If, like us, you were glued to this Saturday's X Factor (heatworld watched it three times this weekend – hello, repeats) you were no doubt in massive awe of Ruth Lorenzo's version of Purple Rain. Ruth found herself in the bottom two this week, and as her second song, she did her own rendition of Prince's famous song, which was, quite frankly, amazing. So amazing, that by yesterday, her version had had 100,000 hits on YouTube – and Prince's people took it down! Someone a bit jealous, are they? Luckily, it's back up now – so check it out while you can right here. Oh, and the official Prince version re-entered the top 50 yesterday, so really, we think Ruth's done him a favour, don't you?

However sorry YouTube have taken it down AGAIN!

Prince is annoying,I hate when celebrities get like that. Artists need to apperciate their fans and the people who made them successful in the first place.

xDramatick · 21-10-2008, 08:35 PM

I said in the other thread that it was because of that.

stupid really =|

I remember when I first realised that they had stopped people viewing it I was outraged! Its pathetic. Its like its HER fans and she is a fan of HIM! He should be happy that someone has decided to sing his rubbishy song in the first place. I hate prince!

Thank goodness we can still download it

Wildcat! · 21-10-2008, 08:41 PM

YOu lot are talking Rubbish!
If anyone takes it down, its ITV not Prince! If his song is sang on xfactor, the author have given permission for it to be performed, or else it would violates copyrights! That performance, is owned by ITV, Prince has nothing to do with it!
Prince has better things to do than hate on a talent show performer.Go watch him sing that during a super bowl holftime, and it started raining at the end of the performance! That was un be lievable!

rayheartbliss · 21-10-2008, 08:49 PM

Ruth should just release her version!
it was AMAZING!

plus it would annoy him!

what a loser!

It is Prince =|
If you search around you'll see. He's ordered his lawyers to get anything using his music or material removed.
He even made youtube take down his performance cover of Radiohead's 'Creep' and the song isn't even his!

Upload a song with Prince in it, put that in the title+description and it'll be taken down.
Why else do you think it's hard to find Prince music videos on youtube, and why nobody covers any of his songs?
If they do, they're removed.

It is prince. ITV have no problem with them going on youtube and its only Ruths that has came down. And its saying about how Sony Entertainment cannot let you view this as you dont have the rights. Its not ITV at all.

Wildcat! · 21-10-2008, 09:03 PM

Well if everyone says its true then, it must be!

Wildcat! · 21-10-2008, 09:09 PM

My favorite performance of all time!

Haha i thought that too but was like oh Annie dont say anything! hehe

Wildcat! · 21-10-2008, 09:26 PM

I picked the first one from Google!

I think it would be pretty easy for Prince "lawyers" to find it, if its the first thing that comes up!

I was glued to the X-Factor, but I hardly found Ruth's rendition of Prince's Purple Rain amazing by any measure of the imagination. When it came down to the vote, the judges chose to deadlock and it was down to the public vote. I'm sure if they found her performance to be that great, they would have voted her in themselves. Apparently they didn't.

I'm not surprised that the song had 100,000 hits on Youtube. The X-Factor is a very popular show and many people either go out on Saturday when it is aired and choose to watch the songs on Youtube.com rather than recording the program or many other reasons.

I don't believe for one second that Prince himself has chose to report and then have Youtube remove Ruth's rendition of his song from their site. Someone else could easily have managed that. If someone chooses to record the X-Factor or indeed any other program and then upload it to Youtube.com without prior permission, then you are infringing copyright laws. In which case, they may remove it from their website. That is standard procedure.

I hate Prince, his ego needs serious deflating. He's just a poor man's Micheal Jackson who's WAY past his heyday.

GO AWAY PRINCE YOU'RE NOT NEEDED OR RELEVANT ANYMORE!

He's a musical legend. Much more talented than anyone that is around today.

Annie · 21-10-2008, 10:25 PM

I aint a massive fan of Prince to be honest.

Ruth's maybe down but Prince's original is still available, as I mentioned here.

And as a result of The X Factor it's jumped back into the Top 50 from absolutely nowhere - not that The Artist Formerly Known as The Artist Formerly Known as Prince shows any gratitude. So don't pay to download the single and give in to his over zealous attitude.

Let's be fair though - anything Ruth sung against Girlband was going to look better - and it wasn't that great a performance and isn't that great a song.
