Can YOU Sing: Rihanna - "Stay"??? These Folks Can!

3/12/2013 5:26 PM ET | Filed under: Rihanna • Music Minute • Can YOU Sing???

Yet another record!!!!!

Once again, we had a huge turnout for our latest "Can YOU Sing?" competition! We received more covers than ever before with our selection of Rihanna's Stay!

It was easy to pick a winner, but - in this case - it was almost impossible to pick a 2nd place, as there were sooooo many equally good submissions!

So, check out the EXQUISITE 1st place entry by Winsor Jones above!

Those harmonies slay!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Their voices work so beautifully together!!!

And check our very worthy second place entry by the very young and very talented Jasmine Thompson below and a WHOLE BUNCH of really awesome honorable mentions after the jump!

Kendra and friends!

Daniel Joseph Baker and Sumner

I didn't love any of them this time around. Most of them were just 'okay' in my opinion. LEORA - nice voice, but you look bored out of your mind in your video! Playing with your feet in the beginning, then playing with your nails, etc. There is no emotion in your face at all - terrible!

The first place duo was horrible. Stiff, reading the lines and mechanical at best. Give me a break - no artistry there.

Am I the only one who thought Leora had a terrible voice? Pretty but a pretty out of tune/breath voice.

Perez, these are all great entries with a lot of talent, but I think you made a mistake not including Danielle Vaughn's submission. Her cover was raw and beautiful and anyone reading this comment should take the time to search her video on YouTube and watch it. Saying it's worth your time is an understatement.

Here is the link for anyone who wants to watch it:

Again, Perez these guys are great but you need to show Danielle some love!

sorry guys the link didn't show up, but you guys can type in Stay by Rihanna ft. Mikky Ekko Cover by Dani Vaughn in the search bar! Trust me, it's worth it! C'mon you're probably already on youtube!

That girl Jasmine Thompson should seriously be signed to a record label. Her voice is so beautiful and touching, and on top of that she is beautiful. You can't deny the talent.

" I want you to stay …" is a great soulful song.
