Karaoke symbolizes a freedom that hardly any other activities in the field of entertainment can offer. It offers people the courage to come up in front of an unknown audience to sing songs even in the face of potential shame.

The selection of music for most karaoke sessions relies on the type of audience you have. The majority of people favor a pop or rock song, whilst others decide on country music. Even a few groups are brave enough to hold opera karaoke sessions. Karaoke CDs are available in all these ranges, and therefore it is very difficult to identify a list of the top 10-karaoke songs. Some people may think it is the best songs, and other might think it is absolute trash.

On the other hand, when you play music for a big audience, it is vital that you cater for everyone's tastes. Otherwise, the crowd will be bored in a matter of minutes. Usually the fast contemporary tracks are a huge hit at any party. Ideally though, there should be a blend of tempos for the best entertainment. You should also have an equal allocation for male and female solos and duos. If your crowd likes to sing, you must have songs that let the superior singers show off their voices. Also, have some songs for those that are not so good, and have to keep up appearances.

The top-10 karaoke songs to sing are based on the accepted view and requests made at karaoke bars all over the world. What will follow below is a list of the 10 best karaoke songs to sing.

1. Summer of 69 by Bryan Adams

2. Hotel California by the Eagles

3. What a wonderful World by Louis Armstrong

4. Imagine by John Lennon

5. Girls just wanna have fun by Cindy Lauper

6. I will survive by Diana King.

There are more songs that you may not have at your karaoke event, but is worth putting in. In the end, it is up to you to read your audience and select the right music for the evening. Some songs might not have made the top 10 list, but they are also very popular at most karaoke events. Take "Sweet Caroline" by Neil Diamond. Some might see it as clichéd, but most crowds just love to sing with the "bah bah bahs". This ensures that it remains a very popular karaoke song. One well-known song for singing along with is "Livin on a Prayer" by Bon Jovi. People just love to join in at the "whoaaa-ohhhhh, livin' on a prayer" part. Although well worn in, these songs are still must haves at every karaoke event.

It is also a good idea to throw in some songs that are favorites amongst the girls and favorites amongst the boys. This will get everyone involved in your karaoke evening.
