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

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. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Hands down, Ginuwine's.
What da hell was dat?? Thanks for the laughs, arguments and overall enjoyment for the last umpteen years. It's time for me to retire from Prince.org and engage in the real world...lol. Above all, I appreciated the talent Prince. You were one of a kind. | |

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???  | |

Oh my God!  You wanna talk about a song that would just piss a Prince fan off! 
Mariah Carey and Sisqo did a cover of "The Beautiful Ones" and beautiful it was NOT! It was soo terrible, and they even tried to sing it word-for-word. I was
embarassed for them. 
Sisqo and Mariah Carey

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 . 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
Remaking Prince songs should be made illegal! | |

There are so many to choose from... here's 2:
Age of Chance-"Kiss" (gotta hear it to believe it) Ice T-"Head" (he's got that friggin' lisp goin' on) If prince.org were to be made idiot proof, someone would just invent a better idiot. | |

No need, my friend! 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? don't need no reefer, don't need cocaine

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. **--••--**--••**--••--**--••**--••--**--••**--••-
