Let me start this off by saying I'm a Prince fan...I'm a HUGE Prince fan!! I love Christian a lot. He's a great actor and singer, but I would run him over with a truck in a New York second to see Prince!!

OMIGOD I LOVE THIS.

I've seen Prince play this, and yeah, well, there's no topping it. But still.

This pleases me greatly.

(and I also like his Tracy Chapman cover quite a bit, which was funny, because she's one of those artists who nail it perfectly the first time, and I *might* just be a little bit obsessive about her. To the point where hearing one of my other favorite singers (David Usher) falsetto all over it made me want to break things. (Though the fact he had Snow singing backup did lend a certain comedic flair that the original had been, er, missing?) (Yeah. Snow. You know? Informer? That Canadian rapper dude from back in the day? No? Then consider yourself lucky).

Bad covers break my heart, but good ones make me bounce around the kitchen in my underwear. And this is one of the latter.

*puts pants back on*

I absolutely love "Give Me One Reason" I just...gaaaah...love that song so much. What's excellent is that Wendy Melvoin who used to play with Prince is in that video!! *Squeee*

And uh yea I do remember Snow. Thanks for that. Of course I had to go to Youtube to see if they had the video...and they did!!! LMAO!

Bad covers are heartbreaking...dancin in your underwear is cool!

Now I gotta find "Gimme One Reason"...and why aren't you writing??! You gotta get Eliot outta jail! ;)

Tonight, unfortunately, is a dreaded homework night- I'm going to be up until the ass crack of dawn. Tomorrow after class, though, it's on like something that is very much on!
