One of the things I love most about this song is hearing the karaoke guys trying to hit the notes in the chorus.
These giant leaps of range have taken out some of the best karaoke stars all around the world.
I wonder if Morton Harket had any idea that his song would be hailed as one of the most difficult karaoke songs to sing of all time.
And here at Ken Tamplin Vocal Academy, we can’t help but accept a challenge!
I decided to sing this song myself as a vocal demonstration and then use my own vocal demonstration to show you how I did it, step-by-step, line by line.
But in this song, some things are not as they seem. Often times, we make things much more difficult than they really are and so our bodies get tensed up and locked down, and we lose the freedom to give ourselves permission to sing a song like this with much more relative ease. And, if we had only known the roadmap on how to get there, it would provide the confidence we need to pull it off.
I submit to you, “the roadmap”!
I hope this not only helps you crush it at karaoke or your favorite cover song night out, but also provides you with the tools to dissect other songs of a similar ilk and helps you develop the range you’re looking for to do what you love, and that is to sing without fear of “hitting the high note!”
