Which version do you prefer?

The album version of ''The Most Beautiful Girl in the World'' or the single version?

I think they are both nice, and it is not easy for me to say.
I first thought the single version, but I cannot say for sure.

I am interested to hear your replies.

Thank you for your time.

I always felt the Mustang Mix should've been the original version instead. Never really felt the song.

I don't care for any of them, frankly. shrug
We don’t mourn artists because we knew them. We mourn them because they helped us know ourselves.

Album version for sure. Still remember Chris Evans pointing out the ticking clock sound and going "isn't prince brilliant!? he dropped a ticking clock sound into the mix there!! fantastic!!!", like any depression-addled ginger radio presenter might like to point out before attempting to marry a future Doctor Who assistant.

I loved the single, but when I heard the pumped up version on TGE, I loved that one too.

However, I like the duet mix with him and Mayte, called "The Most Beautiful U In The World".

Um...oh yeah, I did that mix.

I only like "Beautiful Girl" – 4:32 from the Get Wild CD-Single. It's the Eric Leads sax instrumental of it. Quite nice.

I love this version.
Some people are like Slinkies...

They're good for nothing but they still bring a smile to your face when you push them down the stairs.

I like the Gold Experience version better.

But the single version made a better single. lol

I love the original single version = music video version,

I love the production, beautiful and "simple"..

Mustang Mix is my second fave.....

the album version on Gold sounds more like a live band version to me. It doesn't have the same nerve like the original.

Imo. wink

I adore both crazily, but the single version is just the perfectly produced, clean "hit", so I'm gonna go with that one.
