I Wish U Heaven vs Cream

Which song is better - musically, lyrically and emotionally?

Also, is there a link between the two songs?

IWUH all the way. Never been a fan of Cream, but even if I was, IWUH is a gem of a song, so it would still win out.

My name should give it away. It's my all-time favourite Prince song, because it's just so completely pure. It's a song that seems to have gotten 'from page to stage' with about 0% interference from any diluting forces. Pure bliss.

Like others, I really don't get the comparison between these two songs, though.

This.

I'd take IWUH as it, (so far) seems to be a pretty original idea whereas Cream is nothing but a very good T. Rex Get It On (Bang A Gong) rip-off. Really. Musically and lyrically. There's really no excuse and no disputing it, but it sure is fun to listen to.

"Cream" was a slightly glam rock tribute song almost (shout out to Marc Bolan/T. Rex) but "I Wish U Heaven" was majestic because not only of the gospel overtones in it but the fact this had three parts on it. lol

My personal favorite is "Take This Beat, aka I Wish U Heaven Pt. 3". lol nod

For obvious reasons of course...

I wish U heaven!!! smile

I have never understand the "Gem" seen in 'Cream'. I really don't think it is a fantastic song. It gets no where for me, unless LIVE. I like the LIVE version much better than on the CD. Or even the acoustic version, but as I said; it's nothing I really like that much. I don't know to describe it, but it just is not my thing.

BUT I wish U Heaven, I can talk about ALL day. Haha, The lyrics and the melody is so perfect. The arrangement and the video. It just is a work of genius! It just represents 'Lovesexy' Perfectly. It wins over CREAM any day for me. Even live, 'I Wish U Heaven' has more of a an edge over cream. Although he has not played that live in ages! Haha. NOW...Everybody say.. yes SAY yes SAY (yes)SAY yes Heaven!!!! HEAVEN YESSS! Haha

It's Button Therapy, Baby!

my first instinct is to say that I like "I Wish U Heaven" more, but then I realize that my opinion of it has diminished greatly over the years. still love the extended version, but the album version (or even Part 1 of the remix) doesn't really do much for me these days.

Cream is a little overplayed, but I probably still get more enjoyment out of it these days than I do the standard version of IWUH

Brilliant songs, both imo....

I Wish U Heaven is fantastic, and I am european >>> not american.

I believe it's an american thing to dislike Lovesexy, we europeans love this fine pop-funk masterpiece. IWUH is beautiful, the 12 inch is one of my fave and I love the album version a lot too.. worship heart

I disagree, I'm American and thought LoveSexy was completely brilliant. But I fucking HATE Cream.
