How do you feel about Prince duets Is it just me or do you also get annoyed when someone else sings with Prince. Except for background vocals from Lisa / Jill Jones which I think complemented Prince's voice perfectly, I don't really enjoy a lot of Prince duets. What's your opinion on this? Life Matters | |

to be honest I am not a fan either - I prefer Nothing Compares 2 U when only HE sings it - but that is just my own thoughts. Thank you Prince for every note you left behind 💜 | |

. I thought "Beautiful, Loved, And Blessed" was fantastic. Best duet in his catalogue. . [img:$uid]http://pbs.twimg.com/media/Cgx4xJXVEAMnG7G.jpg[/img:$uid] | |

Funny that you mentioned this, My Mom keeps asking me about a particular duet he has with someone that she heard. I've listed every duet I can think of and she claims it's not the one she heard. I have no clue what song she's talking about From now on, 4 U I shall be wild 💜 | |

Funny you said that, shortly after I wrote my post, I remembered this one and felt that it should have been an exclusion... I don't really want to name any names, as I appreciate and respect most singers who have collaborated with Prince, in their own work, but it's basically just the fact that I enjoy hearing Prince so much it feels like the additional voices are taking away the precious Prince's vocals time on the track. And this even more so since he has passed. I hope it makes sense. Life Matters | |

Yes, this. And maybe your mum was confused with another artist and it wasn't Prince at all. [Edited 6/10/16 16:21pm] Life Matters | |

No. He was always better on his own.

When you're struggling to think of any, they must not have been very good. | |

I agree. Prince only. Not a fan of duets. | |

Not a big fan of duets, but U Got The Look, U Make My Sun Shine & Love Song are nice imo. | |

Duets. hmmmm I really can't think of any
outside of what was already mentioned: Arms of Orion, U Got the Look...
Is 1999 a duet of sorts. If so that was perfect -Prince Dez Lisa Jill
was Love Sign (with Nona Gaye) a duet?
Didn't he do a lot of duets on the Rave Un2 the Joy Fantastic cd?
4 me the louder the background vocals the less I liked. I love Rosie Gaines solo music, I didn't like her background vocals with Prince.
the 80s had the best background vocals. And were perfect mirrors or shadows of his vocals.

Glad to see you've all written 'What If' out of your memories. RIP ![]() | |

I was actually including all the unofficial releases, the songs in which he featured in other artists' music, and the live performances as well, so there are quite a few. I really try to like them, but I can't. And yes, I agree with you about the 80's background vocals (they were the best!) and even though I absolutely love most of what Prince has done afterwards, deep down, I still miss the revolution era.

I feel fantastic about his duets. "You always get the dream that you deserve, from what you value the most" -Prince 2013 | |

I think i only liked U Got the Look with Sheena. But like you love Prince to sing on his songs. Add loved the contributions with Wendy & Lisa , Jill Jones, Rosie etc. As anyone mentioned Take Me With U with Apollonia i love that song , i know not many people dig it. And i adore Love Bizarre with Shelia. So i think that is 3 duets i love.

Oh ok. My mind cannot grasp all the live stuff lol my coffee hasn't kicked in.
Oh and Take Me With U is beautiful. I've always loved that one. Which in a way is Prince Apollonia (w/Lisa & Jill)
AH Erotic City (w/Sheila E) another great duet.
Love 2 the 9s. I love the song before Tony & Rosie do there part.

Don't forget that other duet with Sheila: Scarlet Pussy. And Rosie does an excellent job on I Will. | |
