Uh... I like this version better then Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper!

I still haven't seen the movie, but I've heard the song "Shallow" from the movie a bunch....how can you not?  I was never a big fan of the song...even tho I am a huge Lady Gaga fan and of course a Bradley Cooper fan....he's so hot.

Anyway... Jimmie Allen and new country artist Abby Anderson just released a cover of the song and its REALLY good.

Crazy how changing the singers on a song can make it so different?

Abby is a new country artist, I met her in Orlando when she opened for Brett Eldredge and she is really good.  Super sweet and always has a big smile on her face.  And as you will hear in this video....she is a damn good singer.

Listen to this version and let me know what you think?  Am I alone in thinking this is better?

Here is the original version with Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper
