Prefer this to the original

Epic Lol for stereotypical horror scream face @ 2:34

@mtb70 For Libre it were his personal feelings he put on paper and later sang out loud. These singers are just performing it. They do it very nicely, but I'm not feeling it. And neither are they.

The original video clip empowers the lines also. While here, they just show them singing this song like it's any other song. Sure, we see Rosa Parks, but it still fails to make clear the concrete horror.

@kenjuma An even better example, though I'm sure there are many, than "I Will Always Love You" might be "Halleluhia," written and originally performed by Leonard Cohen, but made even better by Jeff Buckley.

I'm guessing we'll have to agree to disagree on this one particular point.

@kenjuma I still fail to see why or how who wrote the song is a factor in determining which version is better. The point I was trying to make earlier was that some of our greatest songwriters don't even sing (professionally). If a recording was found by one of these non-singing songwriters, should we give the nod to the original over one done by a "singer" merely because he/she wrote the song?

By the way, I think both songs are good. I just prefer this one.

@mtb70 Who wrote it matters because Libre wrote this from his own heart.

And 'I will always love you' isn't nearly as heavy as this.

About the Barrett-Jackson auction that's different. First, I was talking about street-custumized cars.

@kenjuma You lost me with this comment. Personally, I don't understand why it matters who wrote the song. As it so happens, some of our greatest songs were recorded by artists who didn't write them. For that matter , as nice as Dolly Parton's "I Will Always Love You" was nice, but Whitney Houston made it so much better. Even Dolly admitted as much.

As far as cars go, YES, some cars are made better than when they left the production line. Have you ever watched the Barrett-Jackson auction?
