Some pop songs sounds just too shitty to me to sound good even in metal. Some pop songs are great and have that metal potential in them and thus they sound extremely good in metal. Everyone concentrates only on heaviness. But metal always benefits from some harmonies and other stuff. Pop music usually doesn't have that, so even metal versions don't sound so good. For example, most pop music is in major key and metal works best in minor key to my taste. And there is everything else.
Lacuna Coil's version of Enjoy the Silence is pretty sweet, too. There's nothing wrong with covers, I really like seeing what different people do with the same song :)
I actually thought lacuna coil's version was an original 😂 until a friend started singing along and I was like "do you know Lacuna Coil?" All surprised and stuff lol. They both are cool
@@metalground212 I'd consider that mainstream repertoire, at least here in Germany where it is on the radio often. Especially on those stations that specialize on 80ies music (it's also on the SingStar 80ies version ;P) The Depeche Mode original is from the 80ies, but they also did a new version in I guess 2010 or something which already sounds a bit heavier than the original does. Definitely is a cool song, no matter the version. And if that helps bridge the gaps between different music styles that's even more of a plus in my book :)
@@metalground212 One of those amazing songs that metal only makes it better. Enjoy the Silence is another one with great metal potential. Other pop songs just don't work.
I think Lady Gaga and Christina Aguilera could have been amazing rock and metal singers if they had decided to go that route with their careers, they certainly have the vocal skills and power in their voices and I've heard them cover rock songs and do great. Such a shame, wasted talent. Britney maybe not for metal, but she would have been a great rock and punk rock singer. Again, unfortunately she went a different way. In general, rock bands and singers tend to be more level headed than pop artists and a lot longer careers.
@@IgnacioAOlivar the name Lady Gaga is cool. I just think she's got the voice for soul, blues, rock and even metal. I know the music industry favors other styles unfortunately. Maybe if she'd been born 10 or 20 years earlier she'd have been a huge rockstar.
I have never heard of Normandie, I just checked them out they are cool I liked them, I will make sure to add some of their music on a video next week! Thanks for suggesting!!
I've gone down the rabbit hole of your vids, highly entertaining, I subscribed and look forward to more. My wife is a huge Nightwish and Epica fan, so I know that metal vocalists blow pop ones out of the water...keep spreading the word!
Yeah, part 2 is urgently needed. Disturbed "Shout", Type'O'Negative "Summer Breeze" and "Day Tripper"... Quite a few still kicking around... Cheers! I.
@@metalground212 the only good cover Disturbed ever did was "Land of Confusion" and don't get me started on "The Sound of Silence", look how they massacred my boy...
Meral is freaking amazing, look up Frog Leap Studios that guy definitely is freaking talented I love his work and the guy is from Finland so english isn't his own language but still makes amazing work
Thanks for the recommendation! He seams to be pretty big in the metal cover music scene. I saw many of his videos and I might include one of his songs in the future! :)
Notice how people are always scared of metal saying it is satanic and sh**t yet you have all of those pop artist making weird AF videos. Like Gaga and Elish I'm sorry but I get super grossed out.
I don't think they are scary, I think they are meaningless and banal. Which is worse than scary. But the Chandelier video is just creepy with what looks like a little girl and Shia.
This is what I love about Lzzy's voice. She can sing with that epic low tone raspy rocker's voice and also hit those high clean and flawless notes. That is talent on a whole different level. And on a side note: I don't know what people see in Billie Eyelashes. Mumble whispering is not a talent and overall she's just plain useless, and now apparently she's singing for the opening credit sequence for the new James Bond movie. Have the producers heard The Pretty Reckless' new song, 25?
I need help, I’ve been looking for the pop artist that sang a metal version of her own song live, I forgot who it was. I know it was a female that sang it at an award if that helps.
If you guys want to see a cool cover of Chandelier and bad guy. Alex terrible from Slaughter to prevail. Did cool covers of both of those songs. If you guys like death metal. 🖤🤘
There is a saying: Immitation is the sincerest form of flattery. I used to think it was metal vs everything else, but it's not, it's just differrent strokes for different folks. Some people enjoy metal others like pop, classical, jazz, latino or any other genre and that's fine. P.s. Also R.E.M. is awesome and can't be considered Pop by any strech of the imagination.
