What genre of music would this song fall under?

Fade to black music video category

Auto-tuned womens choral.

Pop. AOR pop, at that. But Prince will snooze in the limo all the way to the bank, won’t he?

Meh. Sinead did it better.

Soft pop?

Give me metal. I need to listen to Lordi now.

Pop classical.

It’s reminding me of the young girl who became famous overnight quite a few years ago for about the same style… I can’t remember her name though, ugh!

Just to save myself from embarrassment:

This was a question my girlfriend asked me and I couldn’t really describe the genre myself. She was hoping to find other music like it, but was having a hard time classifying it so she could actually find something else like it.

I definitely prefer O’Connor’s version, though I can’t say I’ve heard Prince’s.

It almost sounds like new age. But I suppose it’s counted as a crossover of classical and pop. But that’s what new age is in many ways.

If not that, I’d call it clop. :)

@Shuttle128 – Prince wrote the song, and it was originally performed in the 80s by one of the groups he put together called The Family. I wish I could link it, but Prince protects his copyright online with a power grip.

@aprilsimnel yeah, The Family’s version is rare indeed-used to have that on cassette! Prince wrote it, The Family originally sang it, then Sinead O’ Connor, then Prince, then…zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Pop.
A total waste of such a glorious venue.

Nice video, I have no clue who they are. Sorry. If I were to put it in a playlist in my Ipod, I’d put it in soft pop. I guess. Really nice cover, though.

Not too sure where to place the genre but I do prefer the Sinead O’Conner version much more than this one, still quite nice…….. :-)
