To be honest; no I don`t like his version. Sorry. His cover versions of different songs in general is not very impressive. The vorst cover by Prince is "I can`t make U love me".
I believe that sex is a beautiful thing between two people. Between five, it's fantastic.

I've always liked his version of "one of us", although I like most of the Emancipation album if truth be told.
So look into the mirror, do u recognise some1? Is it who u always hoped u would become, when u were young?

As a little sidenote. He did that song while Joan's song was still on the radio as a hit. I remember in November of 1995 at Paisley Park they gave us a Christmas Gift which was a cassette single of "Slave" and "New World" and it was wrapped in a photocopied piece of paper that was signed by all the bandmates and Prince wrote over and over again "Joan Osbournes One Of Us Rules". At the end of the night they played Prince's cover over the soundsystem after he played his set.

This song, says something, prince is to afraid to write.

Still the beauty of his voice, with the meanings in the song, makes it one of the best
News: Prince pulls his head out his ass in the last moment.
Bad News: Prince wasted too much quality time doing so.
You have those internalized issues because you want to, you like to, stop.
