Western Music: Christmas Songs You'll Want to Sing at Karaoke (1–10)
This ChristmasDonny Hathaway
Released as a single in 1970, this song differs a bit from traditional Christmas tunes, packing in “soul” and “R&B” elements.
It’s still popular today and is often sung at karaoke.
When you sing This Christmas, be mindful of the pauses and the groove.
In addition to bass and drums, there’s also a brass section, so those instruments are very important.
If you rely only on listening, your vocal entries may come in slightly late, so try moving your body back and forth and bring your voice in just a touch earlier.
That way, you should come in cleanly without lagging behind the band.
When singing at karaoke, getting everyone to clap along will help you lock into the feel and make it more fun.
Just be careful not to drift off the beat.
We Wish You A Merry ChristmasEnya
Since it’s a traditional piece well known as a choral work, many of you have probably heard it before.
This time, because Enya has covered it and shaped it with a sense of “transparency, healing, and fantasy,” the key points of how to sing it are completely different from a standard choral version.
Enya’s charm lies in her breathy whisper voice.
Unlike the sparkling style of typical choral pieces, her understated delivery and the way she handles word endings are especially distinctive.
The tempo is relaxed, so you can take a breath for each phrase, and it may be good to sing carefully while keeping a consistent head resonance.
For the phrase endings, rather than adding vibrato, letting the sound fade away smoothly will give it that whisper-voice quality—I highly recommend it.
Christmas Time Is HereSURFACE
Surface is an R&B band that was active in the 1980s, during the dawn of R&B.
They excelled particularly at R&B ballads, and they left behind a classic in the Christmas category as well.
That song is “Christmas Time Is Here.” While R&B can sometimes feel intimidating, this track has a very relaxed tempo, and unlike contemporary R&B, it doesn’t feature runs that require intricate pitch changes.
So if you’re familiar with Black music, it’s easy to sing.
[Western Music] Christmas Songs That Make You Want to Sing at Karaoke (11–20)
buy me presentsSabrina Carpenter
A humor-filled pop song perfect for the Christmas season.
The lyrics, brimming with Sabrina Carpenter’s playful spirit, are memorable and cleverly weave expressions of love for a partner with festive elements.
It’s a warm track that emphasizes the importance of genuine affection and thoughtfulness over material gifts.
Included on the holiday EP “fruitcake,” released in November 2023, it’s slated to be performed in a Netflix holiday special in December 2024.
A great pick for anyone looking to liven up a karaoke session or expand their repertoire of Christmas songs.
Santa Tell MeAriana Grande
A song perfect for the Christmas season has arrived.
Sung by Ariana Grande, it skillfully captures both the anxieties and hopes of romance.
With the fresh concept of asking Santa Claus about a new lover’s feelings, it conveys the cautiousness born from past heartbreak while still wishing for new love.
Released in November 2014, it gains popularity every Christmas season and has become a modern holiday staple.
It’s easy to sing at karaoke and recommended even for beginners to Western music.
It’s a track for those in love, of course, but also for anyone who wants to enjoy Christmas.
All Alone On ChristmasDarlene Love
If you want to get hyped at karaoke, I recommend “All Alone on Christmas.” This song is by Darlene Love, who is known worldwide as a backup singer.
A backup singer is essentially someone who does chorus vocals at concerts and live shows, and since that’s her profession, she has exceptional vocal ability.
That said, it’s not a difficult piece to sing.
While it has strong elements of Black music, it’s arranged in a relatively easy-to-sing style.
Santa BabyEartha Kitt
This work is brimming with a sexy, mischievous charm.
Arthur Kit’s singing—delivered as if sweetly whispering—is striking, and the playful plea to Santa for expensive gifts is portrayed with humor.
Released in 1953, it drew attention at the time for its bold lyrics and became a huge hit during the Christmas season.
Featuring a relaxed rhythm with jazz elements and clear, easy-to-understand English lyrics, it’s also great for karaoke.
Why not include it in a fun Christmas moment with your loved one?
