Description
This is a cover music battle! Post what you believe to be the best covers of songs!
You know the drill....one song per round.
Round 1
Chris Daughtry covering Phil Collin's "In the Air Tonight."
Pick between YouTube, Spotify and Apple Music. If you pay for it, you're getting the true HQ quality, if you pay for neither of the three then enjoy the YT video (or maybe Amazon Music or something, I'm going for the 3 major ones).
Song Name: Burn
Original Artist: Ellie Goulding
New Artists: Under the label PostModernJukebox are the following...
- Robyn Adele Anderson - vocals (center)
- Cristina Gatti - vocals (left)
- Ashley Stroud - vocals (right)
- Stefan Zeniuk - Flame-O-Phone
- Adam Kubota - bass
- Allan Mednard - drums
- Scott Bradlee - piano
Round 2
Song Name: Dream On
Original Artist: Aerosmith
New Artist: Blacktop Mojo
Song Name: Burn
Original Artists: Camila Cabello ft. Young Thug
New Artists: Pentatonix
In case the role descriptions confuse you, it's an Acapella Cover:
- Scott Hoying (hybrid vocalist who transforms into support while Mitch and Kirstin take over)
- Mitch Grassi (high pitched vocalist switching into support melody)
- Kirstin Maldonado (melodic support ~ fluid)
- Kevin Olusola (bass who transforms into 'trumpeteer' at one point)
- Matt Sallee (supporti ~ fluid instrument)
Round 3
Song Name: The sound of silence
Original Artist: Simon and Garfunkle
New Artist: Disturbed
NOTE: FROM ALL OTHER THINGS AVAILABLE IN ROUND 2 IT SHOULD BE OBVIOUS THAT I MEANT THE SONG NAME IS 'HAVANA' and not 'Burn' but the song was such fire that my brain assumed it was burning... >.>
“The Prodigy" on an Acoustic Guitar - Luca Stricagnoli
Original Artist: The Prodigy
This is a hybrid cover and if that's not allowed or if voters hate it, whatever amirite? With Ramshutu & Co. out to cement me as a bottom-tier rated debater I have nothing to lose anymore by moves like this. :) Hope it impresses enough of you.
I paste from description something for credit:

These are the songs and appropriate credit for the cover of The Prodigy (as an artist) by this individual. It is fantastically done and one of the best covers I have ever seen in actual performance on a screen.
