No, it wouldn't be nearly as good. One of the strengths of this cover version is its raw, gritty and imperfect nature. It's totally heartfelt, sincere, and 100% genuine. The studio version would likely be too polished, clean and so-called perfect. What I wish, instead, was that they would either somehow have already had this version serendipitously recorded, or that he would do another live version of it that would be recorded and released. Live is definitely the way to go, with Chris and this cover. Chris's biggest strength is his live performances. That's where he shines the most. And that's the mark of a truly great singer and musician.

Stapleton is a beast. This just shows utter respect for Prince. Prince wrote songs that made you think and feel and Chris sang it. I felt it in my bones

TX Livin' actually he wrote it for a group his Fiancé was in called The Family back in ‘84. He began performing it live after Sinead did the cover of it.

I had no idea he could sing THIS GOOD. I wasn't expecting this.

That's my man right there.. He killed it. All u can say is DAMN!!!!!

I definitely can appreciate the fact that Prince had and still have a positive effect on all genres of musicians...he touched many souls...kudos Chris for an outstanding tribute to one of the finest musicians ever to walk this earth..

Being that bass player has to be incredible. Listening to Stapleton absolutely belt songs like this every time they perfom!

Chris Stapleton could sing anything, anywhere, and he creates something golden. 💖💛

No. Sean o Conner. ( what eve a) Not prince. … pshhh

Prince would have love this sooo much. This dude sings from the heart

I sooo wish Prince had been able to hear/see this rendition when he was alive. I think he would have reeeeeally LOVED it. One of the best covers, ever. I honestly think this version is good enough that it can accurately be said to rival the first rendition done by Sinead O'Connor. And that is coming from someone who absolutely loves what Sinead did with this song. This cover is simply amazing. Bravisimo!!!

I'm sure he would've walked up on that stage and probably grabbed a guitar and set the place on fire more than it already was

Love this man. So full of soul. I just love to hear the life in his voice. Like a real artist, he brings music alive.

Prince would be rocking out to this version! So proud. Its amazing- gives me chills ❤️

I wonder if Prince would have expected such a wide array of musicians from all over the genresphere offering up, instant heartfelt tributes.

Was @ this show last Sat @ The Greek in Berkeley , Ca and I must say Chris Stapleton sang every song perfectly !! When he started performing this , many of us had tears coming down our faces ( including men ) ! RIP Prince !! Taken away way too soon !!

I have seen this video so many times and every time he sings those first notes, every time, my reaction is "fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck".

I want this on an album so bad

Prince would of loved this, Great job

This man have a SOULFUL COUNTRY voice he can sing and play the hell out that GUATIAR . YOU FELL HIS MUSIC. 🔥🔥🔥❤️❤️❤️

He just sang the shit out of that. Magic.

Lord have mercy, this man can sing!! A voice straight from up high! He could sing Mary had a little lamb and I would be mesmerized! Never been a fan of country music but ever since I heard Tennessee Whiskey I've been a fan of Chris Stapleton and his beautiful wife!! God bless you both!!

Oh wow, incredible performance Chris! Happy New Year... Darealdeal

No labels needed, just an amazingly talented singer/songwriter covering one of the best of all time. Music breaks down walls with love. Cam

Got here by The Voice's Jesse Larson, left here search Chis Stapleton. Where the hell have I been. Love everything he plays..#NEWFAN!!!

@@countesscountess4153 The first time I heard him I thought it was my lucky day, "Travis Tritt released a new album??!! Whoo hoo!!" Then I realized we had a brand new gem on our hands! To me, he sounds like early 90s Tritt. But, Chris Stapleton is amazing far beyond anyone I've ever heard before, he gives me goosebumps and makes me cry. Simply amazing.

Do yourself a favor and look up Stapleton with Justin Timberlake. You want be disappointed.

WOW! Thanks for the respect Chris. Our Dove is at peace tonight. RIP Prince♥

This man is awesome I have never been into country music but just hearing him brought me to tears his voice is the most sexiest voice I've ever heard

Magical. Prince deserves it, he was amazing and Stapleton does him honor.

OK, this man is freaking amazing!! What range he has!!! I'm sorry I'm only now discovering him. And he's not bad on the eyes either!

This man's talent knows no bounds. I find something new from Chris all the time that blows my mind. Re-establishes integrity in music.

I learned this song last year around the time Prince died and was reminded of it yesterday... for some reason it struck me that it's really a country song, or maybe just how close black gospel, older R&B, blues, and country all are to each other. Lo and behold, Chris Stapleton saw that too, last year!

Damn, that was bad ass!!!

Gained even more respect for Prince after seeing the amazing covers!

this is so incredible. i haven't watched this in a really long time. brings tears to my eyes

The greatness of those we have lost is sometimes recognized in those we find.

Profound!

I have recently found Chris Stapleton. He moves my soul. He must have known alot of hurt to perform like this. Im thankful to enjoy his music, as his music tightens my chest my heart flutters and i clutch my throat in the sheer beauty and tormet.

there was this time I walked into a random bar. Maybe 4, 5 people in there. After a while, I took out my cell and sent "Tennesse Whiskey" to the house jukebox, just so I could chill and enjoy my beer. This couple came out of nowhere (apparently, to me) and started slow-dancing, getting into the groove. I'm hard-pressed to find a moment in my life when I was happier than that to see that happen.

Normally I loathe those that record all throughout every show... but this is certainly a gem! Thank you!

ran across this when prince passed over to the other side. now i am a total chris fan. i hope he records this.

As someone who has been in bands for a long time, that bass player just learned that song as he played it. That makes this all the more special. My favorite thing when I see a band live is when they do unexpected (to them) performances and everybody just follows along. True talent.

I want to be able to play bass like that. I have a ways to go yet!

Alright ladies and gentlemen. Who’s going to help me sign a petition for Chris to record an official cover of this song?

I have no clue who Chris Stapleton is but this dude killed it!! Best tribute of this song that I've seen!
