BACKSTREET BOYS "I WANT IT THAT WAY" WHO DID THE BETTER COVER?

So just about everyone knows "I Want It That Way" by the Backstreet Boys, like it or hate it. I personally think it's a great song. So I found two covers on youtube. Both are great, but which one is better.

Me and a friend are at odds as to which is better, I think Jason Chen & Joseph Vincent did a better job. How about you guys, which is the better cover?

Not bad, but I'm more a fan of the traditional route.

I've always been of the opinion that what is the point of a cover if it sounds exactly like the original?

By traditional style, I mean of the same general genre. Jason and Joseph did a more mellow and relaxed version. Ahmir obviously, did a R&B rendition.

Why did you make this topic in general? Why not just a status or something my god man... Originals still better, don't see the point of covers unless they add something different or just use the original as a base for something else.

Of course the original is better, I never stated it wasn't. I like covers that change it up, but not to drastically. Imagine "You Raise Me Up" in punk style... I don't think that would sound right.

EDIT: As stated, I made this because me and my friend are at odds as to which is the better cover. Not that either were better then the source material. I figured since we have some very opinionated people on here, I may get some good replies.
