I hear a lyric change coming on if this is true..

"Do you want him
Or do you want pee
Cause I want you!
Baby, baby, baby
I want you"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I'll play it first and tell you what it is later.

I OBJECT TO ANY PRINCE COVERS PERIOD, ESPECIALLY BY THAT HOODRAT PANTY FREAK!!!! Now if he want to perform it live then wuteva, just don't release so that i have to hear it on the radio, see it on the tube and read about how many singles it sold. R Kelly need to stick to his Al Green and Bobby Womack rip offs! dead

I hope this isn't true. If so, I hope Prince blocks it from being released. Only because of his "alleged" behavior with minors.

R. Kelly is a great singer and a talented musician. No matter what anyones personal feeling towards him, he's got it. nod

You got it backwards. WB doesn't own the song....just Prince's original master recording.

But then I discovered an interesting legal fact: Once a song has been commercially released by an artist, that artist's song may be re-recorded and released by anyone who chooses to do so. This holds true, provided that the melody/lyric isn't substantially altered in the "cover" version, and that they pay proper fees/royalties directly to the song's copyright holder. (On the flip side, if you release a disc with cover songs on it, then try to obtain proper licensing after the fact, you're possibly subject to penalties/prosecution for copyright infringement!)

Found online under search. At work, and forgot the URL sorry

fuck warner bros. and fuck R. Kelly. RK always looks like he just stepped out of a fight;on the losing end of course. hammer
besides I thought Prince didn't even like R Kelly. Some rivalry bullshit.

That was Mariah and Dru Hill. I despised that version.

I hope this doesn't make the cut of his new album. I don't like his music at all and I know R.Kelly would just ruin by trying to 'ghetto' it up. It doesn't fit his MO/nasty persona at all. I wonder why he chose it. He must know there will be a backlash.
