Ebony Day is brilliant! She's on of my favourite British Youtube singers! I hope I get to meet her at Summer in the City on the weekend - that would be amazing! Click here to listen to one of Ebony's original songs.
I came across Martha Jane's Youtube channel by chance, when a video she had posted came up on my newsfeed. I'm so glad I clicked on the link! Her version of Drag Me Down is fantastic! She's a lesser-known Youtuber, but I think she'll go far!
7. Alex Aiono
I discovered Alex on the Youtube show Royal Crush and decided to check out his channel. As well as being insanely good looking, Alex is also a great singer!
Here are my thoughts on some of the songs that have been released recently:
1. Marvin Gaye - Charlie Puth ft. Meghan Trainor
This is brilliant. Both Charlie and Meghan have amazing voices!
2. This Summer's Gonna Hurt - Maroon 5
Maroon 5's new song is ok, but it's not as good as some of their other songs.
3. Don't Be So Hard On Yourself - Jess Glynne
I quite like this :)
4. Around The World - Natalie La Rose
I much prefer Somebody. I guess it's ok to dance to, but I don't think I'll be listening to it otherwise!
5. Body Talk - Foxes
Yay, Foxes have a new song out! :D I love this!
6. Get Stupid - Aston Merrygold
This is Aston's first single since JLS split up and I love it! It's so catchy! Reminds me of Bruno Mars with a bit of Michael Jackson thrown in, not sure if that's just me or...?
7. We Broke The Sky - Alexa Goddard
Amazing! Songs like this should get more recognition! So much better than a lot of the songs in the charts at the moment!
8. Fire N Gold - Bea Miller
She's 16? What?! Reminds me a bit Ellie Goulding and Against the Current. I think Bea will go on to be really successful.
9. Hearts On Fire - Cimorelli
Cimorelli's covers are great, and I like their original songs too. This is a good song and the lyric video is lovely. Can't wait to see the actual video!
I've been listening to a lot of covers on Youtube recently and thought I thought I'd share my favourite ones!
1. Counting Stars - Hannah Trigwell (OneRepublic)
This is such a beautiful cover! Hannah is definitely one to look out for!
2. Bad Blood - Cimorelli & The Johnsons (Taylor Swift)
I'd never heard of The Johnsons before watching this video, but I quite like them. Not to mention they're cute too! You should check out The Johnsons' Youtube channel and covers of FourFiveSeconds and Sugar.
3. Bad Blood - Alex G & Laura Evelyn Cai (Taylor Swift)
Alex G is one of my favourite Youtubers. I just love her covers! She has an amazing voice! I'm not familiar with Laura but she's good too!
4. Want To Want Me - Cimorelli (Jason Derulo)
Yep, another cover by Cimorelli! I'm pretty much obsessed with Jason Derulo's Want To Want Me, and this cover does not help! How amazing are Lisa and Lauren's voices?!
5. Want To Want Me - Megan Davis & Kyle Nachtigal (Jason Derulo)
Just incredible!
6. Cheerleader - Landon Austin & Jon D (OMI)
The vid is...odd! But I love Landon and Jon's voices so I don't suppose that matters!
7. Love Me Like You Do - Tanner Patrick & Rajiv Dhall (Ellie Goulding)
Perfect!
8. Love Me Like You Do - Kait Weston & Katherine Hughes (Ellie Goulding)
Kait and Katherine deserve so much more recognition! This cover is great!
9. Better Have My Money - Kelly Clarkson (Rihanna)
I actually think Kelly Clarkson sings this song a lot better than Rihanna!
10. Elastic Heart - Ella Eyre (Sia)
Sia and Ella Eyre are both undoubtedly incredible singers, and Ella's cover of Elastic Heart just proves it!
11. I Want You To Know - MAX & Alyson Stoner (Selena Gomez)
Wow, Alyson has come along way since Cheaper By The Dozen! I've only recently found out that she sings too!
12. Sunburn - Caroline Marquard (Ed Sheeran)
I was actually searching for covers of Uptown Funk (as you do!) when I came across this. It was on the Youtube suggestions section so I thought I might as well give it a listen. I hadn't actually heard of Caroline Marquard, and I haven't listened to Ed Sheeran's original version of Sunburn yet, but Caroline has a lovely voice and it sounds like a good song.
13. Uptown Funk - Fifth Harmony, Jasmine V, Jacob Whitesides & Mahogany Fox (Bruno Mars & Mark Ronson)
I just love this! It's so fun! However, I do think that Ally was singing a bit too high at the beginning!
14. Take Me To Church - Sofia Karlberg (Hozier)
I'll be honest and say I'm not really a fan of Hozier. But it's undeniable that Sofia's is breathtaking!
15. Ignition / Do You...Mashup - Phoebe Ryan (R. Kelly / Miguel)
These two songs may not be from this year, but Phoebe's mashup / cover is by far one of the best covers on this list! I always find myself singing along!
16. Where Are U Now - Ocean Avenue (Skrillex & Diplo with Justin Bieber)
One word: Amazing! I like the unexpected bit at the end - you'll see what I mean if you give it a listen! :p
17. Flashlight - Megan Nicole (Jessie J)
Love the video (and the song, of course!). It's so original.
18. Flashlight - Bethany Mota (Jessie J)
In terms of vocals, I'd have to say I prefer Bethany Mota's cover of Flashlight. However, they're both amazing!
