If anything, sounds more like Still Would Stand All Time to me. The vid came on last night & now I see what you guys are talking about w/ PR. It doesn't stand out so much b/c her version of the melody is so plinky & weak, but I do hear it (though I never would have come up w/ it on my own... mostly b/c I'm not giving that song the time of day...)... The guitar part too, especially at the end when it's fading out. I know what you mean though, her voice annoys me on this song so the only time I hear it when it comes on Sirius. | |

SCNDLS said: I'm not sure if there's another thread about this already but I just watched her new video, "Like You'll Never See Me Again," and I must say, it's official, I'm in love with Common, for real. I always appreciated him as an artist but LATELY that boy been lookin' kinda right!
 Even in the scene when the doctors are using the defibrilator (sp?) on him and there's blood and gore all over him, I was thinking, "Damn look at his chest! Ooh, look at his abs. He done got foine in the last couplea years." 
They are really milking the rumors that he's hittin' it even though her producer is her longtime boyfriend. But she kinda did the same thing with Usher a few years ago too. I did get vibes from them though watching Smokin' Aces. In the scene where he's carrying her down the stairs, he was sho nuf carressing her thigh. As for the song, I'm sure it's been dissected to death on here already, but I think it's alright, even tho it's a straight rip of Purple Rain. I think the video makes the song more powerful. Really moving video and I like the concept of going back in time.

 But yea, the boy is fine  Really??? She totally bites PR on this song. I read an article where she even talks using PR as the foundation of the song. I think it was in Us magazine when she was on the cover, back in December. It sounds like Prince but not Purple Rain. Diamonds and Pearls dammit!  | |

Also, yes, Common and A. Keys make a hot couple. It's more like D&P in style, but the melody is that one very particular part of PR's guitar solo. I don't know music terminology well enough but think about the 5 seconds immediately before he starts singing the whooo-hoooo-oo-oo-ooooo.  Somebody help me - the end of that bar? Is that what I'm trying to say? (I even looked this shit up & I'm still confused a bit)    I never met you, but I LOVE you & I will forever!! Thank you for being YOU - my little Princey, the best to EVER do it | |
