Printable I honestly do not see what is so great about Prince doing covers.
I mean, does he not have enough faith in his own tunes to throw a party or show? Even his version of "Crazy" by Gnarles, etc did not really impress me. It was almost as if he said to himself, "well, if I can't get a hit in, then let me use some one elses." just my thoughts though. Snare drum pound on the 2 & 4 | |

I think its just a case he wants to appeal to a younger / newer crowd ...people who may not have any Prince CD's except Purple Rain  or only no the words to big hits like The Beatles and Rolling Stones ...  Da, Da, Da....Emancipation....Free..don't think I ain't..! London 21 Nights...Clap your hands...you know the rest..
James Brown & Michael Jackson RIP, your music still lives with us! | |
