Cover Please!

For some people, Facebook is their method of procrastination. For me, it’s YouTube. A few of you may know my love for a good Youtube cover (Gabe Bondoc, anyone?), so I have decided that for this week’s blog I would share with all of you another one of my favorites.

Her name is Meghan Tonjes and she has a truly soulful voice. A Michigan native, Tonjes does both regular covers and clever mash ups. Some good ones include her mash up of Taylor Swift’s Innocent with Kanye West’s Runaway and of Taylor Swift’s Mine with Katy Perry’s Teenage Dream and Ellie Goulding’s Starry Eyed. I also love her weekly Glee sessions where she covers songs featured on that week’s episode of Glee. However, if you are looking for some new stuff to listen to, Tonjes also has a lot of good originals to choose from such as The Weight Of. Part Ingrid Michaelson and part Jewel, Tonjes is definitely one of those artists who can get you through a tough night of studying! Here is a sample clip:

Innocent/Runaway

Hope you guys are enjoying your week so far! Let me know what you think in the comments section below 🙂

I am a sophomore in LSA (planning on majoring in English with a minor in Women Studies) from out of state (can you guess where?) whose current obsession with the show Modern Family may prevent the successful completion of this term.
