? Does Prince Get Upset Over Other Performers Doing His Songs? Does he Allow them to perform his songs or do they just cover his songs? I Heard he was Miffed at Alicia Keys. Is that True? Why? | |

Not at all. If you saw that CNN interview, he says that he's proud that younger generations are being influenced by his music. In fact, he was honored to have his song covered by Alicia Keys because that showed how important and long-lasting his music is. NEW WAVE FOREVER: SLAVE TO THE WAVE FROM THE CRADLE TO THE GRAVE. | |

In Entertainment Weekly when asked about Ginuwine remaking "When Doves Cry" he said he hated it and hates it when any1 remakes his tunes. [This message was edited Tue Jul 27 23:12:39 2004 by paisleypark4] Straight Jacket Funk Affair

They buy the license and cover them. He wasn't pissed at Alicia. This post not for the wimp contingent. All whiny wusses avert your eyes. | |

actually any artist would have to get his permission to cover a song.....and he gets royalties from the sales...for using it...so he probably would be pretty happy...according to how well the song does | |

Nope, not true. You could buy the license yourself and cover a Prince song without his permission. If you want to drastically change it - then you need his permission. This post not for the wimp contingent. All whiny wusses avert your eyes. | |
