I agree with U! eek
The first time I heard it, I thought, "Why do these lyrics sound familiar? What the? hmm"
I had to go put on the ONA version to clear my head... disbelief

"Love Hurts.
Your lies, they cut me.
Now your words don't mean a thing.
I don't give a damn if you ever loved me..."

ONA was no masterpiece. Not every Prince album is an "instant classic" or a "masterpiece". And the updated "U're Gonna C Me" is 100x better than the piano version. When he updated "The Dance" on 3121, it was 100x better than the NPG Music Club version.

I can't even listen to ONA. Makes my head hurt.

I definitely like the original better but I can appreciate this new one too. My aggravation is w/ "There will never b another like me". It just sounds like a bad crystal ball reject. well maybe that's a little harsh but still, the rest of the album is sooo much better. I'm loving the 2 cd's! Bria's isn't what I'd hoped it'd be.
