Customer Reviews:

A Slap In The Face For Prince.......2001-05-03

I am a Prince fan and I found this cd very insulting. When I see a band do covers I like them to add some originality to the song so it doesn't just sound like karaoke.But in this case the only good songs are the karaoke songs. The artists variations on Prince's songs are painful to listen to. The joke that Ice-T calls "Head" can only be described as a car crash with an angry pimp.It should not have happened. Rebecca Romijn Stamos' version of "Darling Nikki" is sexy,when you think about it,but when you hear it... Rebecca is so Tone Deaf and sedated sounding when she sings that she makes Fiona Apple sound like a caffine addict with perfect pitch!This is going to sound sexist but Rebecca Romijn Stamos is one woman who should be seen and NOT heard! If you are a Prince fan you should buy this album,unless you want to respect yourself in the morning.

Come, not as bad as everybody says.......2000-03-04

I thought this was a fun album! I mean 3rd rate actors and GARY NUMAN make this album a gas to listen to. And the remakes are not THAT BAD. True, Prince sings them better...but what did you expect? By the way this is not WARNER BROS. as some other person said...it's put out by CLEOPATRA who has people like DEAD OR ALIVE, HEAVEN 17, and MISSING PERSONS doing these songs. And of course they sound 80s...most of the tracks were recorded in the 80s or by 80s bands. So get over yourself, and succumb to the joys of a trashy remake of a Prince song into dancey New Wave. It's fun! Definitely a party album!

a bad bad joke.......2000-01-14

prince deserves better than this.if you want a true tribute get D'angelo,Maxwell&T boz and keep buddy miles.getting has-beens&3rd tier actors is a bad bad joke.this must be warner brothers doing.no wonder why prince got out of dodge? who else's music will be trashed next? you know it's the Puffy Era.

Waste of Money.......1999-12-29

Gary Numan doing a Prince song? You do the math-- and I like Gary Numan.There is little here that does justice to the originals. A complete waste of your money. Seriously.

Don't insult the Prince.......1999-12-08

True Prince fans will find this CD as an insult to The Artist Formally Known as Prince. If you are going to do a tribute make it worth while. While most of the songs sound like 80's retro techno..only two songs save this CD. Adeva does a funky dance remake of 1999 and Rebecca Romin Stamos does a great (lesbian) version of Darling Nikki. The rest of the songs are truly a waste of time. There is no heart and soul in cuts like I Would Die For You, Pop Life, or Controversy. I do give a hand to Buddy Miles for his take on Baby I'm a Star. 3 out of 13 selections does not provide a real positive tribute. Next time get some real artist that can sing to real music.
