This anthem of the 80s is a great song to sing during a party, and your girlfriends will also want to join in.

Torn by Natalie Imbruglia

Torn is a popular karaoke song, and its popularity has not diminished over the years. It is definitely one of the best picks for women’s karaoke nights or for those who want to indulge in some bathroom jamming sessions.

The best part about Torn, in addition to its meaningful lyrics, is its catchy tune and chorus. All your girlfriends will love singing along with you. It is one of those great songs where avid singers can showcase their wide range of vocal abilities.

Whitney Houston’s I’m Every Woman is a wonderful party-time karaoke favorite, and the link above is especially easy to sing along to. If you have a group of ladies who grew up in the 80s and 90s, this is a must-add song to your karaoke song list for a women’s shindig.

 

Unstoppable by Sia

This powerful and emotional song is perfect for karaoke. Its uplifting, catchy tune and foot-tapping chorus will surely get your friends singing along!

The best part about Unstoppable is its message. It is an empowering song written specifically for women. There are a few high notes in the song, but nothing that most singers won’t be able to handle. You will surely get a round of applause for this one!

 

Lady Marmalade by Christina Aguilera, Lil’ Kim, Pink, Mya

Lady Marmalade is an upbeat number that has many parts that you can divide between friends for your karaoke session. Note that some parts of this catchy, foot-tapping song are sung in very high notes, so it may not be the best choice for beginners. That said, you can just lower the notes and no one will care.

 

Turn Your Face Towards The Sun by Rihanna

This is one of those great beginner karaoke songs that are not only great for party karaoke but also if you have based the event on a female-empowerment theme. It is sure to give your audience goosebumps!

By the end of the song, your listeners will be tapping their feet and clapping along. Turn Your Face has an uplifting tune and its lyrics are also meaningful.

 

Blank Space by Taylor Swift

This popular and catchy song will go down well with Swifties. If you have any in your group, this is the karaoke song to choose. But even if there are no super fans in your group, it’s still a great song to sing.

Blank Space has a simple enough melody, and its chorus is easy to sing along to. The fun and playful lyrics are also suitable for all ages. The vocal range of Blank Space is not too hard to achieve, which is a big reason it is one of the best karaoke songs for the fairer sex.

If you like Taylor Swift, we have several articles analyzing the lyrics to her songs. You can find one on the Afterglow lyrics meaning here, and another on the All Too Well meaning here.

 

When We Were Young by Adele

This emotional song will take you and your friends down memory lane. However, it isn’t a song for beginners and needs a strong singer who can emulate Adele’s powerful vocal range.

When We Were Young has a nostalgic and reflective tone, which may take some practice to master. But it is certainly a great choice if you want to add some emotional songs to your repertoire.

 

Titanium by David Guetta ft. Sia

Again, this is not a song for beginners. The chorus “I am Ti-Ta-Ni-Um” is sung in high notes and will need some practice. Therefore, most newbies might find their voices cracking when they sing those lines.

Having said that, Titanium is a great, empowering, and emotional song, especially for ladies. No wonder it is also one of the most popular choices in choir songs.

 

Love Me Like You Do by Ellie Goulding

Since most women are fans of Fifty Shades of Grey, they are likely to love Ellie Goulding’s Love Me Like You Do. And since most ladies love Love Me Like You Do, they are sure to join in the singing.

Its music is awesome, and your audience will be left feeling good afterward. The best part is that it is an easy-to-sing song, so beginners can enjoy it as well.

 

Man! I Feel Like A Woman by Shania Twain

There are so many reasons women love Shania’s Man! I Feel Like a Woman for their karaoke nights. It is fast paced and wonderful to dance to.

Its lyrics also celebrate the joy and freedom of being a woman and are sure to encourage women to let their hair down and have a good time. If you’re looking for a catchy melody with memorable lyrics, go ahead and sing this song at your next karaoke session.

 

Live To Tell by Madonna

Madonna has given us so many beautiful hits, and Live to Tell is one of the best. This timeless classic from the movie At Close Range is sure to be a hit with all women at your karaoke event.

However, it does have lower notes and might not be the easiest to pull off for some singers. Knowing when to pause is also crucial for this great song. Mistakes in timing will be noticeable. This is a song to practice singing at home, before you debut it in public.

 

Chasing Cars by Snow Patrol

The key to getting this gorgeous, nostalgic song is the timing, so you can coordinate with its brilliant guitar. Chasing Cars is a simple yet beautiful song, and most girls (and guys) love singing along to it.

The version in the link given above has great background vocals that will support you as you sing. It guides you perfectly, so you know exactly how long the pauses are.

Caution: don’t beat yourself up too much if you (or someone from your audience) burst into tears mid-way. It happens to the best of us while singing along to this one. This article analyzes the lyrics to Chasing Cars, if you are curious what they mean.

 

Dancing Queen by ABBA

No list of the best karaoke songs for women is complete without ABBA’s Dancing Queen. It has an upbeat melody and is perfect for a group of women to sing to. You will certainly feel like dancing to it and it will surely get everyone in the audience to join in singing and dancing along as well.

 

Always Remember Us This Way by Lady Gaga

Lady Gaga’s Always Remember Us This Way has some fairly high notes in its chorus, but it is a beautiful song to sing along to. Lady Gaga performed it in A minor with a slow tempo of 65 beats per minute.

But don’t worry. Even novice singers will find the backing track in the above link quite comfortable to sing to. I know, because I’ve tried it with many of my students!

 

What’s Up by 4 Non-Blondes

What’s Up is an iconic song from the 1990s and has been a top choice for karaoke and social events ever since. Its chorus has the lyrics What’s Going On repeated over and over. Audiences love singing along, especially after a few drinks.

Personally, I also especially love the guitar at the beginning. Of course, there are some very high notes in What’s Up that you can only perfect by really belting them out! Some prior practice will help you master it, but don’t feel bad if you don’t quite get up to the right notes. No one will care.

 

Need You Now by Lady Antebellum

Lady Antebellum’s Need You Now has male and female parts, but the link given above has just the female part. This is a great choice if you are practicing for a duet.

The song is beautiful and fairly easy for beginners. There are a few high notes, but nothing that you won’t be able to manage with a little practice. It is also a wonderful song to get your audience to sing along to.

 

Beautiful by Christina Aguilera

If you are shy, but love singing and need to give your confidence a boost, no other song can cut it as well as Christina Aguilera’s Beautiful.

The meaningful and soulful song has a powerful message, and its moderate tempo is relatively easy to achieve for most bathroom and karaoke bar singers. It is also a great track to practice with, if you are auditioning somewhere.

 

Killing Me Softly by Fugees

Another fantastic choice for karaoke stars is this acoustic version of Fugee’s Killing Me Softly. It will make you fall in love with this masterpiece all over again. The guitar strumming in the background is just perfect and it will make you want to go back and listen to the full version of the song.

If you choose to perform this for a karaoke event, the song’s soulful melody is sure to be a hit with ladies of all ages. And for those somewhat more advanced singers, the bridge section is perfect for showing off your vocal range and control.
