Why do you think Prince picked such a crap version of 'Nothing Compares 2 U' as the official release? It's always bugged me that the 'Hits' version included Rosie's vocal missing the mic in the first verse. Why would Prince pick this version for formal release, without an overdub, rather than the verison he had been siniging live for 3 years, many of which were superior. The mistake is very obvious. . | |

First, he was very into his band at the time. I also think he wanted to get as far away from The Family and Sinead's versions as possible. Her version was so massive just 2 years before. He sorta had something to live up to at the time. If you have a problem with me, text me. If you don't have my number, you don't know me well enough to have a problem with me. | |

I like this version. Not the best but pretty damn good | |

I like it now more than previously But its not as good as sineads, its big, where it doesnt need to be so it sounds more like a typical big ballad, and that arrangement he brought back from the family version never sounded that great to me. His mid 80s warehouse version is the best one he did. | |

I've always loved this version and it's the one I always go to whenever I want to hear the song. I've never cared for Sinead's version though, nor The Family's. | |

i think he just wanted to reclaim the song, felt it should be on his career retrospective/greatest hits album as it is one of his best known songs by anyone, and thought the most recent version/arrangement was the best, so didnt think anything more about it. ive a feeling he never really gave the song much thought until sinead made it a hit, so it figures that after it blew up, he still didnt really see what was so special about it, which was reflected in the version he chose to release. | |

It may have this technical mistake, but I love this version. More than The Family´s and more than all versions I heard of him without Rosie. | |

Prince should've re-recorded a live version duet with Sinead O'connor. Now tht would'e been a serious dare! "The whole problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are always so certain of themselves. And wiser people so full of doubts" (Bertrand Russell 1872-1972) | |

He should have done a live performance on tv of him on piano and her singing. that would have been graceful and made him look good | |

I still get goosebumps when he calls for the solo and that horn comes in. | |

Absolutely. But dear Sinead... always against something, a swearing hurt soul, was the most furthest part in a spectrum of music, messag and humanity to fit-in in Prince's universum.

The original version, the one we got after Prince left us, that's the best version. Best by far, if you ask me. It's the most "Prince" version. Had that one come out first back then, no one could have touched it. | |
