The Throwback Covers Youtube Round-Up 5/1/12

Welcome to Uno de Mayo! It’s another round-up, and since it’s already May and time seems to be flying by, we decided to scour Youtube for the covers of songs from years past. Many of these songs are two decades old or more, so these certainly qualify as ‘throwbacks’. Usher, Radiohead, Mr. Big, Selena, and more! I realize that some of you may be hearing these songs for the first time, which makes me feel a little sad and a little old, but there’s nothing like the classics!

Passion Covers “You Make Me Wanna” by Usher

Chris Cendana Covers “To Be With You” by Mr. Big

Inch Chua Covers “No Surprises” by Radiohead

The Jam Session Youtube Covers Round-Up 2/27/12

When you put a bunch of talented artists in a room with instruments and a camera, the inevitable Youtube jam session is going to occur. That’s the binding theme among today’s round-up, with all the covers being mostly raw footage of artists and their friends (and sometimes family) singing their hearts out to their favorite songs of the moment. How’s an even dozen sound to you? It’s a lot? Well you better get started!

The Whitney Houston Tribute Covers Youtube Round-Up 2/23/12

With the unfortunate passing of iconic singer Whitney Houston a couple weeks back, it’s expected to see tribute covers pop up online. Her influence over nearly every singer is undeniable as she was a voice for an entire generation of vocalists. This collection of covers by our artists are all done in her honor, with many choosing to tackle her perhaps most famous song – ” Will Always Love You”. RIP Whitney.

Manny Garcia Sings “I Will Always Love You”

Sam Tsui Sings “I Will Always Love You”

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

The In-Studio Covers Round-Up – 2/6/12

I call this the In-Studio Covers Round-Up because I had one criteria as the unifying theme. If I saw a mic in the video, I classified it as in-studio and threw it in this batch. Simple enough right? Nevermind if it was actually used for the recording, or if it’s just a prop, or whatever else. A few new faces sprinkled with some Youtube cover artist veterans. 10 videos in total. Have fun!

Jessica HO Covers “Empire State of Mind” by Alicia Keys

JRA Covers “Doing It Wrong” by Drake

Sam Tsui Covers “Domino” by Jessie J

Emmalyn Estrada Covers “Love on Top” by Beyonce

The Stringed-Instruments Youtube Round-Up – 1/12/12

OK, you may want to get some popcorn because this round-up is gigantic. How does a baker’s dozen worth of cover videos, all featuring a stringed instrument, sound? The vast majority of these videos are guitar driven but we have a couple surprises in there including a violin and a mandolin. Yea… we went there. So get your fill of the unplugged variety because the next round-up is going to be a little more Hippity Hoppity related.

Kaile Goh Covers “Perfect” by Pink

Jason Yang Covers the theme from Skyrim

Dia Frampton Covers “We’re Going to Be Friends” by White Stripes

David So Covers “Ordinary People” by John Legend

Krystle Cruz Joins Alex de Guzman & Excel Cruz for “Sh!tGotDamn”

Daygo’s Krystle Cruz has a guest spot on a new track from Alex de Guzman, “Sh!tGotDamn” also featuring Excel Cruz. The R&B joint has it’s own DSLR music video that is sharp enough though a bit uneventful. I wouldn’t have complained had they ventured out of the house for a scene or two. If you like what you hear then you can DL the track for free here.

Krystle Cruz “Fall Out of Love” MV Released

As promised, here’s the new Krystle Cruz MV for her Underneath Me single, “Fall Out of Love”. The music video is an appropriate visual pairing for this R&B jam, where most aspects of the production value turned out decently above average. It’s certainly rekindled my interest in her 1.5 yr old album, so in that sense it’s served it’s purpose well. Hopefully we’ll soon hear some new material from the singer as well.

Krystle Cruz Provides a Preview of “Fall Out of Love” MV

Last year, Krystle Cruz dropped her album Underneath Me. The the daygo based singer has decided to promote another single off the project – “Fall Out of Love”, with a new music video set to drop on December 7th. The last single Krystle promoted was “Eternity” almost a year ago so it’s good to see her becoming more active again. Perhaps this would be a good time to revisit the album or check it out for the first time if you haven’t had the chance yet.
