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

There's a lot of buzz going on in the entertainment world lately...

There's the very successful comeback album of my all-time fave diva Whitney Houston, the inclusion of Ellen DeGeneres as the new judge of American Idol, the 2009 VMA Music Awards brou haha, the amazing US TV debut of internet sensation Susan Boyle, the death of a great actor Patrick Swayze, Chris Brown's ala Boy George drama...and the latest, the freshest chizmax from the web, the split-up of pop rock superstar Avril Lavigne and her husband for three years, Deryck Whibley from Sum 41. (Read the details here.)

And speaking of Avril Lavigne, she has a quite good collection of cover songs, and I like it very much coz she work it acoustically and "owned" it. Click the play button and hear what i mean:
