Yes, irritating, u got it right. I was going to say dull but itrritating says it better. Maybe the one song that would make me leave my seat and go look at the merchandise.

Yes, the UK CD single was an odd one too - as well as Letitgo and Solo, which were both on the US single, it included Pope (from The Hits 2), and Alexa De Paris (Extended Version) - making this single the only official place to get any version of Alexa De Paris on CD... All in all, it made for an interesting listen, albeit a rather random selection of tracks.

Incidentally, the UK single didn't include any of the Letitgo remixes, probably because the US maxi-single didn't come out until later.

This is my favorite Come track. I have 2 cd-singles, one with mixes, and the other with "Alexa De Paris"

I liked Let "It Go", but at the same time it was yet again a bad choice for a first single. It marked the beginning of the end for Prince as a hitmaker, and that can only be attributed to his decision making, not his talent.

Ahhhhh Yes, that's when ACE OF BASE was, for whatever reason, BIG, and Sheryl Crow was making her debut, and Aerosmith was making a comeback, oh and lets not forget The LION KING, no wonder Prince got lost in there.

Ya can't compete w/Disney, or Swedish pop stars.....WHAT WAS HE THINKING!?!?!?

Only thing that kept Lettigo from being a hit was Prince was kinda considered a hasbeen as for as music is concerned when it came out. He has a series of bad releases before that song. So lack of airplay kinda hurt it.

I alaways liked this song. I was working at a record store when the "Come" cd came out. I remeber a 20 something black guy walked in and said "I want that new prince song." When I gave it to him he looked at the cassingle and said "Prince finally made one for the brothers." I think "come" was a decent cd, but Let it go is a great jam.
