Amazing Cover: "Lovesong" (Candice Glover)


While Candice Glover's debut album Music Speaks was released earlier this year, back in February, I feel as though her album didn't get as much promotion and attention as her vocal talents warrant the attention that we have given to some less vocally skilled individuals.

With that said, I am often reminded of her haunting cover of The Cure's "Lovesong" during her stint on American Idol and lucky for fans of hers, it found its way into her debut album with a nice new arrangement to match her smokey vocal performance.

Therefore, revisit her aw-inspiring cover of The Cure's "Lovesong" below from her time on American Idol and Enjoy!

Live Clip: "Love Song" (Candice Glover)


With the release of her highly anticipated debut album Music Speaks earlier today, Candice Glover becomes the first female and Black American Idol winner since Jordin Sparks to release a debut album.

Besides this fact, Candice Glover's set features her riveting and dare I say, American Idol-winning performance of The Cure's "Lovesong." Re-imagined as "Love Song," Candice's emotive rendition on the album is just as powerful as her start-turning live performance of it on the Idol stage and luckily for fans of Candice, she has offered up a performance of "Love Song" during a recent visit to Yahoo Music! to promote Music Speaks.

With that said, watch Candice's sublime performance of "Love Song" from said appearance at Yahoo Music! and if you haven't checked out her debut album Music Speaks, it's in-stores now and warrants a listen in my opinion.

Amazing Cover: "Lovesong" (Candice Glover)


While Candice Glover's debut album Music Speaks is finally slated for release on February 18th, I want to aid in the continued momentum for her musical effort as her vocal talents warrant the attention that we have given to some less vocally skilled individuals.

With that said, I am often reminded of her haunting cover of The Cure's "Lovesong" during her stint on American Idol and I really hope that some type of version finds its way onto her album, even if it is an iTunes bonus track or on a deluxe edition.

Therefore, revisit her aw-inspiring cover of The Cure's "Lovesong" after the jump and Enjoy!

Amazing Cover: "Lovesong" (Candice Glover)


Last night on American Idol, Candice Glover had "a star is born" moment on the hit reality singing competition with a riveting cover of The Cure's classic "Lovesong." While Adele most recently covered "Lovesong" with a bossa nova rendition on her classic LP 21, Candice hands down in my book offers the more risky and phenomenal rendition which even prompted Mariah Carey to get up from the judge's table and throw glitter on Candice to proclaim her approval. Watch Candice's flawless rendition of "Lovesong" sans the technical issue that occurs around 1:08 and Enjoy!

Showcase: Adele Live from The Ed Sullivan Theater


If you're a fan of Adele, you should definitely find the time to checkout this 45 minute showcase that Adele gave yesterday at The Ed Sullivan Theater in New York City. During the brief concert, Adele showcase off her infectious personality as well as her phenomenal voice. Starting the set of with her classic "Hometown Glory", Adele then slides into a beautiful rendition of "Don't You Remember" which is off of her new album "21." Following some banter where she talks about being inspired by Lady Antebellum's "Need You Now" and Dolly Parton, Adele takes to the mic again to offer up a smooth silky version of "Turning Tables." Adele then turns up the accompaniment from just a piano to her full band on her Grammy winning hit "Chasing Pavements."

After announcing a possible added date to her tour for the United Palace in NYC, Adele plunges into her covers of The Cure classic "Lovesong" and of Bob Dylan's "Make You Feel My Love." After her amazing covers, Adele lets into her first UK number 1 "Someone Like You," which is off of "21." While the recorded version is nice, Adele's live version of this song is the one that is currently placed atop the UK singles charts and is a very haunting torch ballad. To end her intimate concert, Adele lets loose on her current single "Rolling In The Deep."

Adele is definitely a world class talent and vocalist and if you have the time, please check out the whole concert... Enjoy!
