    Also, wasn't Truth Hurts out before Juice too? I thought it caught fire last year because it was in a Netflix show.

    I love Bad Guy but don’t think she has anything else close to it. I love Juice and think Lizzo has others comparable to it. And both songs were nominated for the Grammy, so that makes them comparable.

    And, yes, Truth Hurts was released in like 2016 and rereleased when Lizzo blew up. It might be better than Juice, though I like Good as Hell better.

    Doobie Brothers "Jesus is Just Alright" > Byrds "Jesus is Just Alright."

    Thunderbyrd's "American Girl" > Tom Petty's "American Girl."

    Never heard a Bruce Springsteen version of "The Fever," which he wrote. But it cannot possibly be better than Southside Johnny's version.

    It was better than Motley Crue's.

    Not my cup o' tea. Too long and drawn-out. SSJ's version is just about five minutes of well-paced magic.

    Manfred Mann's version of "Blinded by the Light." Album cut.

    IIRC, Springsteen's released version of "The Fever" was a one shot demo. I don't think he ever gave it a proper studio produced treatment. It starts out slow and instrumental and kinda gains momentum and grows. I always liked it, as well as the Southside Johnny version, which was far more fully realized.
