Specifically, which Prince-penned song is the best - Vanity 6's "G-Spot" or Apollonia 6's "Sex Shooter"?

I vote for Vanity 6's "G-Spot" ^^

And when they do, it's such a beautiful thing.

sex shooter

My vote for G Spot, but also the Prince version of it on all the boots. Jill Jones is fairly good too. Sex shooter is very poor except for the synth lines.

There is a passable Vanity version of it though, Apples could not sing and her vocals sound breathy and bimbo like.

Both are great songs imo..

G Spot

Sex Shooter may be the worst vocal performance on an R&B song EVER, by a woman...Appollonia was an awful singer...and not all that beautiful either....i always imagine how much better Purple Rain would have been with Vanity, instead of Kotero

I have always imagined that Side One of the planned Vanity 6 second album would contain these three songs: Sex Shooter Vibrator G-Spot

Three of my very favorite songs written for his protégées.

I cannot choose between G-Spot and the immortal Sex Shooter, I just can't.

G-Spot would make excellent orchestral music, a philarmonic orchestra would sound good playing that --- not that they should, but it would.

As for Vibrator, oh my!

(any couple managing to keep their clothes after hearing those three needs to see their MD pronto. Something would be wrong!)

Wow...pretty clueless.

The fact Vanity and Appolonia could barely sing was by design. What do you need? A disclaimer saying "Eh here's some great music that still sounds great when sung by people not hired for their vocal cords"?

In any case, Sex Shooter is a certified classic to this day.

The Revolution version of G-Spot. Otherwise, Sex Shooter.

I have always thought sex shooter should be sung by a male ... Otherwise the lyrics make no sense

This was very deliberate, in my opinion. This was at the tail end of the period when Prince was playing up the androgyny, and writing songs that played up the ambiguity on his sexuality. He did "Jack U Off" a couple years earlier, which used a term for masturbation usually reserved for a male...but directed it at a female. He's flipping the script here, using the idea of a "Sex Shooter", a term you'd usually associate with a male, but having a female deliver the line.

To answer the question posed by the thread: G-Spot. Jill Jones delivery is incredibly sexy, and the tune is classic Prince sex-funk!

I agree,Apollonia's vocals are awful on "Sex Shooter" Vanity was no great singer either,but she brought alot of attitude and style to these songs.Her demo of "Sex Shooter" sounds alot more genuine and convincing than the released version by A6.
