3. Despite the seemingly low-tech exterior of this cover, singer Jonathan Mays clearly knows his way around the recording studio! If you listen closely, you can hear that he layered his own voice onto the original track, making it a more complex and sonically cool cover!

2. Robbie Jay is a talented vocalist that seems to spend most of his time covering new pop hits! We're just glad he took a few minutes out of his busy schedule to NAIL his take of "Walks Like Rihanna!"

1. This is the most engineered cover on our list, and we can't help but love it! The backbeat track mixed with the slightly raspy voice of this singer makes this cover simply irresistible.
