Comments about Wicked Game:
Although I think HIM are a pretty dodgy band they did a really good job here (talking about the Greatest Lovesongs version). I can't make up my mind, there's more feeling to the Chris Isaac version, there's more power to the HIM version. You gotta be able to write a song like that in the first place, but it also takes just as much to cover it like that.

Michael from Vancouver says: "HIM version is much more powerful!!"
Tell us something we don't already know! HIM is talented, and he did a decent job here, but anybody can crank their amps. It takes a very tight band (The Silvertones) to get the sensitive interplay right -- smooth and full of feeling. Put Chris Isaak's unmistakable voice on top of it, and I don't think any cover band has a chance at it.
Chris Isaak for the win 5 days of the week. HIM on weekend evenings when the kids are having a party.

I like HIM's version of Wicked Game from Greatest Lovesongs than from Razorblade Romance (yes, there IS a difference!). To me, the version from Greatest Lovesongs is heavier.

I love this song in all of it's incarnations, but I prefer the HIM version over the original. It's so much more passionate. I like ya, chris. I'm just not into the whole pop/folk/country thing...

I like both, but I guess I'm more fond of HIM's version. It really is just a matter of taste.

Both are good songs and in the end it's just a matter of personal taste... and since I like it 'harder' (lol) I'll vote for HIM.

What the hell? Isaak is losing? ARE YOU PEOPLE ON DRUGS OR WHAT?!

Both are great... but I think the HIM version lost the sensual meaning of the song..

I think Chris has a powerful voice, but
as I can hear Ville's voice is a bit improved..
I'm a heavy metal fan, but I'm indeed open
minded. I think that guitars and drums really
improved the point of the song.
