IU covers Gee, Lies and Sorry Sorry

Besides Navi, IU is another solo female singer that has an incredible vocal range and she is still only 16.

In the past few weeks, IU has released a couple of UCC videos showing her in the recording studio as she covered several hit songs in recent times. On the 4th July episode of KBS2TV Yu Hui Yeol's Sketchbook, IU appeared before a highly appreciative live crowd and stunned host as she performed acoustic covers of Gee, Lies and Sorry Sorry while strumming the guitar. She did a helluva of a good job with the covers and really showed to everyone again what she is capable of.



She also performed her own songs, Boo and You Know which sounded better than the usual. Must be the live band and music equipment.. and IU.



She ended with an english song, Tamia's Almost.



Many thanks to purpleheights36 for tip and CodeMonmonSeason2 for videos.


Which IU cover did you liked best?

ooh wow this is the first time i heard her~ i love her voice… sometimes it’s a tad squeaky when it gets to a really high note, but since she’s only 16, she has lots of time for practice and training.  though despite that, i think she’s already better than a lot of older female singers… great =] ohh and also her english is great! can’t wait to see her future in the music industry.

I dore this girl to death.
Covers were adorable. And this version of “Boo” was so strong. She should not dance, imo. She sounds so damn good when nothing interrupts her vocals.

I really loved her voice when I first heard it in early 2009 with Mia, then I heard her album and Gee cover she surprised me. A very good relaxing voice when she say Gee, lies and Sorry Sorry (abit funny too eh?)

She is amazing is so many ways. She is definitely going to be huge, I wish she would make her version of the song lies.

IU is my favorite young solo artist. She’s almost as pretty as she is talented.
Her being so underrated really shows what kind of music the public prefers. Synthesized upbeat pop songs, just ask Black Pearl. Who’s Black Pearl? Exactly. Damn her company for making her wear those tight little pants, she’s just 16, let the girl wear a dress or something. These companies are really exploiting their artists, shamelessly, and I’m talking in general.

Love her voice and songs ^^.
She’s pretty talented for her age..but she’s mega under-rated O.o
It’s quite sad that she has to do all these covers to get herself recognised more..

I think Navi’s covers were slightly better, although with Lies, IU definitely pulled it off :D.  A new twist.  Sorry Sorry wasn’t that great though.  Nothing wrong with the vocals, she’s soliiiid.

She’s cute! :D
And she has an amazing voice.
My favorite cover would have to be “Gee”.
I didn’t recognize “Lies” until she sang… Seungri’s part?
But she did great!

 
tangy's avatar

i picked lies because it’s a rap song yet she made it into her own
and the melodies were beautiful

i really love IU….she doesn’t use that “cute” high pitched voice and some female artists tend to go for…..she doesn’t need it because she IS cute…and super talented

i liked her first single better and was a little disappointed by “boo” but we’ll see how her future goes
