Compare & Contrast

October 21, 2009

I was Google Video searching for an episode of F.R.I.E.N.D.S. and I randomly came across this clip of Juliet Weybret, an adorably talented girl who does a surprisingly great* cover of Taylor Swift’s ‘Should’ve Said No’:

This girl is 16 years old, and accordingly you’ll find covers of the likes of Miley Cyrus and the Jonas Brothers (along with more Taylor Swift) on her YouTube page. But sister girlfriend writes her own songs too, and sure they’re all semi-cliched songs about star-crossed teenage lovers and stuff, but honestly, I listened to them and ended up nodding my head like yeah.
Anyway, if you though she was good, go listen to a few more of her tunes on MySpace or YouTube, become a fan on Facebook, or follow her on Twitter. I always feel that people like this should be encouraged.
All of this to say that this talented girl’s video jogged my memory of another YouTube-published cover of the same song. I’m going to go ahead and let it screech for itself:
For some background– this sad little person is 19 years old and I’m pretty sure the poor thing takes herself dead seriously. Perez Hilton found the clip a few months ago and it has since gotten over two and a half million hits on YouTube. She takes this to mean that she should continue to film and post her musical stylings on the internet. Yeah, I wish I was kidding.
* Yeah, that sentence probably has too many modifiers in close proximity to each other.
