Greatest Karaoke Songs
Sing It Like Britney!
Have you ever wanted to sing it bright and perky like a pop diva? Like Britney Spears, Róisín Murphy or Vanessa Hudgens for example. Acquiring an attractive singing voice that others love to listen to is easier than you may think, and a lot of fun too! And who knows, maybe these could be your first steps on the way to musical stardom!
As preparation, learn the lyrics to some songs you would like to sing. You can find these online by googling “song title” + lyrics. Have the CD or MP3 version of the song available, so you can sing along.
Next is the warm up. Make sure the sensitive throat muscles are well lubricated – take sips of water before, during and after practice sessions. Stand in a relaxed position with a straight back, shoulders slightly back and arms hanging loose. Gently and slowly turn your head from side to side in circular motions to relax the neck. If you practice yoga or Alexander technique, you already know about good posture and loosening up.
Slowly go through the well known ‘do re mi fa so la ti do’ scale in your natural voice. This warms up the vocal chords. Exaggerating the lip movements helps warm up the mouth. Then gradually increase the speed with which you go through the scale. Sing the scale up and down.
Now to the sing-along. It’s important to choose songs within your natural voice range. So Britney Spears or Gwen Stefani songs would be fine if you’ve a medium to high singing voice. If you have a lower voice, consider the songs of talented pop divas like Monica Bragato (Moony) or Gabriella Cilmi. Never try for notes that are beyond your current range, it can hurt your delicate throat muscles.
Although arguments rage about which female singer has the greatest vocal range, it’s not really so important. Britney sings to wonderful effect from low to high within a fairly narrow 2 octave range. In classical opera, the typically youthful, attractive and provocative female ’soubrette’ roles also sing within such a range. Even singers with a huge 5 octave range, like Christina Aguilera, will usually sing any one song within 2 octaves or less.
To really develop your singing voice well, do consider hiring a local singing coach for lessons. You’ll get tailor made advice on posture, breathing, phrasing, chest voice and head voice. Plus a professional assessment of your own strengths and weaknesses. There are also software coaching courses available, which can lead you through singing exercises and even provide interactive feedback on your faults.
The magic ingredient to improve your singing voice is – practice, practice, practice! You can sing at home whilst relaxing to music, doing household chores such as cooking or cleaning, and of course in the shower. So it should be possible to fit in 30 minutes a day. But don’t practice excessively or when your throat feels stressed or infected.
Possibly the greatest quality of a successful singer is presentation. Wow the audience visually with a great stage performance and they will perceive you as being an amazing singer! On Youtube you can study the moves, clothes, hair and makeup, dance steps and facial expressions of the singers you consider to be exciting performers. Practice the moves and expressions yourself, so that you can do them without thought when performing. Karaoke clubs are a fun place to practice your singing and performance before an audience, in a relaxed environment.
And finally, although you may start your adventure in singing by imitating your idols, your goal should be to learn to express yourself. Your own voice and personality are unique qualities. These qualities will come across as fresh and original when you have learned to project them in their best light on stage!

The Carpenters – Gold: Greatest Hits $8.69 It’s a measure of the ongoing popularity of Karen and Richard Carpenter that the 2002 release of this video collection in DVD format comes nearly 20 years after Karen’s death. The duo’s heyday mostly preceded the MTV age, so this 15-song, 55-minute anthology is a bit of a visual hodgepodge, composed of still photos, footage from TV shows and concerts, promo clips, fleeting attempts at conceptual v… |
