4. Just can't choose

Sarah's is so beautiful and Joni's is the voice of the storyteller and poet.

Don't get me wrong I love Joni's original, and Sarah's, but Downey's gritty, emotional cover just hits me the right way.

13. Joni...

Sarah has a really nice voice but she doesn't bring anything to the song (imho). It's just a Joni xerox.
