I hate to say it, but I think Maxwell put a definitive stamp on the song.

Besides, I can't imagine Prince doing a cover of a song (any song) behind Maxwell. Not because he can't, but because it would be like "teacher trying to impress student"

I love maxwell's version simply because it had better production - nothing against the original but it's kinda like seeing the exorcist now opposed to when you were little it just doesn't have the same effect. sad

As for a Prince version - I don't think it would fit him he's not a remake type - Other people remake HIS stuff- to me it would just be too weird.

I love Max's version off Unplugged as this was the first time I heard the song...He performed with such emotion i was moved.

But I do really like Kate's version too...hell I just luv Kate.

I actually had tears in my eyes when I heard Maxwell's version but from laughter. Kate Bush's version is the only version as far as I'm concerned.

No disrespect to Kate but Maxwell owns this now. Just like Jimi owned Watchtower

Umm, actually, yeah. I prefer Sinead's version..much more emotion. Just as I prefer Chaka's version of "I Feel For You" :p

God. Just because it has more instruments and is louder - that makes it better? I can't think of a more emotionless performance in the history of pop music than Nothing Compares 2 U by Sinead O'Conner. Why do overseas folks confuse bland delivery and fake tears with emotion?

The same thing applies to bands like New Order.

Not you, Hull! Although, I'm still mystified about your preference for Maxwell over Kate. Maybe it's just an age thing. Give me subtlety over bombast anytime!

Everytime I hear the Maxwell version, I think about the 150+ miles from Pensecola, Florida to Tallahassee...We must have played that song over 50 times on that trip, that's why it won't play now. I love me some Maxwell; but "Fortunate" is still my favorite Maxwell song. I still can't believe that R. Kelly wrote and produced it. omfg

I thought it was great for Maxwell to cover it he sang the hell out of it...but I do prefer Kates because I heard her version first and, well, Kate Bush is a goddess. Lucky me I can enjoy both nana
