HOW MANY PEOPLE LOVE THE SONG "I CAN'T MAKE YOU LOVE ME" AND WISH PRINCE WAS SINGING IT TO U?

I FOR 1 LOVE THE SONG "I CAN'T MAKE YOU LOVE ME" IT IS SO SWEET. THE BEST PART IS WHEN HE TALKS IN THE SONG AND SAYS "DO YOU LOVE ME? LOOK AT ME?" I CAN ALMOST PICTURE IT.LOL WHAT SONG DO YOU LOVE OF PRINCE'S? ESPECIALLY THE OLDER STUFF?

The original by Bonnie Raitt is SO much better. I remember the first time listening to Emancipation and getting to this song and being like "NOOOOO!!!"

I never got why Prince put sooooo many covers on 'Emancipation'...

No, I don't wish he was singing it to me.

I think he does a good job of the song, but George Michael and Bonnie Raitt do it better.

Yep. I actually love it. lot more than the original, although i know that in that i am wrong. somehow i almost feel ashamed to like it. but still i do! love it.

although i hate most of emancipation.

... funny enough i also love Betcha By Golly Wow! shit. sometimes i just love to have some pathetic ballads.

I can't really resist "Betcha" either. His vocals in the last half are really, really beautiful... cheese song, but I love it.

I hate to say it, but George Michael indeed did it better.

Bonnie Raitt's version is heartbreaking...

Prince's version I don't like....

I prefer Bonnies Riatt's, and then George Michael's over Prince's version.
