  • Wow, I love both versions! I think MrSeeker77 covered all I could have said. Powerful vocals, Tina has. MB's version sounds a bit lighter and perhaps more modern. I'd happily listen to either. No matter what, people are going to compare. They're both great vocalists with loads of talent, just super different. Why do people feel the need to hate on either?

  • I find it both amusing and aggravating that peeps are baggin' on either version. Preferences are one thing but c'mon people, both vocalists have major talent, there's no sense saying one is better than the other. Like all good music, whether you like it or not is academic.... in the end, it's the artists' own interpretations. As for those who outright put down either,  well, let's see your vid response. Let's see YOUR talent beyond the armchair and the keyboard!

  • I think the difference between Michelle Branch and Tina is the difference between a fine, smooth brandy (Michelle) and Bourbon (Tina). Tina has more power than any other female singer out there, but this song is more of a light and breezy jazz type of song, which, to me at least, fits better with Michelle's voice. I like Tina's version, but LOVE Michelle's.

  • I didn't know Tina sang the song first! Wow! Why did they go with Michelle's version to be released? I think the original would've won that Grammy too! smh

  • Wow, a much different key from Michelle Branch's version. Haven't listened to Tina Turner before, so MB's version is still my favourite.

  • she is my Godness !!!!! :-)

  • I thought that gregg alexander from the new radicals wrote the song and even has a video that he sings it on youtube

  • i wonder why they didn't launch both version to the market at the time and let people decide

  • tina's version sounds like an oldies style of game of love song.. hahahaha!!

  • Tina the best artist ever!!!!!!! Tina Simply the best!!!

  • Real Talk -__- The wordz of this song is real, it's wat life's about.... Loving it, Go Tinaaaaa work it!!!!!!!

  • Tina = The Queen of Rock!!!

  • Children behave, what is there not to like about either song? They both add a different flavor to the song, Michelle did great and Tina... well she is Mrs. TINA TURNER! =)

  • NOW I CAN FEEL THE SONG!

  • Too many people are over-analyzing this song. It's just a great song no matter who sings it.

  • Whoa. I never knew this! I will say, I do have a special little place in my ear for the Michelle Branch version. It's just one of those songs you can't not like, but Tina? Well... it's Tina.

  • Comparing Tina to Michelle is like comparing Michael Jackson to Justin Bieber.

  • I prefer this version rather then newbe michelle branch's single. Tina Turner knows how it put a spin on it rather then the boring version with Michelle Branch.

  • Both versions are great. It'd still be a hit either way.

  • loved this video. awesome. 5stars

  • This is better!I love it!!!

  • i love michelles version but i like this more

  • I don't know why some people can't appreciate music, they have to constantly say "what's good, what's bad." People that constantly complain are obviously insecure, nothin' better to do with their lives than put others down.

  • Actually this is the original. Michelle Branch was put on the song later. The song was made for Tina and that is why it sounds as such. Dopeness! Much respect Ms. Tina!

  • love the original But not sure about this!

  • Tina's version was first!

  • cant decide which version i like more.both are very good imo x_x

  • tina overpowers the whole song..and its a bad thing!

  • I agree. I like Michelle's. Michelle's is just a classic. I'm glad Michelle recorded it instead.

  • @cooolness3 ... Michelle who? That bitch who got a little fame and started badmouthing the likes of Mariah Carey? Carey just got crowned with ANOTHER song of the decade... 90's- 0ne sweet day 00's- We belong together Perhaps that Michelle is part of a Cruise ship entertainment now?

  • @papaciiito Really? What did Michelle Branch say about Mariah Carey?

  • I wish I had legs like her and I'm a dude

  • Prefer this version, Tina's voice gives more to the song than Michelle's

  • Wow!!! What a powerful voice. I'm really digging this version.

  • I love this version!

  • no disrespect to anyone, I just prefer the other version =3

  • i like this song x

  • TINA IS AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This is my favorite version of this song!!!!

  • WOW!!! Could you send me the audio of this or the link to download?

