Choosing the right karaoke song can make all the difference between a memorable night with friends and an embarrassing disaster that you'll be talking about (and cringing over) for years to come. Whether your singing voice is as smooth as silk or more akin to a cat in heat, there's bound to be a perfect tune out there just waiting for you.

But where do you start? With thousands upon thousands of songs at our disposal – not even mentioning covers and remixes galore! It can feel overwhelming trying figure out which ones will actually sound good coming from your mouth. That's why we've called in the experts: three vocal coaches who've seen it all share their top picks for karaoke enthusiasts with every type of singing voice.

Soprano Sirens

If you're blessed (or cursed) with a powerful soprano belt, get ready to take center stage with these show-stopping belters. From classic divas like Aretha Franklin's 'Respect' and Etta James' 'At Last,' through to modern pop sensations like Adele's 'Rolling in the Deep' or Sam Smith's hauntingly beautiful ballad – there really is something for everyone here!

Sopranos who want a little less drama

For those who love belting out powerful tunes but prefer not too much strain on their vocal cords, these options are perfect. Think along lines of Lady Gaga’s ‘Born This Way’ or Katy Perry's 'Firework' - still big-voiced enough to turn heads without straining your pipes.

Mezzo Marvels

And then there are the mezzos – those lucky souls who can effortlessly hit both soprano high notes and rich, deep bass tones. If this sounds like you (and let’s face it, most people fall somewhere in between!), here are some fantastic choices to consider:

1. Adele - 'Rolling in the Deep'

2. Florence + The Machine - 'You Got the Love'

These songs showcase your impressive range while still being easy on the ol' vocal cords.

Baritone Belters

And finally, for all you baritones out there (yes, they exist!), here are some beltable anthems that will have everyone in awe:

1. Meat Loaf - 'I'd Do Anything'

2. Queen's Freddie Mercury - 'Bohemian Rhapsody'

These classic rock ballads prove even if your voice isn't as polished as the likes of David Bowie or Elton John, you can still belt out a mean tune!

Tenors to Watch Out For

And finally – for those brave souls who dare venture into unknown territory! Here are some songs that might just push your vocal limits (but hey, sometimes good things come from outside comfort zones):

1. Michael Jackson - 'Thriller'

2. Cher - 'Believe'

So there you have it folks – whether you're a seasoned pro looking to spice up your karaoke game or an amateur hoping not to embarrass yourself too badly, we've got the inside scoop on how to choose (or avoid) those perfect songs at every Karaoke Night event!
