It is nearly always the original for me.
But there are exceptions  -  I thought the film of Brokeback Mountain was equally as good as the short story from which it came.
In classical music, one may prefer a particular version because of the timbre of a certain voice or the shrillness of another.
In country music there is an old song called "Making Believe".
I have heard 6, 7, 8 0r so versions and I like them all. I think that is because I think the song is so good.

Oh my God how DARE you even SUGGEST All Saints and that Moulin Rouge gubbins could even go anywhere near the original

And the McCartney Live and Let Die will always be the best.

The only two covers I can think of (off the top of my headtop) are Paul Weller's version of 'Birds' (Neil Young did the original) and Adele 'To Make You Feel my Love' (Bob Dylan original).

If anyone ever tried to cover A Change is Gonna Come (Sam Cooke) and make it into some Stock Aitken and Waterman pop fizzled pile of crap I think I would have to hunt them down and hurt them. Repeatedly. Some things should never be attempted.

Ooooh, get you!! I wasn't saying nuffink about that one was better than the other, so check yourself before you wreck yourself Missy Elliot 

....saying that though IF I had to choose one over the original it would have been All Saints........*runs like hell*

Don't you get all wobbly head and pointy finger on ME sonny Jim. I never said you said the other versions were better, I was mortified that you would even want to make the comparison in the first place. So check yourself and correct yourself
