How to test enjoyment levels for a research study on listening to a piece of music

vs watching a cover video? my hypothesis for this research is seeing a musical piece performed will significantly increase enjoyment levels of participants. I will create a rating scale for enjoyment.

will play a song by the original artist and then play a video of that song being performed by a few local people, then ask participants to fill out a rating scale of enjoyment based upon the 2 selections heard/seen.

What else can I do to test enjoyment levels for this research using the audio and then the cover video of same song?
 
A fault I see in your experiment is how do we know which one is "better."
I enjoy covers by Cassandra Wilson and Terre Naomi better than the original sometimes and as a former drummer I can say there is a consensus that you can either write or play but not both; making the original composer actually worse than a well done performance by someone else.

What I would do is play both the videos with the correct corresponding music then switch it up. Play the original song with the local people and the bad song with the music video. That way you can isolate what is causing most enjoyment.

The sheet would say test A, 1-10. test B, 1-10 ETC.
You say "now write your enjoyment level for test A.."
At the end you make a graph to see where the most enjoyment was. If the proper video and proper song got 70 points then the proper video and bad song got 65 points and the bad video and proper song got 10 points and the bad video and bad song got 4 points, you can conclude that the proper video is contributing to enjoyment.
