11 of the easiest songs to sing at karaoke
It's impossible to forget these classic belters!
Last updated 20th Jul 2021
No matter how much we try and deny it, karaoke is everyone's guilty pleasure. But when you walk up onto that stage, you want to make sure you don't get stuck with a song that's way too high, has really fast lyrics and is just impossible to sing.
As venues begin to open up again, it's highly likely that you'll get pulled up onto the stage relatively soon - so we've found some easy-peasy karaoke songs for you to try out!
11 of the best songs for you to sing at karaoke:
1) Queen - 'Don't Stop Me Now'
This is probably the most challenging tune on the list, simply because of Freddie Mercury's falsetto at the beginning. We know you can do it, though - believe in yourself and channel your inner Queen!

2) Rick Astley - 'Never Gonna Give You Up'
Magic Radio fave Rick Astley dropped by the Magic Breakfast Show to give an exclusive performance to celebrate our 100% Christmas Live session. This song is one of the most beloved songs in the entire world, so we couldn't exactly leave it off! The words are easy to remember, and it's not too high or too low! You can count on Rick.

6) ABBA - 'Waterloo'
It wouldn't be a real karaoke night if no-one sang an ABBA song. 'Waterloo' has to be the surest bet here – catchy, fun and a real foot-tapper.
7) Billy Joel - 'Uptown Girl'
Everyone loves 'Uptown Girl'! It reminds us of those old 'NOW' compilation CDs we used to get for Christmas. Bring this out at karaoke and everyone will love you.

8) Robbie Williams - 'Angels'
Even Robbie Williams can't manage to sing 'Angels' live anymore without everyone singing (sometimes shouting) along from the beginning! It's no surprise though... You can't get better than this crowd-pleaser.

9) Mark Ronson - 'Valerie' ft. Amy Winehouse
'Valerie' is a perfect singalong choice! Even if you do get lost, the audience are guaranteed to be singing along with you anyway. No-one will ever notice...
