Wow this bitch is horrible she sounds like she's bored as fuck and didn't want to sing this AMY LEE sang this the best .... Omg this shit made me laugh
I love her voice don't get me wrong Amy lees voice is beautiful but with this song Fionas voice fits with this song you can hear the sadnees in her voice that's the whole point in this song emotionless sadness and depression
I love all the versions of this song! Let's just stop arguing over who's best and agree on this one thing: Danny Elfman, who wrote this song, is a genius.
This is not bad at all, but to me the lyrics seem too fast paced with the music and her voice is a bit too low (and it sounds a little bored, I said little) Now it does show some depressed emotion (like a sense of hopelessness) in there, but not as much as say the original or Amy's. This is just my opinion. =)
This is good, but i have to say i prefer Amy's. I'm not going to go into why, because ill end up with a bunch of people hating on me XD This is still good though ! I'm glad i listened to it,
Not being picking between this version or Amy's , I don't like this version due to the deep voice I like the movie's sweet high pitch because of Sally's innocent good heart shows in it but maybe that's just me
Dude I hate Amy's version. Emotion my ass. It sounds so contrived. Fiona Apple serves this song with the perfect monotone creating the perfect atmosphere. And Fiona Apple is VERY emotional. Listen to her other songs!
To everyone saying fiona has no emotion, you are fucking insane. It is meant to be depressed, and is how she made it, you dont think the woman can sing? look on here (youtube) Fiona Apple I want you Elvis Costello, then try telling me she has no emotion in her music... yeah you wont.
I like this version more but mostly because i think amy lee is a bitch.no offense to fans,i like her music i just dont like her.Plus amy has to strong a voice for this song.she doesnt have the almost broken sound that this song had in the movie.
im sorry but i really don't like this that much... Sally's song is not supposed to sound dark,powerful, and all that. I think her voice is to low to sing this, and i think Amy Lee is better, but the original beats all, especially this one. she did good and if there wasn't an original i'd like it but........... there is.
You obviously do not know what someone sounds like singing from their nose. Besides that, it's a completely different genre. And no, saying 'she sounds like shit but I guess people have different opinions' because it's still pretty insulting. If you don't like it, that's fine, but don't just outright insult it, please.
@NekiiFTW Well hun seeing as I was number one in Butler county,Ohio chosen out of over 100 schools for the city wide honor chorus and served several years in vocal training since I was 3 years of age,Yes I do think I know A thing or two about music and how its supposed to sound and this girl sounds like shes singing from her nose,And also since it is a free country Im aloud to say she dont sound as good as Amy Lee,I said everyone is different,So they can have there opinoin and I have mine :)
I really can't say I care what qualifications you have, because honestly, she's not singing out of her nose. I really don't care why you opinion matters to who, you shared it with the internet, and it did not care. Also, you aren't 'aloud' to say what you like, you are allowed to. And frankly, I can share my opinion that you need to get a reality check as well, because it works both ways 'hun'. It's not exclusive to you. Lastly, the internet is not a country, derp.
@NekiiFTW Ok...I like Amy's version better,I dont think this kind of sound/music/lyrics fit her genre...I happen to love her version of Across the universe,She does have talent but dont like this particular song for her! There is that better lol thats Constructive criticism not a put down,Im done cause this is beyond stupid to argue over what genre of music we like better than the other.If I dont like it,I dont like it im one person not that big of a deal :) Im not going to respond >Continued<
@OhioJuggalette23 So I get your like one of those people who live on the computer and pick fights with people over stupid shit...Gotcha and you can take it how ever you want to I really dont give a shit :) She SUCKS in my OPINION at this song it should have been left alone!

