Depends on the setting.

Nobody seems into it? Kiss from a rose- seal.

Need to set the bar? The Widow- Mars Volta

Classic crowd? Plush- Stone temple pilots

Easiest for my voice: There's a reason these tables are numbered- Panic at the Disco

People are worried to be embarassed? Brand new key- Melanie

And on the occasion I want to make everyone laugh and impress them: It's all coming back to me- Celine Dion.

I'm a large, traditionally masculine guy. It's a lot more fun to subvert expectations.

Edit: forgot one. If I'm attempting to impress girls: Mon amant de saint-jean- Patrick Bruel

This is a phenomenal list.

If you or the host use Karafun, you can drop the key an octave when selecting. In which case Let It Go from Frozen is a solid crowd pleaser and might be in your range.

Good to know, although my range is unreasonably high for the way I look. While on the topic of tips to help with karaoke, if you have the option on your setup, or can ask the DJ to do so, add about 10-15% reverb to the microphone. It allows the singer to hear themselves and pitch correct on the fly.

The Widow- Mars Volta

Surprised to see Mars Volta! It's a little too high for my range to try it in public, but I could get down with Televators.

[–] SadSadSatellite@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 21 hours ago

I fell in love with them while I was finding my singing voice, so that's where my range ended up

[–] vector42@programming.dev 1 points 15 hours ago

This is a proper answer.

I used to love singing One Armed Scissor on Rock Band but I’ve never had the guts to try ATDI or Mars Volta in public.
