  • refer to my comment of 6 days ago On one version of Shirley's she commented that Tom Jones stole this song from her and that she was stealing it back.Jordin sang this song in the style of Dame Shirley who's version is the best but Jordin version is a close second.

  • It's like I BELIEVE what she's saying/singing with all that emotion.

  • hrm i am a lonely girl from the uk

  • BORRRIINNG! Sure. It's cute and stuff how her version is sad and what not. But DAMMNN!! Haley killed her version goin full-F**KING-psycho! I LUV U HALEY!

  • i cant see how you can compare haley and jrdin.. there 2 completely different artists..

  • Outside of the original Shirley Bassey this is the best recording of this song.Who ever thinks Haley does a better job need to get their ears checked.The night that Jordin sang this song Simon commented that he thought Jordin should have something more modern.He was wrong.

  • @MrLucman2 Jordin performed way better than Growley Reinhardt. Sparks' voice is way prettier in tone and sound.

  • The stage production of Haley's performance was much better. Both vocals are AWESOME!

  • Nice song ^_^

  • Everytime I hear it, it gets better.

  • Absolutely beautiful.

  • LOVE THIS SONG

  • and what has this winner done since then ? NOTHING !!!!!

  • Haley's version is multiple divisions above this.....

  • yes, jordin version better than haley. she put her emotion with correctly and nice. love her!!

  • @abhiem she has no emotion in her singing or on her face compared to haley

  • it's kinda boring compared to Haley's..

  • While I loved Jordin Sparks first, I love Haley more. You can argue that Haley screams when she sings, but tell me Jordin doesn't do the same and I'll call you a goddamn liar. Just how they feel when they sing.

  • Search the Kelsey-Maree acapella cover. very good! more similar to haley's version.

  • you all are wrong luther vandross version was the best hands down

  • shes good, but sr haley is better

  • Fantastic, the best version by a mile.

  • Haley Reinhart's version is a thousand times better than Jordans!!!

  • @uglan99klara BZZZZ That was the wrong answer! However, please feel to try again and see if you can win one of our wonderful prizes, brought to you by those who are NOT hard of hearing!

  • @uglan99klara Oh, honey, please.

  • yeah thats right

  • In my opinion that jordin sing the song very well , while haley was screaming the whole time

  • @MsSpecialMe totally agree with u! they keep saying something ridiculous about high notes and playing safe. i mean excuse me this girl sang it emotionally! she gave me tears!

  • @cindyrose5w can't agree more ;) I felt every word she sang

    she is so talented

  • jordin where are you? I still love your music and as yourself...

  • I get goosebumps when I hear Jordins version, with Haley I don't.

  • i just watched the haley version of this song and i must say it looks like haley gave her all on this song while jordin held back and u could still tell that jordin was 10x better..just imagine if jordin went full out no chances on this song like haley, there's no comparison especially since they have completely different voice types, there both amazing singers but i feel like jordin can keep a steady tone while haley has that squeakyness to her voice if she gets too high. my vote on this one ;x

  • @123courage

    If you "just watched the Haley version" you didn't see Haley get ripped once again compared to the other contestants and having Randy repeat his criticism in a shout over the praise of Steven. Only then to suffer the additional indignity of having them call the four contestants out to have Randy declare the first round a tie for first among the other three contestants minutes before Haley was to perform this song. After weeks of biased judging, she delivered once again.

  • Haley >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>­>>> Jordin.

  • wow

  • haley is working on her album. and its gonna be amazing.

  • Comment removed

  • You are right she did kill it, what a brilliant version, i have heard Shirley Bassey Tom Jones and Haley but Jordin Sparks is by far the best,.

  • All of these Jordin HATERS and Haley LOVERS tell me something? Where is Haley now???? Where is her number one Single or CD? Or has she EVEN come out with a Single? Jordin is the ONLY AI that has 4 Top 20 hits in a row. We are still waiting for Haley to have one.

  • @NicoleSydn Britney has got even more hits and she can barely sing. It doesnt matter. Jordin is great and she did well on that song but Haley's version is like miliion times better sung and that's just the truth, sorry, the diffrence too big. Haley just finished idol tour, you must wait until she releases an album.

  • @NicoleSydn How long ago was Jordan on the show?? almost 5 years ago?!?! and how long ago was Haley on the show?? less than a year ago?!?! thats what i thought!!

