The International Cover/Remix Round-Up 2/2/12
We decided to go international with this round-up. Each of these songs are from Asian countries and covered by some of your favorite stateside artists. K-Pop? J-Pop? C-Pop? It’s all here, plus multiple genres are represented too – so you get double the variety. 1 Million Bonus points if you can understand every word sung in these songs!

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
Just ‘Cause: The Jubilee Project Presents “Be the Change”
The great folks at the Jubilee Project always tends to put together great videos, focusing on amazing themes and causes. Their latest project puts some of our favorite artists and Youtube stars on the spot, asking them what is important to them and what they would like to see change and happen in this world. There is a ton of talent in this clip, and it encourages you to join the conversation – perhaps in the hope that once we talk about it, we just might be able to take the next step and do something about it.
For the new year, The Jubilee Project took some time to interview some YT friends about the changes that they would like to see in the world. We really believe that life is a gift and ordinary people can do extraordinary things. We hope that this video encourages you to live life to the fullest this year and be the change you want to see in the world.
Twitter us @jubileeproject with your responses #BetheChange – What is one thing you’d like to see changed in the world? What is one organization/cause you feel strongly about? What would you do if you had one last day to live?
Special thanks to BU CSA Takeout and all of the YT stars that took part in this video.

The Holiday Cover Round-Up Part 5
Less than a week left til Christmas… bring on the covers! It’s our 5th Holiday round-up with appearances by Lily Bee, Jayesslee, Kat Badar, TNB, Erin Kim, Megan Lee, and Verseatile. Get your egg nog ready and munch on some candy canes cause there’s a good amount of music here. Enjoy!
Lily Bee Covers “A Snow Globe Christmas” by Pink Martini
Jayesslee Covers “The Christmas Song”
Showdown: New Heights vs Megan Lee vs Victor Kim x Andy Lange
Welcome to another episode of Showdown, 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.
We were kind of surprised ourselves when we realized that we’ve never had a showdown for the song “Someone Like You” by Adele. A lot of artists have already covered the song, but we still had a few more to share so rather then bunching them up in a round-up – we decided to do a quick little Showdown feature. Some members of the band New Heights are going up against young Megan Lee and a tag team of Victor Kim and Andy Lange. Theres something to appreciate from all the covers but the question is; which one did you enjoy the most?
Victor Kim x Andy Lange
Did New Heights tug at your heart strings? Or maybe Megan Lee’s beyond-her-age vocals gave you goosebumps? How about the dynamic team of Victor & Andy? Put in your vote for your favorite so the winner can sleep just a little bit more soundly knowing they’ve won an informal competition that doesn’t really matter all that much. It’s all in good fun though!
Megan Lee Shares the Lyric Video for “In the Future”
“In the Future” is a song that Megan Lee wrote a couple years back to encourage and support her younger sister. It’s a touching, heart warming song that reveals the likely importance of family in her life. Sappy, you say? Perhaps, but I’d argue that was completely the point. Considering that Lee wrote this at such a young age, I’d say this is a fairly impressive piece of work.
Mega Youtube Cover Round-Up – 10/12/2011
This here’s a big one. A dozen Youtube covers and remixes for your viewing/listening enjoyment. Some are better than others, in general I’ve loosely ordered them in descending order starting with the most enjoyed first. You all already know how I feel about the superfluous number of covers out there but regardless, don’t let me stop you!
Mike Isberto Covers “Stereo Hearts” by Gym Class Heroes x Adam Levine
Andy Suzuki & The Method Cover “Iris” by the Goo Goo Dolls
Discover Megan Lee’s “Destiny” [Music Video]
The youthful Megan Lee has decided to celebrate her birthday with the launch of her new music video for her single, “Destiny“. As the previously released preview suggested, the teen star and her team chose to go a different route this time by going in a slightly more mature direction to match the inspirational tone of the track – a good choice. And to be quite frank, this may be my favorite visual release by Megan yet. Not a bad way to kick off a bday, and we at a-Tunes certainly wish her a very happy one!
Snapshot: Megan Lee & 2NE1
Snapshot time! Megan Lee recently participated in a contest hosted by Korean pop group 2NE1 where entrants made a cover video and the top selection would earn them the opportunity to meet the group. It’s just a situation of an artist herself, being a fan of music first and foremost. Besides, she’s a teenager! She’s entitled to geek out in the presence of her musical role models. Anyway, I came across the picture above on MyNinja’s blog and thought it’d be worth sharing with the rest of you. Perhaps some day Meagan will be in 2NE1′s shoes, with an international fan pawning at the chance to meet her.
As a little bonus check out her vlog entry on the entire ordeal after the break.
