No competition IMO, Crimson and Clover rocks

I'm really like this version. In the first versem it sounds as if he was rushing the instrumental part without taking a full breath.

I haven't heard "The Morning After," I just have the hard copy...So I'll vote 4 "Crimson&Clover."

I actually like the Morning After quite a bit, but getting the physical cd today and listening to the entire thing C&C definitely fits the the flow of songs much better.

I like the Morning After a little bit better. It sort of reminds me of Damned if I Do.

I like The Morning After but prefer Crimson. Listening to The Morning After, I feel a vibe from Young & Beautiful in the vocal delivery.

Crimson and Clover is definetly my favorite so far! have you seen the Video, awesome.

Crimson & Clover over and over.

I really prefer The Morning After. It's in the same mold as Manic Monday and I don't think we get enough of that from Prince.

Crimson & Clover...for sure!!! But,The Morning After...just reminds me of the sweet '80s(Bangles Manic Monday...!!) like someone mentionned it.
Lotus Flow3r really rocks and deserves more airwaves!!!!

The Morning After is too weedy. C & C is cool.

Be prepared to eat those socks.

I'd be surprised if it evens hits the top 40 over here. Can't see any radio airplay for it happening any time soon, and if Simon Cowell decides it won't be number 1 over here, then it won't.....

This will creep up the charts ..... radio 1 will start it i bet ...they will play it and ask people to guess who's song...cause no one's expecting this from prince no one over here....

C&C no contest.

The Morning After lacks any punch to it. I dig the Revolution era twee-ness of it, but it's rather weak, it's a very modern-Prince take on his old stuff, a lot of stuff like Cinnamon Girl, The One U Wanna C and What Do U Want Me 2 Do suffer from a lot of the same problems whilst still being relatively pleasing.

After listening to the album playing with C&C after Boom, I've changed my mind. I actually prefer The Morning After at that point in the playlist, and I've now got C&C after Back To The Lotus as a kind of bonus track. It's a great ending track to the album, IMHO.

I was going to do it this way too.

IMO, Crimson & Clover is an amazing recording by Prince.He lets the guitar fly on this track & that's something i've wanted 4 years...He usually holds back on the guitar (there are some Xceptionz),in studio versions, while he lets us have it live. IMO, It is by far, a better fit 4 the Lotus Flow3r project. To me, The Morning After gives me that 'morning after' feeling, & that's NEVER good!! =P

It apppears that C&C is the hands down winner.

Has the song got any radio play in the US.

If it was a "hands down" winner then no one would have picked the other one, sorry.

I prefer C&C but he coulda just put both of them on there no problem.

Crimson and Clover.
