4. “Angels” – Robbie Williams
I don’t particularly enjoy this song that ranked 4th on our list of best karaoke songs to get the crowds going, and I’ve always found Williams to be –contrary to popular opinion- a bit “icky.” Still, I understand what makes this song a crowd pleaser. It’s packed with feeling and long notes that one can sing without even knowing the lyrics properly. Instead of “And through it aaaaaaall,” you can just go “en fu ee ohhhhhhh” and no one will know the difference.
Here, the crowd is so loud you can’t almost hear the guy, who by the way, I cannot figure out: he’s wearing a hoodie over a turtle neck, he has a bad-ass could-be-governor-in-a-pirate-movie face and mini-ponytail, and he chose this song. Seriously, who is this dude?
Here’s icky Robbie for you:
