Aretha Franklin's cover of "Nothing Compares 2 U"

Just a head's up, Aretha Franklin did a 'jazzy' cover of "Nothing Compares 2 U" on her latest album (Aretha Franklin Sings The Greatest Diva Classics).

I didn't like her take so much, but thought fans would like to check it out.

Cheers!

awful up tempo version, really bad arrangement... no feeling, no sensuality...

I am so disappointed with this version - especially after her rather great cover of the Adele song.

I will skip buying the album. sad sad sad
