Opposite!

I think the song is one of his best vocal performances. Its obviously knackered at the point of recording, and that works! Just like John Lennon on "Twist and shout".

Damn, I suspected that was possible. Okay, I retract my statement.

I just got through watching the bonus dvd of the Star Wars trilogy. Lucas is awsome. Sucks there's not going to be any more new episodes, huh?

Hell yeah, it's sad as hell. The summer of '05 was magical, going to see Revenge of the Sith in theatres all those times and then walking back to my house at night and doing air lightsaber moves. lol

I was 7 when I saw the original Star Wars in the theatre in '77 and I've loved it ever since...maybe someone will make a number 7 one day.

No. I don't think he sang it bad at all on the album version.

The Lovesexy Tour version blew away the SOTT version. He sang it with more feeling, more emphasis and the guitar solo was mind blowing. That one is my all-time favorite version.

I still can't stand the wway he changed it in the 90's.

I love this song! I do agree though that the better version is on the SOTT concert.

Co-sign. As great as Chaka and Larry are in their own right that updated version on that TV show of "The Cross" wasn't kewl.

For the sake of imagination what would it sound like if P did "Push And Pull" with Chaka live with Chaka in "concert mode"? (Those of you who've seen Chaka live back in the days may know what I'm talking about.)

Well said!!

I love "The Cross". It's one of my all time favourite Prince songs.

Beautiful. It blows me away.

Also I love U2's live version. It's interesting....
