The Power of Love
Say what you want about Celine Dion, she's got a thrilling voice on that (pre-Titanic) track. However, originally written and performed by Jennifer Rush in the mid 80s, I still go with that one. A classic track which went to No. 1 in both versions: Jennifer Rush hit the No. 1 in Europe, while Celine Dion went to No. 1 in the states.

Comments about The Power of Love:
Jennifer Rush sings is really well. But in my opinion the color, the flavour, the essence of Céline's voice are better. That's why I voted for Céline.

Celine's version of course! it's much better and no comment for me!!!!!!

When Jennifer Rush sings this, it sends shivers down my spine, Celine's version is rather boring and emotionless in comparison.

Neither Celine Dion or Laura Brannigan is anywhere near Jennifers original. Of the three, Celines is the worst.

Jennifer Rush of course, she has that type of voice that all other female artists can only dream of. Now still, after 22 years, I can't get enough of her original version.

There is a sweetness and depth in Jennifer's version that even the brilliance and range of Celine cannot overcome. I did not know the "original" even existed until I heard it on short wave BBC in 1997 and immediately know which one was absolutely the top. Jennifer, and there is no doubt.

Neither work for me, not after first hearing Laura Branigan's version. Neither Rush nor Dion infuse the song with the soul and balls-out gusto that Branigan put into her cover. Y'all should check it out.

I do not like cover songs, so better or not is not the question. When you can't make a song of your own than stop singing. So Jennifer is for me the TOP.25 years ago The Power Of Love was a top hit for me, and it still is.
