This week’s That Grape Juice Cover Star is L.E.D. and partner in crime G. Curtis, Jr. Watch as the Youtube duo do a cover of Lady Gaga‘s ‘Do What U Want’:

This, my friends, is how you do a cover.  What separates covers from karaoke is the singer’s ability to inject his or her personality into the tune without taking away from the original.  Unquestionably, such feat was accomplished by L.E.D. & co.

With jazzy vocals reminiscent of British beauty Duffy, this leading songstress is one we will definitely have our eye on in the future.