@NekiiFTW Its just like I love Amy's voice but she did a cover on Heart Shaped Box by Nirvana I think she ruined it,The orginal was way better some songs people are ment to sing some are just ment to be left alone
I think both of the versions are fantastic! I just do this one so I can actually sing it without having to go into an octive. Can't match Amy with a boys voice. :P
I like Amy lees version better, sally is suppose to have a sweet soft voice and when Amy sings she has a more higher pitch tone to it, her voice is just too deep.
I love fiona's version. Amy's version is also good, the difference is that the two sing in different manners and about different things as well. this is more reflective of fiona's style and I like it. it's dark and sad, but subtle all the same. and it gives me the chills. <3
Fiona's voice just isn't delicate enough for this piece. I like her other songs, but this just doesn't blend well. I love Amy and Fiona, but I don't think of their voices suits this song. Catherine O'Hara just has the best compatibility. That's why she was picked.
it's like she's so sad that she sounds low on emotion. and I like it. it's not like lots of other songs where the person is sad but they have so much energy.
she sounds like she's sad and tired. (which is a good thing for this song)
and as for Amy Lee's cover....I like it. it's just as good as this one.
it's not the same style though. so why is everyone comparing the two? that would just be saying which style you like better :)
For goodness sakes, you all need to just shut it about whose version's better. You all are the people that know how to destroy music and suck the beauty out of it. FIONA - Has a Monotone voice yet she does an AWESOME job, AMY - Has alot of emotion to her voice and she does an AWESOME job also. They both ROCK. They have different voices and GENRE'S. NOBODY should sound the same, other than this new shizz they play on the raido which is pop, all sounds the same. ENJOY UNIQUE-NESS!!!
Fiona Apple's voice is dead. There is no EMOTION. it's completely empty of feeling. She's singing in a monotone the music is just creating the illusion that there is feeling. Amy Lee has the voice for this song I believe. She's supposed to be singing about love that she cannot have, but it's not really working.
I love both versions. But Fiona's take on the song you can feel the sadness behind the song. Amy's voice is angelic but it was like she was trying too hard with it. I love both singers but I just love this version slightly more then Amy's.
they are both good artists with different styles so its just a matter of preference, i like this version but i also like amy lee's so its up to you. XD
I can not believe that Amy's version is more famous. I just found this a few days ago and I'm furious I hadn't heard it before. I'm sorry but in my opinion Fiona is ten times better than Amy in general. Fiona's voice is just...........perfect for this song. I agree with uliekmudkipz, Amy's version brings nothing new to the table. It just sounds like every other song she's sung.
@ABTMommy I agree Fiona's version is WAY better. I actually love Amy Lee's voice (though Fiona's is, again, better IMHO) but all the whoa whoa's she tries to spice the song up with ruin it's melancholy feel. Fiona got it right. Sad, simple, haunting.
this chick sounds like adele in a way.... mybe its the raspyish voice they both share... i have 2say i like evanescnece version better.... they sing w/ more expression, and i dont think this is the best best voice 4this song.... but its still a verry verry good voice tho :)
To whom ever argues about which cover is better: Both Fiona and Amy Lee did a great job. You can tell they both put a lot of their own personality into their covers. Your musical tastes has nothing to do with the artists talent, they're both popular for a reason.
This version is defiantly not as good as Amy Lees version. Fiona hasn't sympathised with how Sally would of felt. Yes she has put a darker twist on it but it wasn't needed for this song. Amy really went for it, she empathised with Sally and listening to it you could really imagine Sally singing like that, emotions overflowing. She cries out but Fiona didnt. Also Amys version is more beautiful and makes you want to listen. This version was just boring .
@Hann1099 Amy's version sounds like every other song she has ever sung. That's not my main point though, my main point is that you have terrible taste in music. Have a nice day.
@Hann1099 I find this one infinitely more sad and haunting because you hear such defeat in her voice (and if you listen to fiona's other songs it's different to those). Amy's is pretty, yes, but so was the original one. I happen to like this one because it's different and beautiful still. :)
fiona's is beautiful. with amy's i feel like she's just trying to make it sound pretty. with fiona, she sounds sorrowful and defeated, and you get that feeling of night time and sally wondering the streets.
Fionna's voice isn't pretty enough, Sally had a sad And pretty voice throughout the movie, even this song. This lady lacks feeling as apposed to Amy who did it perfectly...also this version is song to fast..with dulls the effect
Amy Lee's version is much better. Fiona sings it like its just a song but Amy sang it like she felt it and these were really her emotions spilling out :)
I honestly would've liked this version better than Amy Lee's had the tempo been slightly slower and sultry..... I still like it though her voice fits it a little better I think than Amy's, in my opinion that is.
I like all versions of the song because every musician has something genuine to add to the music and if it can't be appreciated then why do we bother listening to ANY music if all we are going to do is judge and criticize it? Can't we just enjoy it? Why must you guys knit-pick at every little detail you don't like about it? It's pathetic. I love ALL versions =)
