FAITHFULLY by Jovit Baldivino

Out na pala sa market ang debut album ng first ever PGT Grand Champion winner na si JOVIT BALDIVINO na may pamagat na "FAITHFULLY" (under Star Records). As expected, kasama sa track list ang ilan sa mga kinanta nya during the competition gaya ng "Too much love will kill you" (by Queen) at eto ngang klasikong kanta ng The Journey.

Personally, hindi ko masyadong bet nun si Jovit na manalo sa PGT dahil ginagaya nya ang boses ni Arnel Pineda (na obvious din na ginagaya ang boses ng dating Journey's front man na si Steve Perry). Ikaw ba gusto mong manalo sa isang international franchised talent search na nagrerepresent ng ating bansa e yung walang originality?...pero talentwise, magaling din naman talagang kumanta ang bata at may charisma (?) pa sa mga tao.

Carrier single ng album ang "Faithfully" kaya naman tunay na pang-Cover Corner sya. Tsek nyo!

SIZZLING RONAN!

Nakakaloka naman talaga ang pic na 'to ni RONAN KEATING!...Bigla tuloy nagising at nag-init ang katawang lupa ko lol!! (pahiram ms. ai ai!)...If his name doesn't ring u a bell, siya lang naman ang isa sa miyembro ng dating Irish boyband na Boyzone...


...at bago pa tayo mapunta sa kung saan ay pakinggan nyo na lang ang ilang revival songs na pinasikat ni papa Ronan. Enjoy!

BABY CAN I HOLD YOU ang unang kanta na nainlababu ako sa boses nya


SHE BELIEVES IN ME unang kinanta ni Kenny Rogers noong 1978

IF TOMORROW NEVER COMES orihinal ng country superstar na si Garth Brooks, pinatunayan niya sa kantang 'to na magaling talaga syang balladeer



WHEN YOU SAY NOTHING AT ALL katulad ng kay alison krauss, gustong-gusto ko rin to!

FATHER AND SON isang klasikong kanta ni cat stevens na nirecord nya noong 2004 para sa kanyang greatest hits compilation cd



p.s. nakuha ko pala ang pic na yun dito! - 0

I Found ALISON KRAUSS

If you like country, calm melodic or sophisticated acoustic music, this CD won't disappoint you.

NOW THAT I FOUND YOU: A COLLECTION is a compilation of cover songs and older singles from Grammy award winning bluegrass artist ALISON KRAUSS (along with her band Union Station). Her soothing voice and beautiful instrumental sound make this one of the best album I own.

If you havent heard Alison Krauss' music before, i recommend that you should check out or buy this album...Nothing but greatness here.

BABY NOW THAT I FOUND YOU (The Foundations) if angels could sing they would probably sound like alison krauss


OH ATLANTA (Bad English) my favorite track on this cd..she really shines on this song


I WILL (The Beatles) only a tremendous talent like krauss could make a Beatles song into a bluegrass masterpiece



WHEN YOU SAY NOTHING AT ALL (Keith Whitley) one of the most beautiful mellow songs ive heard...so touching!

USE SOMEBODY by Craig David

I love the original version of USE SOMEBODY (performed by the rock band, Kings of Leon), but was also delighted with this awesome cover rendition by British rnb pop singer CRAIG DAVID. He recently performed this acoustically for The Sun's Bizaare Sessions as promotion for his latest album, Signed Sealed Delivered.

Watch the clip and it'll remind you why Craig is one of the best rnb male recording artist out there!

GIRLS JUST WANNA HAVE FUN

I'm currently digging this folksy/acoustic interpretation of Cyndi Lauper's 1983 classic hit. Performed by a singer-songwriter from Berlin, Germany named NORMAN PALM.

The great AHMIR

RnB group YouTube sensation AHMIR are back with another superduper awesome cover. This time they take two current popular songs and mix them together into one great performance.

Watch the clip below as they mash up Usher's OMG and Taio Cruz' Break Your Heart...Im still thinking, why aren't they sign yet?

JOAN OSBORNE COVERS

The singer behind the massive hit single "One of Us" turns 48th today Thursday, July 8 (Manila time). I'm talking about Grammy award nominee JOAN OSBORNE. Being a huge fan, I decided to make a post of some of her best cover songs available out there.

Her 1996 debut album RELISH is back in rotation on my music player. To be honest, this is a very solid album and while I haven't heard much from her other albums, the song below which is originally performed by Bob Dylan is one of my favorite covers from her.

MAN IN THE LONG BLACK COAT



TO MAKE YOU FEEL MY LOVE another good interpretation of a Dylan song



I'LL BE AROUND originally from The Spinners, Joan put her own magic touch on this using her very soothing and seductive voice



Another track that stands out from RELISH cd is the song ST. THERESA and was covered by rock band THE FRAY in one of their Rolling Stone gig.


From a big fan in the Philippines, Happy Birthday, Joan!!!

**end**

CALIFORNIA GURLS cool cover

Not a fan of this latest Katy Perry's song, but this version by Tyler Ward and friends blows the original recording out of the water!!!


These guys really have fantastic voices. People MUST listen to them coz they're really good and they should get a contract to any record labels.

Another Pinoy Pride: LUIGI SENO

Basta pagdating sa kantahan, walang duda na tayong mga pinoy ay hindi pahuhuli sa larangang ito.

Sa bagong edition ng America's Got Talent, isa na namang kababayan ang nakapasa sa audition round. Siya ay walang iba kundi si LUIGI SENO, 2o taong gulang na tubong Mandaue, Cebu ngunit nag-migrate ang buong pamilya sa US noong 2001. (Para sa ibang personal na detalye, tsek nyo ang kanyang website dito.)

Sa pamamagitan ng kanyang acoustic guitar ay inawit ni Seno ang sariling bersyon ng "Sunday Morning" na kinanta ng isa sa paborito kong rock band na Maroon 5. At talaga namang napahanga niya ang mga hurado na sina Sharon Osbourne (ang brouhang asawa ni Ozzy, from MTV's The Osbourne fame), Howie Mandel (Deal or No Deal host) at Piers Morgan (news editor).



Well sana lang magtuloy tuloy ang swerte ni Seno para naman madagdagan pa ng pinoy talents invasion sa international music scene. With his charm and most of all the talent, he can be the male version of Charice!...What do u think?

YOU'RE STILL THE ONE (Charice version)

Pinay international singing sensation and future Glee star CHARICE goes country with an acoustic guitar cover of Shania Twain's 1997 hit song, "You're still the one" for Billboard sessions.

Is she going country now? Charice said she just chose to record the song becoz it reminds her of her mom who used to be a band vocalist and 'they were always singing that song.'

What do you think of Charice's cover of the song?
