I was just curious, why hasn't anyone mentioned Prince leaving the Rio? I would have thought people would all over it...

wasn't always said to be for a few months?

thanks! ya they did. I guess I just cannot picture him doing stuff with Beatles material....Should be interseting though.

well if the beatles thing is true.. at least i will save $12 as i will NOT buy it...

Lol, agreed! Whe I picked up the news paper (I live out here in Vegas so we heard on the news he was leaving pretty quickly) I was stunned... I've never really cared for the Beatles. But I do hope he goes on tour! Now that would be sooo nice.

Yes you will.

well the Smithereens just released an album of Beatles covers.
i really dont think Prince is going to release an album of Beatles covers. i would bet an album of covers but not an entire album of one artists' covers.

I will download it.....listen to it and then consider....

Milty said:

am I the only one who finds Prince doing covers a bit embarassing? Especially on record???? Please name one good cover that he has put on a cd! I can only come up with one: I Can't Make U Love Me

I think he should stop doing covers.....

abierman said:

and I think I can't make you love me is REAL bad. IMO he didn't even understand what the song was about.

I kind of liked Purple House on the Hendrix tribute album.

WAIT WAIT WAIT!!! Is this official? Is he really leaving?

lovemachine said:

there you go, he should stay away from covers.....

i dont have a problem with the covers he does. if i was to compare them to the originals i'd prolly prefer the originals. but they arent bad or embarrasing to me.

and so what...he's done what like 5 covers ever on albums?

lets see:

I Can't Make You Love Me
One Of Us
La La La Means I Love You
Betcha By Golly Wow
A Case of U
When Will We Be Paid (my favourite cover he has done)

i'm sure there's one or two more.....someone help me.

I agree. The Beatles just don't do it for ME.

not mentioned because we all knew it was a publicity stunt prince playing in a small club once a week who bought that? PLEASE! He is a natural wanderer and explorer and most of all he is a fantastic business man and knows how to make money its is all tied to his self worth and ego. shokran

P could do a cover of the songs from "Emmit Otters Jugband Christmas" and I would buy it!

What's this Beatles thing all about? I looked through the threads and saw no mention of it.

I'm not much into covers, but love the Beatles

Rev said:

It is rumored that Prince's next CD will consist of Beatle cover songs and the title of the CD is "Revolution"

Yuck.
I love the Beatles, but no. It would be novel as a CD single.
