Gett Off to be covered by Popstars Rejects

From http://www.ananova.com/en...html?menu=

The runners-up of Popstars: The Rivals are set to release their debut single in July - a cover of the Prince hit Gett Off.

New band Phixx consists of Peter, Andrew, Chris, Nick and Mikey - who is now dating Sarah from Girls Aloud.

They are managed by Nathan Moore - the former singer with 80s band Brother Beyond and 90s act World's Apart.

He also steered the original Popstars losers Liberty X to bigger success than Hear'say.

The band have been working with several songwriters, including Lee from Blue.

Chris told Radio 1: "He's the most talented guy any of us have ever worked with. He's a brilliant songwriter, producer, singer.

"People will print things but the fact that people like Lee with the talent they've got behind them believe in us is a massive compliment."

O.M.G Whatever next!! You just cant keep a good song down can you.Cover versions only happen with the writers consent and i suppose its some kind of compliment to be asked to cover it. Lets just all remember it like it was supposed to be heard. LET THE FUNK REIGN.

Actually the songwriter only needs to give consent to a cover if it significantly alters the original.

No. i doesn't matter if it's significantly different or not. you still have to get consent. IF you propose to do something significantly different to it, i.e use it as a sample then you often have to play the final mix to the writer.

I wish bananacologne would stop putting "gay org mafia" on everthing he posts. This site is for prince fans to express their opinions on the news we read, not to express what other org we are a proud member of.
