''How Do I Live''

EW's GRADE
B

Trisha Yearwood and LeAnn Rimes have been battling it out on radio with their recordings of Diane Warren's theme from Con Air. Rimes' lush version was rejected from the movie at the last moment and replaced with Yearwood's countrier rendition of of ''How Do I Live'', and it's easy to see why: When Yearwood sings, ''If you ever leave/Baby, you would take away everything good in my life,'' her voice throbs with adult emotion. Wunderkind Rimes, on the other hand, might as well be addressing her puppy. B
