Gerard’s Umbrella and Patrick’s Ignition
I love when musicians cover each others songs. One song that I think has been covered about a billion times since it came out is “Umbrella” by Rihanna. If you haven’t heard it then you’ve been living under a rock. I’ve gotten fairly tired of hearing everybody cover “Umbrella”, but when I heard Gerard Way from My Chemical Romance does a cover of it on the Projekt Revolution Tour I had to hear it. I didn’t expect much, but it was actually really good. Gerard has an interesting voice that one might not think would work with the song but it does in this strange way (no pun intended).
While I’m in the spirit of sharing strange but totally rad covers, I found a video of Patrick Stump (the lead singer of Fall Out Boy, for those not in the know) singing a sweet version of Akon’s “Don’t Matter’ and R. Kelly’s “Ignition”.
Patrick’s voice always makes me swoon!
