+2, but I'm biased because I really can't stand U2.

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!

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

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

Stay with Me - oh right, that was just a straight-up ripoff of "Won't Back Down". RIP Tom Petty.
