Nobody should do a cover of "Purple Rain"... it isn't truly purple w/o Prince playing/singing it.
had 2 run away... pride was 2 strong. It started raining, baby, the birds were gone

hmph! No one should ever cover Purple Rain. It would be all types of wrong if anyone other than Prince sang it.

Yeah, let her cover it.

I'm sure she could do great air guitar for seven minutes or so.

not only should beyonce not cover the song but prince needs to stop adding gospel style backing vocals to the song (ala tamar and beyonce)...the song is great for its subtle yet prince keeps ruining it. i miss when prince believed in the power of subtly when it comes to backing vocals.

That Grammy duet to me was not good at all, she has vocals but no skill as a singer yet, her vocals just didnt sound right with this sound and lets not even talk about "Lets go Crazy", this is similar to last year when Christina Aguilera dueted with Elton John on Bennie and Jets, good LORD! Once again, strong vocal but no clue about singing.

I didn't like it either. It was just so unecessary confused (to me, but maybe necessary for him to get the attention of the youngins ill )

Ummmm, That would not be good at all. That would almost be as bad as Britney Spears covering "My Prerogative".
