Cimorelli: Rise by Katy Perry - Cover Review

Cimorelli's latest cover was Rise by the one and only Katy Perry. I am a huge lover of Katy Perry so when this song was released I was incredibly excited to hear her new music, but upon listening to the song I found that it just wasn't like anything she'd previously released.

Cimorelli released this cover for a member of the #CimFam called Christine, who is suffering from gastroparesis, which is an incurable disease that slows or stops the movement of food from the stomach to the small intestine. Because of this disease it's hard for Christine to consume any food without feeling severe pain or nausea, leaving her malnourished and very underweight.

She was given a feeding tube that runs from her arm to her heart and provides her with the calories and vitamins her body needs. However, the medication and operation she needs to fully overcome this disease are very expensive and not covered by her insurance. So Cimorelli released this cover to help raise money so that Christina can live a normal life again.

Now onto the cover, as much as I did not enjoy this original song by Katy Perry, there is something about Cimorelli singing that can make me love any song. I feel that the difference in voices throughout the song made it so much more different and unique to just one artist singing the whole song.

I found that each sister sung a part of the song that not only fit them vocally, but also as an individual. As you can tell, the lyrics are very powerful and unique and I thought that this fit the style of the girls very much.

Although one improvement I could have made to this video was the actual footage itself, I found that the video was a little bit plain and boring. I know and understand that these sisters have an incredibly busy lifestyle and finding time in their plan to make a music video is probably one of the hardest things, but I feel just small clips in a field put together isn't that much.

I am no professional, but I feel that maybe if the girls over a few days when they were in the studio took some clips of them recording, editing, chilling around and then between those clips filmed some basic lyrics singing clips in between.

I loved that this cover was to help a CimFam, which is why, if this blog post reaches 1,000 views I will personally donate $50 to Christine on her Go Fund Me Page.
