Overseas, opinions are divided—perhaps due to the provocative music video—but in Japan it’s very popular, and although it requires quite a bit of practice, many people still sing it at karaoke.

The key when singing it at karaoke is how clearly you can pronounce the English lyrics.

Britney Spears’s hit song “…Baby One More Time.” Compared to the other songs introduced here, this one is a bit more difficult, but if you’re confident in your lower range, you should be able to sing it with ease.

Genre-wise, it probably leans closest to R&B… Wait, isn’t R&B hard? If that’s what you’re thinking—don’t worry.

While this song features many R&B-style phrases, it doesn’t include any of the “runs” (vocal embellishments) commonly used in R&B! So it’s actually fairly easy to sing.

That said, the lyrics are sparse, which makes it harder to cover up mistakes.

If you still want a way to fudge it a bit, try incorporating edge voice—a technique where you slightly constrict your throat while singing.

This is a song written and composed by Pete Seeger in 1955.

In Japanese, it is translated as “Where Have All the Flowers Gone.” Many people will likely remember Katarina Witt skating to this piece in the ladies’ singles free skate in figure skating.

APT.ROSÉ & Bruno Mars

Rosé, who has gained popularity as a member of the hit K-pop group BLACKPINK, has also been active as a solo artist recently, producing globally successful tracks.

Among her works, the one I especially recommend is APT.

This piece is a collaboration with Bruno Mars and is derived from a Korean singing game.

Given that background, the chorus, which pays homage to the singing game, is very simple.

The original parts don’t require a particularly wide vocal range either, so including Bruno Mars’s section, it’s a song that’s quite easy to sing.

Back To YouSelena Gomez

Back To YouSelena Gomez

Selena Gomez is active both as an actress and an artist.

Her voice, for better or worse, doesn’t have much power.

In “Back To You,” she also sings without putting force into her voice.

It feels like a downer-style dance track.

You might think, “Wait, but in dance music don’t you use runs and vibrato?” Actually, in this song… there are no runs at all.

In other words, even if your voice lacks power and you can’t do runs, you can still sing it.

Try singing it in a whispery way.

You should be able to deliver a fairly cohesive performance!