These were ok, but there’s better covers out there. I saw somebody already suggested Normandie’s cover of “Chandelier”, but Wake Me’s cover of “Kiss From a Rose” is solid too, Sycamour’s cover of “Set Fire to the Rain” and at this point I Prevail’s cover of “Blank Space” is one of the better metal covers
I hope that in part 2 there will be Lacuna Coil's version of Enjoy the Silence (Depeche Mode), Nonpoint's version of In the Air Tonight (Phil Collins), System of a Down's version of Smooth Criminal (Michael Jackson) and Disturbed's version of Land of Confusion (Genesis)
I don't know... some of these didn't sound like more than a distortion pedal added to the guitar and that's good enough. I wanted things to be more imaginative.
Ankor, Bad Guy 0:10
Halestorm, Bad Romance 1:03
Trynity, Chandelier 2:00
Within Temptation, Titanium 2:32
Lacuna Coil, Losing my Religion 4:10
Children of Bodom, Oops I did it Again 4:46
i like Graveworm version of Losing my Religion more
@@hilly8000 So I find bad guy and also losing my religion of Leo better.
This is what I needed so thank you for putting this up.
You forgot to add Leo of Frogleap to your list.
Well anything within temptation is gold so.....
Is it just me or are the metal covers more.... alive?
Hell yeah!
Every pop song sounds better in metal to me. You make a great point that they sound more "alive!"
Some pop songs sounds just too shitty to me to sound good even in metal. Some pop songs are great and have that metal potential in them and thus they sound extremely good in metal.
Everyone concentrates only on heaviness. But metal always benefits from some harmonies and other stuff. Pop music usually doesn't have that, so even metal versions don't sound so good. For example, most pop music is in major key and metal works best in minor key to my taste. And there is everything else.
The problem with pop music is that it is so canned, so processed, that you might as well be listening to a piece of wood.
yup
Metal is always better than pop. Change my mind
Mostly, there are a couple good pop songs though
I don't know. I actually like the original versions very much. Big fan of Halestorm, but Lady Gaga is awesome.
The Bille Elish one is the one that I disliked.
@Radar Don huh?
Nothing honey nothing can change our minds metal really do be givin me goosebumps
Every time I see someone react to Pisces, I want a Jinjer cover of Oops I Did It Again haha. But growling the chorus.
I would love to see that lol
Children of bodom did that one. Oops i did it again...great cover
Metal covers is always making pop songs sound good
That scream after bad guy in metal WAS WHAT THE SONG NEEDED
Summertime Sadness done by Within Temptation also is amazing
yuuuup
And Dirty dancer
@@lonelygirl1348 yeah
That reverb in Bad Guy was amazing.
Lacuna Coil's version of Enjoy the Silence is pretty sweet, too. There's nothing wrong with covers, I really like seeing what different people do with the same song :)

Actually I prefer Lacuna Coils cover of "Enjoy the Silence" by Depeche Mode.
@@metalground212 One of those amazing songs that metal only makes it better. Enjoy the Silence is another one with great metal potential. Other pop songs just don't work.
graveworms cover is better...lacuna coils cover of enjoy the silence is good though
Lacuna Coil's version of "Losing my Religion" is Sooooo Good!!!
(And I do love R.E.M. too).
\m/ \m/
Given that's how I first heard it, I thought it was theirs
I think their best cover is Enjoy the Silence
I think Lady Gaga and Christina Aguilera could have been amazing rock and metal singers if they had decided to go that route with their careers, they certainly have the vocal skills and power in their voices and I've heard them cover rock songs and do great.

Lady Gaga before become "lady gaga" played rock. But music industry doesn't want a crazy girl called "stefanie germanotta"
@@IgnacioAOlivar the name Lady Gaga is cool. I just think she's got the voice for soul, blues, rock and even metal. I know the music industry favors other styles unfortunately. Maybe if she'd been born 10 or 20 years earlier she'd have been a huge rockstar.
Title: "Pop Goes Metal"
Me: "Wait, this is not an Amaranthe video?" 😁
These covers gave chills to my BRAIN
I'm hopping Alex Terrible's cover is in here LoL
Was expecting to hear Normandie's cover of Chandelier. Cool to hear a hand I haven't heard of before though👌🏻
I have never heard of Normandie, I just checked them out they are cool I liked them, I will make sure to add some of their music on a video next week! Thanks for suggesting!!

