Who does the best Prince cover?

Who does the best covers of Prince songs. My vote is for Jordan Knight doing ICNTTPOYM. HAHAHAHAHA kidding folks. I'm going with Elvis Costello's version of Pop Life. He performed it live.

NME

Foo Fighters - Darling Nikki

Soulwax - Pop Life.

in my opinion i don't want to hear a an artist trying to replicate the original. it's piontless. for me a cover should be STAMPED with individuality. if you haven't heard these...they are awsome in their own way.

:COOL: Sinead O' Conner "Nothing Compares 2 U" No matter what you think about her, she has a great voice. I think her version was better than Prince's. music

I just glad no one mentioned Alicia Keys. shake

My choice would be Sinead. Her rendition is better than Prince's. That is the only time you'll hear that from me.

I just heard in on VH1 the other day (One Hit Wonders) That song moves me. I almost cried, it's just sounds so lonely.

excuse me. bawl

I'm not a big fan of any of the studio covers I've heard, but I loved hearing Nikka Costa tearing up "Anotherloverholenyohead" at the 2001 Celebration.