This version blows. Totally, 100% blows. And Amy Lee's version is better, but not by much. You wanna hear this the way Elfman wrote it, then for fucks sake, listen to the original version, starring Catherine O'Hara. Stupid sheeple............
Huh thts so strange ive never seen anyone who likes tht song .......... I guess i need to get out more rebeca black is a nice girl but i personally dont think she can sing ... Jst my opinion ... Oh welll i guess it doesnt matter tht much... My opinion tht is
Ew. This sounds so monotone. In my opinion Fiona is just singing it, not even. It sounds like shes just reading the lyrics and It sounds emotionless and boring. Amy Lee's version is better because she uses more tone to her voice and puts more emotion into it, and it doesn't sound monotone. Amy's voice has the airy and creepy/beautiful sound that fits perfectly for this song. Don't get me wrong, I like Fiona's music. But this song just wasn't that good of a choice for her to cover. Just sayin'.
@CookiesAreStellar I think you misunderstand the meaning of monotone. Also I don't feel that it's more emotion just a different emotion like what @Helzivsymph was saying. Sadness is not more of an emotion then anything else
it just seems a bit more passionately painful if that makes sense... i prefer this version because amy lee's version is more like a teenager complaining about her not getting a guy but this is more like the longing of an optimistic woman trying to be recognized
I love Fiona Apple's version the most because her voice is portraying the pain that Sally has for Jack. Amy Lee's version tells a story about how she can't find what she is looking for
The way she sings it is so beautiful. The to e matches the theme of the song completely. I can actually feel the sorrow that she feels.....that fact that she can never be with the one she loves......a perfect replica of the emotions!! Bravo!!!!
its good but she sounds like she was bored when she was singing i like it but i dont like how the musics almost totally different from the moves its good but i like amy lees version nd the original better
been a fan of nightmare before christmas since i was 7 =p (now 20) and i really do love this cover, who cares if it relates to the character or how it relates to the movie. Its a damn good cover imo.
Dont like it. Taking away that it doesn't fit the character any more in any way at all, and looking at it by itself, I find her voice very slurry and unappealing. She doesn't sound as classical as it appears she is trying to be, and the music doesnt either.
Great song ! I like Amy's version better though, because Fiona sounds a little unemotional and boring, and a little slurred especially the word "enthusiastic" . But this song is so great and addicting to listen to, I love it ! Still like Amy's better though. :]
I love both versions. Fiona's version I see a woman from the 30-40's era singing about her mobster boyfriend she just can't tame. Amy's I see a woman from a Dorian Gray/Frankenstein goth book singing about her love interest she can never have. Both version are beautiful in any case.
Fiona Apple's version is more dark but it is very strong and good. Amy Lee's version is more romantic and light. Both in essence fit with the film but are different styles. Fantastic versions though!
I don't see why people are saying one is better than the other, they're both good in there own way. Like, I really like this version, but the style of it wouldn't fit as well in the movie.
I do like Amy Lee's version better, but never in a million years would I disregard any song that Fiona sings. They're both WONDERFUL artists, that come from different universes. That's what I think, anyways: complete opposite sides of the musical spectrum.. yet their inspiration for music derives from two common factors: sadness and anger. For the people that don't like Fiona you clearly have never heard any of her original work. Her music-- sorry, her art, is beautiful. Both are.
I came to this video to hear the difference and OK I'm leaving and not coming back to this one it's sucks! This is like bland, boring and emotionless... Whereas the other inspires emotion blah good bye fiona!
amy's is very theatrically sorrowful, whereas fiona's is more subtle and headstrong. i personally prefer fiona's just because i think it's a more interesting approach and really portrays a 'sinking feeling', but this is such a beautiful song that they both sound wonderful.
To be perfectly honest, I listen to both versions (Sally's, and Amy Lee's), and I've always liked Amy's version better...But now that I heard this version, I think I like this one just a tad bit better <3 (: They are all amazing though <3 Nighmare is one of THE BEST movies ever! (:
Though I'm a fan of Fiona, I'm also a much bigger fan of Amy Lee. This version is beautiful, and I especially like the background music, but I'm gonna have to say I like Amy's just a little more. But I still love this one!
I honestly can't decide between this version or Amy Lee's. This makes it sound so dead and melancholy, as if she's really given up, but the way Amy Lee sings it makes it sound as if she's still in pain over it...
I have extremely mixed feelings on this version of the song.
On the one hand, I'm really not fond of Fiona Apple's vocals (No offense to her fans, I'm sure she normally does great stuff). She doesn't sound sad or lonely, she sounds bored!
On the other hand, I LOVE the background music, especially the strings and drums. They sound so lovely.
Wow this bitch is horrible she sounds like she's bored as fuck and didn't want to sing this AMY LEE sang this the best .... Omg this shit made me laugh

