What unreleased Prince songs would you match up with a current artist who could make the song a hit?

I know there are those here who believe anything Prince puts out would be a hit. I don't believe this because its not about just talent which Prince has. Hits are based on the music, lyrics, timing, artist image etc. Mainly someone young has a better chance of having a hit than someone in their 50's. Lets not fool ourselves.

Prince has some potential hits in his vault, but he is no a spring chicken. But he is and always will be still cool and talented.

I and I am sure others believe unreleased songs like moonbeam levels could definately be a popular song to this day under the right situation. For example having someone like Lady Gaga sing it.

Pretty much anybody doing possessed or I Wonder or If I had a Harem

But I have thought a lot about Lenny or Beck doing Prince's vault.

To nightgod: is Jamie Lidells 'I wanna be your telephone' not the catchiest song ever?!

Totally agree, i was thinking the same thing, or any of the current dance-pop divas really.I dont know if Brit could pull off the vocals though, those sound like kinda difficult and pincecentric vocals for anyone on that track.
