Under Pressure - Under Cover

For my song, I chose Queen & David Bowie's Under Pressure. This is one of my favorite songs, and when NBC's The Sing Off premiered in December of 2009, they opened with this song sung by all of the groups in the competition. Although the song itself could be interpreted in many different ways, I like how what I feel to be the meaning totally changes when it's sung by a different group. I feel the original version is more about life's hardships, but when it's sung on The Sing Off, it's more about the pressure of the competition. I would embed the video here, but apparently I lack those skills, so I'll just link you. Here's the original, and here's the cover.

Until next time,

Liz

  1. Really awesome. I love a cappella groups and it adds such a different dynamic to the point of the song.
