No need to have a pro voice to grab the mic and have a blast at karaoke. What really matters? The energy, the song choice, the attitude... and most importantly: having fun! At KaraFun Bruxelles, we celebrate the joy of singing, no matter your skill level. But if you want to surprise your friends the next time you visit us, we've got a few tips that might make them wonder, "Did they take lessons or something?"

Whether you're a regular in our karaoke rooms or planning a night out with friends, here are 5 foolproof tips to shine at karaoke — even without a diva's voice.

1. Choose the right song (for you)

The first golden rule: don't aim to impress, aim to have fun. You don't have to take on Bohemian Rhapsody or I Will Always Love You (though we admire the brave souls who do). What’s important is to find a song you feel comfortable with.

Some crowd-pleasers:

• Sing-along anthems: Les Lacs du Connemara, La Tribu de Dana, Zombie by The Cranberries.
• Feel-good classics: I’m Still Standing, Don’t Stop Believin’, Je danse le Mia.
• Lovable ridiculous anthems: Dragostea Din Tei, Asereje, or Stach Stach!

🎯 KaraFun Bar Tip: On our touch tablets, you can customize your song by adjusting the key, tempo, or vocal assist. Create the perfect hit for you in just seconds!

2. Bring the style, not the notes

Karaoke isn’t The Voice. What we want to see is flair, showmanship, and attitude! Even if you don't have Beyoncé's voice, you can steal the spotlight with great stage presence: an impromptu moonwalk, a rockstar pose, or a theatrical musical-style duet... Anything goes as long as you're having a blast.

Remember: the vibe is playful. Everyone's there to have a good time, not to judge.

3. Sing in a duo (or group)

Want to shine without the pressure? Invite a friend or two on stage! Singing with others is the secret weapon for:

• Sharing the fun (and the lyrics),
• Boosting the energy,
• And, let’s be honest... hiding a few off-key notes 😉 (Some might call them wrong, but we prefer to think the music just got a little lost.)

Iconic duets to try:

• Shallow (Lady Gaga & Bradley Cooper)
• A Whole New World (for Disney fans)
• Under Pressure (Freddie Mercury & David Bowie)
• Or... why not a boy band/girl band challenge?

🎯 KaraFun Bar Tip: Our catalog lets you filter by “Duo” to find the best songs to share.

4. Nail your entrance (and exit)

The moment you step on stage is almost as important as the song. So, go all out! Why not announce your song like an international star? Or have your friends introduce you like a TV show? Guaranteed fun.

And once the song is over: take a bow, clap your hands, thank your audience! Applause is for the attitude too!

🎯 KaraFun Bar Tip: In our private rooms, you control the atmosphere! Red lights, pink lighting, smoke machine... everything you need to create a real stage atmosphere. Feel like you're at a concert (without the nerves)!

5. Let go and have fun (that’s all that matters)

You know what? It doesn't matter if you’re not pitch-perfect. What really counts:

• Your energy,
• Your good mood,
• Your desire to share a wild (and unforgettable) moment with friends.

At KaraFun Bruxelles, nobody judges. Here, we celebrate boldness, laughter, and those fleeting moments of glory. Spoiler: it's often those who sing the most off-key who get the biggest cheers!

So grab the mic, let yourself go, and live your moment. You might just be THE star of the night. Or just the hero of your crew. And that's already pretty great!
