I love song covers. I'm not really talking American Idol per say,(there have been a few) or Youtube sensations (although I do get a kick out of the occasional Filippino group that loves Jason Mraz). I love when artists cover songs and not only sing them well, but change up the feel. Or if the artist is of a different gender and makes the lyrics take on all new meaning. I have so many that I really do enjoy. I will spread them out though, as not to make one post kind ridiculously long.
My first selection is Leona Lewis singing Snow Patrol's Run.
Leona can pretty much sing anything and make it sound amazing. She transformed this melodramatic alternative-ish pop song into a power ballad. I'm not a huge fan of vibrato, but her choice for this song is unexpected and makes it sound almost haunting. She doesn't do a lot of crazy runs just because she can. Beautiful.
