Dan + Shay Perform Flawless Cover Of Ed Sheeran's Hit "Perfect" On The Elvis Duran Show

While Dan + Shay write, produce, sing, and perform in the country music genre, occasionally they have stepped outside the country music genre and dipped their toes in other genres. Many of these artists have influenced and inspired them over the years, including Ed Sheeran who is mostly in the pop lane. 

On January 26, 2018, the duo headed to the Elvis Duran Show studio in New York City to perform their rendition of Ed Sheeran's hit "Perfect". Dan, wearing a white t-shirt and green pants, played his acoustic guitar and sang harmonies while Shay, wearing a black t-shirt with a tan jacket and black jeans, sang the lead vocal. To me, their cover of this song on the show was simple and flawless. I watched this video on repeat for some time in 2018. I could not keep my eyes off the duo while they performed and their vocals were beautiful. Every time I listen to their music or hear them perform live, Dan + Shay always blow me away with their strong vocals and harmonies. To me, they really can sing anything and they always make it sound great.

In my opinion, "Perfect" really fits their wheelhouse as far as vocals go and the topics they previously covered in their songs like From The Ground Up" and other songs that they would record in the future like "Speechless" and "For The Both Of Us". Stay tuned for my take on those songs in future posts.

The chorus of "Perfect" paints a vivid picture. Ed Sheeran sings "Baby, I'm dancin' in the dark with you between my arms Barefoot on the grass while listenin' to our favorite song When you said you looked a mess, I whispered underneath by breath But you heard it, "Darling, you look perfect tonight".
