It has come to my attention of late that my treasured "Ella, elle l'a" song originally written by Michel Berger and interpreted by France Gall got remade by Kate Ryan.

My opinion on the matter is that the Kate Ryan's version is a travesty that takes away the song's original meaning (a tribute to Ella Fitzgerald... the title of the song "Elle, elle l'a" is translated to "Ella, she has it" in English) and substitute some unimaginative modern dance beats and cheap sex appeal (not to mention a fair amount of narcissism) in its stead.

The original clip for the song (as interpreted by France Gall) can be found here:

The new remake by Kate Ryan can be found here:

I was curious about other people's take on the matter (well, those who care enough to have an opinion).

More specifically, I was wondering how many would prefer the new version and how many would prefer the original (and if possible, why).
