Saw an interview with Prince and he's trying to be kind, but we all know Prince does not like Tom Jones cover of his Kiss ...

But which covers of his records does he like? and which ones does he not like?

Orgers you comments and help please?

I disagree. Prince does like Tom Jones covering "Kiss" it made all of my Granny's friends like Prince when then only loved Tom Jones in the first place.

c1999 - two dutch guys who are fams for sure got the chance to talk to him, they are nervous as hell and he schools them on a few things ..er..can tell you where to find it but..because the rest of the fams might end up not seeing it if it get pulled..it's not illegal in anyway..but look around you

Good question. I was wondering how much say he got in the Controversy album of covers, whether he got to approve them or not. There are a few shockers on there and I was wondering if he had approved or not! Personally I love Alica Keys doing How Come You Don't Call Me, the funked up remix.

I found it ooooo.

One cover Prince made a negative comment about was "Darlin' Nikki" by The Red Hot Chilli Peppers. Something about how artists need to write their own material instead of taking others or something along those lines....Prince and his spur of the moment hissy fits. I don't think he liked "When Doves Cry" by Genuwine or "Nothing Compares 2 U" by Sinead O' Connor either.

He loved TLC's version of "If I Was Ur Girlfriend" (he introduced them on the 1999 VMAs as his favorite group), "I Feel For U" by Chaka Khan, and "How Come U Don't Call Me Anymore?" by Alicia Keys. Don't know how he felt about Mariah Carey's cover of "The Beautiful Ones".

I hope he likes Mel'isa Morgan's version of "Do Me, Baby"...it's soo good.

I wonder if he's heard Jordan Knight's version of "I Could Never Take the Place of Ur Man"?

Who's to say what he really likes except for him and he says he doesn't listen to the radio....*cough* *cough* Bullshit *cough* *cough*

That's odd considering the genius of the song was that a man was singing it.

Personally, I think he just liked "No Scrubs" and wanted to give then a compliment. *Estelle pictures Prince jammin' out to "No Scrubs"*

i was under the impression that he doesn't like anyone covering his songs. and he added , " do you think i wanted tom jones to cover kiss" i think the conversation started with a mentiong of chaka khan and someone covering one of her songs.
