Faith vs. Janice

Faith Hill vs. Janice Joplin in the battle of which version of "Piece of my Heart" is kind of a tough one. There'a a lot of elements that go into making that decision. First, you'll need to listen to both versions:
Faith Hill:

 

 

 

Janice Joplin:

 

So, here's a list of the pro's and cons:

Faith Hill
Pros
1. Happy music=happy listener
2. More popular for the time
3. She sings much better

Cons
1. No passion in her voice
2. Feels like she doesn't have an emotional connection with the lyrics

Janice Joplin
Pros
1. Strength in her voice
2. Powerful singing
3. Emotional connection with lyrics

Cons
1. Voice doesn't sound good
2. Makes you feel mad- based on the emotion she puts into the song

So, all in all, in my opinion, I think that Faith Hill's version is better. Although it is very debateable, here is my reasoning: Faith's singing is so much better, her voice sounds cleaner and smoother, it has a happier tone than Janice Joplin's version. Even though some people may like Janice's version because of the reasons that I don't like, I still think Faith Hill is better!
