  • hey, prince just doens't like giving his music out for free.

  • I just listened to this cover on the other site. I prefer this version.

  • ???

  • what an amazing video..ur air guitar solo rocks..boo earns!!! vry poor indeed

  • I am sure it sux,very few can do a cover of this song,and do it justice,especially the vocals.

  • You gotta be kiddin' me? They removed the audio for this When Doves Cry cover too?

  • Hmm.. it's pretty weird how they don't have the thing about "Audio has been disabled" on this. Personally, i think you're just lying to get people to look at your website.

  • hes just scared that someone will come along and do it better..

    he wont live forever. =]

  • He should be grateful someone wants to still listen to the old stuff. I mean, it's from 20 plus years ago...agh!

  • Really, there is no point in posting prince videos...im surprised he doesnt remove the videos entirely. ha.

  • WTF no sound why the hell is prince doing this even damn covers for it...like what the hell i just wanna hear the damn song i dont care by who just wanna hear it

  • wow prince has nothing better to do then surf youtube to find people singing his song he can suck a big fat one ps. i can download ur music for free still

  • If they removed the sound to all the Coldplay, Madonna, Britney, Kanye, Miley Cyrus and everyone else who totally and completely sucks videos they`d be doing the public a huge service. But not Prince!! Why why why???

  • I don't give a shit why Prince is doing it. It is retarded to take the sound from someone else doing it. Obviously these people aren't remaking the song for money. It's mostly because they like the song and just want to sing the damn thing. Prince quit being a douche.

  • why the fuck is this happening??!! Every fuckin song... I just wanna listen to when doves cry you bastards!! Im so confused... even all the gad damn remakes are fucked! I hate this...

  • y in all prince songs their is no sounds?

  • because some people are worried about copyright laws.

  • I could only imagine how exceptional this cover would be if there was sound!!!

  • S**T! No F**king Sound! I'm pissed.

  • Look, before you go and judge Prince for his actions, understand why he withholds his music from youtube. The record company is the real one to blame they are the ones that reap the benefits of the songs being played not Prince that's why he changed his name to a symbol so he could go on and do his thing as an artist without control from the record company. He is making the ultimate statement, GENIUS!!!

  • im sick of seeing big name artists/bands thinking that there music belongs to them. in my opinion if your lucky enough to be a person/band who's music is widely known and very well liked then you must acknowledge the fact that your music has become a personal part of the lives of the people who listen to it and buy your albums and that makes the music not yours anymore. at this point the music takes on a life of its own and belongs to the world.

  • he is a schmuck

  • dammit!!!!!!!!!!!!! you assholes! fuck all of you! How ironic is this shit! EVERY fuckin when doves cry video has no SOUND! WTF!!!!

  • its muted!

  • prince does need to understand that his loyal fans would still like to have the priviage to see and hear him yes we do buy his albums see his concerts but his loyal fans would never hurt him what do ya say???

  • i hate prints hoo the hell he think he is hee thinking is so there ha ha ha his nat as hole .

  • Prince is nothing but a hypocrite. He constantly covers songs and yet he doesn't want others to cover his songs. Boycott anything with his name on it! His fans need to take a stand to show him that he's nothing without them.

  • It's not greed or money. It's just a choice. U all misunderstand Prince.

  • Prince is a stupid cunt.. doesnt he already have enough money to not have to worry about this? Maybe its a life he lacks...

  • rofl..sound?

  • I think Prince had muted all his songs on YouTube... that's paranoid, ain't it?

  • ahh, lol hehe ty.

  • it's not paranoid at all it's exactly what he (actually his lawyers, at Prince's request) did do.

    Prince is going to win no favor with the public by doing this. It's stupid. REAL music pirates are out there and he wastes his time by insulting those who are his FANS!!!

    i will not purchase his new album.

  • Yup. Maybe he's just like his father : too bold. And Doves won't cry at his funeral!

  • LMFAO

  • The point that Prince is trying to make is ridiculous.He seems to have forgoten that if it wasn't for word-of-mouth and firends lending music to other friends (=sharing),very few people would have listened to his earlier work,when he was a nobody in the music industry.I bet he would have begged people to listen to his first 2-3albums back then.So,sharing is OK when you're a nobody,but a crime if you're already a household name? I'm still a big fan,cuz you're the same genius as before,but wake up

  • And here's another point:when i started listening to Prince's music in the early eighties,guess what,I was living in a country and at a time when I COULDN'T BUY ANY OF HIS LP's (Romania, Communist regime).And there were and are others just like me.These people are his fan base too,and the first opportunity they have,they are going to pay a ticket to one of his concerts(I did,it was 400 pounds !!).I could have BOUGHT all his original LP's with that sum,and then donate the rest to JehovasW.Dig?

  • it's because universal media is making everyone with this song in their vids, mute it or delete it, because of "copyright." i had this song in one of my vids, and they took it down today.

  • Why the hell are they doing this? Where is the harm in these videos? What do they think people are going to go, "Gee, I don't need to buy Purple Rain now, because I heard an inferior cover on YouTube"? (Let's face it, not one of the countless covers that have been done even comes close to the original.)

  • NBC/Universal just killed one of my videos, too. It was a two-minute excerpt from Saturday Night Live. What the hell was the harm in it? What, are they afraid people are going to go, "Gee, I don't need to watch SNL now, I already saw a two-minute clip on YouTube"? If anything, little clips like that serve as effective advertisements for the program.

    Universal has some seriously overzealous copyright enforcement personnel, and it's doing them more harm than good.

  • yep. it's pure bs. prince whined about his fans using his music on their videos.

  • Why? What is his problem? How do these videos in any way cause him any harm?

    Of course, I've been wondering about the guy's mental health ever since he changed his name to an unpronounceable symbol. There probably isn't any rational reason to be doing this. He's just nuts.

  • not sure why he does.

  • As far as I know, he's the only major musical artist on the planet who thinks this is a good idea. That should tell him something.

  • It's because of Prince specifically, he would sue you for sneezing on him. Legend has it that he's threatened fans with legal action for having his likeness tattooed. I'm almost certainly in copyright violation for writing this.

  • no sound wtf, you suck

  • If you really want to see this video go to some other video sharing sites that start with V and search for it...Prince doesn't f*ck around with his music. Lesson learned.
