dragged down by the horrible rapping. mind you, Tony isn't to blame for that imo. well, ok, his voice is horrible enough, but it was Prince who decided 2 have him on the tracks and who probably wrote most of the raps anyway. I don't think the songs would have been better if another person had done the raps, like say Cat for example. Those songs are all just so incredibly dated by those raps. On their own, they strut along nicely enough and would be cool to listen to unto this very day. But because of them horrible raps and over-trying to be hip they ended up the worst bunch of songs out of his career. Just think how nice the "Diamonds & Pearls" album wouldve been if it hadn't had any raps at all. Just some nice and quirky musical solo's where the raps are now. 
I don't understand it anyway. "Gett Off" was the coolest song on the radio that summer and it features little to none Tony M, apart from those "23 positions blabla" bits which would have been cooler had Prince done them too. Anywho, my point is, with a song like "Gett Off" on his new album, what the hell was he thinking he needed more rap for to give him more cred or to make him more hip?? The sickness got a little less on the symbol album, but even there, whenever Tony pops up, the song sinks into a tar pit trap of sickening disgust and you just have 2 hit the >>skip>> button quickly.  agree 100% | |

Turn down these voices inside my head Lay down with me, tell me no lies Just hold me close, don't patronize - don't patronize me CHORUS: Cause I can't make you love me if you don't You can't make your heart feel something it won't Here in the dark, in these final hours I will lay down my heart and I'll feel the power But you won't, no you won't 'Cause I can't make you love me, if you don't I'll close my eyes, then I won't see The love you don't feel when you're holding me Morning will come and I'll do what's right Just give me till then to give up this fight And I will give up this fight CHORUS: Cause I can't make you love me if you don't You can't make your heart feel something it won't Here in the dark, in these final hours I will lay down my heart and I'll feel the power But you won't, no you won't 'Cause I can't make you love me, if you don't these are the lyrics...the person who is singing cant convey attitude..they are heartbroken....he aint no pimp..he is a sad and heartbroken soul.... this person is desperate asking for one more night...one more night and its it...and he is begging for his/her lover to show them any emotion, but they know they wont... the final ad-lib that prince sings is a total contradiction (lyrically) to the entire song..  The ad-lib admittedly is a problem. However the vocal expression and delivery throughout the body of the song is brilliant and I guess that I am simply not willing to throw the baby out with the bath water. I do understand you better though, and its cool that you have the appropriate and due respect for what is an absolutely splendid song. Kudos  [Edited 8/1/05 21:14pm] | |

[Edited 8/1/05 21:14pm] well actually i love the ad-lib of Prince's version of " I Cant Make You Love Me" is very sexy.  | |

I Would Die 4 U...the ending is 
"Alphabet St." overstays it's welcome, should be shorter. Butchering the beginning of "Joy In Repitition" on the GB sndtk 
 Tony M.I'm sick and tired of the Prince fans being sick and tired of the Prince fans that are sick and tired! | |

It is with regret that I must for perhaps the first time walk a different path on this post.  I absolutely love the way P does that song.Hmm....no, I can't agree with you. Prince's cover is not that good. A nice cover of that song is the one that George Michael did. Now that's nice. Prince was cool on that cover, but George Michael trumped him in the end. (Wait, that sounded wrong!) George Michael's version is amazing!The check. The string he dropped. The Mona Lisa. The musical notes taken out of a hat. The glass. The toy shotgun painting. The things he found. Therefore, everything seen–every object, that is, plus the process of looking at it–is a Duchamp. | |
