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?

yes she has covered these songs many times before, she did a good job especially on Gee. But you know good covers don’t make a big star. her songs still matter after all. She has a good vocal, now all she need is a hit song to kick off. good luck

She’s got great vocals and she’s cute! I personally think SNSD’s Jessica rocks the hair better though.. xP

I loved her cover of Almost. I still don’t understand why she would be given a song like Boo when she is infinitely capable of more. I hate that song.

I’ve loved her since I saw her videos of covering kpop songs. and Boo is pretty catchy. Can’t believe we’re the same age.

This was REALLY good. Everyone was so amazed and the host looked hilarious. He was struck man. She should get more attention but solo artists never get too much attention anymore :/

IU is very talented indeed. She’s a year younger than me but more advanced at playing guitar & singing than me. ><

I really liked her cover of Lies because she sang a melody for the rap bits and it was nice to hear something different.

I’ve heard her perform all these covers before prior to this show, and I loooove all her covers. But the first time I heard her cover Lies, I was absolutely in awe. She completely gave it her own twist.

She’s only 16, and has so much more time to grow. She has a hell of a vocal range too… she’s singing a lot of higher pitches here, but compared to her debut single with MIA, it was quite low.

i wish she would stop doing covers and do her own songs..i mean they’re good and all and thats how she received more attention but..yeah. and she needs to get better songs to do. “Boo” was annoying.

omg she NEEDS to record a studio version of GEE….it’s so good! or she at least needs to perform the whole song!

IU!! I loved you ever since Mia. I hope you will soon use your voice to show your full potential with more ballad-y songs, not Boo ;( But.. if you really decide to go the way of Boo, then go. Fans like me will stop at nothing to support you and cheer you on ^^♥ IU IU IU IU I♥U!!

she’s a great singer and all, but i don’t understand why she doesn’t start releasing her own shit. yeah, these covers were great the first time i heard them months ago.

she sounds really good! but.. doesn’t Boo sound like Hilary Duff’s My Lips Are Sealed, the chorus is really similar. The way she sings reminds me of Younha and Jessica, she sings really well live smile

Almost! I’ve been listening to that song so much recently. I really like her cover, and her accent’s isn’t that bad! Just a bit more feeling.

Wowww, she’s really amazing! I enjoyed her covers very much. smile

IU should be more popular! Out of all her covers, i’d pick Sorry Sorry as the best. Tough choice between Lies & Sorry Sorry. >>;;

 
Hyuu's avatar

oh, my god… Sorry, Sorry sounded so good…
I never heard of her… I’d better check her songs tomorrow :D

Amazing! I really enjoyed it very much, especially since Gee and Sorry Sorry aren’t easy songs to make acoustic. Lies is awesome too! You go girl! :D

Her cover of Almost by Tamia is sooo freakin awesome! and to do a cover of Lies and make it her own is amazing! She is soo cool!

oo, shes pretty & good :D

hope to hear her more

 
Bri Bi's avatar

Wow…IU did a freakin amazing job on those covers! I want her to record Lies!!!  That was soo good! Her voice is really pretty.

I can’t believe she covered Tamia’s “Almost” ! Thats one of my fav Tamia songs!
For those who don’t know, Tamia is a very popular African American R&B singer known for her incredible and outstanding vocals….I am so impressed she covered one of Tamia’s songs. I really wanna see her do Tamia’s “You Put A Move On My Heart”

Wow IU is pretty good. I don’t like her song Boo though. lol.
