TLC version If I Was Ur Girlfriend

I'm notone for Prince covers but this version is pretty cool, maybe because I'm biased because I like TLC... smile but they followed the main structure and meldoy of the song, maybe one lyrical change, but hey, who's noticing. Just nice
Yes, at 19, I finally saw the Revolution, a legendary band. And I talked to Wendy!!! biggrin In addition to seeing Prince, I have now lived life. Thank you Purple People!!

I agree with you ectasy. I really like the groove they work with and they stay true to the song with a change or two.....I can groove this one on a regular basis!!!!!! One of the few songs i like as a remake from the Prince camp.

Meh. We've done this before, but it becomes just another 'I love you/you don't love me' song when sung from a female POV.

I did like their cover and their cover of 'Get It Up' rocked as well. You could tell they loved/respected the music by not trying to rework it to death! I also remember Prince saying "Free TLC" after performing 'Dinner With Delores' on Letterman. He must've approved of the covers.

When eye go 2 a Prince concert or related event it's all heart up in the house but when eye log onto this site and the miasma of bitchiness is completely overwhelming!

Isn't the whole point of this song that it's about a man trying to imagine what it must be like to be a girl's best friend, only to realise that he can't because he's still a man? How can this work if it's sung by a woman? I always felt that TLC just didn't understand this. shake
