First off, I really don’t think this video is funny. But, though I have nothing against granpa Dennis Brown about singing in front of the Karaoke, it is still singing in front of the Karaoke. I mean, I’ve seen a lot of people sing in front of the box making the song their own, not only copying the exact tone, phrasing, and even the huskiness that the original singer had.
Here’s Dennis Brown for “If Everyday Was Like Christmas”, originally sung by The King himself, Elvis Presley.
Well, on the lighter side, at least granpa knows how to sing. He just doesn’t know how to make his own style and be contemporary with what YouTube viewers like me are expecting. Another plus for having “that much” videos in his YouTube channel (he has 66 of them as of press time).
At least, he still tries to prove that YouTube is a moms and pops thing.
Searching for all possible Christmas covers in YouTube led me to this sweet-singing girl named Lana McKissack. Of course, “The Christmas Song”, if not “White Christmas”, has been the most covered song ever in the music industry, and I seem to notice that most artists who does a Christmas album never forget to include this in their track list.
Anyway, before I babble enough to make a novel, here’s Lana for her version of “The Christmas Song”.
What can I say, the girl really knows how to sing. And she really made the song her own, albeit a few diction problems at the start of the song. But she really is cute, don’t you guys think?
This is a Jason Mraz and Tristan Prettyman Christmas song, and to tell you honestly, even if I listen to Jason Mraz’s songs, I haven’t heard this song yet until now.
Anyway, here’s YT user Adielynn singing her cover version of “All I Want for Christmas”
She seems to be enjoying singing this song. Her guitar playing is normal (I’m trying to be critical about it, but I just can’t), and her voice is kinda shy. But what’s for sure is I enjoyed watching this video.
This one’s a bit short, and I really wished she sang it fully. Well actuaqlly, this is the first time I’ve ever heard this song, so I don’t really know what “full” is. Anyways, here’s Kathleen Badar for her cover of “This Christmas.”
I really like this girl. She sings it with glee and cheer, it made my day a bit sunnier (there’s a typhoon coming here, so it’s pretty dark as of the moment here in the Philippines). In case you guys dunno, RnB is really popular here in Manila, but it’s not that kind of RnB you hear from US radio stations.
What do you guys think?
UPDATE: She’s not staying here in Manila. Apparently, her YouTube channel says she is staying in the United States. Wonder if she really is part Filipina (a possible coveted artist for next month?).
There is this song I keep on listening in iMeem.com.
Ever since I watched that darned movie “Enchanted” from Walt Disney, this song kept on ringing in my ears. I just can’t seem to take it out of my head. It sounded like any other Disney Movie theme song, but what hit me is the lyrics.
For those who find this song worthy of the Cove Challenge, please send me your YouTube video links through the email address you’ll find in the sidebar. As of press time, no one has done it yet.
