Ryan Beatty - Valerie

"Valerie," the song made famous by Amy Winehouse. It was originally played by The Zutons but Amy Winehouse sang who own version of it which made "Valerie" a hit.

Ryan Beatty is best known on YouTube for posting himself singing covers of songs. Some might compare him to Justin Bieber but this kid deserves more than to just be called Justin Bieber 2.0. He has an amazing voice that far exceeds that of Justin Bieber.

"Valerie" is a difficult song to sing and because it's a soulful, bluesy song that doesn't make it any easier. People with the right type of soulful voice is hard to come by but Ryan Beatty is able to accomplish this in the cover. His voice is not, by all means as soulful as Amy Winehouse's but he manages to make this cover his own. With just an acoustic guitar and piano to accompany his voice and played at a slower tempo, the cover is given a more jazz/soul feel compared to Amy Winehouse's upbeat version. It really is an impressive cover. Enjoy!
