Some don't have any of these instruments
John Cena became a big Johnny Cash fan after seeing the 2005 film 'Walk the Line.' Fortunately for him, Cash's deep register suits his voice, and his favorite of the legend's songs is 'Folsom Prison Blues.'
Christian Slater is a fan of karaoke and feels confident in his rendition of 'That’s Life’ by Frank Sinatra, which he says he can belt out and usually pleases the crowd!
As a professional singer, Adam Levine doesn't want to show off by going for a powerful pop ballad, for fear of looking like an "a**hole." His go-to is a more chill number: 'Let's Stay Together' by Al Green.
'Schitt's Creek' star Dan Levy always goes for 'Purple Rain' by Prince whenever he takes to the stage. "There is a level of theatrics to the performance of the song that often can distract from the fact that I can't really sing it," he confided.
Singer Charlie Puth thinks ‘I Wanna Dance with Somebody’ by Whitney Houston is the perfect karaoke song. He told Thrillist that F-sharp is his favorite key to sing in and makes people feel like dancing.
Amy Adams is another actress who showed off her vocal talents on screen, with the Disney musical 'Enchanted' in 2007. Her karaoke routine always includes the song ‘Alone’ by Heart, but she's not afraid to kick up the tempo with some ABBA when the mood strikes!
Shailene Woodley's husky voice is perfectly suited to her karaoke song of choice: 1960's rock ballad 'Crimson and Clover' by Tommy James & the Shondells.
Joseph Gordon-Levitt goes for a heartfelt Michael Jackson classic: 'Man in the Mirror.’
Scottish actor Gerard Butler's karaoke go-to is perhaps the most overplayed song in the UK: ‘Wonderwall’ by Oasis.
After five shots of tequila, Naomi Watts says you might catch her doing a little number from the musical 'Grease.'
Nick Kroll's go-to move on karaoke nights is to sit in the corner and get extremely drunk on soju, but if he must sing, he loves a bit of Queen. ‘Don’t Stop Me Now’ is the song for Kroll!
'Euphoria' star Barbie Ferreira goes for some serious noughties nostalgia with ‘crushcrushcrush’ by Paramore. "I think it's the least embarrassing song for me to sing because I feel like I nail it," she explained.
'The Punisher' star Jon Bernthal enjoys a low-register country song when he partakes in karaoke. While in Georgia visiting his friends from 'The Walking Dead,' he sang 'Long Haired Country Boy' by David Allan Coe. He theorized that "old-school country music is the original gangster rap.”
Nicole Kidman is another ABBA fan when karaoke night rolls around. Her favorite song to sing is 'Mamma Mia,' back to back with her sister.
Unfortunately, when Puth organized a karaoke night for his birthday in 2019, he didn't get to sing Whitney Houston... His friends sang only Charlie Puth songs, which he says was embarrassing and annoying but also kind of fun!
Jeremy Renner must be a karaoke regular, as he has a selection of favorite songs to choose from! Depending on the mood he might go for ‘New York State of Mind’ by Billy Joel, or keep it smooth with ‘Fly Me to the Moon’ by Frank Sinatra.
He clarified that it wasn't because of how bad his singing was, but rather how drunk he had to get in order to get up and sing... Apparently, there were also hand gestures involved!
