Joseph Devries

Yesterday, I was on Twitter as per usual and I received a notification of a new follower. Joseph Devries.

I wasn't quite sure who he was so I decided to check out his Twitter profile and I noticed in his bio that he said he sings songs on YouTube. For a second I thought, "Here we go again, another one." but then I actually went to go check out one of his covers.... My jaw dropped.

The first cover that I watched was of "Little Things" by One Direction. I think I replayed it about 10 times because I just couldn't believe it. Joseph Devries- oh my gosh. His voice is absolutely heavenly... In fact, I thought for a moment it wasn't real and that it couldn't possibly be him that was singing. It just seemed too good to be true.

I decided to look at what other covers he had done and I stumbled across his cover of "Diamonds"by Rihanna. I cried. Diamonds is one of my favourite songs and I love the lyrics... But the way he sings it- I don't know quite what it is... he makes the words seem so much more real. So it literally brought me to tears when I heard it.

After composing myself... :) Hahaha... I watched the cover of "So Sick" by Ne-Yo and was once again amazed but it was slightly different because this cover is raw - i.e. without the mic and the computer etc. Just Joseph Devries and his guitar.
