The Best Songs for Karaoke Night

Posted 1 week ago

These bangers will get everyone singing!

Hellooo lovely readers or future pop stars? I know classes started on Monday for some of us, but are you ready to sing your heart out? Karaoke Night with ResLife is right around the corner - literally this Saturday, 25th January!! And I, your one and only, have the perfect guide to help you rock the stage at this weekend’s event. Whether you’re a skilled karaoke performer or a first-timer with stage fright, choosing the right song makes all the difference.

To help you shine or laugh your way through the night, I’ve put together a list of classic karaoke songs to inspire your performance. Obviously though, no pressure - you’re there to have fun, so no matter how great or out of tune you are, it doesn’t matter. You’re gonna rock anyways! 

Here’s a list of my go-to songs:

These are the ultimate crowd-pleasers that everyone knows and loves (anyone who says otherwise is either a hater or a liar).

1. "24K Magic" - Bruno Mars

2. "Don’t Stop Believin’" - Journey

This is actually giving major Glee flashbacks (iykyk).

3. "Dancing Queen" - ABBA

4. "Shallow" - Lady Gaga & Bradley Cooper

5. "Kiss you" or "What Makes You Beautiful" - One Direction

Guys. PLEASE THIS IS A MUST.

6. "Hello" - Adele

I mean c’mon, we can’t call it a karaoke night without this song.

7. "Barbie Girl" - Aqua 

8. "Wannabe" - Spice Girls

9. "Umbrella" - Rihanna

10. "Poker Face" - Lady Gaga

11. "Last Friday Night" or "California Gurls" - Katy Perry

12. "Toxic" - Britney Spears

13. "Someone Like You" - Adele

14. "All of Me" - John Legend

Really feeling the feels with 13 and 14.

15. "Party in the U.S.A." - Miley Cyrus

YES. YES. YES.

16. "Rewrite The Stars" - James Arthur & Anne-Marie

Go and do that duet with someone!!

17. "Uptown Funk" - Bruno Mars

18. "Set Fire to the Rain" - Adele

I don’t know if you guys noticed but pretty much ANY songs from Bruno Mars or Adele WILL WORK - trust me on this one.

19. "Single ladies" - Beyonce

20. "Call Me Maybe" - Carly Rae Jepsen

There’s really no order when it comes to karaoke. One minute, you could sing the most exciting song, and the next, you’re on the performance of your lifetime singing about your ex. So don’t worry about what the other person sang in front of you. Remember, choose a song you love - passion makes the performance memorable. If you’re nervous, choose a song everyone knows; they will sing it with you:) or consider grabbing a friend for a fun collaboration.

So, my little singing birdies, the most important thing is to enjoy yourself. We can’t wait to see what you’ve got at this weekend’s Karaoke Night! Warm up those vocal cords, take the mic, and make it a night to remember!
