doot, do do doo
do, do, do-do


My favorite part of the ORIGINAL song is the riff, which is merely beatboxed during the bridge/break of Ginuwine's version, so I don't enjoy it all that much. Could be the weakest song on The Bachelor.

You might be the only one. This often gets voted worst Prince remake ever.

Just another pathetic remake. I don't mind Ginuwine, but when are people going to learn that you can't cover Prince songs? Nearly all covers of his songs are pathetic.

The video was cool. The song was kinda muffulled up a little.
Some people think I'm kinda cute
But that don't compute when it comes 2 Y-O-U.

I love Genuwine but I hate this remake, just like I hate D'Angelo's cover of She's Always In My Hair. I think the copy of When Doves Cry by Quindon Traver from the movie Romeo & Juliet was better. I really don't think people should remake Prince's songs, for some reason they don't sound right except 4 Me'lissa's Do Me Baby & Chaka's I Feel 4 U.

I think Mushroomhead did a much better version!

It was a bit boring to be honest and I don't like the fact that he changed some of the lyrics.

I actually though G did a solid job on "WDC." It wasn't for everyone with the sounds and shit, so I can understand why some people weren't feeling it. Something For The People did the BEST cover of "She's Always In My Hair" and Bilal's version of "HCUDCMA" is tight too.

I think her version is better than The Family's & Prince's. Prince has the worst!
