ilovetosing & Christian_
ORIGINAL: Mayday - Gone Like The Wind
~ This was pretty. The instruments were really nice and it was overall an enjoyable listen. This song is one of the songs I’m intrigued to see a cover of, because the original was a pretty typical ilovetosing moment, so I’m wondering if the cover will serve something completely different. As it went on I became more invested in the song.
COVER: Eve Ai - Gone Like The Wind
~ Again, this was pretty. Honestly though this cover was almost completely like the original, just with a female vocalist. Like this was gorgeous to me, but I really wanted to see how the same song can be done differently. I loved her voice though.
GENERAL CONSENSUS: 5/10
~ I enjoyed both of the songs but neither of them completely blew me away. This may have been passable if there was a big contrast between the songs, like the first one being a ballad and the cover being an upbeat version would’ve been so funny and iconic to me. It probably doesn’t exist for that song but I still would’ve liked to see a dynamic similar to that. Good picks but not what I was looking for ultimately.
PATRICK & TBROWN
ORIGINAL: En Vogue - Don’t Let Go
~ MOMSSSS. I always think of the Little Mix cover when I listen to this. This is a classic and a song I like, yes. I enjoyed it more than I initially thought I would actually.. like they ate. I’m so excited to see this song done differently (if you guys succeeded in portraying that). This result definitely hinges on the cover atp.
COVER: Other People’s Heartache, Bastille - Don’t Let Go
~ This is probably one of the covers that’s the MOST contrasting to the original. Like completely different both stylistically & vocally. You definitely succeeded in that respect. To be honest with you I wasn’t a big fan of this cover, for the most part. I loved the “rap” part that came in halfway through. I hate to say this but the rest of the cover was.. kinda ass. I was not a fan at all.
GENERAL CONSENSUS: 4/10
~ This was an interesting send overall because you had a huge contrast between the two songs which I commend, but the cover didn’t live up to the original at all. It honestly sounded a bit shite when I think about it. I liked the original but it just kinda ruined it. This is a taste contest overall so I have prioritize that.
