Cover Star: Nez Sings Kelly Rowland’s ‘Motivation’

This week’s That Grape Juice Cover Star is Nezanet. The Londoner serves up a stirring take on Kelly Rowland‘s R&B smash ’Motivation’.

Check out her showing below:

Lyrics on the phone aside, Nez nailed this! Confident and controlled, she delivered a fresh take on a great song. Indeed, her adlibs were the variety we wish Rowland herself would dabble with more – both on record and live.

Great performance; the type the British industry would benefit from seeing much more of on our charts.

Cover Star: Jenna Jams Out An Acoustic ‘Hot Like Fire’ by Aaliyah

After a brief rest on the bench, this week sees the return of That Grape Juice Cover Star. Helping kick things off is folk popstress Jenna Andrews lending a Colbie Caillat-esque twist to Aaliyah‘s blazing 1996 groove ‘Hot Like Fire’.


Given the thump of the (Timbaland) single mix, this acoustic set comes as a surprisingly pleasant perspective.  Definitely left field – but not so much so that the song becomes unrecognizable – Andrews stamps the song as her own while still carrying it with a softness reminiscent of its original performer.  Doesn’t hurt that Jenna’s easy on the eyes.

Cover Star: Edison Covers Lady GaGa’s ‘Judas’

After a brief rest on the bench, this week sees the return of That Grape Juice Cover Star. Helping kick things off is Edison, who serves up a rousing rendition of Lady GaGa‘s ‘Judas’.

Check out his showing below:

Atypical in its original form, the song was a strange choice for an acoustic. However, this young talent made it his own, by way of solid, controlled vocal delivery and an interest visual. Good stuff.

Cover Star: In’Sight Sing Beyonce’s ‘Ave Maria / In The Arms of An Angel’

After a brief rest on the bench, That Grape Juice Cover Star is back! Re-booting our weekly series are UK vocal duo In’Sight, who serve up a rousing rendition of Beyonce‘s ‘Ave Maria / In The Arms of An Angel’.

Check out their performance below:

An amazing showing; one rendered all the more solid by the fact the song is already a task for even the most skilled female vocalist, speak less a male – or in this instance two. Yet, In’Sight’s soulful baritones, effortless harmonies, and commendable annunciation (who’d have known they weren’t fluent in Latin) highlight just why they’re drumming up so much buzz on this side of the pond.

This week’s That Grape Juice Cover Star is TSoul. The Virginia native serves up a stirring take on Kelly Rowland‘s Urban smash ‘Motivation’.

Check out his showing, with Malon Ali, below:

A unique, fresh take on an already great song. A take which re-affirms that true artistry comes not only from being able to write lyrics, but also being able vocally interpret them and garnish them with ‘self”. Good stuff.

Cover Star: Shanice Sings Beyonce’s ‘Run The World (Girls)’

This week’s That Grape Juice Cover Star is Shanice Smith. The young Londoner tracks a crack at Beyonce‘s new controversial single ‘Run The World (Girls)’.

Peep her performance below:

Great showing; once which further serves as evidence that it’s not always a powerful vocal which makes for an interesting voice. Rather, as Shanice show, it’s about interpreting the music and making it one’s own – something the BRIT school student does so here to great effect. .

Cover Star: Envy Starr Sings Mary J. Blige’s ‘Be Without You’

This week’s That Grape Juice Cover Star is Envy Starr. The 22 year old, Los Angeles native serves up her own rendition of Mary J. Blige’s 2006 smash ‘Be Without You.

Check out the clip below:

Her over-reliance on the backing-track aside, Starr nailed it. Showcasing a competent and confident vocal, she serves as a reminder that it’s not all about having the best voice. Rather, how one is able to hone, control, and emote from it separates the bad from the good – this effortlessly falling into the latter. I like.
