LOL, that's what I thought too.
Thanks--now I can't get that stupid song out of my head! :)
I think they already did, didn't they? They gave him that Jessica Simpson hair-do.
Word on the street is Country tunes :)
LMAO!!!
For whatever that's worth to advance the conversation.
;)
He could probably rock it out! :0
Do they know this will be the routine before they try out?
Becky
Good one. LOL
... and "When Doves Cry" for Prince. ;o)
I don't know Becky. They may be given a "rule/policy" sheet when they try out. I wouldn't doubt though that AI has their butts covered well with tons of red tape and paperwork the contestants have to sign after each advancement in the contest.
Not to mention that FANTASIA won, or was it REUBEN?
Getting my years mixed up. Also, I think the Fantasia vote and LaToya vote was split.
I was outraged when Elton John cried racism.
Oh boy...... I have to admit I always did like LIttle Red Corvette and 1999. But him on AI would be bizarre, wrong and just scary. They don't have to sing his songs do they?
Another good one! :)
Don't forget Prince has written songs for other artists:
"Manic Monday" by The Bangles
"With this Tear" by Celine Dion
"U" by Paula Abdul!
"You're My Love" by Kenny Rogers
"Super Hero" by Earth Wind & Fire
"Five Women" by Joe Cocker
"Love 89" by Patti Labelle
"Love Song" by Madonna
"Eternity" by Sheena Easton
"Stand Back" by Stevie Nicks
See, I didn't know that. :) Always learn something new on FR.
Get the Hindu Love Gods version of the song. HLG's were made up of Warren Zevon, Mike Mills, Peter Buck and Bill Berry (last three of R.E.M. fame). They put out a cover album in 1990 of a bunch of bluesy/rock songs. Great stuff. Only way I can tolerate that song and it's a pretty good rendition.
Love him or hate him, Prince is pretty much a musical genius and a great artist. His range of music is really amazing.
