Prince covering "I want you back."

This "Jackson 5" cover is an interesting choice for Prince. Why do you believe that Prince would choose, "I want you back," versus "The Love you save," or "ABC?"
Do you think that Prince has some kind of alterior motive when he chooses the covers that he does?

I kind of look at music from an inspired perspective, whether or not it's performed by the original artist so I do believe that Prince has his reasons for this choice, I just don't know what exactly.

Why do you think Prince chose this song?

It's found in the setlist performed at his current home when the new website was showcased to people who received personal invitations.

To b honest, I dont keep up with much of what he does now!! If what he does is inaccessible to me then I dont pay any real attention!!!! I am what u might call a "casual bystander" now and have been for some time!!! I am still very much "old skool" when it comes to Prince!!!!nod nod

Oh I know...yet the Internet helps us stay in touch a little...If it weren't for people posting on the org. I wouldn't know what Prince was singing here and there either.

Maybe He didn't piss her off...maybe he killed her because she loved him so much, he just had to be left alone, so then she went and had one night stands with Issac, and Alex, probably Tesla too cool ...just kidding.

I don't know zucris, sometimes I just get interesting sensations from Prince's cover tunes. I know that Prince loves thousands of artist's and millions of songs...I just wonder why Prince selects the one's he does.

La La La means I love U
Betcha By Golly WoW
I can't make U love me
Rollercoaster
Whole Lotta Love
Miss U
I want U back
Crimson and Clover/Wild Thing

All great songs and I know Prince has done other's, maybe another org. member could post some.

Just guessing because he likes them/wants to put a Prince twist on it...

You guys think waaaay too much about things to the point it gets weird... i.e. I think he will reveal the new site on 2/14 because 2+1+4=7.

Yes....it would be great to be there anytime Prince covers an MJ or J5 song. nod

I remember when he did "Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough" with Tamar in Chicago in 2006. That was one of the greatest performances of that song I've ever heard. touched

That would be cool. lol

I'd love to see him perform the J5's hit "I Am Love." Prince and his band would be incredible performing that song live, especially the uptempo portion towards the end.

The eyes of love will watch you
As you go from day to day
The hands of love will catch you
When you fall along the way
My arms will hold and be with you
Your whole life through
'Cause I am love
And I'm in love with you
I find myself in wonder
Of why I've been misused
When love brings understanding
How can it be confused
(War and poverty wasn't meant to be)
Hate is drivin' me away
'Cause I am love
And I'd love to stay
Come back lover, come back
This is where you belong
Come back lover, come back
This is where you belong
Come back lover, come back
This is where you belong
Come back lover, come back
This is where you belong
Come back lover, come back
This is where you belong
Come on back, oh yeah
Please, this is where you belong
I am love
Sprinkle myself around you
I am love
Shower my warmth upon you
I'm the answer to the question
My key unlocks your heart
I'm your friend and your lover
Your sister and your brother
Let me in your mind
(Let's get together)
You're runnin' out of time
(Let's get together)
Your wish is my command
(Let's get together)
People take my hand
(Let's get together
(Love, love, love, love)
(Let's get together, let's get together)
I am love,
Sprinkle myself around you,
I am love
Shower my warmth upon you
I am love
I am love


woot!
