Then came a time when I wasn't really able to make it to any of the bands shows, which was disappointing. I didn't hear anything from Mars or the band, until him and Seth started doing what they called 'Couch Covers". They would literally sit on a couch and cover a song acoustically, my personal favorite was 'Boyfriend' by Justin Beiber, but they were all beautifully put together. Those two know how to make a song entertaining, that's for sure.
This cemented it for me, I was a big fan of Mars and his voice. He has such control and can play any genre. But, I was once again looking for him to come out with some new material. I searched his name once again after starting this blog, and was pleased with what I found. He is introducing #meusicmondays, in which he puts out a new cover song every Monday. If the first few songs are indication, this is something we should all be tuning in to, the dude can flat out sing. Here's proof with a fun rendition of 'Holy Grail' by Jay-Z and Justin Timberlake.
This is just one example of what he has put out. There are few more out now, hopefully with many more to come. So make sure to tune in to #meusicmondays!
Celebrity Spotlight:
It wasn't hard to think of someone who owns every song they sing, to pair with Mars. Sam Tsui. I've heard him sing everything from 'Let Her Go' to 'Selfie'. No matter what the song, he holds it down. Just like Mars, he has incredible control. They both know exactly what notes to hit, and how to hit the high notes with perfection. Both guys are extremely talented and should definitely be more well known by the public. Sam is also talented with rearranging songs and giving them a completely different feel from the original. This is his spin on 'Everybody's Got Somebody But Me' by Hunter Hayes and Jason Mraz.
