Noah : Sexy And He Knows It

I've put off writing about Noah for way too long now. He's another Youtube superstar who truly deserves all the recognition he gets. I first came across him doing a cover of "Billie Jean" (Michael Jackson) alongside Christina Grimmie (another Youtube superstar I wrote about way back in February). Chances are, you know both of them, if you are the type to surf across Youtube's waves. But, if you don't know them, today's your lucky day. You've got a lot of good covers and originals to listen to. So, here's their cover of Michael Jackson's masterpiece "Billie Jean". Enjoy and feel free to moonwalk!

Love it! Christina Grimmie always does her songs justice. So, if you don't know her already, make sure you go through her covers and originals. She will most definitely blow your mind. As for Noah, that man can sing. He's got such a unique sound, with hints of Joe Cocker and innumerable others in his voice. I also really dig his rhythmic guitar playing which has such a gentle edge, but creates a great a surface for the two to float across with their powerhouse voices.

Now, just to be clear, that was on Christina Grimmie's channel, so make sure you subscribe to her if you haven't already done so. She's magnificent, to say the least. So, after I saw that cover, I sort of forgot about Noah for a while. However, some time later, Noah came back into my life with an awesome cover of LMFAO's "Sexy And I Know It". This cover seemed to be everywhere in the media for a while and was a brilliant idea. If you haven't already seen this insane cover that many claim to be better than the original, this is your chance. Check it out!

Flawless! I remember when Noah covered that, I thought to myself "Why didn't I think of that?" It was an incredible idea and Noah's got an ear that can recognise a great tune underneath a lot of "fluff". Needless to say, he's sexy and he knows it. Those vocals would work for a soul track, a rock track, a pop track, for the blues, for some smooth reggae...pretty much anything. He's got a sound that would work with any sort of music, and this cover is the proof.

So, now that you've been mind-blown, don't forget to subscribe to his channel and "like" his Facebook for updates. He's got a bunch of stunning covers that really deserve your attention. But, too often we love it when an artist covers a song, and never think that their originals might be incredible too. So, be ready for an album that Noah's been working on for quite a while now! With the help of contributors, support and his talented inspiration he's on his way to serving up what I expect to be a fantastic album. Here's his thanks and a sample of what's to come. Check back tomorrow for another fantastic artist.
