A cover-up is an attempt, whether successful or not, to conceal evidence of wrongdoing, error, incompetence or other embarrassing information. In a passive cover-up, information is simply not provided; in an active cover-up, deception is used.
The expression is usually applied to people in positions of authority who abuse their power to avoid or silence criticism or to deflect guilt of wrongdoing. Those who initiate a cover-up (or their allies) may be responsible for a misdeed, a breach of trust or duty, or a crime.
While the terms are often used interchangeably, cover-up involves withholding incriminatory evidence, while whitewash involves releasing misleading evidence.
When a scandal breaks, the discovery of an attempt to cover up is often regarded as even more reprehensible than the original deeds.
The mildest case, not quite a cover-up, is simply to release news which could be embarrassing but is not important enough to guarantee attention, at a time when other news is dominating the headlines, or immediately before a holiday or weekend.
Lisa Lois (born 22 June 1987 as Lisa Hordijk) is a Dutch singer who rose to prominence after winning the second season of talent show X Factor. In 2009, she changed her stage name to Lisa Lois and released her debut album Smoke.
Lois was born in Wageningen, Netherlands. She studied at the Rock Academy in Tilburg and at the Utrecht-based Herman Brood Academy.
After winning the X-Factor, she released her debut single, a cover of Leonard Cohen's "Hallelujah" as 'Lisa'. The single went straight to number one in the Dutch Top 40. "Hallelujah" went double platinum within one month, selling over 100,000 copies as of today and becoming the best-selling single of 2009 in the Netherlands. Her second single "No Good for Me" written by Pixie Lott and Phil Thornalley was released on 13 November 2009. Two weeks later her debut album Smoke was released. Lisa's third single from the album is "Promises, Promises" written by Pixie Lott, Martin Sutton and Chris Neill.
In August 2012 Lisa announced by Facebook and Twitter she will join Allen Stone with his European tour.

Lois is a common English name from the New Testament. Paul mentions Lois as the pious grandmother of Timothy in his second epistle to Timothy (commending her for her faith in 2 Timothy 1:5). The name was first used by English Christians after the Protestant Reformation, and it was popular, particularly in North America, during the first half of the 20th century.

Holding on to pieces, of our summer, going by
On a wall of memories, at the edges of my mind
Whoa, they used to tell a story
But they're just paper to me now
Whoa, they used to say 1000 words
But now they can't be heard
We ran out of time, said goodbye too soon
Pictures being faded, of the summer nights in june
Blurry all the memories, still remember what was true
Pictures they are fading, changing, leaving
A silhouette of you
Foot stamps on the pavements
I'm retracing every corner we turned to see
If we could have kept these moments from burning
To ashes and dust
Whoa, they used to say 1000 words
But now they can't be heard
We ran out of time, said goodbye too soon
Pictures being faded, of the summer nights in june
Blurry all the memories, still remember what was true
Pictures they are fading, changing, leaving
A silhouette of you
A silhouette of you
A silhouette of you
A silhouette of you
We ran out of time, said goodbye too soon
Pictures being faded, of the summer nights in june
Blurry all the memories, still remember what was true
Pictures they are fading, changing, leaving
We ran out of time, said goodbye too soon
Pictures being faded, of the summer nights in june
Blurry all the memories, still remember what was true
Pictures they are fading, changing, leaving
