I Can't Make U Love Me

May be a silly question on this site, but here goes... :LOL:

Which of the 3 versions is your favourite?

Bonnie Raitt

George Michael

o(+>

I think this is one of the most beautiful songs ever written. I like all three, but if I had to pick one; I'd go with George Michael's rendition. Prince, being a close second. boxed Don't stone me to death... :LOL:
These are the only three versions I've heard feel free to add any other's you may be aware of. mr.green



Not sure if this was posted before...

George's does it 4 me - it's so emotionally fragile sounding.
It really gets me. WHAT a song.
Beautiful - period.

In order:

Bonnie
Prince
George

It REALLY bugs that George says PAT-tronize, rather than PAY-tronize.

As I once heard before, there's no such thing as 'American English', there's just English, and getting it wrong.

Is this the only language where this happens? You don't get Spanish, and American Spanish. "Hasta la Vista? In American Spanish we pronounce it Hesta le Veesta..."

It's spelled C-O-l-O-U-R dagnammit!

It really bugs me that P and Bonnie say Pay-tronize. As that part approached on my first listen to GM's version I was thinking "don't be silly now George" and I'm very happy there's at least one version I can listen to without laughing.
