What the hell? This is HIS song, not Nelly. If anything Nelly shouldn't have went ahead and released it when Republic already made it clear they had plans for it to crossover to Pop.
Thomas Rhett's version is far better than Nelly's, in my opinion. I don't think they compare to each other at all. Nelly's is a nice cover, I can admit that though.
I still think the Tori Kelly feature wasn't neccessery and they should've pushed the original but if the new version helps it climb on pop then I'm ok with it as it doesn't sound too bad judging by that preview. Their voices blend well together.
