Ayu: GREAT song. Still love it.
Kelly: Only heard it a couple of times...pretty good.
98 degrees: I know the band, but not the song. Wasn't Nick Lachey from here?
Keith Martin: Never heard of him. He sounds like a country singer...?

I like Kelly's.

haha of course Ayu is winning lol

LOL....
I thought it was hot, too...But my vote goes to Kelly..
I'm a sucker for ballads :tipsy

i voted for the one by ayu because i have never listen to the other 3 before

Yeah, wind-s did a song too called Because of You, and sounds almost similar to a Backstreet Boys/N'sync song... (forgot which boyband did it)... but I like that song anyways...

Ayu - I love it... the PV is good too, and I was teary the first time I watched it...
Kelly - Too overplayed now... I liked it when I first bought her cd...
98 Degrees - I can't even remember how this song went...
Keith Martin - uh.... never heard of him

Edit: Haha~ There are no votes for 98 Degrees or Keith Martin... ^^

the one by Ayumi Hamasaki is the best :P

yay yay ayu!

Because of you by Kelly Clarkson

I love Ayumi's, but I wanted to override my biases.

lol now I'm interested in finding out who he is~

I've never heard the 98degrees and Keith Martin versions, so from Ayu and Kelly... I voted for Kelly because her song gets stuck in my head a lot

Ayu.

Kelly Clarkson's blows.

i like ayu's version the best. the pure sadness. i love it.

Don't like those other ppl:cool

Ayumi of course :)
I'm not that much impressed by Kelly Clarkson, and I havent heard the other 2

Duh, Ayu! Kelly Clarkson's BoY is...exteremely bland and emotionless; (except for the screeching noise in her vocals). And 98 Degrees/Keith...no comment, they're no match for the ULTIMATE HAMASAKI AYUMI!

my vote went to Kelly, simply because Kelly's whole cd is amazing and she is one of the few US artists that is actually good.

I voted Kelly Clarkson's "Because of You" because, while both Ayu's and Kelly's are very personal, Kelly's version is closer to my heart, and sometimes makes me cry when I listen to it.

Keith Martin and 98 Degrees are automatically out.

But Kelly Clarkson and Ayu's are really great. Hard to decide between the two...

lol i havent heard the last two ''becaue of you's'' but i prefer Ayu's over kelly's

ke;;y's voice was relli good though

Ayu: Because of you is one of my favorite songs by Ayu, so of course I voted for this one ^^
Kelly: Actually I just bought Breakaway CD yesterday, so I really like her Because of you too. Such a nice ballad. But Ayu's is still definitely better.

I haven't heard (of) the last two songs, and I'm sure I wouldn't vote for w-inds either, I don't like boyband songs that much.
