Where did you find them? Like-
[Jr. Aori groaning]
- Oh, I could cry.
- And he actually knows that I exist.
- It still doesn't feel real right now.
- I'm shaking.
- Okay, wow, I need a second. [laughing]

I've seen this before and I've watched it multiple times.
Emily, I love your voice, I also love your pronunciation.
Pronunciation, it had like a, kinda like a British hint
to it, but also I appreciate the finger pickin';
the riffs and the strums that you were doing.
I hear the changes and the way you change it up
and also the different inflections that you give
to the melody, and you make it look so effortless.
I hope that one day I can hear more covers of my songs,
'cause you do such a good job at 'em, thank you.

[mouse clicking] - Emily, I love your voice.
And this song, I gotta say, "Have we met before"
is a really hard song; there are not many places
to breathe in this song and so, [laughing]
it gets really, really hard to sing.
So the fact that you're doin' it on your own,
making it your own on this Fender, super cool.
- Oh my God. [laughing]
Oh wow.
It just makes me really happy to hear he listened to it
multiple times because he loved it;
hearing that makes me super-happy.
Coming from the artist himself, the one who made the song,
it's such an honor.

I love this song,
I just think it's a great, medium-tempo ballad,
and to find two people whose voices
work really well together is actually
a lot harder than you think.
That's like the best thing,
when music makes you think of a moment
or transports you to a physical place when you're listening
to it and this cover did it for me.
[mouse clicking]
♪ Swear I feel you-- ♪
- Whoa! No way! [Shoma laughing]
♪ Maybe you and I have history ♪
- What I really like about this collab,
it's a great balance; the beginning that I'm hearing here,
I get a good sense of your voice, I think it's Shoma.
And then when Sheetal comes in and hits that high note,
there's this clarity, a resounding clarity where my heart
feels full and I feel like I'm breathing crisp, fall,
autumn air.
So thank you, guys, for singing this song.
- That's crazy,
that's so awesome. - Yeah.
- How is that real?
Me and Shoma are like, "Oh, let's make a cover,
this is a fun song."
- Yeah, I'm so glad to share that.
[Shoma laughing] - I'm shaking. [laughing]

I don't think I've ever seen that.
I don't think I've ever seen a song of mine covered
in ASL; super cool.
♪ Have we met before ♪
♪ Maybe in another life ♪
This is something that I have not had a lot of experience
with, but recently I've been looking at a lot of art
and finding that some of my favorite artists are also deaf,
and so they create a lot of art that has to do
with the importance of ASL or captions or subtitling
and doing it properly and being inclusive of that.
And so, to see that right now at this moment,
it kinda hit different in many ways.
It's really cool to see that and to experience a song
through sign language.
[mouse clicking]
♪ Swear I feel you ♪
♪ In my memory ♪ Whoa.

I don't think I've ever seen a song of mine covered in ASL.
It's super cool to see this song hit so many different
communities and to see it expressed in this way.
- The fact that he just saw that, that is absolutely insane.
One of the things that I guess got me into sign language
is my little sister is special needs;
that was really moving to hear him say that
about it bringing awareness, making people think
about other people's perspectives.
It's just, that's, it's crazy. [giggling]

That falsetto part is really hard to do.
[singing] We could go, we could stay.
[normal voice] Really hard, but he nailed it.
[acoustic guitar playing] [man singing in Korean]
A lot of effort went into the making of this cover.
I remember when I was doing covers, it was like me
singing in front of a wall on a backing track.
Dude, you put like effects in there and mixed it out
and have like reverb echo things going on;
this is a production, so thank you.

Hey. [Jr. Aori singing in Korean]
I hope I'm not wrong, but I don't think,
I don't think he's Korean.
[Jr. Aori laughing] And so the fact that he also
had like really, really good Korean pronunciation,
I'm impressed. [mouse clicking]
- Oh man!
That means so much.
Yeah, especially he inspired me to...
sort of start my music career.
I'm actually Philippino and when I was really young,
[laughing] I used to dance to K-Pop and sing their lyrics.
Releasing music in Korean is definitely something
close to my heart as well, so him saying that about
my Korean, [laughing] it means a lot, it means a lot.

[mouse clicking] Do you know what I love
about this cover? I love that you felt every single lyric
in your body and your facial expression as you were singing.
I literally feel like you cursed at me through my song.
Like I feel like I should go F-off,
[laughing] because it was like-

I'm making him laugh! [laughing]
- First of all, thank you. - Thank you.
- I love that you felt every single lyric
in your body - Yes!
- and your facial expression - Thank you.
- as you were singing.
You were like, telling me a story
and that juxtaposed with your cute little pillows,
who are smiling, [Paula laughing]
and you telling me to F-off with your facial expressions
in the song; it's given me new life, so appreciate it.
Paula, [laughing] thank you.
- It's only been like, maybe like a couple of years
since I've grown the confidence to show my original songs,
my cover, so the fact that someone that I admire
is complimenting me? Yes.
And he noticed the pillows? Ah, I love him.

- Oh my gosh.
I don't know, I've been a fan of him for so long,
this is kinda crazy.
I have never had someone critique my singing before,
'cause I just kinda sing for fun, but the fact that he
critiqued it, this is actually so incredible.
[mouse clicking]
[upbeat rhythm music]
- So thank you, Glamour, so much for having me today
and thank you to all my fans
for covering these incredible songs.
I am on tour, I'm doing 51 cities,
so I'm at a city near you and I also have a new album,
it's called "There and Back Again."
It's out, available right now, so please stream it;
the lead single is "Lost on Me."
And be happy, be healthy, stay safe, I love you guys,
