"What should I sing?" That's probably the most-asked question to every karaoke host. Are you wondering what to sing when its time to karaoke? Here is a list of crowd pleasers and old standards (just about) everyone loves to hear!

Pick a crowd pleaser!

We all like a few songs that are a bit on the obscure side. You know what I mean, that song that you just love but no one has really heard of. Well... Let's don't sing that one...

What you want to do is pick songs that most people will have already heard. The ones we all have sang along with on the radio. If you want to be unique, try something a little retro but something that everyone knows.

Here is a list of "old standards": crowd pleasers everyone knows & loves

• Swet Home Alabama Lynyrd Skynyrd
• Rockstar Nickelback
• Me & Bobby Magee Janis Joplin
• You Oughta Know Alanis Morissette
• Give Me One Reason Tracy Chapman
• Plush Stone Temple Pilots
• Suck My Kiss The Red Hot Chili Peppers
• Lets Get It On Marvin Gaye
• Hotel California The Eagles
• Friends In Low Places Garth Brooks
• Heartbreaker Pat Benatar
• Should I Stay Or Should I Go The Clash
• Wild Thing The Troggs

Still a little nervous? Try a duet!

Here's a short list of popular duet songs that are relatively easy to sing:

• Picture Kid Rock & Sheryl Crow
• I Got You Babe Sonny & Cher
• Love Shack B-52's
• Summer Nights Grease Soundtrack
• Leather & Lace Don Henley & Stevie Nicks
• Don't Go Breaking My Heart Elton John & Kiki Dee

Once again, remember we are not building an atomic bomb here. This is not life and death. Have FUN!

Expand your range...

Once you've sang a few times and have gathered a little confidence, try something a little different... See if you can really sing. You may surprise yourself!

Here's a few for you to try on for size:

• At Last Etta James
• I Just Wanna Make Love To You Etta James or Foghat
• Hey Jude Beatles
• Crocodile Rock Elton John
• Patience Guns & Roses
• Mustang Sally Wilson Pickett
• Sober Tool
• Just A Girl No Doubt
• Possum Kingdom The Toadies
• Wonderful Tonight Eric Clapton
• Hey Man Nice Shot Filter
• Man In The Box Alice In Chains
• Walkin' In Memphis Marc Cohn
• Cult Of Personality Living Colour
• Billy Jean Michael Jackson

You may find that you actually do have a voice! Don't be afraid to try something new but be sure to try that new one out when you are already relaxed and comfortable. Even the most experienced and professional singer can't sing well when they are nervous and choked up.
