Piano Covers of Pop Songs

[DJCowboy]

I was just on youtube and found some pretty good covers of songs that you don't normally here played on piano but sound amazing. Here are some:

My Chemical Romance - Black Parade
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GucF9LzuFmM

Kanye West - Heartless (this one was awesome)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HmdO9FpZm-I

Miley Cyrus - The Climb (Hate her and her music but this cover impressed me a lot)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uRpehXxSZZc&feature=channel

Beyonce - Halo
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zgbsFP_9BCQ&feature=channel

T.I. - Dead and Gone
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Et-sq-8bTn8

I actually don't normally listen to these songs but on piano I could listen to them all day! If there are any you can find of other songs that you wouldn't think of being done on piano, please post! It doesn't have to be pop, it can be any other like death metal, electronica, etc.

I've never heard of any of those songs.

I'll check them out.

In the meantime, you should see if you can find the piano version of Only the Strong Survive by Flaw. Volz has such a strong, amazing voice.

Cool thread.
