Friend of Tha Feedback Chester Gregory, now going under the moniker CHESS, has released a video of a cover of One Direction’s “What Makes You Beautiful” in honor of National Bullying Prevention Month. CHESS is working on a new album after wrapping his latest role on Broadway in Sister Act with Raven-Symone. While I’m not entirely familiar with the original, CHESS offers up a beautiful arrangement with some great backgrounds underneath a video featuring a woman struggling with inner & outer beauty. It’s a juxtaposition that leaves you mesmerized.

Check out the above and if you like the song, you can stream it as well at CHESS’ SoundCloud. I had no idea National Bullying Prevention Month existed, and apparently this video is in honor of someone:

In support of National Bullying Prevention Month and in response to the tragic loss of Amanda Todd, we felt it appropriate to release this short film & cover of WMYB, which was shot prior to the incident. One Direction’s hit song What Makes You Beautiful is an uplifting song, encouraging one to let go of insecurities and realize their fullest potential by first recognizing the beauty & strength within.
