Our dreams and aspirations, invisible to those around us, make up a large part of who we are, and singing popular karaoke songs allows us to express those hidden fragments of our being.
'My heart will go on', sung by Celine Dion, was the moving theme song played right at the end of the film 'Titanic'. With its sad but beautiful message about the eternal nature of love, it has become an ideal expression of romantic love, a firm favourite at Valentine or with dating couples. Possibly the fairy tale rags to riches story about the singer who married her manager René Angélil and still seems very much in love with him, adds to the allure of this recording.
A song that empowers through faith in your talents and your inner strength, is 'I believe I can fly' by R. Kelly
Netting numerous Grammy Awards in 1998, the song was also used in a few movie soundtracks. Musically active since his young years, R Kelly composed hits for artists such as Britney Spears, Mary J. Blige, Michael Jackson, Aaliyah and Whitney Houston.
With the song 'Crazy Little Thing called Love', Queen wrote a song that would have fitted very well musically into the 1950s rock n roll style. The words are a simple, light-hearted lament about the ups and downs of being in love. Since a karaoke night can make a fun first date, a new suitor might well choose this song to woo his ladylove.
A different Queen song 'Bohemian Rhapsody' is also a popular karaoke choice, despite the challenge its complicated falsetto vocals presents. Maybe the reason for this is that it provides a budding drama king the excuse to ham it up.
The beautiful Evanescence song 'My immortal' has been taken to refer to someone who has died and is fiercely missed by the one who remains. Many people remember a relative or a friend or a lover when they listen to it. On the karaoke stage it is a song to devote to the memory of someone who has touched your life.
No one can sound quite like Louis Armstrong, but nevertheless 'What a wonderful world' remains a very popular selection for karaoke. The song invites a little individuality from the performer as far as interpretation goes. The words evoke an image of the unique joys to be found if you only open your eyes to them. It is a song that lifts the spirits with its positive message.
One of the charms of karaoke is the way it enables people to embrace a wilder inner identity without letting go of their comfort zone completely. 'Born to be wild' expresses the dream of living on the road, wild and free. Featured in the soundtrack of the movie 'Easy Rider, this Steppenwolf song has become a theme song for bikers around the world.
