Battle of the "Heartbreak Hotel"s

4 different songs with the same title. Which 1 is the best?

Elvis Presley - Heartbreak Hotel


The Jacksons - Heartbreak Hotel


Whitney Houston - Heartbreak Hotel


CC Catch - Heartbreak Hotel



My vote goes to the Jacksons. Although, the CC Catch song is not bad. Very similar in ways to the Jacksons song.

Sorry that I couldn't find studio versions of Elvis or the Jacksons.

The Jacksons, Heartbreak Hotel is known as This Place Hotel on there Triumph album, because Michael didn't want to song to be confused with the Elvis song.

The official title is "This Place Hotel", but come on, it's clear the title is supposed to "Heartbreak Hotel", that's how the hook goes, and that's what everyone calls it informally.

More importantly, the song actually was titled "Heartbreak Hotel" on the original album and then changed later.
