“If You Should Ever Be Lonely”: Reina, Real McCoy or Val Young?

Recently, Val Young’s 1985 club hit “If You Should Ever Be Lonely” has resurfaced on dance music radio station playlists across the USA. :D Upon doing an online search, I discovered that Val’s song was remade twice. Do any of you know the song or its remakes? What do you think?

Original Val Young version from 1985 without doubt...fantastic groove.
I think the REAL MCCOY version is a good attempt though.
Hate the most recent recording by REINA...ugh...seemed to have killed off the essence of the song.

Even Mariah Carey jumped on the bandwagon, in a way. Here's the "If You Should Ever Be Lonely" remix of Heartbreaker":
