[2026] Must-See for Beginners! A Collection of Easy-to-Sing Western Songs for Karaoke (21–30)
DesperadoThe Eagles
The Eagles, a band that gained popularity for their superb musicianship and musicality.
With their original sound centered on country rock and folk rock, they have created numerous classic songs.
Among them, “Desperado” is a track I especially recommend for karaoke beginners.
While it doesn’t require extremely high notes, it does call for a certain amount of vocal power, so the difficulty is slightly on the higher side.
However, since the song has been covered by many artists, it should be relatively easy to find an arrangement that suits your vocal tone.
Top Of The WorldCarpenters
The Carpenters were a pop duo known for their soothing musical style.
They enjoyed worldwide success, but their popularity in Japan was exceptionally high, and even now, after the passing of vocalist Karen Carpenter, their songs continue to be used in Japanese media.
Among their tracks, the one I particularly recommend is Top of the World.
Because the chorus ramps up the energy all at once, it might seem difficult, but once you try singing it, you’ll realize the range is surprisingly no wider than in the verse.
It’s a song many people are familiar with, so beginners should definitely give it a listen.
Leave Me AloneReneé Rapp
After making a name for herself as a Broadway actress, singer-songwriter Lenny Rapp has also flourished as a solo artist.
Unlike her Broadway days, her music now is notably languid, driven by fairly rugged lyrics—quite striking, isn’t it? “Leave Me Alone” is one such work.
While rap takes the lead, the vocal sections are shaped into a slightly loud pop style.
The range is somewhat wide, but since it doesn’t require delicate falsetto pitch control, the overall difficulty is surprisingly low.
For the hook, focus less on sustained, soaring vocals and more on a shouted, elongated delivery.
ClockworkLaufey
Thanks to the recent revival boom, music genres that once dominated the mainstream are back in the spotlight.
“Clockwork” can be considered one of those tracks.
Crafted as an authentic piece of standard jazz, it’s sung within a narrow vocal range, true to the genre.
Unlike modern jazz, the rhythm remains steady, so as long as you focus on delivering it with a solid, bluesy feel, it should be approachable for anyone to sing smoothly.
Consider adding it to your repertoire.
Just The Way You AreBruno Mars
“Just The Way You Are” is also known for winning the Grammy Award in 2011.
It’s a song that expresses straightforward love over a soft rock-like sound.
Written from a male perspective, it lists a woman’s body parts one by one and compares them to beautiful things.
Despite such literary expressions, the grammar is simple—a key point.
As a result, it’s likely easy to understand and memorize the lyrics without resistance.
Locked Out Of HeavenBruno Mars
Rock tunes really get the crowd going, don’t they? So the song I’d like to introduce is “Locked Out Of Heaven.” It has a slightly mature vibe and portrays a passionate romance between a man and a woman.
Its biggest hallmark is that the chorus is made up of words that feel like you’re humming the melody.
That makes it easy to sing even for people who say, “I’m not good at English pronunciation” or “I can’t memorize lyrics.” Plus, the catchy melody makes it easier to stay on pitch, which is another nice point.
Blinding LightsThe Weeknd
The Weeknd is an artist who sparked a global revival boom with his distinctive sound that blends the 1980s trend of synthwave into modern R&B.
“Blinding Lights” is one of his signature songs.
The exceptionally smooth mix of synthwave and R&B gives the vocal lines a refreshing finish.
Because The Weeknd’s voice is high, the bridge (C-melody) might feel a bit difficult to sing, but compared to typical R&B, there’s far less ad-libbing, making it relatively easy to perform.
