Johnny Nash sang this song not Johnny Cash. I don't think someone who sang at Folsom would sing such a cheesy love song.

She looks like a "major" wreck. I still love her music though, even if I would run in the other direction if I ran in to her in a dark alley.

Amy Whinehouse is a crackwhore. About 50 seconds of this song is all I could take. Can't she overdose or soemthing, already?

MusicSnob says – reply to this

Not only did Johnny Cash never perform "Cupid," it was actually written by the greatest singer — and one of the most awesome songwriters — in the history of the world, Sam Cooke. If you're going to write about music, please do your homework, Perez. As it is, you're coming off as a hack. Stick to your strength: drawing dicks on people's faces.

Johnny Cash did not cover or write this song! It was originally written and done by Sam Cooke. Lets fix that shall we?! HaHa!
joan says – reply to this

52

How much of an idiot are you? That song was written by Sam Cooke. It is not a Johnny Cash song. If you new anything about either artist it would be pretty clear that it is NOT a Cash song. Do you research anything or do you just talk out of your ass?

that being said she sounded great!

THIS IS A SONG BY SAM COOKE….DUMMY!
thebestmoms.com says – reply to this

88

Awesome-just awesome, as usual.

For the commentator stating a double standard in how Amy and Britney are portrayed here, recognize one thing-Amy has talent, sure she has problems but she has true, raw talent and I'm sure a lot of heartbreak. Britney is a fucking idiot vagina flashing baby abandoning douche. People give her more shit because she IS SHIT! Amy doesn't have kids-she doesn't go around showing her vagina, she doesn't hit cars and giggle about if she hurt her car or not. There's no double standard-Britney is just NO WHERE NEAR AMY'S LEVEL OF TALENT. Britney is a Paris Hilton wanna be from the stix who should be ringing up my groceries. Amy should be required listening.

Mic says – reply to this

95

People who keep asking why perez doesn't talk shit about amy like he does for britney even though Amy is a "major" drug addict HERE IS THE ANSWER…:Amy doesn”t have two poor kids waiting for her at home and most importantly she has " MAJOR" talent and she offers that to us…what exactly is britney offering to society?ps:thanks perez for bringing this cover to my attention.

moondance says – reply to this

98

Ewwwwww… that just really sucks. Beautiful voice, way over-played on this song. And, by now you've got your history straight. Jonny Cach would not sing this song.
daynna says – reply to this

99

um, that'd be either the Sam Cooke classic or the Johnny NASH classic.

Johnny Cash has not once recorded that song. He's a legend. We mustn't mix up Cash and Nash. please.
