If you’re a guy looking for a way not to embarrass himself and still attend a karaoke party, here are 15 easiest karaoke songs for guys. You’ll never have to turn down to an invitation to a karaoke party ever again!
Karaoke parties are a blast. Mostly because they include lots of alcohol, and most importantly, lots of girls. Think about it. Would you really like be thinking about going to sing along party if there are only guys present? Didn’t think so. Even though karaoke parties are fun and can be hilarious, we both know you wouldn’t like to end up like a laughing stock. Or even worse: to freeze in the middle of the stage because even you can’t find the excuse for the voice coming out of your mouth. Leaving your audience speechless isn’t quite what you had in mind. You’ve come here looking for easy karaoke songs for beginners, and you know better than to fool yourself you’re the next Elvis Presley. Your vocal cords are just not meant for certain songs. Or most of them. That’s why we’ll give you a list of best karaoke songs for men who don’t know how to sing properly.

It’s no easy task stepping on the stage, grabbing a mike and maintaining your reputation if you try singing something far beyond your vocal range. That’s why in our search we looked for best karaoke songs if you can’t sing and chose the ones most appropriate for male voices. Ask Men, Groupon, Melodyful, and Bustle had excellent suggestions for bad male singers. However, we decided to narrow the list more by including our criteria. First of all, a song mustn’t be over 4:45 minutes long. Standing on the stage for almost five minutes is real torture. Secondly, if the song required rapping or it was too fast to pronounce the words properly, we crossed it out. No one will be impressed by your mumbling and anxiety to catch up with the lyrics on screen. Too slow songs such as Say it Ain’t So aren’t here because they are too unexciting. Also, even though Don’t Stop Believing by the Journey is considered as one of the easiest by many, all the DJs agree it can actually backfire on you. Think about it. Are you really able to produce such high notes without someone kicking you in the nuts? On the other hand, the deejay community said they were fed up with a certain song, but we took it as a hint that guys prefer singing it because it’s super easy. Finally, AC/DC songs didn’t make our cut. We firmly believe Brian Johnson has a voice which is really hard to successfully impersonate (sing powerfully and not sound like you’re in pain or you’ve some creature from a horror movie).
If you have a girlfriend with similar singing (dis)abilities, she could check out some best female karaoke songs on our list of 11 best karaoke songs for people who can’t sing. But if she’s a good singer really wishes to show off her talent, then she should probably avoid something from the list of 17 most requested karaoke songs of all time. People get fed with certain tunes, and bored looks can affect the performance.
By the way, there are no best karaoke duets on the list, but your mates can join in any time and sing with you. You’ll find lots of popular tunes that are really cool for singing as a group, thus hiding your voice among the many. Also, there are no best karaoke songs from 2017. When it comes to easy songs to sing, 2016 and 2017 aren’t the greatest years.
Without further ado, here are 15 easiest karaoke songs for guys! We solemnly promise your reputation won’t be harmed by performing any of the following songs. There’s rock, pop, and country. In no particular order, because you know which genre suits you best. Click on the embedded YouTube videos and stay cool.
