I've always loved both but was always biased towards the original, but then about 4 years ago I was driving home one night and Me'lisa's version came on the radio during the quiet storm segment and then it just hit me......I was feeling her version much, MUCH more. So I'ma go with Me'lisa for this one.

Chaka's is cool....but I'll definitely take the original. All that 'Chaka, Chaka, Chaka Kahn' ad-libbing at the beginning is annoying.

Harry Chapins is the best but Ugly Kid Joe did a respectable job with it.

Aaliyah's remix version is SO much better. I like her album cover of the song as well, but the remix just pushed it over the top.

Love both, but do I really need to say who killed this?

Surprisingly, Rihanna didn't botch it....annoying as her voice is. I don't hate it, but the original will ALWAYS reign supreme.

I feel slightly uncomfortable admitting it, but I like Kim Wilde's version better.

I actually like the instrumentation on Johnny's version a bit more, but Bob's voice is 10X better. Another classic tune. Everyone's skankin'. Bob and the Wailers win.

The original is awesome, don't know why The Beatles even bothered, Jimi did okay, Tosh just killed it. Definitely re-did that song the best while incorporating reggae's bass and the guitar. Tosh gets the win.

I don't feel at all uncomfortable admitting that I think Wilde's version crushes the Supremes original.

My verdict: The RIAA should have put Britney on suspension for touching this.

My verdict: Hmmm. Much as I don't want to, I'm gonna give it to Destiny's Child.

Both are trite as hell, but I'm siding with the original cheese rock ballad by Bad English. It has much more nostalgia about it. The Uncle Sam cover is completely unremarkable and disposable.
