P!nk – So What (Official Video)

This is a cheer song by the artist Pink, whose straightforward vocal approach and overwhelming sense of sound create a rocking, glamorous style.

The mature lyrics make it a great choice for karaoke and stir up a powerful vibe that resonates with women in their 30s.

A Thousand MilesVanessa Carlton82rank/position

Vanessa Carlton – A Thousand Miles

It’s a 2002 hit by American singer-songwriter Vanessa Carlton, and I don’t really know many of her other songs.

It’s an uptempo track you can play solo on piano, with a distinctive piano intro and a pleasant, easy-to-listen-to feel.

Don’t Worry Be HappyBobby McFerrin83rank/position

Bobby McFerrin – Don’t Worry Be Happy (Official Music Video)

Included on the 1988 album “Simple Pleasures.” Featured as an insert song in the film “Cocktail,” released the same year.

Born in 1950, a musician from New York State.

This number beautifully blends his a cappella vocals with choral harmonies over a mid-tempo, gently flowing doo-wop rhythm.

Love YourselfJustin Bieber84rank/position

Justin Bieber – Love Yourself (Lyrics)

I want to show off a cool song at karaoke.

It might seem a bit challenging, but how about trying a Justin Bieber track? If you’re dealing with a breakup, take a cool approach toward the girlfriend who’s no longer around.

I recommend singing while understanding the lyrics.

Highway to HellAC/DC85rank/position

AC/DC – Highway to Hell (Official Video)

If you’re listening while driving, this is the one.

It also made waves in 2016 when opera singer Cristina Ramos tore off her dress and started singing on a Spanish talent show.

It’s the perfect track for powering through your 40th birthday.
