As the62nd Grammy Awardsquickly approach, thesong of the year categoryremains stacked with incredible hits from music’s brightest stars.Lady Gagaand first-time nomineesBillie EilishandLizzoare just a few artists representing the eight songs that have been nominated this year.
By now, you may have heard these hits on repeat ahead of music’s biggest night, so why not swap out the originals with these stunning covers?
Alyssa Shouse‘s haunting vocals will sweep you into a trance, much likeLady Gaga‘s inA Star Is Born. The incredible range and quality of Shouse’s voice may reduce you to tears, given the moving lyrics and beautiful musical arrangement.
The VoicealumnaLynnea Moorergarnered more than 3.7 million views on her Eilish cover. The way she’s able to make the song her own while mimicking the star’s soft yet staccato rhythm is a testament to her true talent.
“I don’t know where Brandi Carlile came from. I think God pushed her off a cloud or something, right into my lap,” Tucker toldParadeof Carlile, who co-wrote the new song — with Phil and Tim Hanseroth — off of Tucker’s first album in 17 years,While I’m Livin’. While no one can really compare to how good the original is, Carlile’s cover comes extremely close, given her hand in crafting the emotional track about appreciating life before it’s too late.
This song is particularly difficult to sing, given the high octaves, but to crush it while playing the ukulele? We’re addicted toMackenzie Johnson‘s rendition and can’t get enough of heroriginal music, too.
The six Cimorelli sisters were all gifted with a god-given talent to sing. Their rendition of “Someone You Loved” highlights their delicate harmonies and their ability to tap into the emotions that drive the song.

The best part about this collaboration betweenMadame Xand guitarist Ki is their ability to serve the uplifting spirit of Lizzo‘s “Truth Hurts” with an acoustic version. Their stripped-down harmonies prove that the song can be performed with a softer touch and still make a big impression.
The 62ndGrammy Awardswill take place at Los Angeles’ Staples Center on Sunday, Jan. 26. The telecast will be broadcast live on CBS at 8 p.m. EST.
