SInger: Diego Martins

In this first video, Diego Martins appears on a Brazilian TV show singing "I Will Survive" -- and you believe it!

This is a performance of "Girls Just Want to Have Fun" -- the voice is great but I'm not a fan of the bearded look:

Singer: Lorelei Lee

This is very good -- a duet featuring a single artist! Lorelei is singing Two Little Girls from Little Rock from the classic film Gentleman Prefer Blondes.



For a lot more of artist Topher Yandell, check out this 75 minute live performance video.

Lorelei was previously featured here in August 2010.

Fantasy Competition

I'd love to see a special global edition of Your Face Sounds Familiar featuring several of the best femulators from various national programs.

Jerzy Grzechnik would definitely be included among the competitors:



The performers would have to include Mateusz Matti Jakubiec, Audrius Janonis, Valerio Scanu, Thanh Duy, Courtney Act, Pavel Arambula, and Peter Srámek.

There are certainly other very good candidates, such as Augusto Schuster.

Singer: Shakiro

Jonathan Trujillo on the Colombian "Got Talent" program. There are a number of videos on youtube, tracking Shakiro's progress through the competition.

 

Kazaky

I don't know much about them, but Kazaky is apparently an all-male dance-music group from Ukraine. Check out this video:



Look at any of their videos. They typically dance in high heels.

Bell Nuntita -- Singing in English

I found a youtube channel with lots of videos of Bell Nuntita, (Nuntrita “Bell” Khampriranon) singing, including this one, which shows her covering a song in English.

The Honeytraps: "Wishing" video

In 2006, Channel 4 in the UK televised a 6 episode television show with a them very much like the intent of this blog. This is from the IMDB page about the show:

Former 80's boyband star Nathan Moore and music industry guru Olivier Bezardi want to pull off one the most audacious stunts in the history of pop: passing off a bunch of former male stars as a hot new girlband.

Here's the video that concluded the show:

Introductory post

This blog is about a band called The Cover Gurlz.

Never heard of them?

Well, that's probably because they do not exist -- at least not yet.

This space will propose the creation of a band called The Cover Gurlz. In all probability, the musicians under consideration will never have met, and may not even have heard of one other. Who knows, it may only exist in cyberspace.

Web surfers can think of this blog as on-line version of one of these television shows that create a new band. The blog will be considering various singers, guitar players, drummers, and so on.

Admittedly, this blog is as much a marketing plan as anything else.

Just like those TV programs.

So, what is the marketing gimmick?

Well, every musician in this band will look like a cover girl -- an attractive model who helps "sell" the idea of the band.

Also, this band will play songs previously made famous by female artists and groups. They'll play "covers."

And finally, the gurlz in the band will themselves be under-cover.

Not just under the cover of makeup or costumes. All the musicians will actually be boys, undercover as gurlz.
