Bilal-"Adore" was never made so you musta heard him singing in the shower or something. smile

He did do a cover of "HCUDCMA" though which is far better than Alicia Keys' version.

Tom Jones "Kiss" is worst because it is almost more famous than Prince's original and some people think it was TJ's first. Oh yeah and it's rubbish too. smile

Ahhh. You're right. I was thinking of How Come You Don't Call Me. And it's terrible. The only thing better about his version that Alicia's is the music.

All except Chaka's "I Feel For You" & Sinead's "Nothing Compares 2 U." D'Angelo's "She's Always in My Hair" was particularly bad.

LaToya Jackson??? omfg

Mariah & Dru Hill's "The Beautiful Ones" ain't anything to write home about.

Has anybody ever heard the Goo Goo Dolls take on "I Could Never Take..."? Is it awful?!?

I knew that someone would bring Mariah's name lol. I 4 one think its a GREAT cover of Prince and YES I agree that Sisqo ruined that song.

It is rare for me to like a Prince cover.

I especially detest Sinead O'Conner's "Nothing Compares 2 U", Tom Jones' "Kiss," and Mariah's "The Beautiful Ones."

blechhh barf

Remaking Prince songs should be made illegal!

i just don't understand this from a prince fan. he stayed close to the original. he only funked it up a bit, which often is a good thing. vocals are almost identical, if not for the fact that they are now sung by a different person. so, it can hardly be the music that's bothering you. you must have some kind of grudge against d'angelo. am i reaching?

I think Melisa Morgan's cover of Do Me Baby is good. That is actually one of my favorites along with TLC's Get It Up and If I Was Your Girlfriend.
