Top 5 Powerful Covers of “This Is Me” That Will Give You Chills
“This Is Me” — the anthem of unapologetic fabulousness and soul-baring strength. It’s been covered, belted, and bared by some powerhouse vocalists around the globe.

Here are five of the most powerful and unforgettable covers that took the already-epic song to another level.

1. Keala Settle – Oscars 2018 Performance

Let’s start where it roared. Keala Settle is the voice behind the original, but her live Oscars performance is on a whole other plane. Raw. Emotional. Goosebump-inducing. When she clutches her chest mid-song, trembling and tearful — you feel every word. It’s not a cover, technically, but it’s a masterclass in vulnerability and triumph.


2. Loren Allred – The Voice Global Compilation

The voice behind “Never Enough” from The Greatest Showman showed us she could also slay “This Is Me.” In various tribute videos and live events, Loren’s crystalline vocals and emotional storytelling bring both vocal precision and heartfelt drama. She makes it feel personal.


3. The TNT Boys – Your Face Sounds Familiar: Kids

Don’t let their size fool you — these Filipino wunderkinds belted this song like tiny divas-in-training. Dressed in full Keala Settle drag, they stunned judges and audiences with harmonies that soared and energy that radiated pure joy. It was camp, talent, and pride rolled into one.


4. Emily-Jane Conidi – The Voice Australia (2022)

Emily brought powerhouse vocals with a theatrical flair. Her voice built like a storm, with calm resolve in the verses and a full-throttle explosion in the chorus. The emotion she poured into every line showed that she wasn’t just performing — she was testifying.


5. One Voice Children's Choir (2018)

These kids transform “This Is Me” into a radiant, collective declaration—less about bravado, more about belonging. Their harmonies bloom with sincerity, letting youthful voices carry a message of self-acceptance that feels both gentle and unshakable. It’s the kind of performance that sneaks up on you: soft edges, strong spine, and a heart wide open—proof that power doesn’t always roar; sometimes it rises together.


If you ever doubt your power, cue up these covers and let the harmonies remind you: you’re brave, you’re bruised, and baby, you’re glorious.
