Who sang it better: I Walk the Line. Johnny Cash vs Halsey?

[smahala1991]

Hands down not even close for me Its the Cash version, but just my opinion

Johnny Cash

Halsey

Both are good

neither

[SleepingSnorlax]

Even with the bad qulity video you got of johnny he still sings it way better
I dont usally say this i actually love when artists cover songs (just check out my youtube history lol) but i think this halsey cover is really bad : /
Check out russle crowe singing folsom prison on the jimmy fallon show its surprisingly good

Also best cover ever is prob slipknot/korn doing a live cover of sabatoge

[smahala1991]

Halsey just doesn't have the voice, nor the background to even hold a candle to it.

[SleepingSnorlax]

I agree
And it was the wrong genre to try and convert the song to
Just doesn't work

[smahala1991]

I know. I've even heard a 60s go-go swinging version of this song preformed by a female singer and It sounded way better than Halsey, but still not like the original.

[SomeGuy37]

Don't FCK with Johnny's stuff, OK? Same with George Jones, and Willie Nelson,
Hank Williams, Conway Twitty, Patsy Cline and Loretta Lynn. They were One and Onlies, and nobody could EVER do better than the classics!!

[smahala1991]

I agree, Halsey messed it up big time

[SomeGuy37]

In Memory of all of them:

[smahala1991]

out of those Loretta is the oly one alive

[smahala1991]

oh sorry didn't see Willie. Waylon was great too

[SomeGuy37]

Yeah, I think she is, and Wille too, but they don't have to be dead to be GREAT!!
Also, Ray Charles!!

[smahala1991]

His version of America The Beautiful was amazing

[crazywaves28]

Johnny cash all the way. He's a true legend grown up with parents who are into this sort of music. to be honest Halsey seems a bit more Modern than when Johnny sung this song. Great question!!

[Jxpxtxr]

They are so different that they are hardly even comparable, but the original is always the original, so I go with Johnny.

[Mustachekitteh]

Johnny Cash because his voice is down right awesome.

[georgepbush]

Never really liked Johnny Cash or Halsey. He's a classic though and she isn't yet, so I want to give it to him but I didn't really like either one.

[vishna]

I like the slower set up of the second one, but I don't like her voice.
I think he did it better.

[Emmdk]

I think its difficult to compare the two versions due to the different time periods. I like both

[Hollywood-Glam]

My preference goes to Johnny Cash, I'm not a fan of Halsey :/

[Maxemeister]

My opinion is I didn't listen to either I think whoever sings the original did it better

[MrAtticusLebowski]

lol at "niether" option. Cash all the way.

[smahala1991]

there's gonna be haters either way lol.

[Other_Tommy_Wiseau]

J cash did it a little too fast and upbeat for me while hasley did it a little too slow and dark... Somewhere in the middle would be perfect

[EmpatheticLady]

Johnny Cash. They're really different, though.

[Phoenix98]

Honestly I'm more of a Johnny Cash fan.

[danii_024]

no one can ever beat the man in black

[tricia103]

Definitely Johnny Cash 👌

[TheFlak38]

Cash. no question about it.

[Waffles731]

Cash, no contest

[FrankReynolds]

Johnny Cash version crushes her version.

[simxc]

No comparison. Definitely Cash!

[Superchick123]

Johnny Cash!

[Daynada]

Cash

[lost_alice]

Halsey, I don't like the first version
