love's no fun

picked up and produced by the right person at the right moment, "love's no fun" could have been as big as "nothing compares 2 u"...

"love's no fun" in the style of "nothing compares to u" live-version would be interesting! cool

Elisa's version was definitely better than Mayte's. It should've been pushed as a single and maybe given a video. Her promotion seemed to be all over the place back then. There was a video for 'On The Way Up' and then a late night performance of 'Ooh this I Need'. I don't know if there was a follow-up single, anyone?

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!

WOW! Havent heard this song in AGES!. Great song, and yes it coulda/shoulda been something more than just a Prince protoge's song.

And Elisa's version is 10x greater than Maytes.

Another example that P's bad reproductions.

Another reason why it might be better to strive for going to heaven!

I agree but I defo would love to hear other interpretations of the song. It's a good song.

Both are kinda the same version anyway. Mayte's version has the problem that it clearly highlights her vocal limitations, in a way that's almost embarrassing on a professionnal record. It's the only song on the album which has this problem so I'm not sure why they kept it, but anyway... Cute little love song anyway smile

A version by Rosie may have rocked!
