At first we were considering putting together a Showdown for “Boyfriend” by the Beebz (since it’s been a while), but after looking at all the covers we’ve compiled we realized it’s just not feasible. Artists seem to love J Beezy just as much as the rest of his fans because we have 9 covers of a month old song – and I’m sure we missed a few along the way. Anyway, if you haven’t hit your “Boyfriend” replay quota yet, then have at it with the following!

The Performance Covers Youtube Round-Up – 3/29/12
It’s early Thursday here on the East, but it seemed just as good a time as any for another round-up batch. Today’s common denominator is that all of these videos are performance clips. Now that does’t necessarily mean each of these was shot in front of an audience, although some were; rather it simply means there is no lip-sync involved. The audios are comprised of a single take, though some of the the video footage is via multi-camera set-ups. That being said, you have an assortment of performance stages ranging from a bedroom to a full-scale live audience. Just for good measure, we’ve thrown in a clip that blew us away from a Korean singing competition. Check it out at the end, you won’t regret it!

The Frank Ocean Covers Round-Up – 2/3/12
Frank Ocean has been a rather popular artist to cover recently, so we threw together a quick round-up of covers by Jeremy Passion, Maribelle Anes, Erin Kim, Verseatile, New Heights, Andy Ha, and Jae Jin. There are two songs here, “Thinking About You” and “We All Try”, and some chose to switch things up while others played it by the book – singing over the official instrumental. Enjoy your Friday!

We told you we’d keep em coming! Here’s another batch of Holiday themed covers by a few R&B/Pop specialists. Legaci kicks things off by covering their employer’s (Bieber) hit, “Mistletoe”.

Showdown: Jae Jin vs Stacy Dudero
Why don’t we cap off the night with a little Showdown? This is where we have a little friendly comparison of artists that cover/remix the same songs and then vote for the one we think pulled it off better.
Frank Ocean has really made a name for himself over the course of the past year, so it’s been no surprise to see more and more covers of his music. Recently, two R&B singers – Jae Jin & Stacy Dudero – gave their own renditions of Ocean’s “Thinking About You”. We thought it’d be interesting to pit the Male vs Female vocals against each other, so check them out below.
On a macro level, there are a lot of similarities between the two renditions – but the differences are in the details. One artist took a few more R&B vocal liberties while the other stayed a little closer to the original. One had much crisper quality. One artist took a more cool, laid back approach with the other inserting just a touch more energy. So this one could be largely left to presences rather than raw tangible and quantitative differences.
So I guess the only question left at this point is… which one are you feeling more?
It’s “Another Day” by Jae Jin x J. Han x C-Note
In this DMV collaboration, singer Jae Jin recruited the help of J. Han from AMP and C-Note to join him on a track called “Another Day”. There were a lot of hands in the pot for this one with additional help coming from Fort Lee Music and Sky Muzik on the production end, among others. It’s a pretty decent track that touches upon faith and struggles – a fair way to start your Tuesday off on a contemplative note. Enjoy it? It’s a free DL via Bandcamp.
