TV commercial

I saw a tv commercial today for Verizon and Google with the only vocal of Nothing Compares to U sung by different people singing segments of the song. The people were supposedly every day people.

This commercial was aired during the Grammy's this year.

I wondered if it was going to come out. I only saw it during the Grammys.

I recorded the Grammys and selectively watched so I missed it. I've seen it twice already.

I thought from a tributary perspective that tv commercial was better than the Time and Bruno Mars tribute performance.

This has been posted, and yes they're "everyday people".

Sorry, it's the Hodgkin's talking.

Most people probably thought it was a commercial with a Sinead o'Connor Song. It was her version, yes Prince wrote it but did many none fans get the Prince connection.

If they paid attention, they'd see "tributes by you" and get curious.

I'm seeing that ad and those advertising the music streaming. I have to say it's all being done with great taste.

The subway ads in NYC are beautiful.
Welcome to "the org", laytonian… come bathe with me.
