A musical review of the year turns into a YouTube hit
The many annual reviews in December can annoy sometimes really. But luckily there are exceptions. Because this video you should absolutely look, better said: listen.
To reminisce musically about the year for their fans, Michael and Carissa Rae Alvarado, also known as "Us The Duo", have summarized the biggest pop hits of the past twelve months .
Only with the help of a keyboard and their voices, the married US musician covers twelve of the most successful songs of 2014 in two and a half minutes - and ends up earning himself a YouTube hit. Within two days, the clip has already been clicked over 1.2 million times.
These are the songs that the couple Michael and Carissa Rae Alvarado interpret in their medley extremely worth listening to:
"All of Me" - John Legend
"Shake It Off" - Taylor Swift
"A Sky Full Of Stars" - Coldplay
"Am I Wrong?" - Nico & Vinz
"Chandelier" - Sia
"Break Free" - Ariana Grande
"All About That Bass" - Meghan Trainor
"Happy" - Pharrell Williams
"Maps" - Maroon 5
"Rude" - Magic!
"Problem" - Ariana Grande
"Rather Be" - Clean Bandit ft. Jesse Glynne
The duo is not only a YouTube phenomenon since this musical review:
Three years ago Michael and Carissa Rae Alvarado met by chance as a solo artist during a video shoot and immediately fell in love with each other. The two thoroughbred musicians have since combined their talents and made themselves as "Us The Duo" with melodic cover versions of current hits a name in the music world.
Their videos are spreading at breakneck speed on the YouTube and Vine platforms . The result: 1.25 million Facebook fans and a record deal.
In the future, the two would like to bring their talent increasingly into their own music, but with such a success, the fans may certainly look forward to the one or the other musical review of the year.
