Best Answer - Chosen by Voters

Well, I grew up with Janis Joplin and I had no idea Faith Hill even did a cover of this song but without even trying to find it and listen to it. I can not imagine anyone putting the emotion and raw, soulful, from the gut power into that song any better than Janis. Melissa Ethridge tried; no cigar...lol. I don't want to be closed minded to the possibility so I will try find it and then make a decision. I doubt it is going to change...I have Janis in my head right now...lol...that is going to make it a little tough for Faith. (jk)

Well, I listened and my opinion did not change a single bit!

Answer 2

Janis.... hands down!!! Why would you even ask that?

Answer 3

I have not heard the Faith Hill version and even if I don't ever hear it I'm sure Janis Joplin's version is much, much better.

Answer 4

I like faith hills version better...

Answer 5

Without a doubt Janis!!!

Answer 6

Janis Joplin.

Answer 7

Faith Hill definately

Answer 8

as much as i like faith, I have to say that i prefer Janis' version. did u know she(faith) had never heard Janis' verision or so she said

Answer 9

Janis- All the way!!!!!

Answer 10

Faith Hill =D

Answer 11

Why not a remix with BOTH of them on the same track? Not that hard, trust me on this one.

Answer 12

Faith Hill, unless you want to listen to a GUY singing the song. Yeah Joplin fans may get mad at me but honestly when I heard her version on the radio I was asking my friend who the guy was, sorry but she sounds like a guy when she sings it.

Answer 13

I like Faiths

Answer 14

JANIS HANDS DOWN!!! FAITH'S IS TOO "OOPS I BROKE A NAIL".."WA-WA I WANT MY MOMMY"!

Answer 15

My Lord, Janis Joplin! Please! I've heard about half of Faith Hill's version at a time, either the first half because I turned it off halfway through or the last half because I walked into a room as it was playing and it's rude to turn off other people's radios and TVs.

Answer 16

Although I am a country fan I have to say Janis. Its like you can feel the pain in her voice when see sang that song. Faith's version just doesn't have as much passion in it as Janis' did.

Answer 17

Janis for sure... Faith Hill cannot do it justice

Answer 18

Janis Joplin,definitely!!!!!

Answer 19

Janis Joplin hands down. Faith Hill is overrated in my honest opinion. yes she's beautiful. yes she can sing, but she inst doing anything that hasnt already been done (the judds, shania,) or wont be done again (carrie underwood, american idol drones)

Answer 20

Faith Hill

Answer 21

Janis Joplin, definitely!

Answer 22

I like Janis Joplin on this one but I was really impressed by the Faith Hill version. When Faith recorded Piece of my Heart she had never even heard the previous version by Janis Joplin. I like both pretty much. Janis Joplin had amazing talent though.

Answer 23

You are kidding.. Faith needs to stick to country. Janis all the way.

Answer 24

Janis was tops on this one.

Answer 25

i think faith Hill's version is amazing-espacially live!!

Answer 26

Faith Hill's...of course its the first version i heard and i have come to believe that the first version a person hears is usually the one they like...but honestly i felt like Janis Joplin screamed the song and did not do it justice....

Answer 27

I have to say Faith Hill's version. I didn't know anyone else ever sang that song.

Answer 28

i never knew janis sang it, untiil last year, i think faiths is awesome-espacially live
