PRoJ // The Beta Band - Squares

"It samples Gunter Kallmann Choir's "Daydream" differently to how I Monster sampled the song in 2001, showing how one sample can be interpreted differently by 2 different bands. This charted, but at number 42. It adds to the song and although uses a sample creates a new track out of it."

 

 

Not sure I've heard of this before, excited to hear

Rolloland // Peter Gabriel - Heroes

"No rock instruments,just an orchestra"

 

Perhaps one of the most famous songs of all time, this version strips it down and is another orchestral version of a classic here!

Ultraviolenceland // Hannah Grace - Praise You

"WAH"

 

 

Lol at "wah", this is another advert ballad version of a dance classic, after Sam got beaten to You're Not Alone!

I recognise the title of Jadakissnia's from poring over 2008 charts (a UK #62 hit, cheeeeeaaaaap!!1) but don't think I have heard it! (I didn't watch BGT at all until 2009).

 

Harmonica bringing Gabbiel impakt x

 

République d'Áskorza // Starley - Touch Me

"It is sort of a cover of Groove Theory - Tell Me with some updated lyrics"

 

 

 

Starley has been entered with Call On Me which became a UK hit, and here she is again for AShton!

oh that's quite a bop

South Danaelanda // Patrick Topping - Be Sharp Say Nowt

"Samples 'I Know I've Been Changed' by LaShun Pace turning it from gospel song to tech house anthem"

 

 

Vaguley heard of this but never listened so now I can!

DAN YES OMFG YESSS

Cowtermont // Abacus ft. Cimone Everybody's Got To Learn Sometime (I Need Your Loving)

"Drum n Bass remake of The Korgis - Everybody's Got To Learn Sometime"

 

 

A song I've heard many covers of if it's what I'm thinking of, here's another to add to it!

The Korgis original is wonderful. I hope I'm going to like a drum n bass version.

Hushkanukia // Unicq Mercy

 

 

A French BOP that samples Diana King's 90s hit Shy Guy, our penultimate entry.

Skall // Utada Hikaru - Final Distance (M-Flo version)

"Energetic, ahead-of-its-time dance remix that's at double the tempo of the original pop ballad."

 

 

 

All I can say is a big fat YAS and hype to this, QUEEN

There we go, voting thread will go up soon and apologies again for the hiccups :lol:

Thanks for this Liam, quite a few here in the end where I don't think I know the originals at all (although I suspect that might be the case for other people with my song too tbf) but looks like a good variety of different spins on the 'reinvention' concept ~

yeah thanks for doing this Liam! Quite a few songs here I really wanna hear, and a few I already love :wub:

Ooh I missed all this, oh well, my entry for this I was gonna enter to the main contest but was a bit afraid it might have got ignored. It's quite unlike me and fits this contest a lot better so here's hoping it was a good choice!

 

Looks a good inspired, set of songs for the most part. I LOVE that version of Shelter so wonderful to see Iz enter that :wub: I've also heard those versions of Praise You and You're Not Alone on the adverts before, they're fairly nice c

I feel I have heard a few allready (South Dan, Ultraviolenceland of the top off my head) but excited!

 

HYPE to The AAA Girls <3

Rolloland // Peter Gabriel - Heroes

"No rock instruments,just an orchestra"

 

Perhaps one of the most famous songs of all time, this version strips it down and is another orchestral version of a classic here!

And the winner is.... (not that I have a vote having failed to enter)

Thanks for hyping it Suedey. I hope the younger ones on here will like it.
