I love hearing Prince sing this song. I'm not crazy about the talking in the middle, but the rest of the song is absolutely beautiful. I love the last note that he carries....it gives me chills!

Bonnie Raitt.

George Michael...

Prince can't make me love Bonnie Raitt and nobody can make me love this song.
(I'm not too crazy about the thread, even.)

Out of those two, Bonnie.

But George Michael's beats both of them, pants...I mean hands down.

Prince ownz it.

I hate most Prince covers but I love this one. I like Bonnie's next then George.

It's Bonnie's American classic. It's hers all the way.

Prince's version is good but only for a minute or two. The way he changes the lyrics annoys the crap outta me.

Bonnie's version makes me cry. I can actually feel her pain.

Prince's version is more like, "I Can't Make U Sleep With Me"

George... stop whining!


Bonnie.

Bonnies version bores me ..

Princes version makes me feel a whole different story

It's crap no matter who sings it.

Bonnie Raitt hands down no question about it.
Bonnies version is really the only version in my book, a timeless classic.

I really prefer The original by Bonnie.

Prince's

Hello... I'm Come funkateer 'Danceelectric'

I love Bonnie's for it's elegant bluesy simplicity. Prince turned it into a sensual, sexy soul stirrer. I thought George's version was uninspiring, dull and sterile.

I like the Bonnie Raitt version best.

This is my favorite cover Prince has done (not counting "A Case of U" from ONA piano, since that's not a full cover). That said, I still prefer Bonnie's original quite a bit more.

PRINCE

and George M

I love and appreciate both versions. The same with..."La La La...means I love U."

Bonnie.


Prince's is an abomination and I will never forgive him for it.

nod to Raitt, Candy Dulfer also covered this song on one of her records

Bonnie. She makes it sound like heartbroken prayer.
