The best covers of Prince songs I am putting together a compilation and was wondering what some of the better cover versions of Prince songs are... currently my favourites are:
Foo Fighters - Darling Nikki K's Choice - ICNTTPOYM TLC - If I Was Your Girlfriend What others do you recommend? (I'm looking for studio-quality recordings...) | |

I Feel for U - Chaka
Nothing Compares 2 U - Sinead I actually prefer these to Prince's versions. :O | |

I've reversed the polarity of the neutron flow... Now to find a way to exterminate Melody Cool and Rosie Gaines...

Stina Nordenstam - Purple Rain (she gives the song a totally different direction that makes it a new one)
Misty Dixon - The Beautiful Ones (how beautiful indeed) Jan Gazarra - Pop Life (much more electro than the original and therefore very interesting) Chaka - I feel for you (an all time classic-cover) -----------------------------------------

I know this sounds unlikely, but the winner of Australian Idol, Guy Sebastian, does a great cover of "When Doves Cry". [This message was edited Wed Nov 19 14:42:10 PST 2003 by madkat] | |

Someday I will touch it because it calls me. It says cross the line, cross the line. I know everything is not always what it seems, so I pinch myself daily just in case it's a dream | |

I liked Cyndi Lauper's cover of "When You Were Mine" "A Watcher scoffs at gravity!" | |

"How Come U Don't Call Me Anymore" - Alicia Keys. I like her version A LOT, but his is still the best of course!! | |

D'Angelo 'She's Always in My Hair'
Bilal 'How Come U Don't Call Me Anymore' Foo Fighters 'Darling Nikki' | |

Stephanie Mills could SMOKE Alicia & Bilal in a row with her version.
I love Mel'isa Morgan's version of Do Me Baby, It woulda been the bomb if the production were tighter(mo' organic like the original version). And of course my girl's versions of all of Prince's covers-"I Feel 4 U" and the songs in the Come 2 My House album. | |

Some techno group did their version of Annie Christian on a Prince tribute album. I forgot their name though. NEW WAVE FOREVER: SLAVE TO THE WAVE FROM THE CRADLE TO THE GRAVE. | |

I did an A Capella version of GOD late last night. You can hear it at my mp3 link below. Now maybe I'll be able to get this song out of my head.. [This message was edited Sat Nov 22 15:15:48 PST 2003 by marcdeondotcom] | |

The Foo Fighters "Darling Nikki" is pretty damn cool too. | |

A new Belgian artist did a live version of 'Forever in my life'. At first, I was a bit scared that he would fuck up the song. (it's one of my favorites). I must say, it's pretty good, but still no Prince.
If your interested in hearing the song, give me a sign. the artist's name is "Stijn", and he's a fan of Prince. | |
