What is the best song to sing for a "first timer" doing karaoke?

Question

I tried Whitesnake's "Here I Go Again" thinking that would be easy for a female (no high notes), but forgot that many hair bands from the 80's loved high notes. Need suggestions on what to try the next time (if there is a next time).

Answer 1

The best karaoke song for a beginner is one that is easy to sing without a lot of voice acrobatics required, and yet one which is both familiar and entertaining for the audience to listen to. Try one of these:

Margaritaville
Brown eyed girl
At this moment
Hurts so Good
Desperado

There ya go. Five for the price of one. And this friendly *HINT* from a karaoke all-star...a little liquid courage never hurts when youre nervous.

Good luck and happy singin.
Seacrest out.

Answer 2

Jingle Bells!

Answer 3

Pick something from the nineties sung by a pop star, like Britney Spears oe Christina Aguilera. No one can take that seriously, so even if you suck, everyone will think you're doing it on purpose.

Answer 4

Baby Got Back

Answer 5

Try "The Wind Beneath My Wings" by Bette Midler.
It starts low and then gets only a little higher toward the end.
Good luck and have fun.

Answer 6

Anything from a Disney movie is usually good.. like "Reflection" from Mulan. "A Dream is a Wish" Cinderella.. "Paint with all the colors of the Wind" Pocahontas.. things like this

Answer 7

Margaritaville is by far the easiest. Good luck. You will be soon hacking every song known to man to total pieces!

Answer 8

Shut de do it has only 5 notes total in it and it is totally sweet

Answer 9

I find that it doesn't really matter. Everyone usually sucks at Karaoke. Just get really drunk and pick whatever song you feel necessary to have fun.
