Hi Everyone !! I was browsing YouTube literally 5seconds ago and came across this Katy Perry cover of her song Firework.
I love Katy's version, but this Boyce Avenue cover may be the most beautiful version I've heard. Mind you I spend alot of time on YouTube, so I've listened to alot of them haha.
But really, Boyce Avenue strips it down, &focuses on the lyrics. I love it. SUBSCRIBE TO THEIR ACCOUNT FOLLOW THEM ON TWITTER STALK THEM ON FACEBOOK - all their links are in the video. They're Amazing. Their rendition of Tracy Chapman's Fast Car is also pretty spectacular if you ask me.
I'm also not sure why I've never heard of these guys... I think I have a new obsession.
okay, i've been keeping this youtube sensation to myself for a while now because I think his talent is amaaaaazing, &I'm enjoying it alot ALOT. but I just decided to grow up, get over it, & share this with more people. Mike Tompkins is the name of this blue-eyed cover artist. His acapella mashup of Katy Perry's Teenage Dream and Bruno Mars' Just The Way You Are earned him a mention on Perez Hilton's site and he's quickly raising in popularity. I can't really describe his style without mentioning how creative he is. With no use of instruments, Tompkins creates more than 10 beats, rhythms & sounds & SINGSSS ! He's great, hopefully you love him as much as I do.
Spread the word about him if you do, here's the link to his YouTube page : http://www.youtube.com/user/pbpproductions
ENJOYYY!