  • @NicoleSydn lmao

  • @NicoleSydn

    "Where is Haley now???? Where is her number one Single or CD?... We are still waiting for Haley to have one."

    .

    At the time you made your comment. Haley had a holiday duet with Casey Abrams that reached the Top 5 on iTunes. As for her single, she announced the other day it would be released March 1st. Not that it was unexpected considering she was signed to Interscope. But thanks for asking.

  • @NicoleSydn Dumbass. She's coming out with a record this year but she's taking her time to make sure it's perfect. And I know it will be :)

  • They are both great- Haley and Jordin Sparks...Yes, I agree that the vibrato is a bit much though.

  • They are both great- Haley and Jordin Sparks...

  • FAIL, disgusting vibrato. It's like Kelly Clarkson's in the sense that she doesn't control it. It just happens. Tom Jones owns this song since he destroyed his friend Shirley Bassey. Listen to his album version. American Idol has never and will never have a voice that can compare.

  • hihi sensual and artistic!

  • no the best version is tom jones

  • cute girl!

  • Weird hearing a woman sing this song. But Jordin kills it.

  • That screaming that Haley does is the soul that Jordin sparks lacks. no sparks. no fire. just boring...like a tattoo on a battlefield. she's garbage. the only comaprisons are that they did the same song on Idol. HAley Reinhart is indeed in a league of her own. jordin's ten minutes are up.

  • HALEY'S VERSION IS WAY BETTER....JORDIN NEEDED TO SING THIS SONG WITH POWER IN HER VOICE, THERE WASN'T ANYTHING CAPTIVATING ABOUT IT. HALEY ACED IT.

  • I think Haley sang it better.

  • Sorry, Jordin's version was much better than Haley's. Haley screamed too much in the song!!

  • @MsDominic20 are you kidding? do you even know what screaming is?

  • @dblubarry Yes I do, Haley screamed in that song. Haley had some good performance's, I wasn't a Haley Reinhart fan.

  • @MsDominic20 well i hate to burst your arrogant bubble but she clearly wasn't screaming, so stop making a fool of yourself.

  • @MsDominic20 Haley doesnt scream! she just has that growl in her voice. Not many people have that kind of a voice

  • better than Haley!

  • jordin sparks is garbage. who is she? where is she now? whats has she done? blahhh.

  • @tybell50 she has busted 2 albums with 4 chart topping hits. she has appeared on Broadway in the hit show In The Heights where she was praised for her vocal ability and is currently working on a 3rd album

  • @TheMysyfyer her second album didnt even sell 200,000 copis...flop. not one of her songs has topped the charts...not one. top is #1. she doesnt have a #1 single.she's ok but dont compare haley to her...we dont want haley to flop. jordin sparks still flopping. the single she put out this year...trash...new album...pushed back. her voice....good yeah. not enuff though. she won idol when it didnt matter. truthfully. she's bubblegum pop. boring.

  • I love Haley but Jordin nailed this better :)

  • haley put in a lot of riffs and growls which made it cool. i think jordin's is darker and cool in a more sad, quiet way

  • ehm Tell me your fantasies and let's make them a reality

  • way better than haley.

  • Haley was more theatrical and dramatic with hers which is why i enjoyed it more. But they were both really great:)

  • Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain's version even better!

  • wow

  • so somethin u never forget lemme show you how far i can go

  • Haley's version was the first I'd heard and I thought it'd be the best ever. But Jordin's gave me chills from the beginning. What a surprise!

  • fantsia has a hot video out call "im doin me" its hot you can check it out here on youtube just type in fantasia im doin me its super

  • Jordans version is the best I ever heard, so much feeling!!!

  • Hailey Rienhardt's is far better

    

  • @brendatheavenger In your tone deaf ears.

  • Victor Trent Cook sings the hell out of this song.

  • personally, i think jordan singd it way better than haley. Jordan has a very long range and can rock this song!

  • Jordin Sparks age 16 American Idol season 6 winner "I Who Have Nothing" & Rachel Crow age 14 X-Factor USA 2011/season 1 "If I Were A Boy"

    P.s. Others by Jordin are: "Broken Wing" & If We Hold On Together"

  • jordin strugled with the notes alot....but great she is special...raaly great singer......but haley is just way better

  • wow.bring tears to my eyes.first time i watch this.i will watch it again,and again,and again.

