Both classics but Sinead is just impeccable.

 

[Funky]

Love Sinead etc but I’m more tuned in to the Prince version these days sorry. Plus I’d argue that if any song was bigger and better than that in 1990 it was Vogue.

 

[Inner Smile]

03 and 04 are better than these two, but I do like the Sinead song. Never liked Vogue much, she has so much better
