The ease of singing has a lot to so with the song you choose. It must lie within a certain range and style, for you to shine through with your performance.
As these songs are meant for ease and comfort more than precision and flair, I’ve decided to give you all the songs I found easy, classified by gender. Female voices are usually higher than males ones, and therefore the classification will also vary accordingly. To find out the songs that are easy for you, all you have to do is judge the range within which you normally speak. To find it out, keep your emotions neutral and just speak as if you’re dictating a grocery list. This level is where your comfort lies, and it’s where your song lies as well.
Most Popular Songs That are Easy to Pick Up
For Girls
Truly Madly Deeply
by
Savage Garden
It’s easier for girls than most guys. But any guy with a higher-pitched voice can master this one.
I’m Yours
by
Jason Mraz
Another song that’s sung by a guy. The pitch is such that girls can pick it up far easier than most males.
Chasing Pavements
by
Adele
This song is relatively tougher than the others on the list, but it’s a great one to learn and practice.
You Belong With Me
by
Taylor Swift
With the kind of fame Taylor Swift has been gaining lately, her songs are a common choice for most girls.
Dancing Queen
by
ABBA
An excellent song for a duet with another girl. Simple tune and memorable lyrics.
You’re beautiful
by
James Blunt
I’ve found Blunt’s voice too high for most guys, but relatively easy for the female singers.
Bubbly
by
Colbie Caillat
A great example of how simple compositions often lead to easy and fun vocals.
Thank You
by
Dido
She has a lovely voice that’s not too high and not too low, nicely balanced, just like her songs.
Love Song
by
Sara Bareilles
I chose this song because of its steady pace. It provides a doable challenge to beginners and the tune carries the vocals just right.
The Scientist
by
Coldplay
Picking up on the high-pitch-male-voice rule, this is another great song that a girl could easily sing.
For Guys
Can’t Help Falling in Love
by
Elvis Presley
Very relaxed and smooth song. It’s quite alright if you can’t get Elvis’ vibrato, it sounds great if it’s in pitch.
Good Riddance
by
Green Day
The song is for the guys with a medium to high pitch. I wouldn’t really suggest it to baritones or bass voices.
Rockstar
by
Nickelback
Not everyone can get the raspy voice as Chad Kroeger, but it’s definitely not needed. Attitude is more important than key and pitch here.
All I Want is You
by
U2
It always pays to know a good U2 song, and this one is one of the easier ones. Try it out to see if you can sing it without straining too much.
Girl All the Bad Guys Want
by
Bowling for Soup
Another high-pitch pop song that’s really easy to pick up.
Your Body is a Wonderland
by
John Mayer
Real smooth number that doesn’t wander too much in vocal range.
Wish You Were Here
by
Pink Floyd
One of the reasons why it’s so popular is because it’s easy to sing and play on the guitar, making it one the most popular song for beginners and karaoke nights.
Ring of Fire
by
Johnny Cash
This is a great choice for guys with low voices. Finding a good pop song for baritones is really difficult, while the classic rock songs provide a larger variety and more range.
Lips of an Angel
by
Hinder
Meant for the middle tone voice. It does stretch the voice a little in the chorus, but it shouldn’t be too difficult.
Everlong (Acoustic Version)
by
Foo Fighter
The acoustic version is much more mellow than the original. Very easy to stay in tune with this song.
