I love hearing Prince sing this song. I'm not crazy about the talking in the middle, but the rest of the song is absolutely beautiful. I love the last note that he carries....it gives me chills! | |

Bonnie Raitt. Some people think I'm kinda cute
But that don't compute when it comes 2 Y-O-U. | |

Prince can't make me love Bonnie Raitt and nobody can make me love this song.
(I'm not too crazy about the thread, even.) | |

Out of those two, Bonnie.
But George Michael's beats both of them, pants...I mean hands down. | |

I hate most Prince covers but I love this one. I like Bonnie's next then George. | |

It's Bonnie's American classic. It's hers all the way.
Prince's version is good but only for a minute or two. The way he changes the lyrics annoys the crap outta me. | |

Bonnie's version makes me cry. I can actually feel her pain.
Prince's version is more like, "I Can't Make U Sleep With Me" 
George... stop whining! 
Bonnie.  "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..." -Cher, "Woman's World" | |

 Bonnies version bores me ..
Princes version makes me feel a whole different story   | |

It's crap no matter who sings it.  We don’t mourn artists because we knew them. We mourn them because they helped us know ourselves. | |

Bonnie Raitt hands down no question about it.
Bonnies version is really the only version in my book, a timeless classic. | |

I really prefer The original by Bonnie. | |

Prince's Prince 4Ever.  | |

I love Bonnie's for it's elegant bluesy simplicity. Prince turned it into a sensual, sexy soul stirrer. I thought George's version was uninspiring, dull and sterile. | |

I like the Bonnie Raitt version best. I may not like the man.
I may not like his music after the mid 90s. I respect his current artistry...I just don't like him. No hate. | |

This is my favorite cover Prince has done (not counting "A Case of U" from ONA piano, since that's not a full cover). That said, I still prefer Bonnie's original quite a bit more. https://www.youtube.com/@PurpleKnightsPodcast | |

I love and appreciate both versions. The same with..."La La La...means I love U."  "The Lion Sleeps Tonight... | |

Bonnie.
Prince's is an abomination and I will never forgive him for it. | |
