8. Post the YouTube link in the body of the message to get the video to show up

And yes - this is THE version. The rest are just covers. Well, there is the Portuguese version which is better:

3. Of those, Nat is the man. But Astrud herself, with Joao and Stan Getz shuts em all down..

4. that really does nothing for me

7. For me, too, but Francis Albert Sinatra and

Antonio Carlos Jobim hit it for me, too.

The studio album they recorded together has some of Sinatra's most easy, natural singing.

6. Give Denny Mclain's version a tryout

Did you know Denny Mclain was the last organ player to win thirty games?

But of the versions you listed it's Frank's version. However I like Astrid Gilberto's version the best.

9. Couldn't find Sussanah McCorkle singing this but did find Waters of March.

I don't think she recorded 'Girl From Ipanema', unfortunately.
