Original vs Cover Inspired by Mariah's cover of Foreigner's old hit I ask you:
Original or cover? Which version do you prefer and why? You're all welcome to add other "duels". I'll start with.... Lionel and Diana vs Luther and Mariah Stevie Wonder vs John Legend The Temptations vs Rick Astley Dolly Parton vs Whitney Houston | |

Give me Whitney and the originals. BTW,
That's for comparing Stevie Wonder to John Legend.  "Whitney was purely and simply one of a kind." ~ Clive Davis | |

I prefer the original version in every case. Whitney's cover of Dolly's song always got on my nerves for some reason. | |

That's for comparing Stevie Wonder to John Legend.  Hey, John did a cover of the song, hence he's part of this thread. Besides, I really think he did a good job. Well, I think all of the covers posted are pretty good.
Otherwise I too prefer the originals except Endless Love. I adore Luther and for whatever reason I can't stand Diana Ross (sorry people ). With I Will Always Love You it's a tie because those two are so different.
Don't forget to discuss and explain your choices and add your own videos. | |
