Music is one of my passions, I have enjoyed it as long as I can remember. I used to want to be a singer when I was growing up. I was in choir during Jr. High and High School (so 6 years). I wanted to continue that, but it didn’t happen. I was given the idea to write about the best (or in this case it will be my favorite) cover songs. During my high school years, our choirs would have a pop concert and we would sing popular songs. So, I think sharing my favorite cover songs would be a fun task.
What are your favorite cover songs? Feel free to share them! Don’t forget to vote for your favorites if they are on this list too!
#1 Disturbed – The Sound Of Silence [Official Music Video]
I remember when this came out in 1964, I was 8 and my older sister wore this song out on her 45 record player. I love this version by Disturbed.
woodywood143#2 Tracy Chapman & Eric Clapton – Give Me One Reason (1999)
Kim_Johnson#3 Somebody That I Used to Know – Walk off the Earth
#4 Amy Winehouse – Valerie Cover by @Rudy_Currence
'Id like to introduce you all to a friend of mine named Rudy Currence. We met on Twitter around six years ago. This is his cover of Amy Winehouse's "Valerie". Rudy has since then found his own style and is doing very well.
#5 Katy Perry – Chained to the Rhythm
I have heard some mixed reviews about the original song. I think Madilyn does a great cover of the song however. She has a beautiful voice, and is very talented.
#6 Krista Nicole – If I Die Young – The Band Perry Acoustic Cover
Here is another cover artist with a lot of talent. I haven't seen her post anything new in 3 years, so I wonder what she's doing now. This song is beautiful though, and she does an amazing job.
#7 Where Corn Don’t Grow – Waylon Jennings & Travis Tritt
James Dupre is a very talented singer. He does a lot of original songs on his YouTube channel now. This is one of his best covers though. His voice just works really well with it (in my opinion).
#8 Jason Derulo – Want To Want Me / I Want You To Want Me MASHUP (Andie Case Cover)
This song was never one of my favorites, but this cover is amazing. Andie Case is a singer with a beautiful voice. Her covers that she does in the car are a lot of fun to watch too!
#9 Skinny Love – Bon Iver (Cover)
This is one of my choices that I know a lot may not enjoy as much. This guy has a really good voice, and this is a beautiful song. Very touching song, one of my favorites. What do you think of it?
#10 Mark Ronson – Bruno Mars – Uptown Funk – Nick Pitera (A cappella Cover)
Nick Pitera is a really good cover artist. I think he does have some original songs as well. His cover style is so interesting and unique. I love when he sings the different parts of the song in different keys. They come together as if he had a whole group singing with him.
