Today’s song is One Direction’s debut single from 2011, What Makes You Beautiful. This song won the 2012 BRIT Award for Best British Single and the music video is apparently the 18th most watched music video in history according to YouTube. It was covered in 2012 by the Piano Guys with a very clever performance involving a lot of grand-piano-string-plucking. I suppose my version is probably a bit more Piano Guys than One Direction!
