Javier Diaz is the next Eddie Vedder? Long live Grunge Rock!

For someone who knows Pearl Jam's lead vocals Eddie Vedder, listening to Javier Diaz will truly deceive them.

Javier Diaz who auditioned for the reality search Mi nombre es sings Pearl Jam's Yellow Bed Letter surprisingly similar. As I watch and listen to Javier singing, I could say that he could re-popularize the Grunge rock once again. At first when Diaz told he is Eddie Vedder, I couldn't agree but when he sang, damn truly sounded like Eddie.

Reminds me of the guy who sings like Freddie Mercury .

Anyway, for the younger generation who's not familary with Pearl Jam, they're a grunge rock band in the 90's. In early 2000 they re-popularize the classic song Last Kiss which became their highest charting single in Billboard Top 100, according to Wikipedia.

At the peak of the grunge rock, Alice in Chains, Kurt Cobain's Nirvana, Soundgarden and many others were at the mainstream back then. It was also the decade when MTV Unplugged was so popular. MTV Unplugged is an MTV show that features artists performing their hits in acoustic version.

Watch Pearl Jam's Yellow Bed Letter official music below and have the final say if they sounded the same.

Freddie Mercury is back and sings "Somebody To Love"?

Freddie Mercury is back. I wouldn't be surprised if this video will went viral.


"Somebody To Love" lyrics


Can anybody find me somebody to love?
Each morning I get up I die a little
Can barely stand on my feet
Take a look in the mirror and cry
Lord what you're doing to me
I have spent all my years in believing you
But I just can't get no relief, Lord!
Somebody, somebody
Can anybody find me somebody to love?

I work hard every day of my life
I work till I ache my bones
At the end I take home my hard earned pay all on my own -
I get down on my knees
And I start to pray
Till the tears run down from my eyes
Lord - somebody - somebody
Can anybody find me - somebody to love?

(He works hard)

Everyday - I try and I try and I try -
But everybody wants to put me down
They say I'm goin' crazy
They say I got a lot of water in my brain
Got no common sense
I got nobody left to believe
Yeah - yeah yeah yeah

Oh Lord
Somebody - somebody
Can anybody find me somebody to love?

Got no feel, I got no rhythm
I just keep losing my beat
I'm ok, I'm alright
Ain't gonna face no defeat
I just gotta get out of this prison cell
Someday I'm gonna be free, Lord!

Find me somebody to love
Can anybody find me somebody to love?
