While a capella groups and YouTube stars will continue to cover Carrie’s music, one of the more unusual, yet great covers of “Before He Cheats” came from R&B star Joe Thomas, better known as just “Joe.”
Joe changes the song to “Before I Cheat” and gives the song an R&B feel (”Right now, she’s standing up singing some ghetto version of Mariah karaoke”) and sings the song from a guy’s perspective. As always, Joe’s vocals are great.
People have gotten pretty fond of calling Carrie a “Crossover Artist,” and this convergence of R&B and country through this cover seems to tell the story pretty well.
