Girls Just Want To Have FunCyndi Lauper

Cyndi’s signature song, which was also used in movies.

This song about girls having fun remains popular across generations.

The lyrics are easy to remember and the tempo is slow, so even beginners in English can sing it easily, and the chorus section really gets the crowd going with hand claps.

Die With A SmileLady Gaga, Bruno Mars

Die With A SmileLady Gaga, Bruno Mars

A collaboration released in August 2024 by Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars.

It was chosen as the theme song for the film “Eternal Love” and featured in an Apple commercial, and it has become a worldwide hit, including spending eight consecutive weeks at No.

1 on the Billboard Global 200.

The song is a ballad that portrays the ultimate form of love—wanting to die with a smile beside the one you love if the world were to end.

It features a retro sound reminiscent of 1970s soft rock, yet the vocal lines themselves are straightforward and easy to sing.

The duo’s harmonies in the chorus are striking, and because the tempo is gentle and there aren’t many challenging techniques like complex runs, it’s easier to stay on pitch with composure.

If you pour emotion into it as a duet, it’s sure to grab attention at karaoke.

Baby It’s Cold Outside duet with Michael BubleIdina Menzel

It’s a male–female call-and-response style duet by Idina Menzel and Michael Bublé.

They’re constantly conversing, and it feels like they really click in the chorus.

Since it’s like they’re taking turns talking, it gives off a musical theater vibe.

The song is under three minutes, so if you have someone to sing with, it’s easy to invite them! Because there’s more spoken-style delivery than pure singing, if you perform it as if you’re just talking normally, it can strain your throat.

If you project as though you’re speaking to someone a bit farther away, your vocal folds will vibrate better and it’ll be easier to produce sound.

Imagine calling out to a store clerk who’s a little far away—like “Excuse me!” or “Could you help me, please?” It’s a great pick when you want to create a mature, moody atmosphere.

We Are Never Ever Getting Back TogetherTaylor Swift

Singer-songwriter Taylor Swift has been active for many years.

This piece is a track that premiered in August 2012 ahead of her fourth album, Red, the record on which she made a major shift from country to pop.

In Japan, it was used as the theme song for the reality show Terrace House, so many people may recognize it from that.

The lyrics depict a strong resolve as she declares to an ex who wants to get back together, “We are never ever getting back together!” With a quintessential pop melody, it’s perfect for singing with an explosive energy.

If you deliver the conversational parts with emotion, it’s sure to get the crowd going at karaoke.

Every Year, Every ChristmasLuther Vandross

Luther Vandross – Every Year, Every Christmas
Every Year, Every ChristmasLuther Vandross

Luther Vandross has a soft, rich singing voice.

“Every Year, Every Christmas” is a Christmas song that suits his voice perfectly.

Because it’s a relaxed tempo, even those who aren’t confident in English pronunciation can sing it calmly.

There are plenty of parts to really sing out, and it feels good just to listen—so if you can master it, it’ll feel even better! Vocal power is important, but more than that, focus on resonance when you sing.

In the parts where the chorus swells, use your breath well to project your voice farther, and let it resonate in your chest and head.

Simply placing a hand on your chest helps you feel the resonance and makes it easier to sing.

For high notes, don’t force chest voice; aim for head resonance so you can use a strong falsetto—be especially mindful of your breath here too!

Don’t SpeakNo Doubt

It’s a slightly serious song, yet somehow it feels cute—a mysterious track.

It begins with a touch of sensuality and sorrow, and when you sing the chorus powerfully, it can overwhelm listeners.

It’s a gentle yet charming piece.

This is an exceptionally happy track created by Owl City, a leading figure in electropop, and the globally popular singer Carly Rae Jepsen.

The lyrics paint a picture of an incredibly fun time where you can laugh things off with a cheerful “It’s all good!” no matter what happens.

It’s brimming with a positive energy that says, “Let’s just enjoy the moment.” Released in June 2012, the song appears on both artists’ albums, The Midsummer Station and Kiss, and topped the charts in Canada and New Zealand.

Its brisk melody and the harmonious blend of male and female vocals are a delight, and it’s a sure-fire crowd-pleaser that will light up the room if you duet it at karaoke.