  • jordan has better control over her vocals than haley does, so technically jordin is better, but haley's did sound better. but ohh well i love both versionsjordan hits higher notes tho

  • @BlakeMaplesMusic not at alll....i totally dis agree....haley hit much more and higher notes than sparks...just sparks keeps them for long.....haley did much more to the song than jordan did :)

  • @jasonsinanan if you can proove to me that her notes were higher then ill believe you, but jordans was in a higher key, plus jordan did in fact hit a G5 in her second performance of the song, the highest haley went was E5 i believe, so proove it lol

  • @BlakeMaplesMusic okay you right that last not with window pain was extrodinary..i agree...but on the whole haley did much more thingd to the song......she made the song her own.....dramatization , growls, rifts and runs....and the list goes on....

  • @jasonsinanan Yep, I think haley's sounded better, but from a technical standpoint jordan's was better.. she hit the notes right and was dead on pitch... plus jordan's range is higher than haley's so its kinda difficult to judge them both together.

  • @BlakeMaplesMusic yea true :)

  • @BlakeMaplesMusic the g5 not was in the other performance...in this performance it was alot lower....well i got a vide...and haleys highest was g6...so you can check it out....but reguardless...i love them both...they are awesome in their own way...just that i think haley is better...here is the link pal

  • clearly shirley sings it better..

  • Comment removed

  • I thought Jordin did this song such justice. Hayley's performance wasn't nearly as good to me. 

  • @SpeedRappinChika Agrees. I just listened to the haley version and i think jordan was much better

  • cool I am new here and i can be shy and nasty too

  • wow that gave me chills she is a helluva singer.

  • haley sang it higher than jordin.. jordin played safe here coz we all know she can hit notes higher than haley but haley is such a risk-taker.. that's their difference

  • what... Jordin sang it first, they have different styles.

    i love hayley to death, stop bringing jordin down :(

  • Haley smashed it. I had chills - i believed her. I cant believe this is the same song as jordin sings it so emotionlessly - i dont feel it

  • Jordin didn't bring anything new to this song. Haley did and then some! Haley > Jordin. Jordin is nothing to scoff at though.

  • This is coming from a completely unbiased Mariah Carey fan. Haley did it much better. Some singers just are better than others.

  • Haley's version pales in comparison to this. This is JORDIN'S song on the show.

  • Jordin>>>>>>>>Haley

  • The different styles with which Jordan and Haley sang it makes comparison almost impossible. I love both singers, and they both did a fantastic job with this song.

  • Tom Jones RULES. 

  • haleys is better but jodan gave me lil goose bumps too! :D <3

  • Haley sang it like a cruise ship singer, Jordin sang it like a world class diva. Haley wanted us to "like" her, Jordin sings because she has to sing. No comparison.

  • Jordin did an amazing job.♥

  • Bravooooooooo I am in love again...

  • I am a big fan of Haley and did like her version better. That being said, I think Jordan is excellent as well.

  • I personally like Haley's better cuz its more dramatic but they both did wonderful jobs i mean why else would we be arguing about. But why was jordans longer? And why did they change the Facebook Chat.... pissin me off -___-

  • THAT WAS FLAWLESS! I CANT BELIEVE THAT HER VOICE IS SO PERFECT! STILL LOVE HALEYS VERSION THOUGH!

  • Much stronger and more pure than Haley. A more natural singer than the promoted and decorated other. :)

  • @kuklukklak You are entitled to your opinion as do others like a music expert: "I guess it's a matter of personal taste then, because I just find Jordin's voice to be so utterly basic and unremarkable. =/ She may have the vocal TECHNIQUE of a diva, but she will never have the VOICE of a diva; she sounds like a little girl to me. I'll take Kelly at her absolute throatiest over Jordin. -shrug-" mellynumerounoo - just saying : )

  • I don't understand why everybody is saying whos is better then whos. Both Jordin and Haley are AMAZING singers. And bother versions sound good. Why not just listen to the song to enjoy it.

  • Comment removed

  • I who have nothing- JEDI MIND TRICKS

  • Hayley's was more powerful. You got chills from her conveying that emotion. But hey, Jordin's was good as well.

