I was looking around on YouTube and started finding a few songs which have been covered by other artists. Sure, it’s great to hear average people with great voices cover songs but it’s also interesting to hear a celebrity sing a song other than their own (by celebrity I mean an established artist who has generally reached fame and status). It’s always intriguing to hear a song sung by someone else with a different sound so I thought I’d put them all in a post for anyone else interested in hearing a few song covers! My favourites are definitely the Paramore cover of Kings of Leon, Green Day’s cover of Queen and definitely Michael Buble’s cover of Maroon 5 (listen to it!).
Paramore cover Kings of Leon – Use Somebody
Absolutely love this version of the song. I’m not sure what it is but I’m not a big fan of Kings of Leon at all (not a big fan of their sound for some reason), something about Paramore’s cover really helped me enjoy the song a lot more…
Guy Sebastian covers Miley Cyrus – The Climb
He does a pretty good job, as is to be expected by the brilliant voice he has!
Daughtry covers Lady Gaga – Poker Face
It might not match the original but I still enjoyed this acoustic version!
Green Day covers Queen – We Are the Champions
I enjoyed this! It would have been amazing to be in that crowd…
Michael Buble covers Maroon 5 – This Love
Definitely not as good as the original. Please – listen to it at least until the second verse, it becomes brilliant!!!
Mandy Moore covers Rhianna – Umbrella
Totally different sound when Mandy Moore covers this song. I’m not a big fan of either version but it was interesting enough to include here.
Katy Perry covers Sam Sparro – Black and Gold
Not a big fan of either song but thought Katy Perry did it quite well.
