Somebody's Somebody Appreciation Thread How many of you love Somebody's Somebody and think that it's one of Prince's best ballads? I think if that song were released today, it would be a hit. I think that it's one of his timeless songs that doesn't sound dated. Anybody else agree? Trolls be gone! | |

It's a good song, but only the Derek Hughes version gets to me.

One of my all time favorites...one of the best tracks on Emancipation The greatest live performer of our times was is and always will be Prince.
Remember there is only one destination and that place is U All of it. Everything. Is U. | |

A somewhat boring, tinny, and forgettable track, IMHO. Seems like Prince forced himself to write a "radio-friendly" song and ended up with this. Not as offensive as some of his "New Jack Prince" attempts from that era but not one of my faves.
Emanicpation has much more interesting tracks showing a mature Prince but only about 1/3 of the album rise to that level. |

Love it. Nobody talks about the Ultrafantasy Edit, tho. That's my fave. "That's when stars collide. When there's space for what u want, and ur heart is open wide." | |

I like the song. The Ultrafantasy edit is my favorite as well. I like howe he used it in the "On sale now" promo on the "Holy River" CD single too Making love and music are the only things worth fighting for. | |

I love the song too. Cool video. I was at the video shoot, the part where Prince is walking through what looks like a club. It was done in the Love 4 One Another room at Paisley Park. TRUE BLUE |

I've always loved it, also the best track on the album for me | |

Judging by this thread, I think we've finally found THE Prince fan fault line |

Damn, I have none of these mixes? We're they released commercially? I would Google it but I'm trying to shit. "Drop that stereo before I blow your Goddamn nuts off, asshole!"

I love that part of the song and the video when it's raining....the cool way he's looking out the window and the music starts. But remember the strange close up of the t-shirt of Mayte? That always freaked me out for some reason. Not in a completely bad way but it just seemed kind of out of place. I knew he was madly in love with her at the time but that close up of the shirt was a bit too much Trolls be gone! | |

Don't get me wrong but P just released 2 new albums and there are plenty albums inbetween Emancipation and the recent releases and then someone comes up with an appreciatipn thread about SoSomebody... It's a nice song but i prefer Time & many others tbh... | |

I'm not sure but I think only one of you is being sarcastic and I'm having trouble figuring out who that is but so far, my money is Emesem is being sarcastic. Trolls be gone! | |

Emancipation is up there with SOTT, dead serious! And it was 3 discs like SOTT failed to materialize. |
