Singer/songwriter Dominique from Houston, Texas is this week’s Cover Star. Here is her version of Etta James’ classic ‘All I Can Do Was Cry’ which was recently made popular again by Beyonce. See the performance below:

What made that rendition so powerful was the tone of Dominique’s voice. She has a robust, soulful quality to her vocals that is quite rare amongst the present generation of singers. Combine that with her conviction and confidence and I sense we have just witnessed a truly special talent.
