TYLER WARD: FIREWORKS

TYLER WARD is one of the first people I started to follow on Youtube. His video covering Justin Bieber's "Baby" is what won me over. Over the past years, his popularity has grown to over hundreds of subscribers.

Ward has already an album on Itunes, and he is a prime example for how YouTube is becoming the new outlet for people to get noticed and to easily become well known. Check out his latest cover song video here:

FIREWORKS
- another great interpretation of a Katy Perry song. This time, he collaborated with equally talented Youtube artist Alex Goot...This performance is so simple and beautiful, no big things, just two amazing voices!!

MEET JULIANA!

Here's another YouTube talent worth checking out!...A 21 year old singer-songwriter named JULIANA RICHER DAILY.

Her website and Youtube channel has a lot of great stuff particularly her amazing covers from artists such as Lady Gaga, Arcade Fire to Leonard Cohen. I tried to Wiki for some profile infos but didn't find anything. With her incredible performances below, isn't she 'notable' enough to have a Wikipedia article, so she must be famous? =)

Stream the music here:

ALMOST LOVER (A Fine Frenzy cover) she has the voice of an angel...it really moved me to tears!



TEENAGE DREAMS (Katy Perry cover) all i can say this is way better than the original!



HOTEL CALIFORNIA (The Eagles cover) epic!



HIDE AND SEEK (Imogen Heap cover) she's as good as Imogen!

Meet THE BASEBALLS

New wine on old bottles and I like it!..
Sometimes a cover is much better than the original song, and this is a good example.

the baseballs- hot n cold

Who are these dudes anyway?--THE BASEBALLS are a German band founded in 2007 and become popular in covering modern pop songs with an energetic 50’s twist. Their style might be a bit gimmicky, but you’ll find it hard not to jive along, take for example with their awesome rendition of Rihanna’s UMBRELLA.

You can visit their official website here: www.thebaseballs.com

KATY PERRY: HACKENSACK

Katy Perry released her MTV Unplugged Sessions CD/DVD. It’s a series of live acoustic versions of some of her songs, as well as a cover of the Fountains of Wayne' song HACKENSACK.

One of the best song on the album. It’s a beautiful song, and Katy does a great job vocally on it. It’s definitely a worthy cover.
