Listen To This: Just Because

A different spin on a modern classic!

Sia's Breathe Me is one of our favorite songs of all time.

Like a sundae drenched in hot fudge, this re-interpretation by UPENN's Off The Beat vocal group is just exquisite and scrumptious.

Enjoy it below. And, remember, Perez is your friend and hopefully this website warms you up a bit.

Hey Perez!!! Thanks for recognizing Penn's "Off The Beat" ! I've been reading your site for over a year now, and I just think it's cool that the greatest school on earth was mentioned on your awesome ass blog.

BTW, will you marry me? You could live in my dorm room in Harrison . It's really fucking nice.

No offense to anyone, but it wasn't Nip/Tuck and it's not new. It is an absolutely beautiful song, but for any true Six Feet Under fans, you'll know where this song is from!

#36 LA_LIZ- You're a fucking BITCH! Are you trying to BLAME Heather for having cancer, you stupid douchebag? You don't have to smoke to get lung cancer, you judgmental retard! Dana Reeves (Superman's wife) had it and never smoked a day in her life. Grow a brain, you fucktard!

mario, honey - why is every analogy you make about fattening food? girl - it's time to drop a few dress sizes. sweetie - i bet you have terrible body odor with all those fat flaps of skin and hair and sweat and fecal matter rubbing together. i just care so much about you. you know if the CIA dropped a bundle of your used underpants out of a plane we could finally smoke out bin laden…that stench budussy might even kill the poor bastard

UPenn OtB is one of the consistently one of the best co-ed a cappella groups in the country. Hope people realize that what they're listening to with this song is ALL voices, not a single instrument. Check out WashU's Mosaic Whispers too…they have some amazing covers of everything from Coldplay to The Beatles and Interpol on their myspace. They're definetly up there on my list.
Breezy says – reply to this

COOL! I am a Philly local and love Off the Beat! How fun to be mentioned on Perez!
Lenore says – reply to this

164

Ohmigod! Perez, thank you so much for posting that! It's sooooo wonderful. Of course I absolutely adore the original (it's very addicting), and this version just blows me away. I really like how the vocals replaced the piano in the song - it's very unique and creative and just sounds positively scrumptious. Many hugs and kisses for you for posting this … oh, and brownies. Do you like brownies?

Perez, the first time I heard Sia's Breathe Me, I actually had to fight back tears. It's one of those songs that effortlessly tugs at your soul, and is one of my all time faves as well.
The UPENN group rendition you posted for us - well, it was brilliant. I'm listening with waves of shivers moving up and down my back. Thank you so much for sharing that and for starting my week off with such warmth.

Off The Beat is the Shiz-nit! I have seen them perform live a trazillion times. Do yourself a favor, book a plane ticket. Book a hotel stay in Philly. Perez planted the seed for you; now fester and cultivate your new-found addiciton!

Britney Spears & Demi Lovato's First X Factor Critique! Listen Here!

Girls are on fire!!!

We won't get to see how the ladies did until the fall, but today in Austin, Britney Spears and Demi Lovato took their seats as the new judges on The X Factor. Someone had the foresight of smuggling in a recording device to the Texas auditions and we've got the audio from the ladies' first critique!

And you know what? They sound like old pros!

Check out the video (above) to hear Brit Brit and Darling Demi give their thoughts on the first contestant of season two!

They both sound so GOOD! Strong and confident; it doesn't sound like either of them were nervous at all!

Bravo, ladies! We can't wait to see you in action!
