Amateur Covers and Aspiring Artists
The internet is filled with casual performances of popular songs. Amateurs play and sing, often showcasing talent as aspiring artists. An example is Mariusz Mrówka, a participant in “The Voice of Poland,” who posted his version of T. Love’s hit “I Love You.” The music sounds like the original, only the voice is completely different.

The YouTube channel Deep Domek features remixed Polish songs. “Długość dźwięku samotności” was enhanced with additional effects—beats, loops, and reverb. Some viewers appreciate it, while others prefer the original. The video garnered over 1.5 million views.
