The Cover Music Videos Youtube Round-Up – 3/27/12

Music Video Tuesday! Ok, that’s not a real thing, but that’s our theme of today’s round-up of Youtube video covers. Admittedly, the last video isn’t exactly a music video so much as it is a gigantic mash-up of footage. But when you’re dealing with 50 different artists and trying to work all those clips together, we figure it’s just as much work as any other MV production, so we’ve gone ahead and included it too. Enjoy!

Rooftop Pursuit x Descendant Films Present the “All I Need” MV

And here’s another Love song for you folks on the 14th of February. As was promised, Rooftop Pursuit has shared their latest music video (shot by Descendant Films) for their latest single, “All I Need”. The DC band traveled to the Big Apple for the visuals and I gotta say, I never thought NY’s grimy subway could look so charming. And at first glance I was wondering how they got Yenny from the Wonder Girls to star in the video… but nah, it is indeed, a different attractive Asian blonde – M.C. Barao. Enjoy!

For our new single, “All I Need” I wanted to write about love at first sight or the act of falling in love at a glance. Many deem it impossible, while the hopeless romantics patiently wait for that one moment. Wherever you are in the spectrum, one thing remains certain — Whether its a chance encounter on a subway train or in the eyes of a life long friend, love is out there. This Valentine’s Day, help us show the people that give us hope, strength, passion and desire that we love them. That when we lack to move in the direction we want in life, they are the ones you see. You never know, one missed moment and it could change your entire life.

Rooftop Pursuit Shares Preview of “All I Need” MV

Virginia based band, Rooftop Pursuit, will be releasing a music video for their new single “All I Need” on Valentines day in just over a week. The vid was handled by Descendant Films, who have done work for Clara, Decipher, and Jason Min, among others, in the past. This will be the band’s second official music video – can’t wait to see it in full.

Showdown: Jason Chen vs Rooftop Pursuit vs Meg & Dia vs Sam Tsui vs Cilla Chan vs Paul Kim vs New Heights

It’s been nearly a month since our last Showdown, and since everyone and their mother seems to have taken a liking to Katy Perry’s “The One That Got Away”, we thought it’d be an opportune time to have our first match-up of the year. This one is a stacked battle card with seven contenders vying for your vote for best cover. There are several repeat Showdown artists here along with a few new faces voices. Production values are all over the place, ranging from laptop webcams to full out MVs… but what matters most is your vote for who you think had the best cover. Check em out below.

Paul Kim

New Heights

Now that you’ve heard and seen them all, who do you think deserves top honors? The ever-present Jason Chen? How about lead singer of Rooftop Pursuit, Phil Good? Perhaps the sisterly team of Meg & Dia Frampton won you over? Sam Tsui always seems to be a fan favorite. However, Cilla Chan continues to show a vocal prowess beyond her college age. Paul Kim always finds a way to inject some R&B flavor into any song. Or has New Heights forever earned your fanfare?

Snapshot: Rooftop Pursuit Sound Check @ Citi Field

Rooftop Pursuit @ Citi Field

Towards the end of the baseball season, the band Rooftop Pursuithad the opportunity to perform before the Mets game against the Braves at Citi Field. Here’s a snapshot we found of part of the band from the sound check before they got to sing to an entire stadium of people. Perhaps one day, they’ll be the headliners for a crowd of that magnitude - let’s hope so because they certainly are talented enough. There’s some footage on Youtube of them performing but nothing with a great view. If you’re really interested, I’m sure you’re savvy enough to find it =).

Cheese!
