5 All-Time Favorite Karaoke Hits Pinoys Love To Sing
5. Halik – Aegis
What is it with Pinoys and karaoke songs that require a considerable amount of birit? In any case, it’s the classic non-stop birit from start to finish “Halik” that karaoke lovers can’t seem to stop singing. Perhaps it’s the emotions that come with singing the song, or that it perfectly captures the feeling of longing for the one that got away, or the natural power of Aegis– whatever the case, this, and any Aegis song for that matter, will continue to be a staple in karaoke bars.
4. Bakit Ngayon Ka Lang – Freestyle
Originally written and sung by Ogie Alcasid, the Freestyle version famously made this into a duet with Pops Fernandez, and has therefore become the go-to duet song on the karaoke machine. Perfect for singing along with that “friend” of yours, while secretly dedicating this song to them, as you look into each other’s eyes…
3. Total Eclipse of the Heart – Bonnie Tyler
“Turn around, bright eyes…” and watch the person singing this karaoke staple go on full drama mode. This song is another example of theatrics and over-the-top performances that Pinoys love to venerate and relive through karaoke. It’s just loads of fun to watch someone give it their all, complete with dramatic hand gestures.
2. I Will Survive – Gloria Gaynor
Supposedly the theme song of every scorned woman who has found the courage to leave their lovers, I Will Survive has found its way to the ranks of karaoke staples. The upbeat tune definitely makes it sound fun to be newly single!
1. My Way – Frank Sinatra
Because really, were you expecting anything else? This is the song that has spawned its own urban legends, with news of bar brawls and shots fired (literally) all because someone else sang the song before the person, OR the person wasn’t singing it right. Oh Frank Sinatra, what have you done to us all? But for all the chaos this song has caused throughout history, there’s no escaping the fact that this hit is timeless. All together now, “I did it myyy… way…”
