In the UK Latoya is known as a contestant on a reality program, yes we know she is Michaels sister, but covering a Prince song, Well I think she did fantastic,I'm just sorry she and the rest of the Jackson performers are not promoted enough in the UK, I love Michael & have so much respect for his families talent.
if I tell you that she fucked up this song completely.. are you gonna tell me to fuck off to? this is attrocious.. if i were prince i would have sued her
This goes well beyond being just awful. It only confirms what I already new this Bitch can't sing. She has the Jackson name and none of the talent. This mess leaves me sick to my stomach and bleeding from the ears.
To add to all the things Prince can do musically, He has got to be one of the most versatile and clever song writers of the 20th century.When you can wax poeticly about oral sex, incest, as well as the cold war, poverty, freedom etc. You are a great song writer!
I know this was not a hit. But other people recorded Prince B sides and deep cuts and had hits. When your throw aways can and are hits for other people, you are one bad mutha!!
LaToya's voice sounds better in this song because its more soft and feminine, the other version has a great voice, but she is singing too slowly and the instrumental is mediocre compared to this one, which is why this video has more views.
I just Love it! Latoya puts her own spin on it but, leaves it alone enough for me to feel it's one of my fave Latoya songs. Prince's version will always hold a special place in my heart for Peggy and Rocky. -jzebraa 2011
a few years ago my mom (Princes #1 biggest fan) told me about how she ruined this song...i never thought to look it uo til now since im watching Weird Science and i heard in the background on one of the scenes. i thought maybe it was Latoya so i paused it to look it up and FUCK NO its not her im hearing in the movie! its that Cheyne girl i hear...Why did she have to fuck this song up though?? she cant freakin sing!
All these MEN riding the prince jock. Gotta love that. Unwanted house guests imo.. Okay, now post your personal versions of this song.. You vs La Toya. I ain't complainin' just sayin.
funny, how she had the balls to fuck this song up.....everybody thought Mike was the "crazy one"??...NOT!....you're listening to the crazy one, right here, tryin to sing this song.
The actual story was at the time Prince became a megastar with Purple Rain, Prince's publishing company was shopping around his songs to R&B singers to get his older music out there again. They approached LaToya and she picked "Private Joy". She (as well as the record label) wanted this released as one of the singles, but old "Papa Joe" absolutely refused, so it ended up only coming out in Japan. Personally, Cheyne's cover from the Weird Science soundtrack, which was out as a single, is better.
@RocStarr913 Thanks for this info. Now I know why Stephanie did, "How Come You Don't Call Me", Chaka did, "I Feel For You", LaToya did "Private Joy" and Cyndi Lauper did, "When You Were Mine", among other singers.
This version flatout sucks. Prince probably only let LaToya record it because he wanted to tap it...maybe he did.
