Popular by Eric Saade or Helena Paparizou?

which version do you like? The original or Helena's version?

Helenas version, no question about it!

As we are Helena's fans I voted for the 2nd

Regarding the music (the instrumental of the song) I like both of them but I prefer Elena's singing so I'll vote for the burlesque-jazzy version (it's not jazz btw).

But isn't it jazzy?

If you like to call it jazzy because of some of the instruments used, that's fine. But it's from being a "jazz" or a "jazz version" of the song.

I called the song jazzy in the description I send you.

I know and for a second I thought whether I should keep it or not but I didn't know if "burlusque version" would sound a bit provocative to some people so I stuck to your description. But Paparizakias named it "jazz" which is probably different to jazzy. Τhe former refers to a music genre and the latter to a style that has been adopted. For instance in 2008 Elena adopted a rockier image, but she never became a rock artist. There's a difference.

Same here.

i love them both but of course Helena's is better ... she sings, eric only tries

there should be option "both equally"

Original Version

Helena's version... I think I'm not impartial

Agree with you =)
I love both as much =)

Even though Helena sang it really great and it was really interesting to listen, I still prefer Eric version. I've listened Eric version like over 100 times. But Helena, so far just twice

Original version.

i like original one

Agree
I mean, I looooooved Elena's version! And it was even better live! (she rocked the last rehearsal!).
But I like pop sound better in general so I have to go with Eric's original version
It's slightly better

I voted for Eric's version too. Found jazz version a little boring
....

i like both in different ways. I'm a fan of both Eric and Elena, so I won't choose one which I prefer. I like Eric's original because he does it so well. He both dances and sing, and that's really hard to do. He gives it that extra that pop songs need.

Elena's version is more vamped up, and have totally different vibe. It has attitude, and power that goes straight through your body. It was an awesome way to do her comeback in Sweden, to show us that she's stronger than ever.

I can't compare them, they're so different, so I didn't vote for anyone

Yes I think Helena's version gave a whole new different vibe to the song. I love it!

I like both, but I voted for burlesque version, cause it's more my type
