"Could Lorde (aka Ella Maria Lani Yelich-O&amp;apos;Connor) and her younger sister India Yelich-O&amp;apos;Connor be creating a new breed of &amp;quot;Royals&amp;quot;? The 15-year-old blonde New Zealander caused a stir on Jan. 19, when she followed in her famed sister&amp;apos;s footsteps and posted her very first cover, &amp;quot;Say Something&amp;quot; by A Great Big World and Christina Aguilera.&amp;#xA0;\r\n\r\nThe tune, which hit no. 1 on iTunes after Aguilera, 33, performed with the alternative duo on The Voice, is soft and melodic, which fits perfectly with the young singer&amp;apos;s angelic voice.\r\n\r\nIndia&amp;apos;s rendition is definitely a rough cut, with occasional flaws in harmony and general recording, but her talent shines through, as does the family resemblance.&amp;#xA0;\r\n\r\nLorde has not spoken out about her sister&amp;apos;s first cover on social media, but it&amp;apos;s already getting plenty of Twitter support from excited fans.&amp;#xA0;\r\n\r\nThough she was surprisingly snubbed from the Best New Artist category, Lorde is nominated for four Grammy awards at the Sunday, Jan. 28 show -- Song of the Year for &amp;quot;Royals,&amp;quot; Record of the Year, Best Pop Vocal Album, and Best Pop Solo Performance."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
