View submission: Looking for "well-known" crowd-pleaser upbeat karaoke songs that ALSO "show off" vocal range

Upbeat, very well known and sporting a 2 + 1/2 octave vocal range is "Take on me" by A-HA.

As the lowest note is a A2 and the highest note is an E5 (or something nearby, haven't re-checked), you will have to transpose it to fit your range (maybe a major 6th up, range will be F#3 to C6 then). There is a cover by a woman on youtube, but she's heavily cheating, keeping the original key and transposing the lower parts one octave up (resulting in a song that's easy to sing for a female singer).

As you mentioned Idina Menzel, Into the Unknwon from Frozen 2 goes a step higher in the belting part, if you somehow manage to sing the background, too, this has a C6 by Aurora at the end.

Cannot remember any C6 in Into the Unknown...

Where is it? Is it just a pitch shifted background stuff?

Tfw when you're a woman with a usable A2 but you still need to shift up to appease the internet

Or just not cover the song because it's easier
