Stacy Francis - Purple rain - X Factor USA 2011

[@oibrazil1033]

I swear to God Prince must have heard her performance of his biggest hit and truly believe he was very very proud of her, because this is by far THE BEST PERFORMANCE OF "PURPLE RAIN" in history... even his wasn't that good... She simply destroyed this song, period...!

[@bobi94sm1]

Yessss

[@gee9237]

Oi Brazil Woah woah woah...... You CAN NOT EVER top Prince!

[@prettythugstress]

great

[@crazyhydraful]

having only range doesnt mean its the greatest cover!! anyway i liked her version but i LOVED rendition of Chelsea Redfern on BGT

[@eddycrubio]

I'm sure Prince heard it since he WAS ALIVE in 2011 and could have easily checked this out. He didn't die until 2016. Are you trippin?

[@StacyFrancisTheSinger]

I want to thank everyone who commented on this video. I love you all so much. Thank you of making me feel special and fulfilling my purpose of moving people through my singing. xo God bless you all

Every time I hear Prince's "Purple Rain" I think of your soul-searing rendition here. It has stayed with me all these years. I'm so glad you actually read these comments. Please know you are so appreciated.

She should have been some soft rock / 80s rock to sing .. she would have killed that competition. Some Tina too.
