Amy Winehouse – Love Is A Losing Game

This is an achingly poignant masterpiece by Amy Winehouse, the singer from England.

True to its title, “Love Is a Losing Game,” it sings of the futility of a love you know will never be rewarded, no matter how hard you try.

Even after giving everything, you’re left behind in the end, with a crushing sense of defeat and helplessness.

Anyone who’s worn themselves down in a barren, one-sided love will feel the sting of this hopeless situation all too well.

Her voice—deep and tinged with resignation—doesn’t console so much as it quietly stays beside the pain.

It’s a song that seeps into your heart on nights when you’re burdened with sorrow that has nowhere to go.

Britney Spears – …Baby One More Time (Official Video)

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.
