Kpop to Epop: Best Kpop English Covers

For a Kpop and Jpop aficionado like me, I appreciate the songs even though I really don't understand them. Music is a universal language, is what they say. But wouldn't it be fun if we can actually understand them. Lucky for us if a group or a soloist would release an English version of their hits like Girls' Generation and 2ne1-for "The Boys" and "Can't Nobody" respectively. Taeyang from Bigbang also released an English version for his "Wedding Dress." But if they won't seem to release one, we rely to other sources. On YouTube, there are a lot of awesome Kpop English Cover artists. Most of them have their own YouTube channels and loyal followers. Also, don't forget to "LIKE" them on Facebook and follow them on Twitter! One of the best Kpop cover artists is Tommy C. He sung an English version for "Wedding Dress." He usually does BigBang songs. He sings about drifting away from his love. Even though they are apart, he'd still be there. He sounds TaeYang. He actually became a recording artist himself. Good for him. Take that Justin Bieber! MoA, a Scandinavian artist who covers WonderGirls, 2ne1 Namie Amuro etc. Somehow she went awol due to a infringement issue and so I read. CALEB does great male Utada covers. Canadian Yabisi is one of the good coverers. Most of her works sound so professional to think she is just a teen. She got some good gadgets there. I like her "I Love You" cover. Not only does she sound like 2NE1, her lyrics have a feel how it should be! Try JD Relic. Another BigBang cover artist. His Blue cover is as good as the original. Great cover. But, his Fantastic Baby, not really. So go ahead check Youtube so you'll enjoy Kpop and Jpop more ^_^
