I like the version by Mary & Bono very much, becuase Mary's voice gives the song a new special touch. However, it is a fact that this song is just one of the best songs ever, no matter in which version. The song is excellent.

Too much shouting in new version... you can't relax listening the beautiful melody behind like the original...

I don't know what to say... First version was sooo good, but with voice of Mary J. it's perfect. So, I'll vote for new version. Greets from Serbia 4 you all!

It's a good re-take, but it jazzed up what is, after all, an achingly beautiful song, so the new version has kind of betrayed the original's true meaning, I feel. And I agree with Patrick, the Johnny Cash version is excellent, more true to the character of the song.

The version Warren Haynes did is better than both!!!

man, i hate all those "soulfull" singers who replace 1 note with about every note in that key

I can't believe this is the comparison! How about R.E.M.'s impressive cover? Or Johnny Cash? His cover on American III is lights out. Hell, between the 4 American albums he put out before his death, he's got the best cover, if not the best version (Personal Jesus) of at least a dozen songs. Mary J Blige is a descent singer, but if the original band is involved, HOW IS IT A COVER?

Mary j blidge has a good voice... but she still shouldn't be allowed to sing...
