      @@ranckie5055 You have a right to have your opinion. The difference is not about "changes," but about interpretation. No one remembers today this subdued version of the song as sang by Kristofferson here. Most everyone is enthralled with Janis' heartfelt, passionate interpretation.
      Someone once said abut her, "She was quite different from anything I had experienced before." That someone was no other than Kris Kristofferson, who would date Janis Joplin for a number of years.

      It was already a hit awhile before Janis sang it...but her specific version, released in 1971, made it an even bigger hit. I like it best as Kristofferson and Gordon Lightfoot did it.
      "In 1969, Roger Miller first recorded the song, which peaked at number 12 on the country charts. Miller's recording led to a huge influx of interest from other singers of all different genres. Numerous artists including Gordon Lightfoot, Charley Pride, and Kenny Rogers, covered the song before Janis Joplin's version, which was posthumously released on her 1971 album Pearl. "Me and Bobby McGee" became Joplin's only number one hit and is widely considered one of the greatest songs of all time."

      Yes, such a difference, so real. Today, they are so fake in every way and seem to strive to distance themselves from nature. So many female performers today feel the need to voluntarily become sex objects in order to hawk their art, which is often subpar or worse.
      I like what George Michael wrote about the subject in his song, "John and Elvis Are Dead," when he asks if young women know what their foremothers went through to change women's roles from being sex objects.
      Of course, we can't let the men off of the hook either as they have become more fake as well almost as if both genders have become caricatures of themselves. Authenticity, as well as true, lasting art, is in short supply these days.

    I can see why Kristofferson was seen as a songwriter and not a singer in those days. He improved a lot with age and there's a great version of him singing this song out there. Rita, on the other hand, was luscious and a fantastic singer. Check out We're All Alone if you have any doubts. Kristofferson was gifted as a songwriter but even more gifted to have a relationship with Rita.
