SCROLL DOWN TO DECIDE WHO SANG IT BETTER...
Cry ME A River: Selena Gomez performed a rendition of Justin Timberlake's break-up song, Cry Me A River, at a show for UNICEF in New York on Saturday night
Before she began singing, she appeared to be opening up about the break-up, telling the crowd: 'I’ve been through a lot the past few months. It’s been weird and sad and cool. This song definitely speaks to me.'
Wearing her heart on her sleeve, Selena, who split with Justin over the New Year, belted out the classic along with a man playing the bongo drums and two guitarists.
The pretty brunette wore a bohemian-style white dress and daisies in her hair for the performance, appearing matter of fact about the words as she sang them.

With the crowd cheering, after the rendition Selena said, 'OK, enough of that', and trailed off whilst discussing her new movie, Spring Breakers.
The rendition comes two months after Justin performed the same song during his Believe tour back in November.
The 18-year-old was in the midst of his first break-up with the Spring Breakers star, and emotionally crooned the song Timberlake famously released after his very public split from Britney Spears.
Night out: Following the party, Selena went out for a late night of partying with Nat and Alex Wolff from The Naked Brothers Band and Bridgit Mendler, before heading back to her hotel
Quick change: Selena had changed into denim jeans, a plaid shirt and a leather jacket
Happy star: Selena couldn't stop smiling as she made her way through a sea of fans
Meanwhile, last night Justin didn't appear to be crying about his relationship break down with Selena.
Instead he was posting revealing shots of his backside.
The newly single 18-year-old posted a photo of himself mooning on his Instagram, then quickly deleted it.

No different from the antics of most boys his age, of course, but before the Biebs could think twice about his revealing snap... the image had been liked 86,000 times.
Wearing a sunglasses and a hat, Justin could be seen throwing a cheeky glance over his shoulder as her bared his bottom to the cyberverse.
His manager Scooter Braun declared it all a jolly good wheeze.
Braun took to Twitter to say: 'As a prankster u have to respect another good prank. only makes sense. #crackdealer.'
Larking around: Justin's been busy uploading wacky pictures of himself since his split with Selena, his last laugh was a shot of the teen idol wearing very tight jeans
To which Justin responded with just: 'haha.'

Justin bore a passing resemblance to John Travolta in Grease, not to mention Linda Hamilton in Terminator 2, as he showed off his new look muscular physique in the blue denims and tight white vest.

The final nail in the coffin came while they were in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico celebrating the New Year where the pair got into a row over Justin still seeing Victoria's Secret model Barbara Palvin.
'They had another huge fight, and Selena won't forgive him,' a source told Us Weekly.
Justin, on the other hand, saw his name linked with Palvin's once again after the beautiful supermodel insisted there was nothing between them.
The 19-year-old model became a target for fans of Justin and Selena after the Disney cutie angrily posted an image of her beau with the model.
'You know how the drama started — Selena retweeted the picture,' Barbara told Celebuzz. 'I’m okay to talk about it because I know there’s nothing. It’s ridiculous how this got to the news.'
Barbara added that she was just 'hanging out' with the Baby singer during a fashion show last fall.
'That was it . . . that’s why it was so weird. They thought I caused a big drama, their break-up.'
The two also fanned the rumour flames when they went to see The Lion King on Broadway the night after the fashion show.
