Yes it’s a great song but he massacres it, turning it into an overblown jumble of egotistical noise.

This is just Prince & Co showing off, totally out of tune with the meaning of his own song.

I live near Paisley Park & grew up in this era. I was blessed to be able to go to many Paisley Park Shows. He get word out & locals would show up. Such a cool experience. Youd see him living in Chanhassen being a normal guy riding his bike around shopping walking etc. People let him be & live his life. He did do much for the town & state, but he always did it anonymously.

honestly, Prince giving some of his best songs to particular artists is one of the most beautiful things ever. Sinead O'Connor singing this was one of the great moments in music history.

Trying to stand up for children who were being sexually abused in the church, being true to herself by for example shaving her head when the "industry" wanted her more feminine, finding peace in Isalam, even though I believe she believed in the Holy Spirit too. I was sad to hear about her son passing last year; and can't help wonder if her death may have been at her own hand. I guess time will tell. Such a strong soul; yet broken on the inside too. Her mom died when she was only 18, and even though her mom abused her according to Sinead, it seems she missed her mom terribly; and this song Nothing Compares to 2 U" was directed to her mom when she sang it. She sang it with amazinging passion that I could feel her rare, pure emotions. I hope she is smiling and finding amazing love with her son,, mom, and all her relatives that passed on before her.

Not only did Prince write songs, but he played most instruments and produced music. His hands-on approach gave creative power back to artists. By taking full control over the direction of his work, Prince was able to shape the sounds that still influence countless musicians to this very day. Prince's multifaceted talent on numerous instruments was crucial to his musical legacy. He created a unique sound that blended funk, rock, pop, and R&B elements, and his virtuosic playing was a key part of that sound. 0:07 [Indie Band Guru; Olimpus Music]

I just read some comments, all sweet and positive. I got really emotional because I used to meet people like you at Prince concerts. There was always this positive vibe I never felt anywhere else. Thank you for letting me feel this again, being part of a big family! Thank you brothers and sisters! I wish I would meet some of you again one day. Nothing compares to you!

I've always said, after seeing him live, that is the tallest 5'2 I've ever seen! His stage persona was larger than life. How lucky to have been alive during his time!

That Sax was Right on Time,for Me❤ Thanks All John Barnett ❤

The only version of this song, and true original RIP Prince

The only concert I ever attended was a Prince concert in Greenville, SC back in 1982 and I was right down front screaming and hollering like I had lost my mind. Even today, I can't watch a Prince video without shedding tears because he was a BRILLIANT ARTIST! Owned his own masters when artists couldn't even do that. I just pray that he didn't suffer when he died. I do believe the angels came and got him from that elevator. Long live his music and I will forever love Prince!

Rosie Gaines is a wonderful singer 🙏

I’ll never forget the first time I saw Prince, he was opening for the Stones and he showed up in a purple frock coat and frilly Victorian ascot style shirt and his boots w heels. No body was ready for him in 1981 in Anaheim we were there for JGeils and The Stones. So people started throwing stuff at him. (Rowdy festival crowd) I can’t even remember what he played at that point but he was way ahead of his time that’s for sure!

His vocal inflections in this version are just straight up ridiculously gorgeous.

Such a generous genius. He found talent and he let it fly in his music. It wasn't about ego it was about love.

Yeah. That's the thing, Prince until this day is one of the most beloved artist by the artists community and such an inspiration to the artists. He always believed if he could shine, the other artists or musicians could shine too. Rosie+Prince was a great duo singing. Also, is incredible how he believes in the women's music talent.

Here’s another fact in a 1994 or 95 interview I think it was in Q magazine Prince was very competitive about his guitar playing and competitively said things about Eric Clapton that suggested Prince was also a guitar hero. I forget exactly what it was but it stood out to me because I was like whoa at the time but if you want to do research what prince said it’s very interesting kind of true.

His songs were made for live performances. I think, for him, studio work was necessary for album and radio play but he wrote and lived for live performances. The only artist I can think of whose live versions are consistently superior to studio versions.

It was a joke but was based on facts. Prince and Charlie Murphy had a good game of pick-up basketball. Prince never changed into shorts but wore his stage attire and completely destroyed Charlie's team with help from his crew. At the end he was magnanimous in his victory and was the best host; pancakes all around. RIP Prince Rogers Nelson and Charlie Murphy. The game still continues; Computer Blue.

So sweet when he blew a kiss to someone in the audience he knew. He looked so happy to see the person he had an almost imperceptible bobble getting back on stage. Seems to me Prince loved his female and male friends so much. I bet he was really grateful for them which accounts for their near unanimous praise and loyalty to him. I don’t know, but he strikes me as an amazing friend who had a unique, special relationship with each of them.
