Cameron Mitchell

You guys remember in November when I posted about Tanner Patrick? And how he was awesome? Well, I follow him pretty closely, because if you couldn't tell from that post, I totally adore the boy. And he posted a new video this week. Not JUST a new video, but a COLLABORATION video. Oh yeah. So not only was it a REALLY good collaboration (can you tell I'm excited?) but I was like I need to find out who this boy is that he worked with. So I youtube'd him.

Lo and behold, I was introduced to Cameron Mitchell. Now, not being a fan of The Glee Project, I had no idea who he was. (Apparently he was a favorite but dropped out because he didn't think it was for him? Don't quote me on that, that's what I'm getting from this Pop Crush recap lmao) But wow did this boy blow my mind! I can see why Ryan Murphy wasn't ready to let him go when he bowed out of the competition.

His voice is very... smooth. I feel like someone is rubbing velvet on my ear drums. (That's probably really weird to say.) On top of that, he doesn't just do covers, which is refreshing given that the majority of the youtubers I talk about do mainly covers. In fact, as we speak I'm listening to his beautiful song "All My Love." Seriously, I feel like he's singing to me. And just me. It's awesome.

Oh, but that is not all with Mr. Mitchell. He pairs sooooo well with other singers. Like I said, his collab with Tanner is one of my favorites and he and Damian McGinty (that utterly adorable Irish boy who I think won The Glee Project? He was on an episode anyway)just mesh SO well together.

I honestly can't say enough good things about this kid. From his awesome glasses to his little, self proclaimed nerd shoes, I can't really find anything that I DON'T like.

Of course, you know how I do. I can like them all I want, but it's ultimately up to you. But for real, you need to go listen to him. NOW.

GO DOWNLOAD: You can pick up his original stuff on iTunes!!! You can also check out some more covers by him on his Soundcloud. (I think I've covered all the bases lol Youtube, iTunes and Soundcloud. Go at!!!)





And lastly, the video that introduced me to him :)

Top 10 Discoveries of 2011: #8

Name: Tanner Patrick
Original Post:http://corneroflostandfound.blogspot.com/2011/11/tanner-patrick.html

Why: Well, for starters, he was one of my favorite posts to write, so that has to count for something. He is also STILL the most adorable thing I have ever seen. He is also still my favorite person on Youtube, so that has to count for something too. Really, the only reason why he isn't higher is because I'm still waiting for his original song (But I definitely don't doubt that it'll be amazing. Because, well... like I said before, I think he can do no wrong.)

What they've done since I've posted about them: WELL, he has been added to the 4th Annual Unsilent Night music festival in Dallas where he'll be playing the Merch Now Main Stage 1. (It's a pretty big deal because that's the stage the headliner, All Time Low, is playing. So yeah, Tanner is legit.)

He also did a cover of mashup of Christina Perri's "A Thousand Years" and Swtichfoot's "Twenty-Four" and it's absolutely beautiful.

There are a few things you should probably know about Tanner Patrick before I get into the meat of this post.
1) He was another Siri suggestion.
2) He is the most adorable thing to happen since puppies. Yes. Puppies. And if you don't believe me, just look at the picture below. He was Toon Link for Halloween. Your argument is invalid.

3) He is the only person that has made a version of "Pumped Up Kicks" that I thoroughly enjoy. (That's right. I don't even enjoy the original.)

That being said, I have high expectations for anything Siri may suggest to me, mainly because she has such awesome taste in music, so I mean, Mr. Patrick had a lot to live up to. (Especially since I've been known to prowl Youtube for cover singers and I don't mean to brag, but I've found some EXCELLENT singers via Youtube. So yeah, stiff competition.)

However, Tanner Patrick has one of the sweetest voices I have ever heard. It oozes with sincerity and if we're being honest, I've listened to his cover of "Stereo Hearts" like 10 times today.

He also plays all his own instruments. So far I've seen the acoustic guitar, the keyboard and the drums.

And, on top of all that, he doesn't just stick to one genre for the songs he covers, which is refreshing to see. I love to see artists tackle different song types and make them their own.

I actual think this boy may be able to do no wrong, and I am EAGERLY anticipating his own original work, because if he can do this with songs that already exist, I can only imagine what he can do with his own music.

Go Download: He currently doesn't have anything for download but go like his Facebook to be informed as soon as his single drops.
