sweething

I happen to like the tune and I would guess much of the song's success has also to do with the lyrics on this one.

The poppy funkyness my friend wink and it's mighty catchy. Do u prefer the original version of it? The bluesy one?

Yes, at 19, I finally saw the Revolution, a legendary band. And I talked to Wendy!!! biggrin In addition to seeing Prince, I have now lived life. Thank you Purple People!!

ive only heard two versions, the original version from the album and the extended... which isnt much different, far as i remember. only gave it one listen a while back.

and i know its funky but, just, the way it sounds bothers me. its not the funkiness that i dont like, its the sound of the instruments. and.. lol its really hard to explain. the way he sings "you dont have to be beautiful" like "you dont. have. to be. beau. ti. ful." combined with the higher voice bothers me lol and his voice doesnt bother me in any other song.

Oh wow confused

well i guess just skip the whole song altogether then since it's dealing with his voice tone & even the instrumentation. 1st time I heard of anyone not liking "Kiss"

yeah, i usually do. its basically the only song by him that ive skipped over halfway through because i couldnt listen anymore o_O

most of his not so spectacular songs can just fade into the background and be... background music lol but this one sticks out, and its hard to even ignore like that.

and i knew id be the only one.. lol

^ to be a Prince fan and not like KISS, his "ultimate trademark" song.

I love KISS, WHEN DOVES CRY, RASPBERRY BERET, LITTLE RED CORVETTE....

they'll never bore me. Those BIG hit songs defines Prince, what he is all about imo.

about tastes... if you don't like KISS, I wonder which Prince songs are your faves....?

You just might be!! Although ive only just been able to listen to Kiss again after Altiyan Childs tried to sing it on the Aussie version of the X Factor show!!! My god he failed miserably & I really went off it for a while but im back onto it again now so it's all good!!!!!

Prince once tried 2 change his name 2 a symbol so that ur'e mother couldn't find him in the phonebook!

Too bad you don't like it at all. Try giving it some time and let it grow to you, that works with Prince songs quite often. If not, well, you don't have to like it, but I'm afraid you'll be missing out a lot. I think it's a brilliant song and it's one of my all-time favorites. smile

You mean you're gonna actually hear what we play tonight? You're not gonna make up the notes in your mind?

Love the studio track

Have never dug it live until 10/24/09. The new version he's doing is pretty good.

It's alright but it's not one of his better jams. It starts out good and then goes downhill. The song is saved by the video.

Speaking of that video....the chick got some serious camel toe goin' on. Jus sayin. ole girl must not have shaved or something.

I'M NOT SAYING YOU'RE UGLY. YOU JUST HAVE BAD LUCK WHEN IT COMES TO MIRRORS AND SUNLIGHT!

Then you ain't gonna like this...

Gwyneth Paltrow to Sing Prince’s ‘Kiss’ on Glee

Gwyneth Paltrow to Sing Prince’s ‘Kiss’ on Glee

Gwyneth Paltrow returns to Glee on March 8. Her character, Holly Holiday, will be subbing in for the sex-ed teacher, and while we were sort of hoping she and Mr. Schuester would be singing Enrique Iglesias's "Tonight I'm Fucking You" (cue obligatory "Tonight I'm Forgetting You" joke), instead they will be performing Prince's "Kiss." This despite the fact that Julia Roberts has already produced the definitive cover version of the song. Oh well, there's always second best.

Well thank God I don't watch this program, never have and now i know this, never ever will lol

Nothing could be more horrid and embarrassing than Tom Jones doing Kiss. And not only did Tom Jones act like it was his song he had a top 5 hit, with it getting much more higher in the charts than Prince's orignal masterpiece ever did. disbelief

Actually it was one of Prince's few number ones in the US.

You should hear any live version of Kiss from 1987 to 1991, if you haven't. They're awesome.

Yes, honestly you are the ONLY person that I know that doesn't like that song, fan or no fan. Everyone I know loves that song even if they don't like P.

Prince is GORGEOUS. I'm inspired. GOD is GREAT. Is there anything else to say? lol
