Hi There :)

I love a cover song. It just like another way to enjoy a song. Sometimes the cover one is better than the original, sometimes worse, but it's not the problem. Just stop saying that "the Original version is better than the cover". Yeah, because whoever say that are blinded by a fanatic point of view. Music is too universal just to be excused better or not. Be Professional. Haha.

And there are some cover songs I really love. Check this out! :p

~ Umbrella by Rihanna, cover by Marie Digby ~

Well, Marie is just another youtube's phenomenon. She's known by this Umbrellas videos. 13 million views, can you imagine that? lol. But, she is not only singing somebody else song, but also she make her own. Her song is nice, very true and very ... sunny (I hope you know what I mean ._.). Finally, someone recognize her talent and BAM!! Now she has 3 albums, one in Japanese. Yeah, she's half Japanese. That's explain her figure and hair color. In spite that, she's very beautiful and very humble. I love her and her music very much.

~ Love Song by The Cure, cover by 311 ~

You should know that I do love The Cure version too. But, the way Robert Smith sing, always make me lost of hope and makes me wanna die soon. Haha. But as I said before, 311 brings a new color to this song. A little bit cheers that makes you wanna dance a little but didn't miss The Cure touch here. Where this song commented what the love is and the sound of hopelessness (lol). Well, I like them both. Really. Btw, someone told me, it's not reggae, it's dub.

~ Save The Last Dance for Me by The Drifters, cover by Michael Buble ~

Michael Buble is a good and talented musician. Beside this cover, he also sing many songs that already popularize by other singer. Cry Me a River from Justin Timberlake, You and I by Stevie Wonder, Me and Mrs. Jones by Billy Paul and many more. He served it in another way, different from the original singer, yeah, different but beautiful too. Enjoy :)

~ Bersandar by White Shoes and The Couples Company, cover by Erlend Oye (Kings of Convenience) ~

I'm dying when I watch this. I never know that Erlend Oye is fluent in Indonesia (however just a bit. lol) Oh. I'm so uuuuuunnnnnlucky that I can't watch him live *crying in the corner* Well, the rumour said that Mr. Oye *uhukk* get a feeling with Sari--White Shoes's vocalist. Oh geez, since when this blog becoming an infotainment and gossip blog? *shot*
