Hold It Against Me (Britney Spears) by Kurt and Sam

I was watching this cover arranged by Kurt Schneider and sang by Sam Tsui on Youtube, and was really impressed by their creativity and talent. To be honest, not all of their covers are better than the original counterpart. Such as their Just The Way You Are (Bruno Mars) cover, I even like the master version better.

And perhaps their DJ Got Us Falling In Love (Usher) cover, too. In my opinion, Sam doesn't suit singing party songs. His part are more suited for acapella songs or the form of songs such as the one I embedded here. Well, rumours have it that it is Kurt who is doing all the system and uploading job for their songs. Yet it is quite plain that Sam gets more care and praises then Kurt does. Sam does deserve his praises for his wonderful voice and endowment in making good use of his vocal range. Not to cut is his cute looks (Am I the just one to be reminded of our Darryl Tan by looking at Sam especially in this video clip?), too. But Kurt's presence is difficult to be missed, too. In this video, he is the guy who plays the drum pad next to Sam. Look at the way his fingers dance on the pad! It adds the heartbeat to the song. It's not a new style that many dance musics which are composed of techno tunes are in the market. Many of them are received relatively easily by audiences of this age. Britney's come second in heavily techno-rised song is not surprising, if you were to mention her second latest album. Tune wise, Britney's Hold It Against Me isn't really that bad. But Kurt's arrangement and Sam's powerful singing give the strain another character. The lyrics somehow become more affecting and the tunes are granted a right life! I even think true voice beat techno musics all the time. Lastly, if you were to listen closely, Kurt managed to enter a tiny fragment of Gimme More (listen to the singing) and also Stronger (listen to the piano some where following that) into this cover. See if you can realize it : Not only this, they too give other mesh-ups of two songs and the results turn out to be just as well. I am the case of fans who do buy original albums if I really like a singer. This is not the 1st time I see their songs in Youtube. And as I was enjoying this video clip, I kept wondering if they sell their songs in CDs form, also, so that I can just hunt all of them land in one trip to the music record store. I know they do sell their songs in iTunes. But well, I'd be complete the moonlight to have all their songs compiled in CDs.
