COUNTING CROWS: CRAZY FOR YOU

Here is COUNTING CROWS with their version of Madonna's 1985 hit single "Crazy For You"...I thought this one sounded a bit unlikely when I first heard it, but it’s live and acoustic and comes across as earnest and slightly melancholy. Absolutely love it!!

GABBY YOUNG:LIKE A VIRGIN

Check out this amazing UK band called GABBY YOUNG & OTHER ANIMALS and their captivating cover version of Madonna's classic hit 'LIKE A VIRGIN'. This is my all-time favorite song from the queen and hearing this version really gives me goosebumps!!


Young's voice is one of a kind and absolutely heavenly. If that's not saying she's extremely talented, then i don't know what will!=O

Detroit's JAY JOLLEY does a stripped version of Queen's classic THE SHOW MUST GO ON. I love the voice, the passion and the energy...well done!


New York songstress VAN MULLER adds a sexy, blues-rock twist to the classic tune BABY IT'S YOU originally made famous by The Shirelles and The Beatles...Very nice rendition! (More artist info here.)


Canadian artist TODD KOAL covers U2's RUNNING TO STAND STILL...This song is one of my favorites from the Joshua Tree album, and Koal did justice to that song. Amazing! What a cool version!

Charice and Glee covers

Here's a latest buzz from our very own CHARICE. The pinay teen sensation will be joining the 'kids' of Mckinley High for the coming season of GLEE!...o di ba bongga? This is really big dahil sikat na sikat ngayon sa US ang show, dinaig pa nga ang American Idol nun sa ratings and even sa record sales.

Ayon sa website ng Entertainment weekly, isang foreign exchange student mula sa Pilipinas na may 'killer voice' ang magiging role ni Charice na siyang magiging archrival ni Rachel, ang role na ginagampanan naman ni Lea Michelle.

I always watch Glee. Sana lang may magfranchise sa show dito sa Pinas dahil sure fire naman na maghihit ito sa panlasa ng pinoy. (Calling channel 2 and 7, mag-unahan na kayo!)

Anyway, to Charice - this is really your destiny!...We're so proud of you girl, good luck sa career mo ang congratulations!

GLEE CAST- LIKE A PRAYER (MADONNA)

Lady Madonna

Sa August 16, ang tunay na gay icon at Queen of Pop na si Madonna ay mag-51 years old na!...Pero look at her- she's still hot as ever and feel's young pero u really cannot hide the fact na jumujunda na rin siya. By looking at her latest pics and videos, mapapansin mo ang malaking pagmature sa kanyang face at yung paglaylay ng skin niya sa shoulder ay isang malaking sign yon na damatans na nga siya. (I wonder kung ano magiging itsura niya by the time when she turns 60 or 70.)

After breaking up with husband Australian film director Guy Ritchie, Madonna has a new man of her life in the person of hunky Brazilian model named Jesus Luz. At minsan pang pinatunayan ng lola Madonna nyo ang pagiging dyosa ng mga gaylalu's by helping Jesus to have his own career sa modelling world at sa ambition nitong maging DJ. With that hot and gorgeous bod to die for ay talagang maiintidihan ko ang lola nyo kung ba't niya ginagawa yon!


Madonna remains one of the greatest pop acts of all time and even named as the world's highest earning female singer on earth. With the upcoming released of her new album, CELEBRATION later this year, expect more on continually reinventing her music and image and for retaining a standard of anonymity in the music industry. Here's some of my favorite cover version of her songs- as she is recognized as an influenced among other music artists.

Rihanna- Vogue

Lavender Diamond- Like a prayer

Natasha Bedingfield- Ray of light

Regina Spektor- Love Profusion

Madonna has her own share of covering songs. Here's some notable picks:

Madonna- Imagine (Beatles cover)

Madonna- American Pie (Don Mclean cover)