Oh the wonderful notes that the metal singers hit are just so much more amazing then the pop notes
What the title should say is: when pop becomes good music
1:03 just found it on spotify 3 days ago and just fall in love...
Within Temptation's version of summertime sadness by lana del rei is pretty awsome, maybe include it in another video.
Yoooo , Lzzy Hale gave an unbeliveble performance 🤘
I’m surprised Exit Eden wasn’t included in this video.
Rhapsodies in Black is spectacular
@@ZabreDarklight it is!! I wish they made more music :(
Okay, that Chandelier cover by Trynity was way better than I expected.
Nice to see ankor here
within Temptation are so- so- good
Halestorms Bad Romance is epic!!! XD
I’m so glad this was part of my recommendations
Im glad, metal heads and metal heads come in to make the pop community better. By turning every song into metal.
Yeah, part 2 is urgently needed. Disturbed "Shout", Type'O'Negative "Summer Breeze" and "Day Tripper"...
Quite a few still kicking around...
Cheers!
I.
Thanks for your comments I added Disturbed "Shout" on the second part ua-cam.com/video/5ENywnM_ZHQ/v-deo.html
@@metalground212 the only good cover Disturbed ever did was "Land of Confusion" and don't get me started on "The Sound of Silence", look how they massacred my boy...
A Billie Eilish song with actual singing talent exists?
No need to be rude. Some people like Billie Eilish. If you dont like her that much, keep it to yourself.
Billie is talented. You cant say she’s a bad singer but I’m not really into that type of music. But I do respect her ;/
@@amtul6926 she can put music together. That she can do. But from what songs of hers I've heard, she cant sing
@@joshuaschroeder6713 thank you!
@@joshuaschroeder6713 she can sing, and she has a beautiful voice
Every metal cover nailed the pop
gotto say, i am loving the britney and children mix up :)
Meral is freaking amazing, look up Frog Leap Studios that guy definitely is freaking talented I love his work and the guy is from Finland so english isn't his own language but still makes amazing work
Need to check out Leo from Frog Leap Studio’s covers of pop songs.
Thanks for the recommendation! He seams to be pretty big in the metal cover music scene. I saw many of his videos and I might include one of his songs in the future! :)
Leo is the Best :)
He does a better cover of badguy
@@metalground212 there no need to check anyone else out. Noone can compete with him. Not even close.
I was going to make the same comment. He is great!
You wanna hear the Katy Perry I kissed a girl power metal cover by Andy Xiong. Now that's epic.
Metal Covers are always better!
Written by Wolves - Elastic Heart cover
Upon this Dawning - Call Me Maybe cover
One Last Night - Humble cover
Notice how people are always scared of metal saying it is satanic and sh**t yet you have all of those pop artist making weird AF videos. Like Gaga and Elish I'm sorry but I get super grossed out.
I was literally just gonna send this to my friend saying that the pop videos are scary
I don't think they are scary, I think they are meaningless and banal. Which is worse than scary. But the Chandelier video is just creepy with what looks like a little girl and Shia.
Live to Tell by Lacuna Coil (Madonna cover).
Summer Breeze by Type O Negative (Seals & Crofts cover).
Thanks so much Eric. Will definitely check all of these songs out!
Who the he Is seals & crofts. Because I have never even heard of them.
4:17 there's nothing worse than a skinny man who can't throw a punch, mimic a one-two in a metal cover of a pop song
Who was the pop singer that did a metal/hard rock version of her own song and killed it live on one of the award shows
The cover of Lord of the Lost of Bad Romance is also a pretty nice one :)
Ankor super cool💖💖💖👌
Can’t believe they didn’t use LOTL‘s Version of Bad Romance😂😅
Metal always better, definitely,live and love metal.
The Swedish band "Lillasyster" covered Rihanna's "Umbrella", much better than the originial
Of course, don't forget the cover by Machinae Supremacy "Gimme more" by Britney spears.🥵👌🏼
I love that last one. Poor Brittnay. 😂😂😎😎🤘
You should put STDC - Titanium cover man, they did amazing job
Ohhh Metal Ground is doing Gods work 🤘🔥🙏
This what I picture inside my mind whenever I listen to pop.
