There are a lot of great acts on youtube and many of them commonly get mentioned in various news pieces. One of my favorite people on youtube and channels is Leo Moracchioli. He does his own covers of songs and plays all the instruments, rearranges the music, sings the vocals and occasionally has other musicians including his wife. He is pretty amazing at what he does. Now I know he has 1.7 million subscribers to his channel so obviously a lot of people have discovered him. Some of you may somehow have not encountered him... This post is for you. He is friggin' amazing!!! I did early on send messages to him trying to get him onto Steemit. Obviously I was an ant trying to talk to the big giant as he walked past. I just need to get bigger, or steemit needs to get so busy that it becomes harder to ignore.
My first exposure to him was this cover of the Adele song "Hello". I like Adele's song, but I actually like his version just as much and it is different.
Adele - Hello (metal cover by Leo Moracchioli) - I've shared this in a post when I first joined steemit

Here is one with Leo and his little daughter.
Elastic Heart (metal cover by Leo Moracchioli)
And the original from Sia. Perhaps my favorite female vocalist.

Then here is one with a mall and a rabbit costume... another great Leo video. His channel is Frog Leap Studios.
Feel Good Inc. (metal cover by Leo Moracchioli)
Here is the original he was covering.
Gorillaz - Feel Good Inc. (Official Video)
Then he also has gone and covered Lady Gaga songs and this is one of his more popular. I personally like this better than the original.

Here is the original he is covering:

Now this next one I need to include because as a grand parent I've heard some of my grand kids singing the original. This has a very different sound when done by Leo, but it is quite awesome.
Let It Go - from Frozen (metal cover by Leo Moracchioli)
Here is the original and it was heavily featured in the movie Frozen and has been sung by a lot of people... including my grandkids.

I'm only going to share one more that I watched today. He is quite prolific. I highly recommend his channel Frog Leap Studios it is highly enjoyable. He is a talent and has a great talent for rearranging songs.
