Bridget Kelly Meets King of Leon's "Use Somebody"

"Use Somebody" is one of the hottest songs of the moment. There are so many great acts out there covering it, adding their own sound.

Earlier I posted two clips. The first was a cover of "Use Somebody" by Paramore. The second relevant post was Jay-Z and Bridget Kelly doing "Empire State of Mind" on the Jonathan Ross show.

Combine the two and BAM! You get this great video:




She turns this great rock song into a super sexy ballad. I love it! It is amazing! Her voice is so smooth and seductive. And I also love the way the video was shot - the lighting, the piano off in the background. I see a lot more of Bridget Kelly in our musical future.

I think I may be in love....

Jay Z (Ft Bridget Kelly) - Empire State of Mind

While I am a fan of Jay-Z, I'm a mega huge fan of Alicia Keys. I was super excited to hear that they were doing a duet for Jay-Z's last album. And I was not wrong, the song "Empire State of Mind" is amazing, as I'm sure you all have heard.

But I was pleasantly surprised by Bridget Kelly. She is on tour with Jay-Z and does Alicia's parts in the song at a talk show in the UK called Friday Night with Jonathan Ross. Like I said, I'm a big fan of Alicia Keys, but whoa! Bridget Kelly is amazing! I mean, if Jay-Z asks you to fill in for Alicia Keys, you've got to be good, right?

What do you all think of Bridget Kelly?

Girls Aloud Meets James Morrison's "Broken Strings"

Girls Aloud are one of the UK's most popular girl band. They have had 20 consecutive top 10 singles. They are not only beautiful, but they are talented. They can really sing. Some might call them a guilty pleasure, but not so for me. I am a fan, no guilt about it. Did I mention they are insanely gorgeous?!

During their last tour, supporting their brilliant album Out Of Control, the girls did a cover of "Broken Stings", originally done by James Morrison and Nelly Furtado. The Out Of Control Tour DVD is being released in the UK on the 5th of October.

Here is the video for "Broken Strings"

And how awesome is Nadine's accent? (She is from Ireland and introduces the song).

Paramore Meets Kings Of Leon's "Use Somebody"

I must say that I am not a huge fan of Paramore. Although I like two of their radio friendly singles, I wouldn't consider myself a fan. But I have to give credit where it is due, and Hayley sounds amazing on this cover track.

"Only By The Night" by Kings of Leon, on the other hand, is a brilliant record. The band has had a string of hits in Europe, but this was the album that put the band on the map in the US. They are finally getting their dues and respect, and rightfully so. The album is filled with great songs, including the new single, Use Somebody.

Paramore did a cover of it for Radio 1s Live Lounge, and I must say that I am actually really impressed by the vocals and actually like this tune. It isn't as good as Kings of Leon, but it's good.

The Veronicas Meet The Muse - "The Uprising"

The Veronicas are one of Austrailia's most successful pop duo/band. Their music tends to sway on the pop side of the spectrum, and they have taken some criticism for that. But they do write their own lyrics and have written for several other artists. And they are brilliant singers, pulling off some great notes, and they can hold their own performing live. Their latest album, Hook Me Up, is one of my favorites.

Speaking of favorites, Radio 1's Live Lounge never dissappoints. You've got live music, great acts and amazing covers/renditions.

Case in point: The Veronicas doing "The Uprising", the new smash hit single from The Muse and their latest album, The Resistance.
