Sam Tsui, Summer Pop Medley

Thursday, July 15th, 2010

Sam Tsui

facebook.com/SamTsuiMusic

This little gem is floating around Tumblr and it blew my mind.  Talk about a Summer Hits medley!

Sam Tsui is currently an undergrad from Yale who started covering songs on youtube and became one of those as-seen-on-youtube stars doing covers of famous songs.

If it wasn’t for this nicely done little medley, I wouldn’t have looked twice.  But he has a very nice voice and LOVE what he did with these songs.  He mixes in B.O.B ft. Hayley Williams – Airplanes, Lady Gaga – Alejandro, Ke$ha – Your Love Is My Drug, Katy Perry – California Girls, and Usher – OMG.

Listen up!

Rock goes Pop

Thursday, September 3rd, 2009

I love when rock, or pop rock, bands cover r&b, pop, hip-hop songs.

My friend Cody manages a band called Fate Under Fire who covered Soulja Boy’s “Kiss me Through the Phone” which can be found here: http://fateunderfire.bandcamp.com/

Of course there’s the Punk goes Pop but I wanted to see what smaller bands have covered anything in this genre and I came across a few others.  Let me know if there’s any more I’m missing.  (I’m sure there is!)

There For Tomorrow – “Ice Box” (Omarion)

ok so I just realized this was on Punk goes Pop but oh well.

Karate High School – “Blame It” (Jamie Foxx)
http://www.myspace.com/karatehighschool

The White Tie Affair – “Heartless” & “Got Money” (Kanye West & Lil Wayne)
So these weren’t recorded but if you catch them live there’s a pretty good chance you’ll see them do either of these.

Dashboard Confessional – “So What” (Pink)

and the infamous, A Day To Remember – “Since You’ve Been Gone” (Kelly Clarkson)

I want more!  Anyone??  None that were in a Fearless comp though…
