I hate to say it, but Susan Boyle's Wild Horses is amazing.

Harry Styles' cover of "Wild Thoughts" - so sexy. And his cover of "Girl Crush."

Sorry, but I have to disagree on this one. Dolly's version was sweet. I found Whitney's to be over the top with bombast. But I typically like both of them a lot (even though I'm no country music fan)

It's fun thinking about all these songs and time periods!
