The Golden Voice of Charlie Puth

Well, today's a day in for me because (possibly) due to sushi I kept too long and did not eat with wasabi, I have developed a major case of HIVES and my face swelled up and you really didn't need to know any of that but yeah.

On one hand, I get to take a day off. On the other hand, I hope this goes away soon so I don't have to keep stressing out about this. Since I've got nothing but time today...

I've had more time than ever to squander spend on discovering more of the HEAVEN SENT VOICE that is Charlie Puth's.

Now would be a really good time to put in a disclaimer. I am just going to type out how I feel here regardless of how juvenile or 'high school' it's going to sound, because honesty. And because deep down I really feel like someone like Charlie is worth shouting from the rooftops for. So, if at any point you get creeped out or annoyed by how fangirl-y this all is, just know that you have been forewarned. NOW ON WITH THE PARADE.

HELLO REALLY BAD PAINT JOB

You probably already know him as the singer of the emotional hook in the Furious 7 unofficial theme song 'See You Again', which also features rapping by Wiz Khalifa BUT HE IS NOT WHO I WANT TO TALK ABOUT TODAY SORRY WIZ.

As you can tell, he looks absolutely out of this world and he sings like a dream too. I know of quite a few Youtubers but I actually had no clue as to how big his presence on there was until I went a-seatching and it was like HOMG HE HAS SO MANY COVERS AND THEY ALL SOUND SO GODLY *ERUPTS INTO MASS FLAMES OF FANGIRLISM*

Excuse me. 

He's not just a pretty face who can sing too. He beatboxes and apparently produces the tracks for his covers as well, and the best part is he almost always doess justice to them. I'd even go as far as to say he elevates them, because he makes em his own. It's just a shame he deleted (or privatised?) most of the covers and originals he put up on Youtube, based on what I read in many a comment section, due to him signing with a major label or something. I don't think it's something he wanted to do, but possibly something that his management asked of him. We'll never really know the reason why, but thankfully many of them are still floating around on Youtube, so if you're a newly converted rabid fangirl like me you are SUREEE to find them. 

Also I need him to do a showcase in Malaysia so badly so I can kidnap him  I can hear that voice of his live. That's the only reason why ;) 

If this post got you excited about Charlie in any way at all, here are a few covers and originals I've heard from him so far that I think really demonstrate his versatility and vocal prowess. He also just released an EP titled Some Kind Of Love recently and I love love it, of course. One of my faves is this. 

Did I mention his falsetto makes you FEEL THINGS. How can anyone not look at that face of his and hear him and not absolutely melt into a pile of undecipherable goo. 

This is also one of the newer works from him which features the very beautiful Meghan Trainor. [SPOILER ALERT] they get to kiss at the end. NOT COOL MEGHAN.

Even though it's no fault of mine, I apologise for the lack of high resolution options for this vid. This is particularly important because this is THE cover that got Ellen (yes Degeneres)'s attention and got her to sign them to her label. Also irrationally jealous of Emily because she got to work with Charlie on an Adele ballad SIGH.

This is the cover that catalysed my quest for all the other covers. I swear this is like a Pokemon catching quest. A good friend of mine rightly pointed out that this song is notoriously hard to sing, and for a male vocalist to pull it off so spectacularly is even more impressive. 

In case you can't tell yet, Charlie Puth is a star y'all. I'm sure many of his Youtube fans who were there with him since the beginning must feel kinda sad that he is no longer their well kept little secret, and with See You Again and his EP his profile is bound to rise in a huge way. But really, I hope great things for this guy. He's brilliant and the world needs to listen up. KBAI END OF FANGIRL POST.
