The 15 Best Youtube Covers

Youtube

Music is an art form in which you express yourself. Like many other art forms, artists take inspiration from others and put their own spin on it, make it their own. The basic concept of a cover of a song does exactly that. The artist takes a song that was originally sung by someone else, puts a few personal touches on it an makes it their own. Some examples of famous covers include: "I Will Always Love You" by Whitney Houston originally by Dolly Parton and "If I Were a Boy" by Beyonce, originally by BC Jean.

Now, if you surf the internet for any amount of time during the day, especially if your internet surfing includes Facebook or Youtube, you've probably seen the most recent viral cover of a Taylor Swift, Beyonce or Adele song, I took the time to organize some of my favorites into a list in no particular order.

1. I Can't Help Falling In Love- Twenty One Pilots, originally by Elvis Presley

2. Hello- Emblem3, originally by Adele

3. Chocolate- LandonAustin, originally by The 1975

4. Valerie- Alex Aiono and Meg DeAngelis, also by Amy Winehouse, originally by The Futons 5. Love Yourself- Thomas Rhett, originally by Justin Bieber

6. Cop Car- Sam Hunt, originally by Keith Urban, but written by Sam Hunt

7. How Great Thou Art- Carrie Underwood, originally by Yolanda Adams, but covered by many.

8. Jolene- Miley Cyrus, originally by Dolly Parton

9. Wrecking Ball- Patty Walters, originally by Miley Cyrus

10. Drown- Austin Jones, originally by Bring Me The Horizon

11. Iris- Kellin Quinn, originally by The Goo Goo Dolls

12. Creep- Daniela Andrade, originally by Radiohead

13. Rocket Man- My Morning Jacket, originally by Sir Elton John

14. Send My Love- KHS, Sam Tsui, Madilyn Bailey and Alex G. originally by Adele (Patty Cake Version)

15. Stay- Christina Grimmie, originally by Rihanna

I chose to end the countdown this way to honor Christina, she was always someone I looked up to with my love of music, her beautiful voice graced my computer screen for years, before going on The Voice and winning. She still inspires people to this day with her persistence and love for what she did. Sadly Christina was taken from the Earth far too early on June 10, 2016, in a brutal shooting in Orlando, FL at a concert.

Rest in Peace Christina, thank you for teaching us, your fans, to never give up on our dreams because one day it'll all be worth it.

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

226085

Humans and robots face off in a rock band battle with guitars and drums, under dynamic lighting.

StableDiffusion

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
