dunno if she strictly counts as amateur (must've had hella voice lessons), but wow, this catswillrule girl's voice is crazy beautiful. in fairness I'm a sucker for ppl with really bright, clear voices.

I haven't heard the originals of these songs (or even heard of the artists) so I have no idea how they might compare.

intense ex-metal dude (or hardcore dude? gotta be one or the other) covers Nick Lowe on acoustic guitar. he really nails the solo, and the hair toss he does toward the end is righteous, even though he has terrible hair.

Love the original so much; the covers I've seen not so much. But I really like how she made it mopey without turning it into Cat Power.

David the singer from Newcastle sings songs from the charts accompanied by Alan on drum

this is 'Always On My Mind' and it's really something

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UshOr7i8KXk

Vlogs from other credible bands such as Shed Seven (DJ Mencap), Thursday, 9 February 2017 18:16 (seven years ago) link

David and Alan have been uploading their Jandek-esque atonal interpretations of classic pop covers at the rate of one or two a week for several years, most have viewing figures in the low tens or less: http://www.youtube.com/user/allycomber/videos

one thing I especially like is that they don't let you know what song they're tackling today in the upload title, it's a total lucky dip

Even more frightening than this are the teenagers who translate their blog entries into 5-6 minute videos where they just talk in front of their webcam. Channel 101 better watch their back.
