What to sing in karaoke #1: Pop songs for tenor voice

"What to sing in karaoke" - are series of articles where I'm posting great songs to sing in karaoke for each voice type and each musical genre.

For preparing songs lists for these series of articles I'm using singingcarrots.com - a database of songs that allows you to find songs based on your vocal range.


This article #1 is for people with tenor voice type who want to sing pop (popular) songs in karaoke.
Tenor is typically a male voice that can sing between the notes C3 and C5. The cool part about this voice type is that it intersects quite a lot with low female voices, so tenors can pick songs from male and female artists!

Further down I list the songs with links to listen the song, get the lyrics or find a music score.

First let's look at some easy songs for tenors:
