You pull people in, and the chorus really gives you a chance to shine.
7. Someone Like You – Adele (2011)
A ballad that’s as moving as it is powerful. Adele’s storytelling makes this song resonate with almost anyone who’s loved and lost. It’s slower than some of her other hits, which gives you space to focus on emotion and connection with the crowd. Don’t worry about perfect vocals; sincerity goes a long way with this one.
6. I Wanna Dance with Somebody – Whitney Houston (1987)
If karaoke had a national anthem, this might be it. Whitney’s joyful vocals make the song soar, and the chorus is pure happiness. It’s one of those tracks where the audience doesn’t just sing along, they get up and dance. No matter how your night’s been going, this song brings the party to life.
5. Bad Romance – Lady Gaga (2009)
Dramatic, edgy, and completely unforgettable. “Bad Romance” is made for karaoke because it’s larger-than-life, with quirky hooks and a chorus that’s impossible to ignore. If you’ve warmed up with “Million Reasons,” this is where you let loose and bring out your inner Gaga. Bonus points if you throw in some over-the-top moves while you sing.
4. Umbrella – Rihanna, JAY-Z (2007)
One of Rihanna’s most beloved hits and a surefire karaoke favorite. The “ella, ella, eh, eh” chorus is irresistible and guarantees audience participation. It’s smooth, cool, and fun to perform without being too demanding vocally. Whether you keep it casual or give it the whole Rihanna attitude, this one always lands.
3. drivers license – Olivia Rodrigo (2021)
A modern karaoke classic. The song captures heartbreak and longing in a way that feels instantly relatable, even if you’ve never driven a car. The verses draw the room in, and when the chorus hits, it’s cathartic to sing as loud as you can. It’s a great pick if you want to connect emotionally and have everyone hanging on every word.
2. Shallow – Lady Gaga, Bradley Cooper (2018)
Few karaoke songs build as beautifully as this one. The gentle opening lines set the stage, but by the time you hit the soaring chorus, you’ll have chills, and so will the crowd. It works as a duet or solo, and it’s one of those tracks that feels like a complete performance rather than just a song. Perfect for stealing the spotlight.
1. Promiscuous – Nelly Furtado, Timbaland (2006)
Nothing else could be our top choice. This duet is the perfect way to end a karaoke night, as it is lively, playful, and irreverent. With a partner, the back-and-forth lyrics are a lot of fun, but if you play both parts yourself, it’s equally entertaining. “Promiscuous,” which is lighthearted and sure to make you giggle, makes sure you end the evening feeling good. This song was one of the biggest hits in the Billboard charts in the 2000s for good reason.
