The funniest and most ingenious comments on RP are for TBGT. Come on now, they're original, different and don't sound like anyone else. Originality is all-good. Carry on TBGT. I'm a fan. |

very interesting vocal this song sounds good. standalone. without any connection to Prince version: same lyric, similar music but ABSOLUTELY different spirit. easy 8  PS: how come PR brings cover diamonds? like next song for example Johnny Cash - One :) |

Maybe I just don't get it.. but this sounds like anybody remaking the song.
This remake is just not that good.

But this cover is not. It's like a perfectly grilled steak covered in... chocolate sauce. Just not a good combo. :( |

Great comment!  Not much of a track, but at least it gives everyone something to get thoroughly stuck in to and makes for good reading... Happy Christmas, y'all |

I swear she sounds like Shakira.
I listen to a lot of Shakira (yes, I'm willing to admit that) and she does not sound anything like Shakira. |

I try not to make negative posts but this song just begs for it. It's one of the lowest rated songs I've ever seen on RP and it sucks. Why is it on the playlist? BillG loves his covers! But he and Rebecca are great enough to let us listeners say what we think is crap, so they have my accolades. |

I'm thinking this isn't the best idea the Tanyas have had.
Or someone lost a drinking bet.

I love a few of their songs. . . .
This is certainly not one of them.
Actually, this is one of the least annoying songs Prince does. Talented people.
Horrid music.
But done with talent.

You've got hand it to Prince to write a song with a title this amazingly cheesy, yet the song is pretty cool. That's hard to pull off.
