I think that I mostly don't like the sort of droning long-form version (a la The Animals) ... Nina's is probably the one I enjoy most (on "... Sings the Blues") ... and insofar as Meshell's is a nice take on Nina's, I enjoy it enough. But the droning version just rings in my ears, so even versions substantially different kind of grate on me.

It's weird too - I rarely can say "I don't like ______" in terms of a given song - I might not like the performance, but I usually don't feel inclined to judge actual song as bad. In this case, there's almost something about the tonality of the thing... *shrug*
