1. Nothing Compares 2 U -- Sinead O'Connor
2. Nothing Compares 2 U -- The Family both are better than any version I've heard by Prince | |

I Feel 4 U.
Nothing Compares If I was your Girlfriend (TLC) Shoot!! That is all I can think of. I am sure that there are more out there, but I can't think of anymore. “When I give food to the poor, they call me a saint. When I ask why the poor have no food, they call me a Communist.” Brazilian bishop Dom Hélder Câmara |

I don;t know why, but Mariah and Sisqo's version of the Beautiful Ones I prefer tot he original. I think it's the bit towards the end, Mariah's version just takes it up a level...difficult to explain.
Nothing Compares to You is the obvious one and probably the only one that could really be argued. "The time frame of 5.6 seconds established by the Zapruder film left no possibility of a fourth shot from Oswald's rifle..." | |

I agree! They're NEVER as good as the original songs! So why even bother trying?  pull your cell phone out and call your next of kin; we're about to get funky | |

sinead's nothing compares 2 u completely demolishes any prince live version and even more comprehensively demolishes the weak family version. but other than that i really cant think of any. there are lots of prince covers i love but none that are better than p's | |

I liked when Mariah Carey covered "The Beautiful Ones". Her version was pretty.
Not to say that the original wasn't, but I like hers too. I love a Man who:

I've always said when it comes to Prince and covers, "If you're an artist and you're gonna cover a Prince song, you better know what you're doing or it can be a disaster for you. On the other hand if you're an artist, don't ever let him cover one of yours cause it will be a disaster for you."  [Edited 8/24/06 15:15pm] | |
