There’s many things that are fun to YouTube: puppies, Jake Gyllenhaal, Wanda Sykes turd (no, really, do it!), etc. But one of my favorite YouTube subjects is covers. Yep, sometimes it’s annoying because a good majority of YouTubers doing covers have what I like to call AIAS (American Idol Audition Syndrom) — ya know, where one thinks they are the best singer in the world when in reality their vocal chords make you want to jump out a window. But sometimes you will land on something that blows your mind…and this is where Nikki Flores comes in.

Nikki Flores isn’t some chick in Wisconsin with a webcam though (not that there’s anything wrong with that!); she’s already a signed, established artist in many ways. She hasn’t really broke ground much in America but I believe she has a ton of potential to do so. I wrote about her last year as I discovered one of her songs and absolutely fell in love with it, the song Let It Slide, with its Ryan Tedder-like feel and drippy sweet lyrics.

The video you’re about to see is new and judging by the way it ends, apparently Flores will have a single out soon. Something I will definitely be looking out for (and so should you). Her voice was made for mainstream pop music as it fits nicely over the song she covers with piano in tow.
