I've experienced so much of what the song is trying to convey. I dated guys who were with me for only 2 or 3 months, then they'd leave. It was heart breaking. Furthermore, you'd see them with someone else a week or so later, crushing your heart even further. Then, they'd leave them too. These guys were just collecting their "jar of hearts," because unbeknownst to them, they were breaking people's hearts without a care in the world. I thank God everyday for giving me Ryan, who's been with me for 6 years!This is only my third issue of the series, because of the amount of time it takes me to put this together. The premise behind "Cover Wars" is to get your opinion on who you think is the "best of the best" when a YouTube artist performs a cover to a popular hit, like Adele's current song, "Rolling in the Deep" or Madonna's, "Like A Prayer".
This week's battle has an unprecedented 16 contenders. I literally went through several hundred covers of Perri's song, to find the ones I wanted competing against each other. I chose 36 covers, and out of those 36, I siphoned out 20. It is now up to you to decide which of these 16 wins the battle. Out of all these, one of them made me shed a tear, can you guess which one that was?
I have listed each of the contestants in the playlist from 1-16, starting with the current reigning champ, Sam Tsui, and his cover of Jar of Hearts.
