The Piano Ballad Youtube Covers Round-Up – 5/22/13

I’m a sucker for a good piano ballad, especially because you don’t hear them quite as often on the radio anymore. So if you’re in the mood for something a little more subdued in tempo but still full of emotion over the sound of the good ol’ black & whites, then I think you’ll enjoy this round up. The first few girls in particular killed it.

Did You Catch Jessica Sanchez on Glee?

If you’re either a Jessica Sanchez or a Glee fan, then you’d be remiss if you didn’t listen/watch the following. Towards the end of the season, Jessica Sanchez made her appearance on the hit show Glee as the character Frida Romero. She led her school’s team with their performances of “Clarity” and “Wings”. You know what? The kid killed it with ease.

The “Stay” Covers Youtube Round-Up – 5/16/13

In my opinion, Rihanna’s “Stay” is one of her better songs to be released. It looks like I’m not alone with this notion because we have a total of 11 Youtube videos of artists who chose to cover the tune. That being said, the majority chose to go the same route as the original, sticking to a simple piano backdrop or even the same instrumental. But there are a couple unique gems in there that I think you’ll enjoy.

The Songs of Faith Youtube Cover Round-Up – 4/7/13

Happy Sunday, everyone. Given the day of the week, I thought it’d be fitting sharing a few covers of our artists expressing aspects of their Faith through song. They cover a number of well known Worship tunes, both old (some very old) and new. Regardless of subject matter, I think we can all appreciate an honest, heartfelt song when we hear one. Well, here’s six.

Worst Ever: Gizmodo Renames Jason Yang to Jason Wang

Untitled-2

OK, to be fair, this really isn’t that big a deal. It’s likely the result of a typo of a blogger rushing to get a post up as Game of Thrones is set to air… but I have to admit I was mildly amused at the error. Lily Newman wrote a post on Gizmodo today featuring Jason Yang and his amazing Game of Thrones theme cover, but decided to give him a name change and call him Wang. We get it, mistakes happen, no judgement – it’s just an unfortunate mishap for Jason. I mean, his name is in the friggn Youtube channel (JasonYangViolin)After all, Madonna’s folks got his name right enough to be able to contact him and bring him on tour, that’s gotta count for something right? I imagine Giz will make the correction shortly.

Anyway, it’s been ages since we’ve had a Worst Ever feature – so this’ll have to do for now.

[update] They’ve made the corrections
