I Can't Make U Love Me

The other morning my clock radio came on which was halfway through the song when I sleepily thought, hey..... That's a Prince song! I was all ears.

Only thing is it was not Prince singing it. It sounded like Shania Twain, but I don't listen to country music.

I have no idea who was singing that song. Her name was not announced at the end as I thought it might be.

Does anyone know or have an idea who sang his song "I Can't Make U Love Me"???

Well, since Prince did a cover of this song, which means it's not HIS song, and there have been other people doing it as well... But it probably was the original you heard, which means Bonnie Raitt.

Yeah should be Bonnie Raitt, it's her song. I got three versions of the song, Prince, Bonnie and George Michael. I kinda like all three versions but that's 'cuz I like this particular song so much I guess.

Funnily enough me and kat have just slow danced to this song, it was followed by George Michaels version.

2 completely different artists singing it in their falsetto. An amazing song!
