[HYPNOTICASIA PICKS] Top 10 “Someone Like You” Covers

As previously reported, HypnoticAsia will bring you our TOP 10 Picks of covers that we feel are great! Our first TOP 10 Pick was Bruno Mars’ “When I  Was Your Man” covers which you can check out HERE.

For our second Top 10 Picks, we chose the song “Someone Like You” which is originally sung by Adele. So many talented artists have covered this amazing track but only ten made it to our final list. These covers were all unique and beautiful in their own way as they showed their talented vocals and rearrangements of the song.

TEN -miss A’s Suzy “Someone Like You”

Suzy of the Korean girl group Miss A comes in at tenth place as she covers the song “Someone Like You” through Younha’s Starry Night Radio back in 2012. She had great English pronunciation even though it isn’t her first language as you can hear through this cover. Her voice was really nice and spot on even through a radio program. Vocals by Suzy.

NINE –Daeho “Someone Like You”

In ninth place is Daeho, who is a fantastic YouTuber I came across as I was searching for great covers of “Someone Like You.” Through his cover of “Someone Like You”, he expressed the emotions of the song incredibly well and also used a black and white filter on his video, giving it a similar feel that Adele used on her own. His voice is really nice and it goes well with the song. This is the reason he comes in ninth on our list. Vocals by Daeho

EIGHT – Ailee “Someone Like You”

Ailee covered this song a while back and it’s still one of my favorites because Ailee is known for her amazing vocals and it’s definitely seen through this wonderful cover she did. Though the video can’t be found anymore, a fan has uploaded this video of her audio. Ailee comes in at number eight with her great voice. Vocals by Ailee.

SEVEN –Dabit (David Kim) “Someone Like You”

Coming in at number seven is rookie Korean singer Dabit, who debuted last year with “Whoo Whoo Whoo.” Before debut though, the singer was a YouTube star and a trainee at a Korean Company. Dabit sings this song beautifully in a video cover he uploaded through his official YouTube channel. The black and white touch on the video gives it the same feel Adele did when she filmed her music video for the song, also in black and white. He also showed his emotions through the track nicely and this is why he comes in at number 7! Vocals by Dabit.

SIX – New Heights “Someone Like You”

Travis Graham, lead singer of the band New Heights released this cover of “Someone Like You” back in 2011 and it’s still one of my favorite covers of the track. His cover comes in at number six as he shows us the amazing guitar rendition of this song. His voice is superb and the guitar complimented the song beautifully. Vocals and guitar by Travis Graham.

FIVE – Shin Ji Hoon “Someone Like You”

Singer Shin Ji Hoon recently made her debut through Cube Entertainment but before that, she wowed the judges on KPOP Star 2 with her rendition of “Someone Like You.” KPOP STAR is a Korean audition program and because she did a fantastic job covering this song in English which isn’t her first language, I feel she deserves number five on HypnoticAsia Picks. A plus to this, you get her fun dancing at the end. Vocals by Shin Ji Hoon. (Song begins at 1:21)

FOUR – Lunafly “Someone Like You”

Fourth place goes to Korean trio Lunafly. The cover video was so good to watch as the members of Lunafly walk around the great scenery in their black and white/color video. The music was done by the members as member Yun is seen strumming the guitar alongside the members. This cover sounds great performed as three members rather then just one person as the other songs on the list are sung. Vocals by Yun, Teo and Sam and guitar by Yun.

THREE – Megan Lee “Someone Like You”

Ahead of her recent debut, Megan Lee covered “Someone Like You” through her official YouTube channel. She comes in at number three with her ridiculously amazing cover of “Someone Like You” which I must mention, she covered live from her own bedroom. She also has a great live cover alongside guitarist Sung Ha Jung. The amazing vocals by Megan Lee! (Also, remember to support her debut single “8dayz.”)

TWO – Arden Cho & George Shaw “Someone Like You”

In 2nd place is vocalist Arden Cho and pianist George Shaw as they release their own version of “Someone Like You.” Arden’s voice is absolutely gorgeous and she shows that in this cover she has unleashed alongside George.  I like that the video was filmed simply with Arden singing by the piano so the focus wasn’t taken away from the song. Piano by George Shaw and vocals by Arden Cho.

ONE – Sam Tsui “Someone Like You”

First place is Sam Tsui with his marvelous and beautiful version of “Someone Like You.” I must say, I’m a big fan of Sam Tsui’s covers and originals but this is one of his best. I mean he has over 4 million views while fans comment how his voice has put them to tears. The emotions are shared through his voice and it’s really amazing to see that through a YouTube video. For this reason, he is number 1 this time around!  Vocals and piano by Sam Tsui.
