First listen.
Listened to the Lesley Gore version. Then listed to the Matt and Kim cover again. The cover has a fuller sound. First, the vocals sound like there's some sort of reverb effect applied that gives it more oomph to it. Second, the background beat that complements the vocals has an almost equal level of volume as the vocals. Overall, the cover has similar vocals, but feels more powerful.
I listened to the cover by Grace and it's good. Like the original, it has a stronger focus on the vocals. I suppose ultimately I like Matt and Kim's cover because I like Matt and Kim's music.

Summary:
Above you can find my thoughts on the original, the cover by Grace, and how they compare to the cover by Matt and Kim. In short, I like Matt and Kim's version best (biased opinion).

Overall Rating: 5.0/5
