On this week's episode of Billboard.com's MashUp Mondays, Bareilles treats us to a jazzy arrangement of Beyonce's club banger "Single Ladies (Put A Ring On It)." Talking of her take on the song, Bareilles tells Billboard:
"If I'm gonna do a cover of a song, I want to completely reinterpret it. It would be hard to imagine it as sort of a doo-wop-y, voice-and-piano kind of song, so I started fooling around with that on the piano, and it ended up being something super-fun."While I don't know if I'd call this "super-fun," it's quite enjoyable and if you take into consideration the fact that Bareilles put together the arrangement herself, you might even call it impressive. On a scale of Beyonce to Liza Minelli...Bareilles' version falls nicely in the middle. Check it out for yourself below the cut.
