All I Want for Christmas Is YouMerry Christmas25rank/position

Mariah Carey – All I Want For Christmas Is You (Official Video)

Mariah Carey’s signature song, “All I Want for Christmas Is You.” Although this piece is often cited as a difficult song, it’s not without singable elements.

The tricky part is mainly the slow-tempo opening; once the beat kicks in and the tempo picks up, the kind of wide-interval vocal runs heard in the intro appear less frequently.

Even so, the overall difficulty remains on the higher side, but given its top-tier recognition and popularity, it’s well worth the challenge.

We Are Never Ever Getting Back TogetherTaylor Swift26rank/position

Taylor Swift – We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together

A Taylor Swift song that expresses a strong refusal to get back together with an ex, set to a bubbly, poppy melody.

The lyrics, laced with irony and sarcasm, stand out against the upbeat, bright vibe.

Released in August 2012, it was included on her fourth album, Red.

In Japan, it was also used as the opening theme for Fuji TV’s popular show Terrace House.

Its singable melody and relatable lyrics are a big draw.

It’s the perfect track for anyone who’s just been through a breakup or is struggling with an ex.

Sing it at karaoke and you’ll definitely feel refreshed!

Love StoryTaylor Swift27rank/position

Taylor Swift – Love Story

Taylor Swift is a female singer-songwriter who has been active at the forefront of the global music scene for many years.

While she now incorporates a variety of genres, including synth-pop, back when she released Love Story, her music was primarily rooted in mainstream country.

True to country music, this song features a very singable vocal line.

There are hardly any advanced techniques like falls or vocal runs, and the range is relatively narrow for a female song (mid2A to hiB), so as long as you handle English linking properly, it should be easy to aim for a high score at karaoke.

Try EverythingShakira28rank/position

Shakira – Try Everything (Official Video)

Just like with R&B and soul, I think many people feel a bit uncomfortable with reggaeton and Latin music.

For those people, I recommend Try Everything.

It’s sung by Shakira, who is from Colombia, but actually, she doesn’t have a powerful voice.

Maybe because of that vocal quality, many of her songs don’t rely on shouting even in the chorus.

This song is like that, and so is the famous Waka Waka.

You do need a bit of vibrato technique, but even if you can’t hit very high notes, you can sing it without any problem.
