So yeah. Recently I've been digging around the depths of that weird part of Youtube, and I've been unearthing some amazing singers. This thread is therefore dedicated to showing them off to others, and perhaps getting them some more (well-deserved) exposure.

I found this one while looking for NicoNicoDouga (Think Youtube in Japan) dancers who often cross-post their videos. At first I wasn't expecting much, as I've found a few singers who seemed good, but then turned out to be awful. Thankfully that's not the case. She sings this song in English, but the lyrics are translated from the original Japanese song, and it's beautiful.

Another discovered through dance videos. The original version of this song was the first I saw in an NND, so it has always stuck with me. The artist's name is Clear, and he actually has a few albums already. I'm not entirely sure if they're actually produced by companies or not though, so I feel he deserves a place here.

Yup. Another NND cover. I'm not entirely sure why I like this so much, but I do. She has a pretty voice.

Kate Covington. I bought her album from her directly, because she makes some beautiful music. She performs all the vocals, instruments and production herself. Just for that I feel she deserves a lot more recognition than she gets.
