Karaoke songs in Western music that are easy to sing even for people who are tone-deaf
A roundup of easy-to-sing Western karaoke songs even for the tone-deaf!
I know many people feel intimidated by Western music.
In Japanese pop, techniques like vocal runs or shouts aren’t used very often.
Especially vocal runs—similar to what we call “kobushi” in Japan—aren’t typically attempted.
Because we grow up with that kind of musical culture, many Japanese people end up lacking a strong sense of rhythm or melodic phrasing.
This time, I’ve picked out songs that even those with a very “purely Japanese” musical sensibility can sing and still sound cool!
Of course, I’ll also highlight specific tips for each song!
We’ll cover some technical points too, so if you want to get better at singing, don’t miss this!

Karaoke Songs in Western Music That Are Easy to Sing Even for the Tone-Deaf (41–50)
Back On 74JUNGLE
Back On 74 by the future-disco unit Jungle features a beautiful falsetto melody.
In this track, the melody line takes center stage—or rather, the vocals feel like part of the background—so being off-pitch isn’t likely to stand out much.
Also, as a vocal practice method, you can first sing the melody in a high falsetto and then sing it in your normal chest voice, making this song convenient for practicing while you sing.
Karaoke Songs in Western Music That Are Easy to Sing Even for the Tone-Deaf (51–60)
TensionKYLIE MINOGUE
Here’s a track from Australian vocalist Kylie Minogue’s 16th album.
The melody doesn’t have very pronounced rises and falls, so it’s a song where it’s harder to tell if someone is off-pitch.
However, if you can bring out a clear rhythm, it sounds really cool.
That’s why it’s recommended for people who may be tone-deaf but are confident in their sense of rhythm.
To achieve Kylie Minogue’s translucent vocal quality, the key is not to force the sound from your throat.
U Can’t Touch ThisMC Hammer
If you listened to Western music in the ’90s, you probably know “U Can’t Touch This.” It’s MC Hammer’s massive hit.
While it’s classified as contemporary R&B, it basically feels like a hip-hop track.
Even though it has lots of hip-hop elements, the flow is classic, so it doesn’t demand a strong sense of rhythm.
And since techniques like vibrato don’t come into play, if you’re confident in your pronunciation, definitely give it a try!
Like A PrayerMadonna
Madonna is a female singer-songwriter who gained worldwide popularity in the 1980s with catchy music that resonates with everyone.
She has released numerous hit songs, but one of the most recommended, easy-to-sing tracks is Like A Prayer.
Although it’s arranged as an upbeat dance-pop number, the vocal line is surprisingly simple and composed.
There aren’t any high parts either, so I think it’s an accessible English song even for those who aren’t confident in their singing.
Uptown FunkMark Ronson feat. Bruno Mars
Wait, isn’t Bruno Mars impossible to sing? If that’s what you’re thinking—don’t worry, you can sing him.
In this song, there aren’t any high notes except for the phrase at the end of the chorus.
Plus, as long as you’ve got a sense of rhythm, anyone can end up sounding good.
The melody falls under the funk genre, and funk doesn’t really use long sustained notes or much vibrato.
So it’s surprisingly easy to sing even if you’re not pitch-perfect.
The English might be tricky, but definitely give it a try!
Makes Me WonderMaroon 5
Maroon 5 is known for working across a wide range of genres, from alternative rock to R&B.
Their song “Makes Me Wonder,” released in 2007, won the Grammy Award for Best Pop Vocal Album.
The track features a melody close to disco music.
Because disco and funk music typically don’t incorporate long sustained notes, they’re recommended for those who aren’t confident in their breath control.
Middle GroundMaroon 5
Maroon 5 is a popular band that effortlessly handles any kind of song, from catchy tracks to full-fledged alternative rock.
They boast a fairly long career, yet they’re still going strong on the front lines.
Their new song, Middle Ground, is a testament to that.
This work isn’t dance music; it’s crafted as an emotional ballad.
Because it contains little of the Black music essence, there aren’t many advanced techniques like vocal riffs and runs.
As a result, it’s a song that even those who struggle with pitch can find approachable.
