Dolly Parton is the queen of country music and the queen of our hearts. This song was written in 1980 for the film of the same time where she made her acting debut.

The film is about life in an American office, where the workday was 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.

The song “9 to 5” and the movie both highlighted workplace discrimination against women. With three female stars confronting their stereotypically insulting employer, it was done for laughs, which was the only way it could reach a large audience, but it still delivered a strong statement.

23.”Jolene” – Dolly Parton

We had to include this too by Dolly Parton, with this song she genuinely gave us a gift, it’s such a classic that is not only a top country tune but also one of the best karaoke songs of all time.

The song was born from a meeting with a 10-year-old fan asking for an autograph. Dolly asked her: “You’re the cutest little creature I’ve ever seen, What is your name then? And she uttered “Jolene.” and she then said, “Jolene.” Jolene. Jolene. Jolene. That is pretty. That sounds like a song. I’m going to write a song about that”

24.”I Will Survive” – Gloria Gaynor

This is another classic that had to be included in this list. It’s a female-empowerment anthem that is about moving on after a bad relationship. It has acquired meaning through time for people who have overcome just about any challenging circumstance.

25.”No Scrubs” – TLC

No Scrubs by TLC has grown to be a highly popular song for women to sing at karaoke parties, particularly for those in unhappy relationships. This is due to the song’s well-known subject matter, which is deadbeat men who have nothing going for them yet still think it’s okay to hit on women. The song helped popularize the term “scrub,” which refers to a worthless individual who only serves to enrich your life by using you.

26. “I kissed a girl” – Katy Perry

This was Katy Perry’s first single and it’s a classic karaoke song. The song is all about exploration and female bonding. The song held the top spot on the Billboard Hot 100 for seven weeks straight, matching The Beatles’ “I Want To Hold Your Hand” as the longest run at number one for a Capitol Records rock hit.

27. “If I could turn back time” – Cher

Once again Cher created another anthem. This song was taken from her best-selling album, Heart of stone. 

Although it may be outside of our purview to embody a real-life Cher, we’re confident that you can quickly learn this power ballad as a simple song for female karaoke singers.

28.”I Wanna Dance with Somebody” – Whitney Houston

The next time you want to sing your heart out, you might think about using this song. This upbeat 1980s pop song is difficult but enjoyable.

With a hint of soul, the chorus booms. Fortunately, each verse gives your voice a break before the following chorus, which demands more stamina.

You should work on your dance and those high notes.

29. “Heard It Through The Grapevine” — Marvin Gaye

This song is sung by a male, but when performed by a woman, it’s just as good. This smooth and energetic R&B song was released in 1968. The main themes are concern at being left for someone else and eventual acceptance of the circumstance. Making this tune your own may be a ton of fun.

30. “Dancing Queen” – Abba

No karaoke event would be complete unless someone tried this. This features a terrific chorus and melody in addition to a nice speed and beat. Also, singing isn’t that difficult. It was hailed as the best Pop tune ever. They might be right.

31. “Respect” – Aretha Franklin

This song is probably best known to most people as one of Aretha Franklin’s signature songs. Its title makes it clear what it is about. Yet, what matters is the strength of the music and how it is performed. With its funky rhythm and vocal style, this song is a full-on Soul number that will require considerable performing. If you can get it even partially right, it will be a wise decision.

32. “I Say a Little Prayer” – Aretha Franklin

Let’s stay with to Aretha one more time. This is another timeless hit that is one of the best known.  Burt Bacharach and Hal David initially wrote it for Dionne Warwick. Her 1967 release featured a slightly different aesthetic.

This song was a success and it sold well overseas and peaked at #4 in the UK and #10 in America. A strong song, but one that will require a voice with restraint because it’s easy to overdo it. Another song, though, will be a smash if you can get it right.

33. “Watermelon Sugar” – Harry Styles

Harry Styles spins a love story in this seductive song. He compares the flavor of “strawberries on a summer evening” to how he feels about his lover.

34. “Sweet Caroline” – Neil Diamond

Diamond dedicated this great song to Marcia Murphey, his second wife. “Lovely Marcia” didn’t match the melody; he wanted a name with three syllables. He used the name Caroline since it was one he had written down and it was the ideal fit for the song.

35. “Lady Marmalade” – Christina Aguilera 

This song is about New Orleans prostitutes and it was originally written by Bob Crewe.