I can not believe that Amy's version is more famous. I just found this a few days ago and I'm furious I hadn't heard it before. I'm sorry but in my opinion Fiona is ten times better than Amy in general. Fiona's voice is just...........perfect for this song. I agree with uliekmudkipz, Amy's version brings nothing new to the table. It just sounds like every other song she's sung.

@ABTMommy I agree Fiona's version is WAY better. I actually love Amy Lee's voice (though Fiona's is, again, better IMHO) but all the whoa whoa's she tries to spice the song up with ruin it's melancholy feel. Fiona got it right. Sad, simple, haunting.

To whom ever argues about which cover is better: Both Fiona and Amy Lee did a great job. You can tell they both put a lot of their own personality into their covers. Your musical tastes has nothing to do with the artists talent, they're both popular for a reason.

This version is defiantly not as good as Amy Lees version. Fiona hasn't sympathised with how Sally would of felt. Yes she has put a darker twist on it but it wasn't needed for this song. Amy really went for it, she empathised with Sally and listening to it you could really imagine Sally singing like that, emotions overflowing. She cries out but Fiona didnt. Also Amys version is more beautiful and makes you want to listen. This version was just boring .

uliekmudkipz 5 months ago 4
@Hann1099 I find this one infinitely more sad and haunting because you hear such defeat in her voice (and if you listen to fiona's other songs it's different to those). Amy's is pretty, yes, but so was the original one. I happen to like this one because it's different and beautiful still. :)

I like all versions of the song because every musician has something genuine to add to the music and if it can't be appreciated then why do we bother listening to ANY music if all we are going to do is judge and criticize it? Can't we just enjoy it? Why must you guys knit-pick at every little detail you don't like about it? It's pathetic. I love ALL versions =)

Ew. This sounds so monotone. In my opinion Fiona is just singing it, not even. It sounds like shes just reading the lyrics and It sounds emotionless and boring. Amy Lee's version is better because she uses more tone to her voice and puts more emotion into it, and it doesn't sound monotone. Amy's voice has the airy and creepy/beautiful sound that fits perfectly for this song. Don't get me wrong, I like Fiona's music. But this song just wasn't that good of a choice for her to cover. Just sayin'.

Dont like it. Taking away that it doesn't fit the character any more in any way at all, and looking at it by itself, I find her voice very slurry and unappealing. She doesn't sound as classical as it appears she is trying to be, and the music doesnt either.

I love both versions. Fiona's version I see a woman from the 30-40's era singing about her mobster boyfriend she just can't tame. Amy's I see a woman from a Dorian Gray/Frankenstein goth book singing about her love interest she can never have. Both version are beautiful in any case.

I do like Amy Lee's version better, but never in a million years would I disregard any song that Fiona sings. They're both WONDERFUL artists, that come from different universes. That's what I think, anyways: complete opposite sides of the musical spectrum.. yet their inspiration for music derives from two common factors: sadness and anger. For the people that don't like Fiona you clearly have never heard any of her original work. Her music-- sorry, her art, is beautiful. Both are.

amy's is very theatrically sorrowful, whereas fiona's is more subtle and headstrong. i personally prefer fiona's just because i think it's a more interesting approach and really portrays a 'sinking feeling', but this is such a beautiful song that they both sound wonderful.

I honestly can't decide between this version or Amy Lee's. This makes it sound so dead and melancholy, as if she's really given up, but the way Amy Lee sings it makes it sound as if she's still in pain over it...
They're both amazing, full stop.

I have extremely mixed feelings on this version of the song.
On the one hand, I'm really not fond of Fiona Apple's vocals (No offense to her fans, I'm sure she normally does great stuff). She doesn't sound sad or lonely, she sounds bored!
On the other hand, I LOVE the background music, especially the strings and drums. They sound so lovely.
