Going out for karaoke always makes for a memorable night with friends, but you—and everyone else in the bar—will have more fun if you select the right song. Don’t just choose any song you like; there’s more thought that should go into making this decision. Follow the guide below to select the perfect hit people will be talking about for months.

Your Guide to Choosing a Karaoke Song

Know Your Limits

When you get up to sing karaoke, no one will expect you to have perfect pitch. They won’t, however, want to hear you try belting out a song that requires range that you don’t have. Analyze your vocal ability, then listen to the song you’re thinking about performing. If it’s outside your limits, choose something less challenging. Your audience will enjoy it more, and you’ll feel comfortable singing something that fits your abilities.

Keep It Short & Fun

Though a minute doesn’t sound like much of a difference, a short song will keep everyone entertained without hitting a point where the performance drags.

Choose Something Recognizable

You’ll make it more enjoyable for everyone as well if you choose a song that they know and will be happy to hear. Try to avoid the most popular songs, however, or you may end up being the third person to perform the song in the evening. Remember that people are there to have a good time, so avoid sad or obscure songs that no one will recognize. Something upbeat or funny will get a much better reaction from the crowd than a heartbreak anthem.
