Song: Young and Beautiful
Album: One Nite Alone . . . Solo piano and voice by Prince
Year: 2002
They only want ur virginity
Keep ur clothes on and ur chastity
Until u find the one that's worth it baby
This is dad Prince at his finest. Though things quickly take a turn with the second verse:
U're so fine my heart's just pounding
If I had the chance 2 lay u down,
I'd probably take a rain check 'til next summer
Cuz I don't wanna b like all ur other lovers
Yuck. Just . . . yuck.
Verdict: 1/5 stars
Would I sing it at karaoke? Never.
Song: Ziggy Stardust - Live
Album: Live in Santa Monica '72
Year: 2008
A competent live version though it doesn't expand on the original studio version in any way. This can be a good thing . . . all live shows need a few numbers that don't try to dash your expectations. Within the context of the album the track works well to do just that.
Verdict: 4/5 stars
Would I sing it at karaoke? I already have!
Winner: Ziggy Stardust - Live
Running Score: Bowie 12, Prince 6
