This week’s That Grape Juice Cover Star is Shantee Tyler. Watch the singer, who was born in Germany, raised in Denver, and resides in Atlanta, tackle Brandy and Monica‘s recent duet ‘It All Belongs To Me’ below:
While not boasting the horse-power of the cut’s original performers, Shantee (who you may recognise from MTV’s Making The Band) turned in a wholly solid performance. Controlled, yet daring (see: applying her own adlibs), her rendition puts a fresh twist on the track. Good stuff.

This week’s That Grape Juice Cover Star is Ari Lourdes. Watch the US native tackle Rihanna‘s latest single ‘Where Have You Been’ below:
Boasting a Pop, yet powerful tone, Lourdes joins the ever-growing line of acts who can sing Rihanna songs better than Rihanna. (Truthful) jokes aside, the young sonstress served up a solid and original take on a great song. We like. Do you?

After a brief rest on the bench, That Grape Juice Cover Star is back! This week sees DiiJai tackle Whitney Houston‘s classic ‘I Have Nothing’.
Check out his showing below:
Powerful, emotive, and yet controlled. A stunning showing; one which serves as a contemporary throwback to days of old where male artists “SANG”. With music rotating in cycles, here’s hoping the return of “the vocalists” is nigh.

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.

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.

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.

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.
