Tegan and Sara - When You Were Mine

Embarrassingly bad!!

Just makes you appreciate Cyndi Lauper's version so much more.

These girls aren't even good enough to be Cyndi's backup band. They probably have a strange, bizarre fan base or otherwise they couldn't make a living performing.

this sounds so shitty.... the original by prince is sooooo much better. there's actually no argument in the matter either. its based on musical fact. if you think otherwise ur obviously not a musician and know nothing of music technically. if you think otherwise and think ur a musician u should probably check yourself. hope this clears this matter up for everyone especially the people who commented before me.

i like eric hutchinsons best...then cyndi laupers.

Nah... Cyndi's then Prince.

I actually think that prince did it the best since they were the orriginal. Then Tegan and Sara and Then Cyndi Lauper.
Just listen to Tegan and Sara's recorded version and maybe you'll change your mind.

I like Prince as an artist better than Cyndi lauper actually, I just like her version of this song better. I don't believe that just because someone sang something first it is better than every other version that comes after it, it all depends on the actual music.

As for Tegan and Sara, to put it bluntly, they aren't even close to being in Prince's and Cyndi Lauper's league. It would be very difficult for them to perform a version of any song better than either of those two artists.

The only reason why you don't like it is becuase they have a totally different style of music than Cyndi Lauper or prince. I personally think that Cyndi Lauper didn't do better than prince. And I also think That for being 23 when they recorded this, and not being as popular as they are now, the did a really good job. I still think they did a good job!

Huh? Prince and Lauper are two completely different styles, Prince is Funk, and Lauper is Punk-Pop, so i don't discriminate on the basis of style. It's just that it's silly to compare these two amateurish kids to two industry legends. I get the sense that the ONLY reason you even say that Prince's version is better is because you have some belief that the first version must automatically be best, and if Prince had done the second version you would say that these girls did it better lol.

Its not because I think that because prince did it first that it makes it better. The reason why i like prince's version is becuase i like they style more than Cyndi Lauper's pr T&S's. And T&S aren't amateurish kids.

Was going to say hot babydykes, but their midtwenties now?
