Cover vs. Original

Livin' on a Prayer/Prayer '94


I really prefer the cover version. It has so much soul, a great guitar solo, and more of Richie Sambora's awesome voice.

Comments about Livin' on a Prayer/Prayer '94:

Try It's My Life version on this left feels right it is a completely different song from the original and is just so good.

No comparison IMO. The original can't be touched. I doubt I'll see in my lifetime a single instance where a Bon Jovi single can be covered better than the original, even by themselves!

I absolutely love the '94 remake for Crossroads, but I don't think they can be 'compared' like this, because one is a shouting anthem (the original) and the other is more of a soulful accoustic version. I'd have to say that i like them both the same.
