COVER Request Contest Week 15! - Winner of 50% Post Rewards (in HP): @jessicaossom! Your Turn Next?
Hello everybody on HIVE, and especially the Music Community. My name is Jasper and I'm writing (and singing) to you from South Africa!
I am into the 15th week of this challenging series of posts I have set myself for Thursdays! BUT I Need your Help to keep going please!
This is the challenge I'm setting myself every Thursday: I ask for cover song requests on the MUSIC community (make a comment on this post to take part by suggesting a song for me to try), and then I pick a favourite song to learn and post a live video of me attempting it. The person who asked for the winning song then gets 50% of the post rewards in HP! (If I pick a second song, that person gets 20% of the post rewards in HP as well!) It's as simple as that! (Well for everyone but me who then has to learn to sing and play new songs! Haha!)
You'll notice that I'm not in my normal place, and don't have my microphone or amp... I have gone up the coast to a small village by the sea to celebrate New Years...
This week's winner is @jessicaossom from Lagos in Nigeria, who asked me to do "Easy on Me" by Adele! Well, I sing about a full octave lower than Adele, and it's actually quite a complex song melodically... but let me give it a shot at learning it quickly for you!!
Here is the original version:
So well done to @jessicaossom for winning this week! You win 50% of this post rewards in HP!
For everybody else reading this, please take part! All you have to do is make a comment on this post with a suggestion for a cover song that you would like me to attempt next week. Give it a shot!!
Lyrics for "Easy on Me" by Adele
There ain't no gold in this river
That I've been washin' my hands in forever
I know there is hope in these waters
But I can't bring myself to swim
When I am drowning in this silence
Baby, let me in
Go easy on me, baby
I was still a child
Didn't get the chance to
Feel the world around me
I had no time to choose
What I chose to do
So go easy on me
There ain't no room for things to change
When we are both so deeply stuck in our ways
You can't deny how hard I have tried
I changed who I was to put you both first
But now I give up
Go easy on me, baby
I was still a child
Didn't get the chance to
Feel the world around me
Had no time to choose
What I chose to do
So go easy on me
I had good intentions
And the highest hopes
But I know right now
That probably doesn't even show
Go easy on me, baby
I was still a child
I didn't get the chance to
Feel the world around me
I had no time to choose
What I chose to do
So go easy on me

I love your voice, and your uniqueness.
Even though the song is a very challenging song, you made it simple by doing it your own way.
I enjoyed your version, thank you for the reward too😇
I look forward to seeing more covers from this initiative.
Well done...You did so so so well.
Thank you so much for the request! I think this one was especially good for me learning how to simplify something and make it suit my style as quickly as possible... which is the goal for me in becoming a better musician!
I would love more cover requests from you and any of your friends, so please let people know?
Alright, thanks again.🙂

I loved the way you performed this cover, this is a beautiful song, most of Adele's songs are awesome.
You're such a great singer and guitarist.
Would you make a cover of The Scientist by Coldplay? Let me know. 😁
Maybe, just maybe, I would! I will do two songs this week so I can add that one in!!
I bet with your voice you could do a smash up job on The Unicorn by the Irish Rovers.
Thank you so much for your request! Funny, I have done a song called "The Irish Rover" by the Dubliners and Pogues... there's a band as well? Please keep requesting - you can even ask for the same song again - that proves you really want to hear it! :)
Yes, definitely a band! They're Irish even! And then obtained Canadian citizenship, so we claim them as well. 😂
Please keep sending in requests? My new post is up: @jasperdick/qjnbyddz
Cool idea for a contest man. I'd like to request Jolene by Ray LaMontagne. It's a song I only recently discovered thanks to the Brighton legends @stickupboys but it's quickly become a firm favourite of mine. Let me know if you've already covered it, and I'll pick another. Cheers
ye very cool! cheers for the tag
Brilliant request! My mother and I fell in love with that whole album "Trouble" years ago.
Yes, I am going to give it a try! You are this week's winner!
OMG JASPER I've been practicing this one! and since you know how to play it... you know... can we add it to our cover set?? pleeeeeease? I can sing it without crying now I promise 🙈
what a beautiful rendition though. Thank you @jessicaossom for the request ad @ JasperDick for the performance.
Ohh very nice! Good idea too, how about this one
