"The Boy is Mine" - Brandy, Monica
Performance tips: The beginning dialogue in this song is so important. It sets the stage for the entire song. It gives the whole thing meaning. So it's important that you really commit to the exchange between Brandy and Monica. It may feel silly, but if you do the silly thing right at the beginning of the song, the rest of it will be a lot more fun.
Harmonies: None. (Brandy and Monica never sing at the same time.)
Difficulty rating: Easy
Should you do it if you're drunk?: Yes.
Bring down the house: The end of the song is very repetitive and you run the risk of boring the audience. Try to mimic some of the vocal runs that Brandy and Monica are doing in the actual song.
"Don't Go Breaking My Heart" - Elton John, Kiki Dee
Performance tips: This is a classic karaoke jam. The vocals are evenly shared, and it's easy to sing. This song has a playful vibe, so make sure you sing it with someone you really like. Like most karaoke classics, the end is very repetitive, so be sure to keep the energy up so you don't bore the crowd.
Harmonies: None.
Difficulty rating: Easy
Should you do it if you're drunk?: Yes.
Bring down the house: Make up a little choreography to go along with it. With this song, it wouldn't be weird.
"Feeling Myself" - Nicki Minaj, Beyoncé
Performance tips: It would be a crime to half-ass this song. This song requires 100% commitment from you and your partner. "Feeling Myself" isn't one of those look-how-silly-we're-being-on-stage-haha-we're-laughing karaoke songs. If you perform this song with intensity, you'll get the encouragement from the audience you need.
Harmonies: None.
Difficulty rating: Intermediate
Should you do it if you're drunk?: No.
Bring down the house: If you're doing Nicki's part, point to someone in the audience on the "Yes daddy, I do" line.
