Before they become the 'Ellen' show mascots, Sophia Grace and Rosie gained internet fame with their spot on cover of Nicki Minaj's 'Super Bass.' Now it looks like another previously unknown singer is headed to viral video glory thanks to a rendition of the same song. Except, this version has a twist.
None of us can figure out what prompted this man to perform a cover of 'Fields of Gold' on the recorder, while also shirtless and in front of cloudy background. The only reason we can think of is that he's dedicated to the song's writer, Sting.
You probably remember in late 2010 Fallon paired his spot-on Neil Young falsetto impression with the real Bruce Springsteen for a hilarious rendition of Willow Smith's 'Whip My Hair.' Well, Bruce Springsteen week on 'Late Night With Jimmy Fallon' ended with a bang Friday night. A very sexy bang.
We know Ken Marino can act from his days on the MTV sketch comedy show 'The State' to his long resume of roles in shows like 'Party Down' and 'Veronica Mars.' And we know he can write -- the 43-year old co-penned the screenplay to 'Role Models" and did the same for the just-released Paul Rudd/Jennifer Aniston comedy 'Wanderlust.'
But Marino revealed a new talent on 'Conan' that may be his most impressive yet.
Austin Criswell might not look like the traditional pop star, but, wow, does he have a great voice. He's been posting cover songs on his YouTube account for the last few years to moderate success. However, one of his efforts, a ukulele cover of The Beatles' 'Something,' is starting to go viral. Check out why below.
If you're a 'Parenthood' fan, then you're already familiar with the work of singer-songwriter Landon Pigg. His songs have been featured in past episodes of the NBC comedy-drama, and he even recently appeared as himself in a cameo at the Luncheonette recording studio. Now he's enlisted the cast for a funny lip dub of his cover of the cheesy LFO classic 'Girl on TV.'
Sophia Grace and little cousin Rosie first came to our attention last October when their spot -on rendition of the Nicki Minaj hit ‘Super Bass' went viral. Since then, the adorable British twosome have been practically adopted by Ellen DeGeneres, who has featured their unexpected hip hop abilities on her daytime show, and also sent them to the Grammys as red carpet correspondents.
Earlier this week, the girls debuted another Nicki Minaj cover, 'Moment 4 Life,' on Ellen.
In the video below, Lady Gaga's 'Bad Romance' is covered in Mandarin Chinese by a group called the Twelve Girls Band, who are being backed by a choir of middle-aged folks and senior citizens. Not exactly what Mother Monster originally had in mind for the song.
It's obvious this vibraslap player (vibraslapper? vibraslappist?) has preternatural musical talent. Her performance of Ozzy Osbourne's 'Crazy Train' is right on the money. Why isn't she off touring with the Prince of Effing Darkness right now?
