I don't think this rumor is true. I've heard that D'Angelo was gonna cover Adore for a long time, and it still hasn't happened.

As far as Prince's reaction. He liked D'Angelo's cover of She's Always in My Hair, and he invited D and ?uestlove to Paisley Park when he heard it.

When people say "he hates it when people cover his songs", I don't think that's true 100% of the time.

He hates bad covers of his songs.

He made comments about not liking Ginuwine's cover of When Doves Cry because it sucked.

Obviously, he love Alicia Keys' cover of How Come You Don't Call Me Anymore, though.

Yes because it's not enough room on there for the both of us.

Why he gotta cover "Adore" though?


I wanna hear D'Angelo do "Pop Life". Think about that one.

Do you REALLY need to hear him or anybody cover yet another classic Prince song...?
Why..?

Hey!

as unnecessary as a D'angelo remake of this is, it has to be better than the "remake" Prince did for Carmen Electra's album.

Why does he want to do a cover, i figure he had enough time, to record a few 100 originals

marzellus said:

Cha know? I had the same thought. He had enough time to write a song better than Adore.

I think he can pull this one off.

Didn't he already cover prince with How does it feel?

KidaDynamite said:

U nasty!

Are you whom prince made insatiable for?
I'm like a wildcat mama

phunkdaddy said:

Made it for? Pfft...Prince stole that from me. I didn't sweat it since I got my hot dick and bubble gum in return. Strawberry Bubblicious, delicious and nutricious!

will prince sue him?

NO HE will just have to admit deangeho's better

D'Angelo did a version of she's always in my hair? why?

Stymie said:

He's a fan. It was on the "Scream 2" movie soundtrack. I liked it ok.

But "Adore"? -- With a hip-hop beat and some spoken "seduction" mess in the middle?

Stymie said:

It's great. It's on the Scream 2 soundtrack.

Hmmmm... I've never read that...

Plus, Prince had to "OK" D'Angelo/Saadiq/?uestlove's work on "She's Always N' My Hair"...

He's probably "OKed" "Adore for them too...

I like the cover but what the fuck does "She's Always In My Hair" have to do with Scream 2?

I don't want to see motherfuckers getting stab to death to one of my favorite Prince b sides what the hell

"Adore" (featuring T.I...or Common?)


I'm pretty sure that EriC Leeds would be called for this one since his brother Alan is D'Angelo's manager/tour manager..


I don't know..

Prince hit some notes on the original that he does not try live...

"The Musicology Tour" was the best recent opportunity to perform "Adore" live..

He had the band for it..

Background Vocals: Candy, Chance, and Rhonda.

The Horns..

John might've been "too jumpy" for the beat, but I doubt it. Plus, Prince could have included the Linn Beat as a guide--like he did for "When Doves Cry" during the Tour.

Still, he chose "The Beautiful Ones", "Shh", and "Call My Name".

That told me that it was a diffcult song to pull-off live..even by its creator.

Yo D! I can help with The Linndrum programming!

I'm guessing it's a reference to the protagonist, Sidney. OTOH, it could be about Gail.
