The PSR E 463 is classed by Yamaha as an entry-level keyboard so you may be expecting too much in terms of replicating the voice and style you're looking for. According to the specs, it has a basic sampling feature, so it might be worth trying to sample the original sound from a recording.

I know , but maybe somebody has an idea, which style of my entry-level keyboard has a style, I could use!
Anyway, I guess I will download a karaoke version and play along with this! Thanks anyway!

Picking a ready made yamaha style to replicate any famous popular tune is a difficult task. Usually hit and miss. Often a miss.
Most unlikely you will get a perfect match.
You probably won't even get a close match.
Therefore, you need to improvise and make the tune your own arrangement.
Jazz it up to your own style.
