Best Karaoke Songs for Women: 53 Picks by Voice Type

Karaoke really isn't that serious. There aren’t any judges, nobody’s keeping score. But if you want to sound good when the mic gets passed your way, it helps to pick a song that works for your voice.

I've come up with a list of the 53 best karaoke songs for women that you can match to your voice: alto, soprano, and talk-sing.

To make it more helpful, I gave each of them a difficulty rating plus the one tricky part I'd watch for if I were you. Want more to choose from? Check out 48 more karaoke songs across every mood and difficulty. Got the guys joining in too? I've sorted karaoke songs for men the same way, so you can build a set list together.

Whether you’re running karaoke from home as part of your game night or just want to level up your skills, I hope you find a few songs in this list that work for you.

Find your voice type first

You don't need voice training or a professional to help you identify which category your voice falls into. Try singing along with a chorus in the original key of a song. If the high notes start to feel way too uncomfortable, start with the alto picks below.

If you'd rather skip note-chasing altogether, the talk-sing list keeps you in a narrow, comfortable range.

How to decide:

• Alto: Your voice sounds strongest in the lower and middle range. You can handle soul, country, and moody pop without reaching for notes that aren't there.
• Soprano: You reach higher hooks with room to spare and can hold a big belted chorus.
• Talk-sing: You have a great sense of timing and rhythm, and would rather focus on that instead of holding long notes.

FAQs

What are the easiest karaoke songs for women?

The easiest karaoke songs for women stay in a narrow range and lean on a familiar hook. "Jolene," "Torn," and "Bubbly" sit low and steady, while talk-sing tracks like "No Scrubs" and "7 Rings" let you ride the beat instead of holding long notes.

Do I have to sing in the original key?