Should have included In This Moment's covers of Creep and Call Me. Nonetheless, I thoroughly enjoyed the compilation. :)
Thanks will definitely do a second and third part. I just don't want to extend the video to much cuz people don't watch it.
@@metalground212 Awesome! I checked your reviews on Nightwish and Jinjer. Could you do ones now on In This Moment and Arch Enemy?
Ankor son sensacionales
Metal makes everything better🤘
@Ankor!!! Love that version!!
Holy shit. The chandelier one gave me literal chills
Alex's Cover is way better (imo)
@@diego.rss_3552 agreed
This way it can be compared bot of them, it's a great video :3
Lzzy Hale is better than Ga Ga at singing Ga Ga. I’m very impressed.
But not surprised.
I thought you would put bad romance by leander rising
shallow bt floor jansen?
When I saw chandelier I expected Alex terrible but still a pretty good list.
This is what I love about Lzzy's voice. She can sing with that epic low tone raspy rocker's voice and also hit those high clean and flawless notes. That is talent on a whole different level.
And on a side note: I don't know what people see in Billie Eyelashes. Mumble whispering is not a talent and overall she's just plain useless, and now apparently she's singing for the opening credit sequence for the new James Bond movie. Have the producers heard The Pretty Reckless' new song, 25?
25 gave me chills when I first heard it
Sometimes cover is better than the original.
not in this video though
Popsa Дно! ROCK FOREVER!!!
Survivor by Die Happy
Hello by Leo
I at least thought that you would have chosen alex terirble with chandelier
Damn its been a year since Children of Bodom broke up and now im sad
I need help, I’ve been looking for the pop artist that sang a metal version of her own song live, I forgot who it was. I know it was a female that sang it at an award if that helps.
Excelente video bro me gusto mas el cover de Ankor de bad guy
If you guys want to see a cool cover of Chandelier and bad guy. Alex terrible from Slaughter to prevail. Did cool covers of both of those songs. If you guys like death metal. 🖤🤘
The singer in Oops I did it again sounds like Alex Brightman from Beetlejuice
Metal is like Nesquik.
Everything is good, if you add enough Nesquik.
Good!!! Look Brutal 6 with Smell Like Teen Spirit
Qual a diferença?
Lacuna and R.E.M kickass
A guy called leo moracchioli does songs as well from covers
I’m actually pissed they didn’t use Conquer Divides cover of Bad Guy.
Finally I can like 'Bad Guy'. No offence to anyone, but I'm not into mumbling and whispering the whole song.
The covers were very good.
There is a saying: Immitation is the sincerest form of flattery.
I used to think it was metal vs everything else, but it's not, it's just differrent strokes for different folks. Some people enjoy metal others like pop, classical, jazz, latino or any other genre and that's fine.
P.s. Also R.E.M. is awesome and can't be considered Pop by any strech of the imagination.
The Q-Music Sessions Album de Within Temptation 🔥
Graveworm version , losing my religion 😎🤘🤘🤘😁
So proud to be a metalhead in 2023.
Alex terribles cover on chandelier
I love it when Metal does Pop songs better.
well metal has been always go better with pop music all along
How cool~~
Cara muito bom
Que legal saber que existe isso
Obrigada
Ankor actually makes Bad Guy actually good

In this moment's version of In the air tonight is MVP in my opinion
Don't forget 'The great Commandment' , 'Sound of Silence' by Atrocity
Pop:
-boring
-lifeless
-no guttural screams
Metal:
-epic
-lively
-screams for days BREEE BREEE!
Today’s pop yes. But 90s and 80s pop were the best kind of pop IMO
And the best cover is : Blue (turns to red) by Fleshgod Apocalypse.
Hard rock -the 💯👏👍
I don't know... some of these didn't sound like more than a distortion pedal added to the guitar and that's good enough. I wanted things to be more imaginative.
Pop songs sound so much better metaled up 😁
3:14😢best moment
2:11 Doom Slayer singing in the shower
Aww no Exit Eden?
Sorry I had made a whole video to talk about them ua-cam.com/video/547jiR7gfjc/v-deo.html I will include them next time. I promise
Should have use Alex the Terrible for chandelier
