I can't stand Prince and I really like this, but then I like Patti Smith.

This is a noble attempt to cover the Prince song with an original twist, but it sounds like she took too much Valium before she stepped in the studio... pure putrid buttmud and bad for the ears...

why would anyone listen to this crap. when you do a cover it's supposed to be better than the original or at least have a personal stamp that's interesting. pathetically bad effort.

WOW GREAT COVER, IMHO, of When Doves Cry - Patti Smith - Never liked the original much but this is gentle and sweet yet powerful - like Because the NIght, cool thanks for letting me know about this

 Yes! Well said. Why does this song have such a low rating? After doing a little research in the RP library it would appear that RP song raters don't have a great love for Patti Smith or Prince or this song. (although to be fair the original doesn't have a bad rating - 6.6) I do think this artist has a strong catalog and other songs may have rated higher. ....Who knows?  |

Fantastically bad bordering on camp-ish Leonard Nimoy recording territory

Well, you're entitled to your opinion as much as I am to mine. Never was a Prince fan, but do like BGT cover, but then again, I like pretty much anything from BGT anyway. |

One of those songs that you don't want to cover, almost impossible to do it justice. 2 from me.
