Ailleurs l'herbe est plus verte. variety lab feat.donovan -is this the last time?- sliimy -wake up- whomadewho -cyborg- joyeux palto popo! essie jain -you-

In a world where Mika wouldn't exist, Sliimy could be totally original and amazing in his own right. Too bad, two years ago Life In Cartoon Motion happened and the world never was the same after that. Once you've aknowledged this fact, it's easy to appreciate Sliimy, a French 20-year-old singer who's releasing his first album Paint Your Face on April 6. His first single Wake Up is a really nice pop song which will probably have some [...]

Sliimy , 20, é um cantor pop/neo-folk francês, super fofo e tem uma voz bem singular, bem singular mesmo. Descobri o garoto através de um cover da música " Womanizer" da Britney Spears, que despertou o olhar de alguns outros blogs também e você pode ouvir a baixo; e olha, foi bem difícil encontrar infos sobre ele, o pouco que achei estava em francês, tipo... rs. anyway, o que vale é a sonoridade, e ele soa muito bem, canta em inglês e disponibilizou no myspace, além do cover de " Womanizer " mais quatro canções [...]

So I know there have been a ton of "Womanizer" covers floating around, most famously by Lily Allen and Ladyhawke . I honestly never thought I would be mentioning Britney Spears on here, however I think the cover by the Frenchman Sliimy takes the cake...I think i just like when he says Lollipop. Does he remind anyone else of Mika ? Sliimy - Womanizer par sliimy

Yup, another Womanizer cover! This time by Sliimy out of France does a great version of the Britney Spears song! Plus anyone that wears a cat mask is cool with me :) Don't forget to check out Sliimy on MySpace by Clicking Here where you can also hear Sliimy's cover of the Ray Charles song Shake Your Tailfeather !
