The first video has the lyrics out of sync with her lips. I eventually had to stop watching because it put me right into uncanny valley.
The second style is much more like the music I used to play in band class> It fits my taste better :)

Hard to understand a word of the first, but I like the style and the voice better. The second is heck of a lot easier to understand, but improved lounge lizard style is still lounge lizard style.

The first, definitely, has more fidelity to the original and works better with the chosen style. I don't like the style of the second, therefore it goes to the bottom of the list, even though I appreciate the skill and technical craft involved in making it.

I feel that the second - technical and stylistic near-perfection aside - is too squeaky-clean for the lyrics. The first, however - by 1950s standards - can get away with them, and so, I prefer it.
