The lovely Yahzarah covered “Billie Jean” this past weekend at the Soul Sista Summit. Amazing performance…Yahzarah has a beautiful voice.

Yeah I know this wasn’t a recent performance but because we are still honoring Michael Jackson, I thought it was appropriate to post. Alicia Keys always gives a amazing performance, and this is one of them…great cover of “Human Nature.”
Check out Dwele’s tribute to Michael Jackson where he remixes and recreates “Human Nature” from scratch. Very creative, but what can you expect from Dwele…
At one of Beyonce’s recent shows, she covered one of my FAVORITE Michael Jackson’s songs “I Can’t Help It.” She begins singing at the 1:37 mark. Great cover!
Oh, I just love this. The Foreign exchange took it a step further at a recent show and put their own twist to Soulja Boy “Turn My Swag On” and OJ Da Juiceman wack song. As Phonte explains in the video “you can take any ignorant song, and make it into a neo-soul song.” I see you Yahzarah…
Lady Gaga covers her friend Kanye’s single – Heartless at a recent show. The video shows just her singing the chorus but still not bad. Kanye and Lady Gaga are scheduled to go on tour this summer.
Not great, but not bad Jeremih. Check out “Mr. Birthday Sex” cover a Stevie Wonder classic, ‘Ribbon In The Sky.”
Chrisette Michele taped her own Pepsi Smash session and not only did she perform her hits but she also did a cover for No Doubt’s “Don’t Speak.” Chrisette sounds amazing! I don’t know if I like her version or the original better but she did a great job.
Kris Allen performed Kanye’s hit, Heartless and few nights ago on Idol and he did an amazing job! Better than the original if you ask me.
Twitter never fails. I came across this video that someone posted on Twitter. It’s Solange covering Bjork’s “It’s Oh So Quiet”. Now I never heard the original song before so I had to pull it up on youtube and give it a listen. Solo is doing her thing as a artist. She has covered songs from different genres like Coldplay and now Bjork. And let’s not forget that she does an amazing job covering these songs. Check out her performance below. The video was taken earlier this week in Belgium. You can also watch Bjork version below.
I just love when artists step outside the box and explore the art of music – for example, Phonte of Little Brother, Kanye and now Mos Def. We need more artists that show their creativity. The art of music has no boundaries and Mos Def showcased that very well on his cover to Kanye West “Say You Will.” This is live audio of the song and is just pure hotness. Let us know what you think.
Here are a couple of good covers of Kanye West’s hit single “Heartless” performed by The Fray, which is a Grammy Award- nominated four-piece piano rock band based out of Denver, Colorado and the talented Ms. Melanie Fiona, who is a Canadian singer/ songwriter from Toronto. Both versions are full of intensity and feeling and, in my opinion, they have done an excellent job covering this song. Let MMIM know which you may like better.
Shout out to my friend for putting me on. Apparently way back Keri Hilson covered Kelly Clarkson’s Since You’ve Been Gone. In my opinion she kills it! Let MMIM know what you think.
I like Lady GaGa but I’m just not feeling her version of Coldplay’s “Viva La Vida”. I like her own spin she put on the track but I’m just too in love with the original that I can’t give the “Lady” a thumbs up.
But let’s rewind a bit…back to Solange’s cover of “Viva La Vida”. Hers is the best out of the two – in my opinion. She did an awesome job. Solange rocks!
Let us know which one you like better or if you just prefer the original.
