  • Richie Castellano - Bohemian Rhapsody

    Wow. This guy split-screens the crap out of Bohemian Rhapsody. He must have played those riffs 10,000 times. He uses some awesomely cheesy video production tricks, adding the right amount of DIY corniness to a viral cover video. Is he worthy of Queen's crown?

  • NicholasCage09 - Pumped Up Kicks (Foster the People)

    Nicole, also known on Youtube as NicholasCage09, is a dedicated Youtube Cover Artist. Having begun uploading videos a year ago, she has accumulated over 14 million views and 66,000 subscribers. And there's a reason for that. The German native has covered everyone from Phantom Planet to Kei$ha, always adding her own twist to it. Here, we listen as she covers "Pumped Up Kicks" by Foster the People. Her voice is recalls other powerful 21st century female singer/songwriters, like Bareilles or Ingrid Michaelson. And... she can whistle. What do you think? Worth the vote?

  • Ahmir - Perfect (Pink)

    Ahmir was previously featured on BYC, in a cover of Rihanna performed with English youtube cover artist Alexa Goddard. I dug a little deeper into the Ahmir story, and found this great video. Ahmir gained substantial popularity after releasing this cover of Pink's "Perfect" when it caught the attention of Huffington Post as a perfect anti-bullying PSA. The vocals are undeniably well-performed, evoking All-4-One and Boyz 2 Men. The concept is great - accommodating the original meaning behind Pink's lyrics to make a powerful point about bullying. This fits the Best Youtube Cover mantra of "Reimagining the Mainstream" perfectly. The video itself is pretty cool too. It's got a home-made vibe of real town kids acting in the video, but the production is high-quality. I don't know about you guys, but I give this one an ...

  • Jono (feat. Tyler Ward) - House of the Rising Sun (The Animals)

    "House of the Rising Sun" is a classic folk-rock song by The Animals, a product of the British Invasion. It is considered by some as the first folk-rock hit. Most people don't know that it was originally an English folk song about a brothel in Soho, London and dates back to the Sixteenth Century before it was carried to New Orleans by British immigrants. Here, the singer Jono adds yet another adaption to the song's long history of performers. Jono is backed by Tyler Ward, a dedicated Youtube cover artist in his own right. Tyler writes that he met Jono in a karaoke bar and did not realize until later they lived in the same town. He adds an element of blues to the song that fits well with the overall sentiment of desperation the song emits. What ...

  • Ahmir and Alexa Goddard - You Da One (Rihanna)

    I'm calling it now - Alexa Goddard is the next Cinderella story of Youtube. She's been posting covers of pop songs to Youtube since March of 2010, taking on artists such as Beyonce, Bruno Mars, Adele and Willow Smith. In her biography on , Alexa states her optimism about her future. "Maybe soon, I’ll have people uploading videos of them covering my songs!” With nearly 130,000 subscribers, many Youtubers have found Alexa to be "Da One." But does she have what it takes to be a Best Youtube Cover artist?

  • Joseph Gordon-Levitt - Ignition (R. Kelly)

    Here's Joseph Gordon-Levitt covering R. Kelly's hit, "Ignition." Gordon-Levitt, introduced to American television addicts in the 90s sitcom, "3rd Rock from the Sun" and has since seen a mainstream revival after a period of indie hits, is on-tune with this cover, at least melodically. He's like a really talented college freshman who just picked up guitar the summer after senior year of high school in order to get off the a "good start" with the kids in his hall. But nothing I can say could put a dent in this "Inception" stars fangirl following, which rivals that of Ryan Gosling. And I'll admit "Hesher" was awesome. What do you guys think? Does he keep up with the ranks of the best on youtube? Or should he be demoted?

  • Heather - I Want You Back (Jackson 5)

    Heather, whoever she is, rocks. With a drumbeat, a guitar, and a little bit of looping technology, Heather recreates "I Want You Back" matching the song's original charm and shine.

  • Josie Charlwood - Feel Good Inc. (Gorillaz)

    Josie Charlwood is a Brighton U.K. native signed to independent record label Tobes Music. She displays her multi-instrumental talent in this cover of Gorillaz' second big hit, "Feel Good Inc." Heck, she can even beatbox. Side Notes about the Song: Gorillaz lead singer Damon Albarn wrote this song on a bus ride to Coachella. He got the idea for the chorus while passing the wind turbines near Palm Springs. Hence, "Windmill, windmill..." This song peaked at 14 on the U.S. billboard, but went to #1 in Spain.

  • Various College Students - Get Low (Lil Jon)

    Skeet Skeet. These guys take on Lil Jon's "Get Low." Super perky Alex Koste turns the club hit into a chipper tune. What do you think?
