To be honest, I am not a big fan of cover versions, originally, but recently I start paying attentions to the covers, which sometimes surprised me with the delightful and amazing talents exhibited by these later artists. The part that impressed me most is that apparently these remakers took incredible challenges in the original version of songs sung by some very popular and famous singers, yet churned out really excellent music; occasionally even more awesome than the original pieces. In some cases, the cover interpreted the meaning of the lyrics in deeper or fresher angles that original artists failed to present.
In case some people don’t know the term of “cover version”or simply “cover” , please allow me to explain a bit; a cover means, in music landscapes, an attempt made by some musician(s) to remake a song or a piece of music recorded previously.
Tonight, I’d like to introduce you a cover version of song– “Secrets” done by Tiffany Alvord & ThePinaoGuys. The original song was sung by OneRepulic. In my opinion the cover is better than the original. Well, it’s only my opinion, please listen to it , and you’ll be the judge. J

I’d agree with you that 19 years old Tiffany Alvord indeed is young singer, and she knows how to take the advantage of it as well. :)
However, it seems to me that at least in this particular song, she shows her talent beyond radiant youth by interpreting the original lyric in a fresh way. For example in the clip, at the rocky hill slop she was able to reveal her inner concealed emotions while in the public setting, she put on brave and seemingly happy face. In such contradicting delivery mechanism, the songwriter’s intention embedded in the lyrics are exposed and reflected through her voice and her acting in a real convincing manner.
这个女歌手令我唯一想到的就是年轻，年轻，年轻。。。。。。
