I don't know if this poll has been made before, so my apologies if it has, but I was curious who y'all think has the better rendition of "How Do I Live."
Personally I don't have a preference; both versions are perfect in their own right and both versions have a special quality about them that renders them timeless imo.

It's an amazing song, and they both do an amazing job with it, but Trisha's is perfect whereas LeAnn's is merely great!

LeAnn's is fine, but Trisha's is perfect. No contest here for me.

LeAnn's version is good but every time I think of this song and want to listen to it I choose Trisha's version which I think is better.

Since LeAnn's version was the one that was a hit over here, that's the version I grew up listing too. Trisha's version is great too, but I'll got with LeAnn here

Trisha has by far the better vocal, but I probably prefer the production of the LeAnn version as it embraces the cheesy drama of the song.

I'd say Trisha is probably overall a better singer than Rimes if forced to decide, but I just prefer Rimes here. She gives the song a punch, where Trisha's version is more subdued.

Both are great, but Trisha Yearwood's is superior.

LeAnn, by far.
I do love both, however.

prefer LeAnn's version easily. I like Trisha's and would never skip it but LeAnn's just works better for me

Trisha's is better imo, I feel like LeAnn's falters during the last chorus

I can't believe Trisha didn't win this. Her rich tone. Plus she actually sings " How do I live without YOU" VS the annoying "without CHEW".

trisha's version is actually one of the first songs i remember listening to (lol), but i'm probably giving the edge to leann rimes
