Sang, bae. You are all right w/ me, Eric. You are the best. Never forget that. I love yo' falsetto. Most brothas haven't mastered it like you have. It just flows naturally. Great performance.
Did Prince write that song because of Manuela & his relationship troubles? Ironic if that's true. Nonetheless, Eric has one of the strongest vocals out there, definitely better that the current male R&B vocals I hear. He'd be a good judge on the Voice.
This song was recorded way before Manuela was in the picture. It came out as a B-side single in 1983 if I'm not mistaking. I was 19 at the time and the biggest Prince fan until this day!
Wait a minute. Wasn't Eric's wife married to Prince? Manuela Testolini,I believe is her name. I heard that she was pregnant with Eric's child while she was still married to Prince. Is it true? Btw,he's singing the hell out of that song too! 😂😂😂😂😂😂💀💀
@@skygazer6898 I'm NOT a ding bat and please don't disrespect me ! You say you don't believe in coincidences but it was one hell of a coincidence that Vanity died on the anniversary of Prince's mom's death ,and then he died just 2 months after Vanity and they both were 57. You can't really dispute that.
Maeline Valerio Yeah, he got no talent of his own and so he has to try and impersonate someone like Prince of all people and then goes home and shags the missue who was once married to Prince............something so creepy about all this......
You married Prince's ex wife, you are living off of Prince's alimony via Manuela and Prince's divorce settlement. GOT DAMN! Just put on the Purple Rain outfit and be a full time Prince tribute act. This version sucks.
Raka Bash Oh yes, you are one of the only ones on the board , sees it for what it is...........this is one creepy performance by an even creepier individual.. play acting to be Prince on stage, then going home to give Prince's ex wife one...........LOL u couldnt make it...Prince would be turning in his grave
Prince then touched a lot of people's life through his music. Great job Mr B. Rip PRINCE 💜🌹💜 You are truly miss.
Eric that was perfect!!!!!!! He is so talented beyond measure!!!!! Voice is still on point!
Nice rendition dude. You're the best. May he rest in peace.
I'm very sensitive about covering my Prince but he did that💙
This is why I love Eric!!! OMG!!! He's killing it...
Ardelia Jackson.. Yeah, he was killing it, killing it stone dead.
Sang, bae. You are all right w/ me, Eric. You are the best. Never forget that. I love yo' falsetto. Most brothas haven't mastered it like you have. It just flows naturally. Great performance.
He is one if the few tjat can touch Prince! Eric holds his own!
This was a great tribute!💜
Eric Benet SLAYED this in Sacramento! Prince would have been proud! I haven't heard a rendition as good as Mr. Benet did! He set the bar VERY high!
TramonTraywickChoreo YOu dont know Prince then? He would have hated this shite
Skygazer Always a hater!
I'm impressed, Sir. Chapeau, Mr. Benet!
Eric!!!!🙂

That was so dope

DAMN!!!! Is there anybody that this cat cant cover?? My main man Eric is the truth!!! I wish he would do a Donny Hathaway song one day.
Are you kidding me?? Unbelievable choice in music...
Dope cover
D The Chemist ..... probably the most talented vocal next to princed
As good as prince vocally...and married to his fine ex wife
What"s so good about these 2. He"s a cheater, and she"s a gold digger. And their using a legend to help their careers.
+b g Amen. Fortunately, Prince is in heaven not thinking about them at all while he stays on their minds on craptastic earth.
if them 2 would have collabed bruh!!!!!!
I got hit song for you written back in the day for Prince 🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸 Ace Boston

this is good. better than bilal. but stokley get down from mint.
HE MARRIED PRINCE WIFE, NOW HE WANTS TO MESS UP PRINCE SONG.
vevo maxx although he didnt
He"s over doing it........It"s to over the top. I think he"s trying to out shine Prince"s version. Way over done !!!
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
vevo maxx Eric can sing his a$$ off....he didn't mess anything up.
vevo maxx And mess it up, he did.............who does this idiot think he is........lol
Nice but he can not seem to get the same emotion as Prince.
NO. oh God no
The audacity ... stole Prince's wife from him and now you think you can sing his song better than him. Be careful with trying to walk in his shoes.
No one can steal anybody from anybody.
Hello
Sloppy seconds
Tania Thomas. I agree. this is fucking creepy............go listen to the GENIUS PRINCE...not this creepy bastard
Why are they singing??? I ONLY want to hear Eric! The crowd RUINED this performance...
You married Prince's ex wife, you are living off of Prince's alimony via Manuela and Prince's divorce settlement. GOT DAMN! Just put on the Purple Rain outfit and be a full time Prince tribute act. This version sucks.

Put some RESPEK on Eric Benet's name. He has been singing his own songs since the early 90s. Just a cover. One musician appreciating another one.
He s wants to be prince so bad he even pushed up on princes wife I think he's behind the divorce
No. Do your research.
