Last month, Grammy Award-winning singer Chrisette Michele gave an interview with Daum Music in which she praised teenage singing sensation and 15& member Baek Yerin.

The American singer said she was moved to tears while watching Yerin's rendition of "Like A Dream."

"I recently watched 15& member Baek Yerin sing 'Like A Dream' online. Although she looked as young as 15 years old, I could not believe how much she sounded like me," said Michele. "When I saw her perform, I started to cry like a baby."

Covering songs is, at times, dangerous business. Artists run the risk of underperforming when compared to the song's original singer, being called 'unoriginal' or worse, being labeled an imposter.

When it is done well, or when the song's arrangement is fresh, a cover has the ability to launch a singer into the limelight.

With such a remarkable response from Chrisette Michele, Baek Yerin has started being noticed by industry professionals around the world.

Michele later uploaded the "Like A Dream" cover to her Twitter and sent a video message to the teenager. "I'm sure there are a lot of people who have been impressed by your performance as well," she said in the message. "Thank you for showing your sincerity and your heart."

Obviously, Baek Yerin along with her 15& musical partner Park Jimin, are talented young ladies with powerful voices.

Jimin was the winner of K-Pop Star, a reality singing competition show and shortly after the show finished, signed with record label JYP Entertainment.

Yerin, had already been a trainee at the company for several years following her appearance on Star King where she was introduced as an 'R&B genius' at only the age of ten.

Still at the beginning of their careers, 15& do not have any sort of expansive repertoire behind them, but they do have drive and talent. Given the opportunity to explore their own sound and experiment with different styles, a lot can be expected of Jimin and Yerin in the future.

At nearly twice their age, Chrisette Michele has already released four studio albums, won a Grammy Award for her song "Be OK" and has worked alongside some of the biggest and most prominent names in music.

The American singer-songwriter has paved her own way in the industry from her gospel beginnings to her unique jazz and hip-hop infused R&B sounds.

A collaboration between 15& and Chrisette Michele would need to be a little different from a typical artist mash-up.

Not wanting the young Korean singers to fall into the "cover trap" reworking an old song together would not be in everyone's best interest. Writing a new song to perform together also does not seem like the right way to go about things as Michele is so powerful on her own and there are some style differences and language issues to be considered.

What would, then, be the best way to go about seeing 15& perform with Chrisette Michele would be in a live concert setting. Michele has already praised Yerin and Jimin for their talent as singers, but the young girls are still relatively inexperienced as a whole. Being invited to open for Chrisette Michele on tour would be an exceptional way for them to gain valuable experience.

Chrisette Michele, too, would be able to spread her music more easily around Asia by pairing up with the Korean stars.

The Grammy-winning singer has recently released her fourth studio album Better and has signed on to support Keyshia Cole and Mary J. Blige in their tours this year, but perhaps the next solo tour she holds could feature 15& as a supporting act.
