Kids singing "Rolling in the Deep" [edited title]

This apparently isn’t on YouTube yet so I had to link to a wacky Japanese site (There’s a brief ad before it autoplays):

This must be pretty new because I can’t find a thing about him online except for a Facebook page that looks like he created it five minutes ago.

That was awesome. Cute kid, too.

3

He reminds me of someone…I want to say Corey Haim?

Kids have a better range for this song then adults. I’ve seen several kids on youtube singing Rolling in the Deep.

This german kid did a good job.

Here’s a group of Mexican siblings doing the same song. The girl is 10 years old.

That’s actually pretty damned good. Anything else by them out there? Maybe something original?

7

:eek: That was fantastic!

Vazquez sounds is a trio of Mexican siblings: Angie (10, vocals), Abelardo (15, guitar/bass/piano), and Gustavo (13, drums) and they are jaw-droppingly good. Their dad is a record producer in Baja California, Mexico and the kids have access to his studio. They’ve popped up on CNN once or twice and Good Morning America did a story on them. You owe it to yourself to listen to their cover of “Rolling in the Deep”. They cover the absolute Hell out of that song. I like it better than the original. Wow. Just wow.

Yes they are fantastic. I posted a link to them in another thread yesterday.

Merged duplicate threads and edited thread title.

I can tell that they’re talented but “Rolling in the Deep” just isn’t a good song for their lead singer. She sounds like a little girl trying to sing a grown up song and it just doesn’t work.

12

Works for me.

13

Well, obviously.

14

Maybe, maybe not, but (especially) for a 10-year-old, I’m pretty damned impressed by how she’s articulating the vocals (assuming there’s not a lot of studio trickery going on there.) I wonder what she will sound like after a few years when she discovers her own voice.

15

Or when she learns to speak English, for that matter. That’s one of the amazing things about this. I can’t be dead certain, but I think she learned the song phonetically.

16

Or not. I’d love to hear their stuff in Spanish, too, but the only thing I could find of theirs online is that cover.

17

I’ll bet she speaks fluent English. They live in Mexicali, they appear to be upper middle class and might go to school in the USA as many border area residents of affluence do.

I learned English along with Spanish growing up and my children have also. One of my daughters teaches English in Europe. Most all of my kid’s friends speak fluent English having attended bilingual schools since elementary level.

I think this girl is 11. She’s very good.

19

don’t think this has been posted. if so, sorry. The featured girl singing in this PS22 chorus vid is excellent. "Rolling In The Deep" David Cook & PS22 Chorus (Adele) - YouTube

God, I keep watching these videos and following links to other kids singing this song and it just goes on forever…

Here’s a pretty good one of a group called “Cimorelli” apparently made up of all sisters. Dang, I wish I’d grown up next door to that family! :wink:

Oh, and I recommend against watching the bloopers part of the video that follows the song.
