Darren Hayes Covering I Wish U Heaven

Never knew about it before, but I just stumbled upon a video of Darren Hayes (Savage Garden) singing his version of IWUH. Thoughts?

The singing is ok, but bleh. It seems like it wants to start , sputters, over and over again. Very tiresome.

It's okay. It's not bad-just okay. It seems like a demo. A finised version could be great.

The original "I Wish U Heaven" sounds like an over-glorified demo anyway...

This is okay, c'mon...

Tried many flavours - but sooner or later, always go back to the Purple Kool-aid!

IWUH by Darren H.... haha...... wth is that... lol

^^ I disagree with DreZone.

Nothing beats the fantastic original song made by Prince,

And those 7 and 12 inch singles and the 1988 music videos by Prince...

just wow. heart

Lovesexy!

- is one of my all time fave, excellent.... wink

PR or KISS excluded, many Prince songs like this one are a bit difficult to cover, I can't honestly explain why but I believe what I post. It seems to fit HIS falsetto style only, if sung in another style, it would just be repellant.

On his 2007 tour he sampled the drum beat of 'When Doves Cry' and covered 'Baby I'm A Star' but had to remove them from his DVD because Prince objected apparantly.

One of his all-time favourite albums is 'Sign 'O' The Times' ...he's a massive Prince fan. Elisa Fiorillo was his backing singer when he was in Savage Garden too.

This is almost good but just ends up being lifeless.

Usually like Darren's voice but his vocal gymnastics on this one grate confused on my ears - unlistenable
