I was just listening to his demo for Chaka's "Never Be Another Fool" and it was a little weird to hear Prince sing the line "I'll never open my legs again for a man who's insecure." Chilling!

I know what you mean

Yea, kinda makes me go :O

Chilling? Really?

I mean, I wouldn't read too much into that particular lyric obviously, but Prince has probably had homosexual experiences. A large percentage of men who identify as straight have, and considering the way he has played with his sexual identity in the past, it just wouldn't be surprising.

And: so what?

!!!

What would u give to have been able to see the expression on his face as he recorded this track...

It dosn"t matter what you read into it. He is still going to be great no matter what his sexual preferences are. As if any of us will ever get to fuck him anyway?

I bet Natasha would bargain with the Devil & promise him another's soul... or 2.. 2 c just that

Honestly i think Prince having had the guts 2 sing that line makes his version better than Chaka's period

Good Lord people, it's a demo. The song is intended for a woman...

LOL - It's a good job some of you have never heard the Nasty Girl demo.

the large % that myself and many other gay men have 'encountered'

tackam said:

I'm not reading into it. It's just weird to hear Prince say it that's all. But thank you for the education on homosexuals I didn't know.

How about when Luther Vandross did a cover of Killing Me Softly but never changed the "He's" to "She's"... lol

Tom said:

Luther is the biggest queen of the them all, he's fab.

Tom said:

LOL

MiaBocca said:

Yeah,it would be interesting to hear Prince's versions of the Vanity 6 songs...

"That's right I can't control it,I need seven inches or more"

Tom said:

Or when Janet Jackson covered Rod Stewart's "Tonight's The Night" but never changed the line "I love you girl" to "I love you boy".

Good lawd. Here we go again.

How about Apollonia singing "Sex Shooter" I mean really, who's shooting whom and with what "gun"??

NuPwrSoul said:

And don't forget The Time singing "Get It Up" (something that a woman would usually tell a MAN to do),and Prince singing "Jack U Off" (something that a woman would presumably do to a man)...lol...this is all so silly!

Prince is a great, creative songwriter, and as such, it seems to me he would naturally write lyrics from the male and female perspectives.
I don't see what the big deal is. Commend him for his abilities to tap into this inspiration.
I'd like to know how many other male songwriters do this or would be willing to do it fearlessly?

Tom said:

I'm glad he didn't feel pressured to change it, that's great
