There’s a new reality show in town! Best.Cover.Ever is an innovative talent competition series presented by Grammy-winning artist Ludacris and produced by Ryan Seacrest Productions and Endemol Shine North America. The series will premiere exclusively on YouTube on November 20 and will have as stars participating Demi Lovato, Katy Perry, Keith Urban, Jason Derulo, Charlie Puth, Backstreet Boys, Flo Rida, Nicky Jam, DNCE and Bebe Rexha.

Best.Cover.Ever. will give emerging musicians from all over the world the opportunity to achieve international fame. Throughout the series, a new music superstar will challenge the participating musicians to perform a version of one of their favorite songs. Musicians can play the song in their own distinctive style as they strive for top prize: the opportunity to perform with the musical superstar a duet that will premiere on YouTube.

For Nicky Jam’s turn, the chosen song was “El Amante,” and fans all over the world sent in their renditions. The Puerto Rican reggaeton star had a lot of covers to choose from, from punk to a Mexican regional version, with some ballad renditions in-between and others that stuck to the original arrangement. Here’s a sneak peek of some of the selections that Nicky Jam will have to go over carefully, to select the big winner that will perform with him.
