The Girls & Guitars Youtube Covers Round-Up – 4/18/12

Tonight, we decided to go with a more feminine direction, and rounded up an all-female ensemble of videos that features the classic 6-string. Everything from a song from AMC’s Mad Men to Bon Iver to Bob Dylan to Britney Spears is represented by these lovely ladies. I’ve heard some say they find it very attractive when a girl can play the guitar, if that be you, then you’ll surely enjoy this bunch.

The “Boyfriend” by Justin Bieber Cover Round-Up – 4/16/12

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 Non-Top-40 Youtube Cover Round-Up – 3/4/12

We decided to switch things up a little bit, and only share songs that aren’t exactly radio chart toppers. In fact, you’d be hard pressed to hear any of these songs on the radio (even when they first debuted). Now just because these songs weren’t spun on national airwaves doesn’t mean they should be ignored. They just didn’t have the marketing push to get them up on that national level or were sungs by niche, independent artists themselves. The only semi-exception is the medley that Jeremy Passion sings of songs by popular artists that were never promoted.

The Rihanna Youtube Covers Round-Up – 2/22/12

We’ve seen our fare share of Rihanna covers over the past couple of months, so it’s only fair that we make sure you’re kept in on the loop too. The following eight videos are all covers of the Pop/R&B princess from Barbados, ranging from complete remixes to simple webcam cover videos. The covers by Us, Jenny Suk & Michelle Martinez are particularly noteworthy, definitely standing out from the pack. Be sure to check em all out!

The Massive Remix MV Youtube Round-Up – 2/16/12

This could be our biggest round-up yet. We’ve got more music videos of covers and remixes for you, so no one-take-sessions or studio sessions here. These are those Youtube videos where the audio and video were done at different times, requiring that much more work to bring you just a few minutes of entertainment a piece. So if you’ve got some time to kill, go through this playlist of 14 (yes, FOURTEEN) MVs across various genres. Which ones are your favorites?

Yongie Phresh x Andrew Ha Remix “Lotus Flower Bomb” by Wale x Miguel

Krystle Cruz x Alex DeGuzman Cover “Marvin’s Room” by Drake

Demo of D-League Remixes “Scared Money” by N.O.R.E.

Paul Kim Covers “Princess of China” by Coldplay x Rihanna

The Youtube Collab Round-Up – 1/31/12

We figured why not end the last day of the first month with a new batch of Youtube covers. This round-up is another sampling platter of collaborations among different artists. There’s a lot of acoustic music in this particular grouping, with one particular exception. As always, the production qualities vary wildly but there should be something for everyone to enjoy.

Clara C x Joseph Vincent Cover “Shy That Way” by Tristan Prettyman x Jason Mraz

David So x Travis Graham (New Heights) Cover “Green Light” by John Legend

The Beyonce Youtube Covers Round-Up – 9/8/11

As expecter, there has been an influx of Beyonce covers lately since the release of her new album 4. Today’s round up features some of the songs off that album with covers from the usual R&B female vocal suspects and a surprising but great turn out from Passion as the sole male vocalist. After the break you can find versions of the ex-Destiny’s Child lead by Jenny Suk, Erin Paula and Stacy Dudero.

Jenny Suk Shares New Demo – “Golden”

Jenny Suk took to Tumblr to unveil some new original music that she had been working on. She’s currently in the midst of creating her debut EP and has posted up a demo version of a song called “Golden”. It’s a slow, melodic piano ballad that allows her to use her voice affectively with room to breathe. It’s a promising first listen, hopefully the rest of the material will only build on the strong start.

The All-Female Youtube Cover Round-Up – 8/13/11

Here we go folks. Just in time for the weekend we have another Youtube cover round-up with today’s common criteria being this is an all female affair. That’s right, there’s nary a Y chromosome in this batch – so what does that present us with? We have the return of Kina Grannis, a pair of songs by Jenny Suk, Cate Song doing Beyonce unplugged, and a couple of collabs by Megan Lee/Shin-B and Nessa Rica/Melissa Polinar. Check them all about below and after the break!

*Note: It’s kind of interesting to see “Uncharted” and “Best Thing I Never Had” have an eerily similar chord progression.
