SARA BAREILLES covers Coldplay hit!

The beautiful and talented SARA BAREILLES performs a gorgeous live piano-and-vocal cover of Coldplay's mellow hit "YELLOW" at IHeartRadio. I've seen so many covers of this song, some pretty good and others average. Sara's version is definitely one of the best! Watch the performance below.

TAKE ON ME...

Check out SARA BAREILLES version of A-ha's 1985 charttopper hit single Take On Me...I remember when the band used to sing this song it was a classic but listening to Sara's rendition makes it timeless.

SINGLE LADIES by Sara Bareilles

You might remember singer/songwriter SARA BAREILLES from her earworm "Love Song" from a few years back. But now, as part of Billboard Mashup Monday live set, she perform a jazzy cover of Beyonce's 2008 smash hit, Single Ladies.

“I happen to love that song very much but also one of my favorite things to do if I’m going to do a cover of a song is I want to completely reinterpret it,” Sara explained. “It would be hard to imagine it as a doo-wopy voice and piano kind of song, so I started fooling around with that on the piano and it ended up being something super fun and it’s really fun to sing.”

Watch her performance here:


Don't forget also to check out Sara Bareilles' current hit single "King of Anything", the first track from her new album Kaleidoscope Heart out September 2, 2010 (US). =O

BEATLES COVERS THAT WILL BLOW UR MIND

I thought it would be fun to put together a list of some of the best BEATLES covers out there. They are the most prolific group in the history of popular music and its difficult not to want to give them a space here (not to mention the fact that they wrote a ton of spectacular songs). And its really a big challenge for me to find the flowers amidst the thorns. My choice is geared more towards mainstream artists but I also included some indie musicians to diversify the list.



SHERYL CROW- MOTHER NATURE'S SON best cover rendition from a female artist. As always, Sheryl is amazing!





EDDIE VEDDER (from Pearl Jam)- YOU'VE GOT TO HIDE UR LOVE AWAY i love this man!...Vedder is a Lennon reincarnated!



STEREOPHONICS- DONT LET ME DOWN wish ko na sana ako na lang si Chantal Kreviazuk!







FIONA APPLE- ACROSS THE UNIVERSE phenominal cover!...one of my fave Beatles song!







SARA MACLACHLAN- BLACKBIRD another great take from a very talented artist like Sara...like the way she "owned" the song!





ELLIOT SMITH- BECAUSE



BOYZ II MEN- YESTERDAY



BEN HARPER- STRAWBERRY FIELDS FOREVER



ALISON KRAUSS- I WILL



SARA BAREILLES- OH DARLING
