Youtube Channel

I created a Youtube Channel to upload the videos of my covers. I called Singing Covers just like this  Blog and my project. The first thing I did was choosing a photo for my profile and writing the description of the channel.
Then I uploaded all the videos with a little description of each video and I put the cover of Love Yourself as a trailer of the channel and then you can see the four videos at the bottom.

ANALYSIS 
This song is a tune written in E major with binary compass. It starts directly with Justin Bieber singing and then an electric guitar doing the chords is introduced, that lasts for 7 compasses, this is part A. Then, in the eighth compass it’s introduced a second voice above the principal one in part B and C, that goes until compass thirty-second. In the same part the guitar is changed for a bass. This same structure is repeated. Then there’s a trumpet and voice part with accompaniment of an electric guitar. Then we repeat the part A of the first structure but then it goes directly to part C twice, but in the second part some phrases are repeated. Then it ends suddenly in E major as it started.
A lot of people think that this song was written thinking of Selena Gomez, his ex-girlfriend as a way of telling her that he is, finally, over her.

COMPARISON 
I have used only a piano while the original is a guitar 
I have changed the world girl of the first verse for boy so it fits me better. 
I have added some higher voices 
I have changed the key to a lower one 
I haven't sung the instrumental part.

ANALYSIS 
This song is played by Ariana Grande an American actress and singer with latin origins. She started in Broadway as part of the cast of Thirteen. After this she played the role of Cat Valentine in Victorious a Nickelodeon serie, very famous. In 2013 she continue playing that character in a spin-off of I-Carly and Victorious called Sam and Cat. She released her first album called Yours Truly but she reached fame with her second album called My Everything and her single Problem.


This song is in Em, and it only uses three chords, Em, G and C that are repeted thorough all the song in this order. It strats with a round of the chords and then it starts with A then the Pre-chorus and then the Chorus, after it it goes directly to part A’, Pre-chorus and before the chorus a pause, the Chorus and then B twice. After it a instrumental bridge that lasts to rounds of chords. After it, it goes directly to the Chorus and B twice and then to part C twice, at the end we have another round of chords and it ends. The instruments used are bass, electric guitar and drums. She added lots of different voices in the second half of the song so it doesn’t sound the same. 

COMPARISON 
The original song had lots of high voices that I haven't done. 
I haven't sung the first Oh yeah
I haven't sung the final part when she says Yeah there's something 'bout you boy 
I have sung the voice in a lower key
