I love this song and "Gotta Be". The Romeo and Juliet albums were pretty good. What did ya'll think about the remake of "When Doves Cry" on the other disk?


I was just gonna mention that now that I thought about the movie. I like that version of "When Doves Cry", but it is, by no means, the original.


nod But, when I first heard it, I had a hard time comparing it to the original. This one doesn't have the infamous guitar riff in the beginning....in fact, did they even have much guitar in this one? Anyway, nothing beats the original, but it's better than some other remakes I've heard.

Yeah, I agree. It's not great, but a LOT better than most Prince re-makes. And I think I like the fact that it's different and not just trying to recreate the original.

"Whoops now" spelling edit.

I absolutely love that track! When I first heard it in the movie I thought it was sooo perfect. Prince music in church... it doesn't get much better than that. My first thought was "That's the kind of church I would go to!" I think it's cool because it reinvents the song. Best cover of a Prince song, imo.
