RIHANNA: SKIN (COVER)

Check out this soulful version of SKIN (original song by Rihanna) performed by an artist named ANAIS AIDA...She used her varied influences and amazing vocals to take the song into a higher level. The result- nothing less than sexy and addictive!

MORE ABOUT ANAIS

Born in Toulouse, France to a Senegalese father and French mother, raised in Ireland, France, Senegal and California, Anais was quite the cultured globe trotter before she even honed in on her passion as a singer-songwriter. Those travels have undoubtedly influenced her sound; a sound that often recalls the non-conventional rhythms present in her African heritage, the vocal stylings of classic soul and neo-soul artists and the swag of modern R&B. Anais mixes and strips all these things down to their bare essentials, creating quite a captivating aural experience. Now in New York City, at New York University's Clive Davis Institute of Recorded Music, Anais is blossoming and constantly refining her craft under the watchful eye of the astute group of professors at the Clive Davis Institute which includes legends like Nona Hendryx (of Labelle), and famed hip-hop producer Swizz Beatz. =)

SAY HELLO AGAIN TO THE BASEBALLS!

German trio THE BASEBALLS released a cover of the song 'HELLO', originally sang by Martin Solveig and Dragonette. This is the first single from their latest album STRINGS N' STRIPES.


The guys also performed live song covers of Rihanna's Umbrella and Lady Gaga's Born This Way. As usual, they put their own Rock and Roll touch to the songs!


I love how they take what was a supremely annoying song and make it into something you can listen to. Brilliant!



Everything they touch is pure perfection! =O

Introducing JOSEPH VINCENT

Hindi ko napanood ang ating kababayang si JOSEPH VINCENT kung saan nafeature sya sa programang Ellen. Buti na lang may Youtube kaya may-i-search ako dun at presto- di lang napanood ang buong stint nya sa show ni Ellen De Generes, watch ko na rin halos lahat ng mga uploaded videos nya!

He was so incredibly talented!...got the voice, charm, the acoustic vibes, actually mas magaling nga sya kay Justin Bieber no? With the right person na hahandle sa kanyang career (calling Mr. David Foster!), im sure malayong mararating ng batang ito!

Anyway, check nyo ang ilan sa favorite kong song covers nya:

RUDE BOY (Rihanna cover)

OMG (Usher cover) ala-craig david ang rendition nya dito

Meet THE BASEBALLS

New wine on old bottles and I like it!..
Sometimes a cover is much better than the original song, and this is a good example.

the baseballs- hot n cold

Who are these dudes anyway?--THE BASEBALLS are a German band founded in 2007 and become popular in covering modern pop songs with an energetic 50’s twist. Their style might be a bit gimmicky, but you’ll find it hard not to jive along, take for example with their awesome rendition of Rihanna’s UMBRELLA.

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)

COOL COVERS

There are so many good cover songs out there na talaga namang very surprisingly amazing!...at kung minsan hindi mo inaasahan na mas okey pa ito kaysa sa original version dahil sa ginawan ito ng kakaibang renditon at style. Heto ang ilan sa mga paborito ko at ilan sa kanila ay inupload ko sa aking profile sa imeem. I-click niyo at baka magustuhan niyo rin. :}

Jill Sobule- Survivor (Destiny's Child original)

Mystery Jets- Bleeding Love (Leona Lewis original)

Corin Joel- I kissed a girl (Katy Perry original)

Shariff- Disturbia (Rihanna original)

Camera Obscura- Some guys have all the luck (Rod Stewart original)

James Morrison- Man in the mirror (Michael Jackson original)

The Walls- With or without you (U2 cover)

Arctic Monkeys- You know i'm no good (Amy Winehouse original)

Bree Sharp- Were going to be friends (The White Stripes original)
