JONI'S "CASE OF YOU" OR PRINCES "CASE OF U"

It's Joni's for me, but if Prince had done the full length version who knows?

Any opinions?

Joni's... Prince's version is beautiful, but Joni's version is perfect.

No contest: Joni's

μηδὲν ὅλως σὺ λυποῦ
πρὸς ὀλίγον ἐστὶ τὸ ζῆν
τὸ τέλος ὁ χρόνος ἀπαιτεῖ.”

Joni's. But Prince's would have been better is he had done the full song. It just sounds weird starting where it does.

But actually - have u all heard Tori Amos's version??? It's fantastic.

01. Joni
02. Tori
03. Prince


Joni's version is too fine to ever be compared but Tori
gave it a lot of her own input without really changing
anything at the same time. Very well done. Her vocals
complement the lyrics beautifully.

I kind of like Prince's version but he should not have
done just 1 verse. It's weird. For someone who always
talks about covering songs and other people butchering
"your creation that was perfect to begin with" it sure
is strange that he does covers at all. Let alone do
them in this way. Still, it sounds nice, and I like the
funky ending.
and true love lives on lollipops and crisps
