Tears in HeavenEric Clapton
Eric Clapton is a legendary singer known to anyone who loves music.
The song he created in memory of his late son is Tears in Heaven.
It’s a ballad for voice and guitar, with a melancholy tone throughout.
From a karaoke perspective, it doesn’t demand a powerful voice, so even if your English pronunciation isn’t perfect, it’s less likely to be noticeable.
If you can play the guitar, performing it as a sing-along could be a great choice.
Bridge Over Troubled WaterSimon&Garfunkel
Singing trendy songs is fine, but if there are people who aren’t familiar with Western music, choosing a universally known classic makes it easier for everyone to get excited together.
That’s why I’d like to recommend Bridge over Troubled Water, a folk rock classic.
Released by Simon & Garfunkel in 1970, it has since been covered by many famous artists.
In Japan, it’s also strongly associated with performances on the Kōhaku Uta Gassen.
The trick is to sing the first half modestly and then maximize your vocal power in the second half.
What Makes You BeautifulOne Direction
When it comes to artists from the UK who sparked a craze so big they were called the second coming of the Beatles, it’s One Direction.
Unfortunately, they’ve disbanded, but their songs are still popular at karaoke.
Among them, “What Makes You Beautiful,” which many people know, makes you look stylish just by singing it.
Raindrops Keep Falling on my HeadB.J.Thomas
“Raindrops Keep Fallin’ on My Head” is a classic that even those not well-versed in Western music have probably heard at least once.
The song is performed by B.
J.
Thomas and is known in Japan by its Japanese title “Ame ni Nuretemo.” It’s also beloved for cover versions by Keisuke Kuwata and Masayoshi Yamazaki.
If jumping straight into the original feels tough, why not start with a Japanese cover version to master the melody first?
Piano ManBilly Joel
Do you know the music genre called piano rock? As the name suggests, it’s rock that features the piano as the main instrument, but compared to traditional rock it often has quieter songs, making them easier to sing.
It’s nice because, while being easy to sing, it still has those exciting, rock-like moments.
My top recommendation is Billy Joel’s “Piano Man.” Its melody incorporates elements of jazz, so singing it will give off a sophisticated impression.
I Had Some Help (feat. Morgan Wallen)Post Malone
Singer-songwriter Post Malone, known for his originality and inventive lyrics, has earned widespread popularity.
His polarizing style is certainly striking.
This track, “I Had Some Help (feat.
Morgan Wallen),” is a collaboration with Morgan Wallen, a singer-songwriter active in the country music scene.
While it contains elements of country, it leans more toward a soft alternative rock feel, characterized by a narrow vocal range and gentle rises and falls in pitch.
Why Why WhyShawn Mendes
Shawn Mendes is a Canadian singer-songwriter who’s gained popularity with his sweet looks and lyrics drawn from real-life experiences.
While his early work had a pop sensibility, his recent music has a slightly edgier feel.
His 2024 track “Why Why Why” is a standout that became a hit primarily in the English-speaking world.
The pitch movement in the chorus is somewhat distinctive, but the overall range is quite narrow, and it doesn’t feature challenging vocal techniques like runs or hiccups.
Definitely consider adding it to your repertoire.
