Across The Universe
A great version of a great song. I love them both equally, even though I know you're never supposed to vote against The Beatles. I also like Rufus Wainwright's version on the I Am Sam soundtrack.

Comments about Across The Universe:
You just can't touch one of the most subtle and hypnotic and delicately balanced songs of all time, the Beatles version... Even Fiona, as good and subtle and astonishing as she is. But I hold that this whole model of cover VERSUS original is flawed, presupposing an antagonistic relationship. As Fiona shows (and many who sing covers have shown) more often it is a matter of homage, respect, and creative interaction/feedback. And just digging the original so much you want to do it yourself. Fiona is fantastic; but this song belongs to JPG&R.

She has done a great job. The atmosphere is the same, she has the same drawl in her voive as if drug induced, (lol), but my vite goes for the original.

You people are kidding. Fiona Apple could NEVER measure up to The Beatles.

I think fiona sings it beautifully the words flow just like it says in the song.

despite popular opinion to the contrary (especially amongst db fans), imho, david bowie's rendition is the best. no vote.

If the Let it Be "naked" version were the one being compared I would definately have to go with the Beatles. However, Paul's having Phil Spector come in without George or John's blessing was one of the biggest points that broke up the band and deservedly so...The overproduction takes away the visceral appeal of the songs "Across the Universe" not withstanding.

Fiona's voice (IMHO) makes her version the superior one.
