Firework & Grenade – Sam Tsui
He tends to oversing, but you have to admit the boy’s got pipes. He likes melodrama in his covers, and he’s got spades on this one!
Part Of Your World – Darren Criss
He has an earlier version, the one he recorded in his room, but this one is better. Maybe he’s really a performer, he plays off of the energy of the people around him, so he seems more alive.
F*ck You – StitchedElf
This is the cutest lesbian ukelele version of a song with the word “f*ck” in it.
With You – Justin Bieber
Not really a fan, but I’ve never seen any pre-One Time videos from Justin Bieber. So I was just curious to see.
Shape Of My Heart – Sting
Okay, this is NOT a cover, because Shape Of My Heart is Sting’s song, but I really just love this version. I’ve forgotten just how much I love this song, and the album it came from, Ten Summoner’s Tales.
Okay here’s a panggulo:
Like A G6 – Keenan Cahill
soooo love Darren..specially now he’s in Glee.
I couldn’t agree more that Sam Tsui got some power voice there BUT his reactions while singing are kinda OA. It’s distracting. I saw one of his covers in youtube too, I think it was Hey Soul Sister. He’s good but again, the facial expressions were distracting me.
Darren Criss… *swoons* (slaps self to reality) sorry about that. I agree again with you, Chico that he’s a performer. That’s a way better video and performance than the older one which he has quite puffy curly hair (which is his trademark daw, btw). He writes songs too. Have you seen their theater and parody version of Harry Potter? It’s in youtube too. He wrote most of the songs there and he played Harry (with his trademark curly hair, of course).
I heard he’s coming here in our country THIS month!!! Can you and Delle invite him in RX or in Fran’s Concert Series… pretty please?
I’ve been a fan of some youtube sensations lately and Sam Tsui’s one of them.. but I don’t like that mash up except for the Firework part.. my favorite, of all the covers I’ve seen and heard lately is his version of Just a Dream with Christina Grimmie, another sensation who ranked 15 among 50 artists in the Billboard. so much better than the original. check it out here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a2RA0vsZXf8
Can’t agree with you more on the Just a Dream Cover. I am also loving it.
hey chico!! you should check out Sam Tsui’s cover mash-up of Love The Way You Lie / Dynamite it’s really good, also his duet of Nelly’s Just A Dream with Christina Grimmie. i think much of the credit goes to his producer Kurt Schneider for arranging the songs though. =D
FYI, guys. Darren Criss is actually half Filipino. Another reason (besides Charice) why Filipinos should be proud and keep watching Glee! Woot!!!
I Love Sam Tsui..
Sam Tsui is really great. Here’s another video he has for Just a Dream of Nelly.
I love this cover. I hope you’ll like it too.
like it
Hey chico, there is a Filipino guy his name is Gabe Bondoc and he has done a lot of good covers like Sam Tsui.
Here is one of his good covers. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2VF4nh7hEeg
