I love his version and have a hard time comparing it to the original, because he turned it into a ballad. His album is pretty good too and I hated NKOTB. Prince Rogers Nelson

I'm pretty sure the ballad idea was Jimmy and Terry's. **--••--**--••**--••--**--••**--••--**--••**--••-

I'm pretty sure the ballad idea was Jimmy and Terry's.  Most likely, but whoever did it did a great job. I like it a little better as a ballad because of the song's lyrics. The lyrics are too melancholy for the song to be upbeat, but that's just me.Prince Rogers Nelson

Crikey, how to turn a great song into something totally predictable, and boring!  | |

NKOTB were at the New Orleans Arena last night. We had to play a Wedding in one of the rooms in the Dome which is adjacent to the Arena.
There were lines and lines of 30 and 40 something ladies dressed in that era. After the Wedding walking to my Jeep I heard loud screaming from the ladies in the Dome while they sang "Please Don't Go Girl." I say New Edition and Debarge and The Jacksons (We know MJ may not want to do it.) Go out and tour. People still love the music and they could do well even during a so-called recession.

Being a fan of both of the men, I was nervous that JK would not do it justice. I'm happy he pulled through with what he did with it. | |

I really like JKs version, I think he has a nice dreamy voice | |

Not bad...I didn't like it when I heard it about 3-4 yrs ago...
On second listen, I think JK pulled it off...it's one of the best covers I've heard...Great that he put a slow vibe spin on it, a straight cover wouldn't have done it. 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. | |
