Music battle : "Will you still love me tomorrow"

Today it's time for another music battle. This time will be between original version of Will you still love me tomorrow by The Shirelles and other musicians who decided to make a cover of this song.

Will you still love me tomorrow is a song written by Gerry Goffin and Carole King was recorded by The Shirelles in 1960. In 1961 this song was number 1 on the Billboard Hot 100.

During all these years, from1960 to today's day, this song is still one of the best songs of all time. Maybe that's why, so many musicians, known and unknown, recorded their own versions ;)

From one side this is very good because this song is still alive and the next generations can get to know it and enjoy an amazing lyrics, but from the other side as we all know that always the best version is first original version...

How will be this time?

As always I chose only a few from hundreds and I hope I did a good choices. So enjoy the music and get to know this song again :) Also, if you know some other great versions of this song, put it on the comment.

Which one is better and which one is the best? Write your type on the comments.

Time for the battle!

Music battle : Skinny Love

It's time for...the music battle!

Today's battle is between Bon Iver and their amazing version of Skinny Love and versions performed by other musicians.

Skinny Love is a song by American indie folk band Bon Iver, from their debut album For Emma, Forever Ago, released in 2008.

Be honest - this song is really wonderful. Not only because of lyrics or music, but because it lets show emotions of person who's singing it. And maybe this is a secret why it has so many covers ;)

You can find many versions of Skinny Love (check it out), more or less known, better and worse and I could to do a few parts like f.e. 'Skinny Love - great versions' but I chose a few, which are really good in my opinion and I hope you will like them as I.

I like when somebody, who is singing a song as a cover, is giving something more, something new, something fresh to that song and is surprising with the performance. That's cool. Ok, ok - this is a cover, only a cover of someone's song, but trust me, it's really great to hear some emotions, something new, soul and talent of performer, not only 'the same things'.

You are deciding, which version is the best and/or the worst? Maybe original version or maybe one of these covers? Also if you know or like other version of Skinny Love, which I didn't put here, write in the comments - it would be really nice to get to know something else. Write everything -your opinions and other version in the comments, under this post ↓ .

You can also find these songs as a playlist on my YT channel here.

Time for the battle!
