      No, it wouldn't be nearly as good. One of the strengths of this cover version is its raw, gritty and imperfect nature. It's totally heartfelt, sincere, and 100% genuine. The studio version would likely be too polished, clean and so-called perfect. What I wish, instead, was that they would either somehow have already had this version serendipitously recorded, or that he would do another live version of it that would be recorded and released. Live is definitely the way to go, with Chris and this cover. Chris's biggest strength is his live performances. That's where he shines the most. And that's the mark of a truly great singer and musician.

    The note he hits at 3:54 is just crazy. Chris can sound as raspy and soulful as anyone in history , then hit that crazy prince note at 3:54. There just aren’t supposed to be humans that can do this much musically. He is heaven sent. As someone in the comments sections already said, “game recognize game”. Couldn’t have said it better myself. One of the greatest artists ever born, being paid tribute to another one of the greatest artists ever born. I am so excited to see where Chris goes over the next 20 years. What a gift to music

    I see people don't realize that Chris has been around for a while he just wasn't recording he started as a song writer! This man has some serious accomplishments with that alone! Chris has an amazing voice and can pick a guitar with the best of em'! Love this cover, I like Chris Cornell's cover too but there's only 1 symbol, Prince!

    I learned this song last year around the time Prince died and was reminded of it yesterday... for some reason it struck me that it's really a country song, or maybe just how close black gospel, older R&B, blues, and country all are to each other. Lo and behold, Chris Stapleton saw that too, last year!

    Being that bass player has to be incredible. Listening to Stapleton absolutely belt songs like this every time they perfom!

    I hope the people who witnessed this know how lucky they are, I wish this made it onto an album and was a thing at every show, he killed it

    TIL i learned that a country blues rock dude pulling a Prince falsetto covering Sinead O' Connor is exactly what i needed in my life.
