    That 4 non blondes song is one of the worst songs ever written.

    Better than Sinéad though, hence my vote ;)

    I agree - it's pretty awful. :(

    A lot of people reject this song purely on the basis that Sinead sang it. They fail to recognize the genius of Prince in both the lyrics and the melody. It's not my favourite song to be sung by Sinead but she does put in a genuinely emotional performance. Sometimes I get bored with this particular rendition, but I find it more interesting when I listen to the song itself as opposed to the arrangement.
