In August of 2010, DJs Frankie J and DJ Alex of RnBSpot.com premiered a song called ‘I Want Love’ on their radio show and claimed it was an exclusive unreleased Rihanna track. The infectiously upbeat pop dance track quickly caught on and circulated online. To date, ‘I Want Love’ has been played over 201,000 times on YouTube alone, only 5 months after the song was originally leaked. Although the voice on the song sounds somewhat similar to Rihanna, to the surprise of many, it belongs to 15 year old emerging pop star Marirose.
‘I Want Love’ is an insanely addictive song that’s been stuck on repeat for days, despite the release of Britney Spears’ new single ‘Hold It Against Me’. Actually, play these two songs back to back and you’ve got yourself one hell of a dance party!
Not only does Marirose deliver an incredible vocal for someone who’s only 15, she also co-wrote ‘I Want Love’ with pop singer Kristinia DeBarge and producer Jordan Omley of The Jam.
Internet Celebrity and YouTube Star Michael Buckley featured ‘I Want Love’ this past week on his show What The Buck and viewers immediately took a liking to Marirose’s unforgettable vocal style. The word on Marirose as pop’s newest discovery is quickly spreading online and we’ve caught the fever!

Taylor Swift opened the door for a lot of young female country singers, but I bet she never expected competition. Meet 14 year old rising country star Cheyanne Welch.
Cheyanne Welch, a California native, has been singing and performing since she was 3 years old, which comes as no surprise after we heard her debut single ‘Perfectly Imperfect’. Cheyanne was discovered by a Virgin Records representative at an event in Los Angeles when she was just 10 years old! Since then Cheyanne has made her way to Nashville and has her eyes set on the Country Music Hall of Fame.

Emily Wells is a 26 year old LA based musician who creates a sound as difficult to describe as it is unique. She infuses hip-hop with classical music and indie experimental rock, and grabs you with her haunting singing style. Emily puts on a truly mesmerizing live show, building each song live on stage by looping her different sounds. She’ll use a violin, a child’s xylophone, a keyboard, and that’s just getting started. Emily is known for her “symphonies,” and she will knock you down with her smooth and evocatively sensual rendition of the Notorious B.I.G.’s “Juicy.” Listen to both her and Biggie’s version below and be sure to check out her myspace page at www.myspace.com/emilywells.

Have you heard of Kat Badar??
I’m concerned that I hadn’t before yesterday…listen to this voice!
Kat has over 20,000 subscribers on youtube and her cover of “Run this Town” with Traphik (timothydelaghetto2) was given notice thanks to a tweet from Ashton Kutcher. This girl, although obviously young and amateur, has a natural talent with a lot of power. Watching her sing, its easy to see (and hear) she has true passion and soul behind that incredible potential.
Check out her soulful cover of Musiq Soulchild’s “Don’t Change” with Jeff Bernat below and catch “Run this Town” (below) and subscribe to her youtube page at http://www.youtube.com/user/katbadar.

We’ve been following YouTube star Tiffany Jo Allen for the past 2 years and her latest cover video has caught us by surprise. Tiffany Jo is an award winning yodeler and chart-topping western singer with over 10 million of views on YouTube, but in her latest cover of Tokio Hotel’s ‘Automatic’ she’s toned down the twang and delivered a soft and compelling vocal worth of praise.