    Merci!

  • go to w w w . zamzar . c o m / url with a copy of the link to this vid and follow the directions

  • I used to hear this song a lot on the radio a year or two ago with that other singer, didn't like it at all and would change the station whenever it came on. With Tina Turner singing it, it's a totally different song and I listen to it here on YouTube all the time. I don't know why Carlos Santana didn't release it with Tina Turner doing the vocals to begin with.

  • because of the record companies, the find michelle more... commercial

  • because Tina didn't wont to do the video!!

  • "Queens come and go -- there's only one Tina Turner," Santana told The Associated Press. "I love Michelle, and she did a great interpretation of it. It's just that with all honor and respect to Michelle, there's the girl and there's the woman, and Michelle is unfolding into a woman. ... but it takes time to go from a girl to a woman."

    He says Tina's version is still his favorite.

    "No one can hit a note like Tina Turner," he says.

  • michelle's version is nice also but to be honest she sounds too immature.

    tina's version is nice- made me like the song for once.

  • what? this song was very nice when michelle branch sing it. but with the voice of tina turner sounds like a man screaming. i dont care if tina has a lot of grammys, i think that this song is not for her. she just ruinet

  • i can see that yuo dosen´t understand nothing about music

  • Tina was the original singer of this song ¡¡¡

    Queens come and go -- there's only one Tina Turner," Santana told The Associated Press. "I love Michelle, and she did a great interpretation of it. It's just that with all honor and respect to Michelle, there's the girl and there's the woman, and Michelle is unfolding into a woman. ... but it takes time to go from a girl to a woman."

    He says Tina's version is still his favorite.

    "No one can hit a note like Tina Turner," he said"

  • Tina sang the song first tho!

  • Who the fuck is Michelle Branch, beyond the girl who sang "The Game Of Love"?

  • nice pic :p

  • WAY WAY WAY WAY better than Michelle's verison. Tina is simply the best!

  • stop talking bad about tina!!!!shes the queen of rock........

  • Tina Turner mediocre.. My god ha ha ha she influenced a lot of artist like Janis Joplin and Mick Jagger... You think before talk???? hahahaha

  • Tina Turner makes this song sound so masculine...

    I'd go with Michelle Branch, Thanks

  • Tina make it sounds powerful, then Michelle!

  • mediocre? are you sure? you so fucking stupid to say something like that... she have a lot of grammys (8) all about best vocal performance. and then one stupid person call her mediocre...

  • It's good, but I like Michelle better its a little more feminime

    It is good though ^_^

  • I LOVE YOU ...TINA TURNER

  • Tina Turner does a great job on this song. she also sings Joni Mitchell's"Edith and the Kingpin" on Herbie Hancocks' "River, The Joni Letters" CD with Wayne Shorter playing behind her and REALLY delivers (heavy lyrics!). All three of them are Buddhist. I am too and I chant Nam Myoho Renge Kyo for them.

  • and they won grammy for best album and best jazz album

  • Tina Turner mediocre?! Some comments are laughable. She is recognised as one of the best vocalists of the last century. Catch her especially singing the blues or soul. There's a song of hers here titled son of a preacher man......listen to that and you'll hear what a singer she is.....

  • the only reason this version wasnt released was because label heads got in the way. i wish tinas version was released. her voice had the soul that this song needed.

  • Tina, no one compares to you. You are everything-rock and roll, soul,ultimate performer,sexy, and beautiful. You are loved the whole world over! These young performers of today will not last as long as you have. Forever TINA!!

  • Dont forget the icing on the cake,THE LEG'S!!that go on forever

  • here, here, and at 68 she still looks great

  • im sorry i meant to give you a thumbs up for a great comment and hit the wrong one,im so sorry

  • Tina Turner is immortal! She is forever hot!

  • Tina has a one - of a kind voice!

  • wonderfull song, great mature voice.

    What do I have to say : SHE IS SIMPLY THE BEST !!!!

