Song Review: Victoria Justice - You're The Reason (Acoustic)

Aside from Big Time Rush, I don't usually post about Disney Channel or Nickelodeon-spawned artists. But that was before I heard Victoria Justice's acoustic version of her song "You're The Reason." Off of the Victorious soundtrack, this acoustic version is so much better than the original over-auto-tuned, upbeat version. The song starts off with a slow, piano medley as Victoria shows how great her vocals really are, compared to her other enhanced songs. This version of the song is sweet and simple, and sounds of what Sara Bareilles would make a hit. Quite frankly, this song is just all around better as a ballad.

This song is definitely worth the listen!

Concert Review: David Cook - This Loud Morning radio tour

Just weeks before This Loud Morning was released, I was able to go see David Cook in action at a radio stop he did to promote the new album. It'd been years since I had seen him live and though I wasn't sure what to expect, I wasn't too surprised to find out that he hasn't changed a bit. Still the same sweet rocker he was during his Idol days, except now with a lot more experience and obviously excited for the release of his sophomore album.

Cook walked out cooler than ever as he sat in front of the small group of fans who were lucky enough to get tickets to this event at The Grill on the Hill golf course in Massachusetts. Intimate, yet fun as Cook performed an acoustic set against a beautiful river and the sun setting in the background. Cook sang some old favorites like "Come Back To Me" and "Light On", as well as his new single "The Last Goodbye", which has become one of my favorite songs by him, and a cover of The cars' song "Drive."




In between songs Cook would go into his famous banters, apologizing to golfers for being loud and talking about his new album. As cute as he is in between songs, once he starts hitting those notes, it's mesmerizing. Cook has a uniqueness and endearing tone to his voice like no other rocker I've heard. He can go from rough to emotional to both all in one song, and that's the greatest part about watching him live.
