Adele's new single "Hello" has been covered by everyone from Rick Ross to Demi Lovato, but now the lead single from 25 has gotten a cover by everyone from Pink Floyd to Backstreet Boys and Green Day. Of course, not all of those acts actually took on the No. 1 single... YouTube star Anthony Vincent took on the track in his new "Ten Seconds Song" video.
After easing into the track with his best go at Adele's drawn out vocals, Vincent launches into a wildly eclectic assortment of sounds, moving on to a layered Alice in Chains vocals, not only with his voice but with his proficiencies on the guitar as well. Lionel Richie comes next, with a nod to the singer's own "Hello" before taking on the Mamas and the Papas while singing "I'm in California dreaming about who we used to be," referencing the 1966 If You Can Believe Your Eyes and Ears staple "California Dreamin'."
As the ballad continues, Vincent nails the boy band sound with a poppy, arena-influenced Backstreet Boys, moving through a severely auto-tuned Lil Wayne, an electronic take on Deadmau5 and a nod to 30 Seconds to Mars, which eerily sounded like their 2005 A Beautiful Lie hit "The Kill."
After nailing Janis Joplin's signature rasp, the YouTube cover artist tackled disco giant Donna Summers, a strangely accurate experimental rock take on Pink Floyd as well as perfecting Sting's vocals with The Police. Jumping into Dean Martin, Vincent embodied all that is the singer's rat pack sound before ending with a lengthy take on Etta James.
Aside from "Hello," Vincent has also recently done a cover of Halestorm's "I Miss the Misery" as he ran through a total of 20 artists and their unique styles. Vincent has also covered Taylor Swift and Kendrick Lamar's "Bad Blood" remix with the sounds of Cyndi Lauper, Shaggy and Pearl Jam and Michael Jackson's "Thriller."
