"What should I sing?" That's probably the most-asked question to every karaoke host. Are you wondering what to sing when its time to karaoke? Here is a list of crowd pleasers and old standards (just about) everyone loves to hear!
Pick a crowd pleaser!
We all like a few songs that are a bit on the obscure side. You know what I mean, that song that you just love but no one has really heard of. Well... Let's don't sing that one...
What you want to do is pick songs that most people will have already heard. The ones we all have sang along with on the radio. If you want to be unique, try something a little retro but something that everyone knows.
Here is a list of "old standards":
crowd pleasers everyone knows & loves
- Swet Home Alabama Lynyrd Skynyrd
- Rockstar Nickelback
- Me & Bobby Magee Janis Joplin
- You Oughta Know Alanis Morissette
- Give Me One Reason Tracy Chapman
- Plush Stone Temple Pilots
- Suck My Kiss The Red Hot Chili Peppers
- Lets Get It On Marvin Gaye
- Hotel California The Eagles
- Friends In Low Places Garth Brooks
- Heartbreaker Pat Benatar
- Should I Stay Or Should I Go The Clash

Expand your range...
Once you've sang a few times and have gathered a little confidence, try something a little different... See if you can really sing. You may surprise yourself!Here's a few for you to try on for size:
- At Last Etta James

You may find that you actually do have a voice! Don't be afraid to try something new but be sure to try that new one out when you are already relaxed and comfortable. Even the most experienced and professional singer can't sing well when they are nervous and choked up
