Here are a few awesome covers by Lebanese artists that we found on YouTube. Let us know which ones we missed!<br \/>  <br \/>  <b>Ingrid Bawab &#8211; Drunk in Love<\/b> <i>(Beyonc\u00e9 Cover)<\/i><br \/>    <iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"500\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/jPTKHOXmYms\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>  <br \/>  <br \/>  The lyrics aren\u2019t all there, but Ingrid\u2019s voice is one of the best you\u2019ll ever hear. She also does impressive covers of Lean On and Royals. It\u2019s great when you feel like the singing is organic and effortless. Goosebumps guaranteed. <br \/>  <br \/>  <br \/>  <b>Pindoll &#8211; My Baby Just Cares for Me<\/b> <i>(Nina Simone Cover)<\/i><br \/>    <iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"500\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/YjHeocOkuFM\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>  <br \/>   <br \/>  In case you\u2019ve been living under a rock and don\u2019t know the wonder that is Nina Simone, Pindoll\u2019s version of this song will definitely kick-start your obsession. The lead singer Erin\u2019s voice is soulful and incredibly unique, and the band put an almost reggae-like spin on the original. A must-hear!<br \/>  <br \/>  <br \/>  <b>Hiba Kadri &#8211; Make You Feel My Love<\/b> <i>(Adele Cover)<\/i><br \/>    <iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"500\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/eWqXQS1YZco\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>  <br \/>   <br \/>  This one\u2019s for those days when you want to hug your pillow, wallow in bed and think of your High School crush. Not a single bad note on the whole track. Hiba\u2019s been singing for a while, and she has a range of covers on YouTube-almost all of which are just her singing into her webcam-absolutely inspiring. Oh, and brace yourselves for 2:30. Pure magic. <br \/>  <br \/>  <br \/>  <b>Mashrou\u2019 Leila &#8211; Toxic<\/b> <i>(Britney Spears Cover)<\/i> <br \/>    <iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"500\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/hysyHUhcAvc\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>   <br \/>  <br \/>  The only bad thing about this cover is that there\u2019s no studio version of it. The song has been performed live on several occasions, though. The band revamped the musical arrangement and rewrote the lyrics\u2026.wait for it\u2026.in Arabic. Miles sexier than the original, with Arabic swear-words to match. Careful not to show this to anyone under 18, no matter how big a crush your little sister has on Hamed. <br \/>  <br \/>  <br \/>  <b>Xriss Jor &#8211; Care About Us<\/b> <i>(Michael Jackson Cover)<\/i><br \/>    <iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"500\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/AJesxOuAnsw\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>  <br \/>   <br \/>  Amid piles of trash and a looming garbage crisis, Xriss used her voice to send an important social and political message. If you haven\u2019t heard this version, you absolutely must. Lyrics have been adapted to Lebanon\u2019s waste situation, and parts of the video are filmed during the You Stink protests. Not to mention this ex Voice finalist has a vocal range that\u2019s hard to find, to say the least. Xriss\u2019s version of Sia\u2019s Chandelier is also mesmerizing! <br \/> <br \/> 1","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><big>There\u2019s nothing better than a familiar song with a twist,
