If the rumour is true that Prince's new album has a track called "Natasha", I think we can safely assume it's not about Ms. Bedingfield...

I like LeAnn Rimes version better, but this is pretty good.

Why is it that everybody does Purple Rain better than Prince does?

Who?

We don’t mourn artists because we knew them. We mourn them because they helped us know ourselves.

I'm not particulary a big fan of Natasha Beddinfield but I do think that she can sing well enough.

But this performance makes me think she studied Patti Labelle's tribute cover...bloody terrible.

I've always said if you're not playing a guitar while performing Purple Rain you're only doing half a song.You need to be belting out a grand solo to give the song the entire emotion that Prince intended IMHO.

Fuck the funk - it's time to ditch the worn-out Vegas horns fills, pick up the geee-tar and finally ROCK THE MUTHA-FUCKER!! He hinted at this on Chaos, now it's time to step up and fully DELIVER!!
woot!

Judging from the snippet he sang during P's Lifetime Achievement Award at the BET Awards last year, he could. Quite well, in my opinion.

As for Natasha eek ..........so that's a no.

time flies.
