Top Karaoke Songs for Men
Looking for a track to sing at the next karaoke night? Here are some of the great karaoke songs for men. Most of them aren't too hard to sing. And all of them are crowd pleasing karaoke songs.
When you are looking for the right song, remember that you should pick something that naturally fits your voice. Some of these songs are for low bass voices and some are for tenors, so choose your tune according to your own range! Remember, many KJs have the karaoke DJ equipment that will let them cheat a song up or down in key to match your voice. Almost all the VocoPro mixers can do that.
I tried to pick a diverse set - you'll see country, heavy metal, rock, pop, etc. Hopefully you'll find your new signature karaoke song here on my list.
Best Karaoke Songs For Men:
1. "Born in the USA" - Bruce Springsteen
2. "Livin' on a Prayer" - Bon Jovi
3. "Sweet Home Alabama" - Lynyrd Skynyrd
4. "Friends in Low Places" - Garth Brooks
5. "Pretty Woman" - Roy Orbison
6. "Bad to the Bone" - George Thorogood
7. "Jailhouse Rock" - Elvis Presley
8. "More Than Words" - Extreme

10. "Keep On Loving You" - REO Speedwagon
11. "I Wear My Sunglasses at Night" - Corey Hart
12. "You Were Always On My Mind" - Willie Nelson
13. "Open Arms" - Journey

Now you are wondering...why only seventeen? Why not either 15 or 20? Well, I wanted to make a list of ten. And I started with a list of thirty two. Somehow I ended up with seventeen. Don't ask me why. Blogging isn't an exact science.

Avoid These 10 Karaoke Songs
Track choice may be the most difficult aspect of karaoke night. To start, you must know what you can and can’t execute from a vocal perspective. The wonders of karaoke DJ equipment include the ability to adjust a track to the performer’s comfort zone and add fancy effects. VocoPro creates magic! Still, choosing a song in the constraints of your voice is the intelligent strategy.
And besides the question of what you can comfortably sing, you might consider how the track you pick fits with the audience’s taste and with the energy of the evening. Remember that lots of karaoke shows have a one time per night rule for songs, you need to be careful that you aren’t snatching another performer’s signature track or you aren’t putting a slip in for some song that has previously been sung.
So many hang ups about selecting the right song could make you wonder: Is there such a thing as karaoke song loser? Tracks that have redundant lyrics are usually horrible, since many singers struggle to make the identical words sound interesting over and over. Tracks with embarrassingly sexual lyrics make many audiences uncomfortable. Picking a tune with extended instrumental solos or long instrumental breaks is a excellent way to leave yourself zip to do but hold a microphone and look awkward on stage. Tongue turning, high speed lyrics often result in the singer peering at the monitor and trying to catch up – that’s no fun. Because of the intricate rhythms, rap is generally a show killer as rap tunes have very few tonal guideposts to keep you on (or off!) the beat.
Here follows a rundown of 10 songs – the karaoke show killers. Don’t (I’m begging you) request them. There are a couple cool tunes on the list. And there are a couple tunes on the list that are musical abortions. Regardless, many of them are too hard to perform. It is time to give these tunes a karaoke gravestone. Brace yourself for groans, wincing, and eye rolling from the karaoke crowd when you request one of these.
The 10 Karaoke Song Duds:
1. Queen – “Bohemian Rhapsody”
2. ”I Touch Myself” by the Divinyls
3. Bonnie Tyler’s ”Total Eclipse of the Heart”
4. Aqua’s “Barbie Girl”
5. Meatloaf – “Paradise by the Dashboard Light”
6. ”I Will Always Love You” by Whitney Houston
7. Sir Mix-A-Lot – “Baby Got Back”
8. Meatloaf – “Anything for Love”
9. ”I Got You Babe” by Sonny and Cher
10. Michael Jackson – “Beat It”
Expect that if you choose one of the songs we will politely golf clap your singing when it is (thankfully) ended. When we see the track title, we may be hoping you fall and bludgeon yourself into a coma before you get to the stage. And no need to enhance with booze your singing, since your state of inebriation won’t make the song less painful for the audience!
That’s my opinion and I’m holding to it. But truth be told, choosing one of these songs is likely to be unpleasant for you and for your audience. You can introduce something a little fresher to the machine karaoke limelight. If you can surprise the audience with a fresh track, you may have an easier time collecting real accolades. For karaoke regulars whom I’ve enraged by the naming of their signature song on my karaoke show killer countdown, take those lemons and make lemonade! There are many great karaoke songs to sing!
