I chose "Other" because being a country music fan, I am kinda impartial to this version right here.

You want real emotion, listen to Eva Cassidy's version.

No thanks, I had a big breakfast this morning. I don't think I could stomach the saccharine.

Just cos you prefer a version doesn't mean another version isn't good or better. I like Take That's Beatle medley but I don't go saying they're a better band than the Beatles.

Oh and I voted Eva Cassidy,one of my favourite songs.

I never said it was better, go read ukturtles response he said "real emotion" a spirefull comment against what I had said, if anything he was the one saying Evas was better!

I never said once that Evas was bad, or worse than Leonas all I said was that I prefure Leonas because of the emotion she puts into the song because of her past. Then uktutrle said it wasn't real emotion, i quoted him saying yes it was and posted a video. Then you quoted me saying that I shouldn't say leonas is better or Evas is not very good which I never said

How hypocritical. I do understand more people think Evas is better but i still have an opinion, and i wont be alone.

Sunshine, that was not a spiteful comment. Far from it.

Well you said if i want real emotion listen to Evas but I believe Leona shows more emotion in my opinion because there is a background behind her singing it. Also I have seen her live in silence. it was only my opinion princess didn't need to but in and pretend that I said Leonas was better

Leona Lewis is too robotic to portray emotion.
