[High-Score-Friendly Western Songs] Carefully Selected Famous and Easy-to-Sing Tracks (1–10)
ComplicatedAvril Lavigne
This is a song released in 2002, and even people who don’t usually listen to Western music might recognize it from cable radio.
The tempo is on the slower side, so the lyrics aren’t difficult, and if you sing carefully, the English shouldn’t be a problem! The title “Complicated” means things like “complex,” “troublesome,” “intricate,” “difficult,” or “challenging,” so putting too much emotion into it might actually hurt your score.
I think the people who can sing it lightly, just matching the pitch bar, tend to score higher.
Katakana-style English is fine, so try singing it while keeping a steady vertical groove with the rhythm!
HelloAdele
“Hello” is a slow-tempo song strongly associated with emotional expression.
For karaoke scoring, it’s best to hold back your emotions a bit.
That said, the vibe changes completely from the verse to the pre-chorus to the chorus, so switching between singing quietly and dynamically should naturally boost your expressiveness score.
Be careful with the verse rhythm: the accompaniment is sparse and the melody lingers, so if your timing slips, you’ll get docked points—stay calm and keep the beat.
In the chorus, you’ll encounter repeated long tones that can rack up points.
It’s important to watch the pitch bar and sustain the notes all the way to the end.
Shape of YouEd Sheeran
“Shape of You” has a strong R&B vibe that evokes an apparel shop atmosphere.
The tempo isn’t too fast, so even if you’re not confident in English, you can calmly follow the lyrics while singing.
If you carefully pick up each phrase, you shouldn’t fall out of rhythm.
However, because the melody flows continuously, finding good spots to breathe might be tricky.
The range isn’t very high, so try not to release all your air at once—let it out little by little to control your breath and make it easier to sing.
In the latter half, there are ad-lib sections that add excitement, so if you’re using a scoring feature, it’s a good idea to check which line is the main melody.
Western Songs for High Scores: A Curated Selection of Famous and Easy-to-Sing Tracks (11–20)
Let It GoIdina Menzel
“Let It Go” from Frozen took the world by storm.
Many of you probably already know the melody from the Japanese version.
This time it’s in English, so pronunciation comes into play, but there aren’t any particularly tricky fast parts—if you read the lyrics straightforwardly, you’ll lock into the rhythm.
The point to watch out for is the high note that goes up to D#5.
Very few people can hit this in chest voice, so aim to place it with a strong head voice.
Momentum is crucial: take a breath and imagine sending a thin, focused stream of sound far out in front of you.
I Don’t Want To Miss A ThingAerosmith
The 1998 film Armageddon’s theme song, “I Don’t Want to Miss a Thing.” The chorus is especially striking, and the melody line seems like it would get very emotional when you sing it.
The latter part has intense ad-libs, right? When you’re doing a scoring feature, you have to decide how to handle that section, but basically the pitch bar is created to match the original melody line, so you’ll just have to learn it as is.
Imitating it as-is could strain your throat, so make sure your vocal cords are properly engaged.
Place a finger in the hollow between your collarbones and speak—you should feel vibrations.
That sensation means your vocal cords are buzzing; keep that vibration in mind and imagine projecting your voice from the vocal cords as you sing.
Wishing you an easy, comfortable voice all the way to the end!
World’s Smallest ViolinAJR
A poppy, upbeat sound.
It seems like it would be simple and fun to hype up the room at karaoke.
However, if you’re aiming for a high score, you’ll need to manage the excitement in the latter half so you don’t rush.
Try to stay energized yet somewhat calm.
Since the rhythm is brisk from the A verse, it’s good if you can lock into the finer subdivisions.
I recommend mimicking a chopping motion with your hand—like cutting with a kitchen knife—tap-tap-tap; it helps you keep a steady, detailed pulse.
Also, relax your body.
Moving like this naturally helps you loosen up, so try to keep your body as relaxed and floppy as possible!
SheElvis Costello
The classic Western ballad “She.” It has a romantic and calm vibe.
It might be a bit high in range when sung by a man.
You’ll want to sing with feeling, but if you put in too much emotion, your voice can waver, which isn’t ideal for scoring.
The best approach is to sing with a straightforward, steady tone.
The lyrics are minimal, so it’s a great pick for beginners to Western songs.
It builds toward the latter half and the range goes up slightly, so focus on keeping the tempo without getting overly carried away.
And keep your eyebrows lifted the whole time!
