7. Call My Name - Plan B (Originally by Cheryl Cole)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ATRf2evtqao The second Cheryl cover comes courtesy of another Londoner. Call My Name in the epitome of a modern pop/dance song but you wouldnt guess by Plan Bs ballad. The emotion he puts into the Calvin Harris penned track gives it the air of a desperate plea of love instead of a repetitive song full of innuendo. He even gets a rap into it, truly put his own signature on the former Mrs Coles hit. Other Live Lounge covers of his include Tinie Tempah's Pass Out. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IYT6rbxNn30 6. Starstruck - Marina and The Diamonds (Originally by 30H3 ft. Katy Perry)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NQYo6rXVIGY Welsh songstress Marina Diamandis takes a song with no seeming emotional capacity and makes it sound like its about heartbreak. Suddenly its not so fun as her haunting vocals turn this perky track into a ballad about bad relationships and lying partners. Gone are wolf whistles and instead are violins and pianos. Its a clever spin on a song you would have never seen in this light. She also did a similar twist with Justin Bieber's Boyfriend. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dvf--10EYXw
