Best Karaoke Songs to Scream Your Heart Out To

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Pace chapter.

The number one rule of karaoke night is: always come prepared! Would you believe me if I told you I have a list of karaoke songs in my notes app ready to go at all times? You never know when you’re going to find a microphone in your hand and a crowd of people begging you for an encore. Here are some of the non-negotiables on the list that you can guarantee will be performed by yours truly. 

“Bring Me To Life” by Evanescence 

○ I didn’t even bother saving the best for last 

○ The power this song makes you feel in your soul is unmatched 

○ Love a good spooky song in the mix 

○ Can be done with friends but NOT a duet–friends are only allowed to be your backup singers for this one, sorry! 

Drivers License” by Olivia Rodrigo 

○ Sad girl cry moment 

○ Great time to pour out your emotions 

○ Hurts your heart but in the best way 

○ We love Olivia in this house 

The Wizard and I” from Wicked 

○ Broadway power hour is an absolute must 

○ Switches things up by not doing the expected Defying Gravity 

○ Time to be the star you’ve always wanted to be 

○ If you’re anything like me, you can do the Ariana Grande version (sorry to any hearts I just broke by saying that) 

This Is Me” by Demi Lovato and Joe Jonas 

○ We always need a powerful Disney feature 

○ Duet moment is necessary 

○ Just like Mitchie says in the song, “no more hiding who I want to be.” Time to break out of your shell and belt it out! 

○ Camp Rock has always been one of my favorite movies. Plus, I’ve always been a Joe girl, so I was very jealous of Demi 

“My Heart Will Go On” by CĂ©line Dion 

○ NOT to be done as a solo 

○ Perfect way to end the night 

○ Scream this one as loudly as you can 

○ Tears encouraged
