[WG] KPop Celebrities Cover Nobody


Wonder Girls Nobody is known as the biggest hit of 2008/09, the best year in Kpop history according to many fans [including myself]. Wonder Girls have performed this song countless times in the past and present and will continue to do so. The song was not only popular among all kpop fans, but also among other celebrities so here are some covers.
Miss A [Fei, Min, Jia]
Starting off the list with quite possibly the strongest contender. This is definitely my favorite cover. Considering that they performed the ballad/Rainstone version, I think they did exceptionally well. Fei and Jia have performed Nobody before with current Wonder Girls member Lim during their JYP Sisters days.
Miss A [Fei, Jia, Min]
Yes, that’s right, they performed it not once, but twice. I was disappointed that Suzy missed out both times though. This time though they did the dance version and Fei showed off her beautiful voice again. It seems Wonder Girls and Miss A are fans of each other.
2PM
Here we have another JYP Nation family member performing the song. 2PM’s Junsu and Jaebeom do a great job taking on Sunye and Yeeun’s part respectively. The other members also show their playfulness throughout.
Wonder Boys [Seungri, Jo Kwon, Taemin, Shindong, Sungmin]
I always knew Seungri was able to adapt to performing Wonder Girls’ songs really well, but Jo Kwon had the perfect attitude on stage. The whole audience seemed to enjoy the performance, particularly Wonder Girls and 2PM. I never get tired of watching this.
Jo Kwon, Min, Sungjong
On Happy Together, Sungjong said he wanted to claim Jo Kwon’s spot [since he was given the title of Second Generation Jo Kwon]. Of course, when Jo Kwon and his female counterpart Min are involved, you can always expect some Kkap. So while Sungjong showed a sexy style, Min and Jo Kwon promoted their Kkap style.
Jo Kwon
This is a video of Jo Kwon filling in for Sohee during one of their rehearsals. He’s pretty lost most of the time but towards the end, his Kkap comes out and he just wings it. You can hear the audience laughing and girls are laughing too while pushing him to his spot.
T.O.P [with Sunmi]
This is a clip from a Wonderbang special stage for Gayo Daejun. Sunmi opens with the chorus while T.O.P raps. The lyrics were changed and the rap itself was lengthened. I love this version. T.O.P has finally met a match for his intense gaze.
Kara
This is one of the weakest covers on this list. I always knew Kara fell short in the vocals department, but even Gyuri’s angelic voice couldn’t match up to Yeeun or Sunye’s powerful vocals. On a different note, when Wonder Girls perform this song, they exude elegance but Kara gave more of a cute [song-wise] and sexy [dancing-wise] vibe.

Daesung



I couldn't find the video of this but yay for whoever made these gifs. :)

Various Artists
This is for all the covers I missed or couldn’t find good videos of. It really shows just how popular the song was.
Which cover is your favorite, or do you prefer the original?
