Amazingness: Covers Edition

Swedish songstress Lykke Li has been performing her cover of Kings of Leon's aching Knocked Up all over the place. Her cover is fantastic. Surprisingly, her voice suits it perfectly. Magical. Here's a clip of her performing it at a concert in January.



Le GaGa recently performed a wonderful cover of Coldplays' epic Viva La Vida on BBC's Radio 1 Live Lounge show. She really makes the song her own, adding some funny lyrics about Chris and Gwenyth. She also namedrops designer Yves Saint Laurent. I love the rollicking piano and her low voice. The Lady has a truly great, visceral voice. Terrific cover.
