Alanis Morissette's 'You Oughta Know': Crystal Bowersox or Haley Reinhart, who sang it better?



Haley Reinhart's judges' pick for the Top 3 performances on "American Idol" was Alanis Morissette's 1995 rocking girl anthem "You Oughta Know." Haley seemed to struggle with the verses, but her wailing on the choruses pulled it out for her.

But Crystal Bowersox did the song first on "Idol" - and with Alanis Morissette herself, during the Season 9 finale from the Kodak Theatre in Los Angeles. We've got both videos here, let us know who you think did it better.

While Crystal Bowersox is a superb musician, it does feel like maybe Haley's more of an Alanis singer than Crystal is. What do you think, "Idol" fans? Vote below in our poll!

Haley was the best hands down and received semi standing ovation,from Randy and steven!
out of the 6 ovations haley has received 4...

Lauren is awful reminds me of one of those Balloons in a Parade got to go!she's pampered by jlo
b o r i n g!

Haley wins!!! Hands down!!! Much better vocally and visually than any other contestant. Go Haley!!!

Haley SUCKS!!! She couldn't carry Crystal's bra strap!!!

I agree.. Haley sucks.. Crystal nailed every song she sung last year. No comparison...She couldn't sing Stevie Nicks song either...

AI has never had 3 great idols competing and I tell you this is very hard for America to choose because all 3 are fantastic, i wish they could all win. I love Loren because her voice has such warmth that i could listen to her all day, Scotty & Haley are great as well and they bring something diff than Loren. so I will b happy with whomever of these 3 wins. I like to know whom would Simmon Cowel choose, it would be very interesting to know!!!!

I really think our votes don,t count.Haley really needs to go.Her head has gotten bigger than the stage.It should be Lauren and Scotty standing in the end.

No point to watching American Idol any more, looks like the writers and producers have already chosen Haley, I mean come on, is it really fair that Haley has the wind machine and lights, the other 2 contestants had nothing. Used to like the show but might as well wait until we hear them on the radio.

The contestants have a list of props they can ask to use during their performances. Even though Haley is not my favorite, it's not fair to knock her because she chose to use the props and the other two didn't.

Crystal sang this song better than Haley by a long shot, not even a contest. This group of contestants has to be one of the worse yet, I can think of one person who is happy about this year and that is Lee, because the winner will sell less than him.

I think all 3 will outsell Lee.
