15 Best Radio 1 Live Lounge Covers

9. Paloma Faith - Sexy Minx (Cover of Akon & David Guetta€™s Sexy Chick)

Paloma brings her cabaret style to Guetta€™s summer dance anthem. With her unmistakable jazzy vocals and a piano she makes a rather crude song sound classy and give you goosebumps. Except for bitch/chick being changed to minx the lyrics stay the same, somehow she can even make singing about booty€™s sound beautiful.

8. Paramore - Use Somebody (Originally by Kings Of Leon)

Sometimes with the heavily styled look and energetic performance you can forget that Paramore€™s pint sized front woman Hayley William€™s is a talented singer. This acoustic take on the Kings Of Leon track is a perfect way to let her showcase her soulful voice, she really puts feeling into the track. It makes you wonder why they don€™t do more toned down tracks. On an earlier session they performed Love's Not a Competition (But I'm Winning) by The Kaiser Chiefs.
