Beyonce - "Sweet Dreams" from "I Am... Yours. An Intimate Performance at Wynn Las Vegas"

Beyonce's music is constantly stuck in my head. I will say that I'm not a fan of all her work, but "Halo" is one of my favorite songs of the year (especially the version by Diana Vickers). And "Sweet Dreams" is also up there, it's such a great song. On the 23rd of November she will be releasing a CD/DVD called "I Am... Yours. An Intimate Performance at Wynn Las Vegas". So far I have only seen/heard "Sweet Dreams" from that show and it is amazing. It is acoustic and really beautiful and haunting. Hopefully the rest of the show is as stripped and vulnerable as this is, although I'm not sure if "Single Ladies" will work acoustically. But with Beyonce, you never know.

Florence and The Machine Meets Beyonce's "Halo" on Radio1 Live Lounge

Last week, I wrote about Florence and The Machines, Check out this video of the band covering Beyonce's "Halo" on Radio1 Live Lounge.

The lead singer looks pale and scary, but I really like her rendition. It has a really great folk feel to it. It sounds very raw and unpolished, and I really like it. What do you think?

"Halo" is a great song and Beyonce does a great job, but I think I enjoy Diana Vicker's performance the most. Which version do you prefer?

(And I hear that Glee is going to be doing this song in a future episode... I can't wait to hear it!)

Diana Vickers Meets Beyonce's "Halo"

As you will soon discover, I am very impressed by Diana Vickers and cannot wait for her to finish and release her new album. In the meantime, I will have to settle on the covers. Here is an amazing cover of "Halo" originally done by Beyonce.




While I really enjoy the original, I think I may prefer Diana Vickers' version over the original. Beyonce's version is very strong and powerful, while Diana's has a different vibe, it's softer and has a sense of vulnerability that I enjoy. The vocals are also not perfect, which adds to the vulnerability and appeal.
