It might be tough to choose which song you want to sing first when you first start singing lessons, particularly if you don’t know your voice type or what style you want to learn. These are decisions that become clearer as you continue through your classes, although they might be difficult to identify at first. Song selection may be based on choosing something you enjoy the melody of or want to sing if you don’t know your real range of vocal ability.
However, the song selection is critical to ensuring that your voice is complimented. There are songs that are simple and can be performed by people of all voice abilities. So, what makes a song singable?
Here are some important things to check for: Simple lyrics, a range of an octave or fewer, a chest or belting voice rather than a falsetto or head voice (which gives a comfortable range), and a rhythm without a lot of surprising accents are your best bets.
Some karaoke songs are simpler to sing than others, so easy karaoke songs might be a good place to start. With its ever-changing keys and melodies, “Bohemian Rhapsody” is perhaps not the best song to start with. It doesn’t qualify as one of the finest karaoke tunes.
As a result, it’s critical to discover the songs that are among the top possibilities for helping you locate the appropriate tune for your voice. Here’s a list of easy songs to get you started singing.
Mamma Mia by Abba
This is the perfect song for a karaoke night. Therese is not much pressure on lead vocals which makes this a great song choice. Another energetic and entertaining song is ABBA’s “Mamma Mia,” which is a terrific simple melody to sing.
It’s a lively, uptempo tune with no key changes, so you can concentrate on your delivery rather than the pitch. It’s also a great mid-range tune for a performer who doesn’t have a large repertoire or doesn’t know what they have.
Malibu by Miley Cyrus
One of the best easy songs and popular songs you can choose. Miley Cyrus wrote the song Malibu, which was released in 2017. Younger Now, Cyrus’ sixth studio album, included the song as a single.
Miley Cyrus and Oren Yoel wrote and produced the song. Pop-rock and soft rock are two different genres of music. The song has a low chest voice tone, making it an excellent choice for vocalists who don’t want to leave their chest voice behind.
It’s fairly nice, and it’s not as “poppy” as some of Miley Cyrus’ previous work. Though the phrases and rhythms might be challenging, be sure to rehearse before going on stage.
Wannabe by The Spice Girls
This is a great choice with easy lyrics for beginners. There are no high notes which makes this fun song the perfect choice. This song is a silly classic. It’s obnoxious, immature, and a lot of fun. Invite your pals to perform with you on stage. It will aid in the concealment of any inadvertent tonalities.
An uptempo song, particularly good for female singers, who want to impress their friends next time in the karaoke bar.
Can’t Help Falling In Love by Elvis Presley
“Can’t Help Falling in Love” is a great option if you’re looking for a slower ballad to start with. This, like the one before, is quite repetitious since there is no actual “chorus” element, thus the verses all sound the same; however, the bridge has a little more variance.
When it comes to the part where it says, “Like the river flows/Surely to the sea/Darling so it goes/Some things are meant to be,” you’ll notice a difference. As a result, the voices have a wider range and may display a little more of a higher pitch reach.
A Thousand Years by Christina Perri
This song is ideal for when you want to perform a love song with a lot of meaning but don’t want to sing too many high notes. Like the Bob Dylan song, this is a fantastic flexible tune that may work for a guy or a woman, making it incredibly gender-neutral.
If you like piano ballads, this is a terrific tune to listen to! If you are a fan of this song, check out songs from John Lennon and Avril Lavigne.
Bubbly by Colbie Caillat
This is maybe the simplest song on the list. Again, the rhythm and melody are fairly repetitious, which contributes to the song’s ease of learning and singing. When sung simply, this is one of those songs that might just be a simple, pleasant melody.
However, as you gain confidence with it, you may explore greater depth in dynamics as well as become more stylized. There’s a little bit of a freestyle scat in the middle of the song that you can be very creative with, so this is a perfect pick for someone looking to expand their singing range.
It’s an excellent “back pocket” tune to have on hand in case you need to sing something quickly. Similar easy songs can be found from artists like Johnny Cash, Leonard Cohen, and Lady Gaga.
I’m Yours by Jason Mraz
A real power ballad. Jason Mraz’s song “I’m Yours” is taken from his third studio album, We Sing. We have a dance party. We are thieves. This is the first single off his 2005 studio album of the same name. The song was first published as a demo on a limited edition EP named Extra Credit.
Song of the Year and Best Male Pop Vocal Performance were both nominated for Grammy Awards for “I’m Yours.” It’s a simple and lively song that both boys and ladies can sing. It might be a good romantic choice for performance since it takes a lighter approach to your presentation.
You may skip the scat since it’s a bit tricky for novices to do. Similar songs come from artists like Joan Jett, David Gilmour, and Natalie Imbruglia.
Everything I Do For You by Bryan Adams
Bryan Adams, a Canadian musician, wrote the song Everything I Do For You. On July 18, 1991, the song was released. On the day of its release, it was included on two albums: the soundtrack album for the 1991 film Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves and Adams’ sixth album, Waking Up the Neighbours.
Bryan Adams, Michael Kamen, and Robert John collaborated on the song Everything I Do. The song was a huge hit, charting at number one in a lot of countries.
The song spent sixteen weeks at number one on the UK Singles Chart in the United Kingdom. It’s also on the list of all-time best-selling singles. Pop-rock is the genre in which the song is classed.
Breakfast at Tiffany’s by Deep Blue Something
Deep Blue Something’s song “Breakfast at Tiffany’s” was released in 1995. It debuted on their album 11th Song before being re-recorded and published on their album Home. Alternative pop or pop-rock are two terms that might be used to describe the genre. This was the band’s most successful hit, reaching number five on the Billboard Hot 100 in the United States.
Outside of the US, “Breakfast at Tiffany’s” topped the UK Singles Chart and reached the top 10 in Australia’s charts. Later songs by the band didn’t live up to the popularity of this one, and the band was labeled a “one-hit-wonder.” The chorus is entertaining if you sing it with some vigor, and the song is a terrific tune to sing for guys since it is within an easy range.
The bridge’s first note might be a little tough, so give it a couple of listens before trying or playing it.
Closing Time by Semisonic
This is a great one. When everyone is sick of hearing others sing and you don’t care, this is the song to sing.
When the bartender announces the last call for the third time and your buddies who are waiting on you for a ride are ready to depart, sing Closing Time. Similar songs are Sweet Caroline, Skinny Love, and Folsom Prison Blues by Johnny Cash.
