Feeling Good


The Nina Simone version is awesome, but Muse overtops it - not only because of Matt's incredible way of singing but also by the perfect exertion of musical contrasts.

The Michael Bubblee version is a crap compared to the aboves!

It pains me to say this but .. I prefer the Muse version.
The reason it pains me is because Nina Simone deserves so much credit for her music and giving this song to the world but... the muse version JUST pips this.

Nina is a legend and her voice is one of the best and most recognisable ever heard - Muse version was really good too and I agree his voice is awesome, but all we have here is a classic being done very well. A classic, meaning Nina wins.

The Nina Simone version is also a cover, since the song was written by Anthony Newley and Leslie Bricusse for a 60's musical, according to Wikipedia. But her version is the gold standard.

My wife and I danced to the Muse version at our wedding. It's think it's more powerful the way they play it, and agree that the singer for Muse has an amazing voice.

this is one of the signature songs of Nina Simone... and, how a rock band could do a better version that the recorded by the High priest of soul??? It just can't be

Dr. Simone all the way.

I absolutly prefer Muse version..because I don't like Nina's voice...no offense to anyone but I think Matt's voice's more interesting and powerful in a big part of his range...anyway congratulation Nina 'cause it's a great song!
