Last night Beyonce broke the record she shared with Lauryn Hill, Alicia Keys, Norah Jones, Amy Winehouse and Alison Kraus for most GRAMMYs won by a female in a single night. On last night’s GRAMMY Awards, Beyonce took six awards (the previous record being five) including Song of the Year for “Single Ladies”.
In honor of this event, Diplo and Switch’s Major Lazer covered Beyonce’s “Halo”, which won Best Female Pop Vocal Performance and was nominated for Record of the Year.
This one goes up there with the Big Pink’s cover of Bey’s “Sweet Dreams”. Download the MP3 below:

Major Lazer “Halo” (Beyonce Cover) http://prettymuchamazing.com/mp3/major-l... thoughts on this one? better than the original?
RT @pmablog: Major Lazer “Halo” (Beyonce Cover) http://prettymuchamazing.com/mp3/major-l... thoughts on this one? better than the original?
@pmablog I honestly don’t get it. Did you like it?
@gaston213 oh, i do! were you a fan of their album?
@pmablog Yeah. Going to see them in SF at Mezzanine in April with Miike Snow/Rusko. I think this has to do more with the source material?
@gaston213 i like it. it’s a fresh an original take on a Ryan Tedder’s tired take on the pop song (Bleeding Love, Already Gone, Halo).
@pmablog I can totally agree with that. In fact what kills it for me is when the original piano peaks through. you familiar w/ Red Astaire?
@gaston213 i’m afraid not.
@pmablog Start off with this, It’s called “Love to Angie” & is a rework of Angie Stones “I Wish I Didn’t Miss You” http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2K9HEY79P...
@pmablog Rework of Erykah Badu’s On & On http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ad0hjsCmu... Not bad for a red head from Sweden. let me know if you want the rest
I can’t tell… did he change up the lyrics?
It’s actually not “new”. Diplo tweeted this back in November last year and no one picked up on it til he tweeted it again last night.

Lovin the Major Lazer covert, but the BigPink cover of Sweet Dreams is second to none