  • Sem essa de comparações! Tina Turner é simplesmente THE BEST. Ela é Midas. O que toca vira ouro. E eterna como CALLAS e nunca haverá outra igual. Now GAME OF LOVE on my mind forever. Congratulations Santana for the invitation!

  • dude tina's voice kicks total ass

    im a big fan of michelle branch but tina's is just whoa

  • Tina has one powerful voice!!!!!

  • Tina's voice is beautiful. This is one of the best songs I've ever heard ;)

  • Love this song!! That voice is unmatchable and works so well with the guitar instrumental.

  • Tina has one powerful,strong -- one of a kind voice.

    Anyone can sound like that girl Michelle.

  • yeah, but some ppl like more michelle's version because they've listened michelle's first..it took me some time to get in use with tina's vers....ofcourse it's way better

  • Amazing! Tinas's voice is so sexy...

  • its unfortunate this wasn't released first in 2002, michelles version is weak by comparison... tina is unbreakable

  • tina's voice might be stronger, but its just plain diva stuff. i prefer michelle's version any time, any day. tina's version does not give me the 'feel good' feeling like michelle's. and for those who's just gonna put a -1 on my comment, i guess u guys are just thinking that stronger = more soulful. =/

  • tina is not just a diva, tina is a rock singer

  • Tina has a classic voice!!!!!!

    its strong,powerful ..

  • tina is great!

  • Tina´s voice is, of course, much better and richer than Michelle´s- but both give just a different flavour to this song.

  • Tina has her stamp on this song!!! Tina's voice cannot be replaced by any new generation!

  • There are superstars and then there is Tina Turner.

  • michelle want to die

  • Tina better than michelle no hay duda!! More style

  • class, t.t.

  • TINA'S VERSION ROCKS!

  • OMG I would love for them to do a video for this.

  • great great great great and great

  • Amazing.. Speechless...

  • The Santana/Michelle Branch version is better.

  • Are you mad?? The Michelle Branch-version is a weak light-version compared to this soulful performance!!!

  • michelle's is more commercial that's why the record company prefered her. It's always been my fav santana song...I screamed "hurrrrraaaayyy!" when I read the news that actually it's tina's song and he likes more her version

  • que buena version pero michelle branch tambien tiene buena voz saludos desde venezuela gracias por el video

  • Tina Turner is the queen of Rock and she´s incomparable!

    I love this version!

    Can´t stop listening to it.

    Who´s Michelle Branch?

  • it doesen't matter...michelle is a common girl =))

  • T think it sound good but it's too bad that both of them are getting old unfortunately.

  • so what all the great singer are gettin old Aretha,Patti,Gladys etc. but there still going strong they have something todays stars hav'nt got (fab,soul voices).

    Whats age got to do with it!!!!!!

  • i just loved!!! tina did in chest voice the note michelle sung with flaseto. i love it.

  • Tina is the best, don´t you think?? she did a better verson, and where was a falseto she did with chest voice. she is the queen of rock and pop

  • Tina is the best singer in the world

    She always makes me feel happy!!!

    This version rocks ..

  • TINA ONE OF A KIND!!!!

  • Two different voices! Tina,s more for grown ups.Carlos guitar is way better,cleaner sounding.Great stuff!!!!!!

  • i prefer MICHELLE BRANCH's version..!!!...

  • TINA!!!! Oh my God, I love you SO!!!!

  • Michelle´s got a quite good voice but a bit to thin in my opinion...and no voice comes close to Tina Turner´s*

    This is the ultimate "The game of love"-version...it should have been released first!

  • michelle is the best ¬¬ xD

  • Her version was good, yes, but this one is MUCH better I think.

    It sounds better and it is sung better in this version.

    Besides, Tina is amazing! Michelle can't touch Tina!!!

  • I love tina s version! I ve been waiting so long to hear it! and...hey! how did u become a member of her ittfc? pls, answer!

  • AWESOME!!! I have been waiting soooo long for thisw to finally hit.... Tina, like always is perfect!