  • Haley's had heart in it, it really felt like someone tore out her heart stomped on it and gave it back. Jordan sounds like she's just singing a song.

  • haley did soo much better!!!!!!!!!1

  • That's ludicrous! I was on the defending end of everything. I'm just a lot smarter than you guys and can be a lot more ruthless in defending myself. LOL LOL LOL

  • @Branigan4ever You are so full of yourself : ) You are more foul-mouth and conceited. As I have said, taste is a very individual thing, it's not a science and there's no right or wrong. But, even art can be appreciated and loved and valued by many. However, it takes experts to recognize real talent and authencity. BTW, a million "LOL" do not strengthen nor validify your statements : )

  • Haley 10x as better

    But, don't get me wrong jordan's was reat too! (:

  • @Sillydilly121 Haley who ?

  • This sounds pageanty in comparison to Haley's performance.

  • How can you compare them when they are like COMPLETLY different vocaly. They both have beautiful voices that can't be compared(:

  • There are 2 ways to sing this song...with anger or sadness....i think sadness is more for this case like Jordan did...cause within love you get more sad than angry so i think Jordan took on this song with a better approach

  • Jordin owns this song

  • @conrad641 What happened to Shirley Bassey and Tom Jones? Oh, Jordin bought the exclusive rights to this song? : )

  • HALEY

  • the only reason she did not achieve greatness is cause bad management.

  • @missionboi3116 ...Who says she didn't?! Jordin Sparks is the ONLY Idol to have her first five singles land in Billboard's Top 20 AND she's only 21!

  • @Branigan4ever that was in her first year. then nothing. she should still be relevent

  • @missionboi3116 ....Check your facts! Sparks' SECOND album Battlefield was released in July 2009 worldwide and debuted at #7 in the U.S., three spots higher than her first album. The album's lead single, also titled "Battlefield", peaked in the top 10 on the Billboard Hot 100, making it her third top 10 single and fifth consecutive top 20 single. "Battlefield" has sold almost 2 million copies worldwide.

  • @missionboi3116 ..........Battlefield's second single, "S.O.S. (Let the Music Play)", was her first song to top the U.S. Billboard Hot Dance Club Play making it her first U.S. number one single.[4] Sparks followed her success in 2010 by making her debut on Broadway. Sparks starred as Nina Rosario in the Tony Award winning broadway musical, In The Heights. And she is getting ready to release her THIRD ALBUM AT THE AGE OF 21.

  • Ok between Hayley and Jordin. I think they both did awesome!

    Both really powerful. But I think Jordin sang it with more emotion.

    But they both sang it differently. So I think they equally did awesome~ XD

  • the reason everyone is battling on who sang it better is clearly within the vocals. Jordin has a much more pure and crisp voice while haley has a raw and real voice. Jordin has the capacity to riff and run and hold notes with her voice while haley can bring the power and the message behind it. its hard to say who did better.

  • @TheMysyfyer

    WELL SAID, MY FRIEND, WELL SAID, NO CONDEMNATION OF TWO AWESOME VOCALISTS. I LIKE YOUR CHARACTER. I LIKED YOUR COMMENT VERY MUCH.

    SNOOK

  • HALEY ROCKS. SHE SHOULD HAVE WON, NOT FUCKING SCOTTY.

    Anyways, WE ALL ALSO LOVE JORDIN. SHE DID GREAT IN THIS TOO.

  • imm srry but i think jordin sang it better than haley jordins is more powerful and gives u the chills when she hits those high notes!!!!

  • Haleyy was way better ! & the people that say no aree lieing to themselevs(x

  • @narooshik You're clearly deaf! LOL YOU are one that is deceiving yourself.

  • Comment removed

  • OMG, shes awesome!

  • no no no....Jordin rocked this. Immensely

  • Aw, this is when Star World actually used to get Idol via satellite. Miss those days.

    Actually, Jordin's version is technically superior but Haley's phrasing and arrangement accommodated more drama and therefore, came off as a more powerful rendition.

  • wow. jordin did great. haley rienhart did amazing to. two different versions of one great song. god job girls!! thumbs up if agree(:

  • Haley Reinhart sung this WAY better! Haley should have one not freakinn Scotty MccQUIREy Haha.
