According to NBC News, only about 20 percent of people can’t sing. This is a result of poor control over their vocal muscles. However, for the other 80 percent, doing a decent karaoke number is possible. If you really want to stand out in the crowd, pick a song to sing in Spanish. Fortunately, there are a number of Spanish karaoke songs that can impress and aren’t that difficult to learn.
1. ¿Y cómo es él? – José Luis Perales
The original “¿Y Cómo Es Él?” debuted in 1981, and since then, gained the attention of singers like Marc Anthony and Raphael, who both redid the song. You, however, don’t have to be a world-famous singer to perform this number. And there’s even room for a bit of personalization in this tune.

2. No Me Queda Más – Selena
In English, the title means “I have no more,” but we’re quite certain that’s not talent because this song was one of Selena’s most well-known, and she was a Grammy award-winning singer. At your next karaoke party, you can be a winner with this track.
3. A Puro Dolor – Son by Four
“A Puro Dolor” is a love ballad begging a person to return after a breakup. It sounds much prettier in Spanish than how we just described it, though. Two versions exist of this song, and either could work for karaoke, but you’ll get to showcase your vocals longer with the extended version.

This is a fun song to dance to and get the crowd involved. It’s about going dancing because of starting a new life, and that’s just what you can have the crowd doing with this number.
5. Eres tú – Mocedades

6. Despacito – Luis Fonsi featuring Daddy Yankee
While you’ve probably heard the English version of “Despacito” with Justin Bieber, Luis Fonsi and Daddy Yankee have a version in Spanish as well. While the English version hit the top of the charts in the U.S., the Spanish one was on the Billboard Hot Latin Songs chart for 56 consecutive weeks. You can give it your own style and make it yours.

33. El Perdedor – Enrique Iglesias Featuring Marco Antonio Solís
Whether you choose to do this track as a duet or sing it by yourself, it’s an emotional ballad about a break-up, perfect if you want to put heart into your karaoke song.
