Whatever happened to that video....

Do you remember awhile back when NPGMC members were asked to send-in their headshots for an "upcoming" Prince video? I think they were specifically asking for guys... but the point is, whatever happened with it?

Did anyone hear actually send-in a pic?

Prince was probabbly just trying to find out who some of the people in his music club were. LOL. It's amazing how people just drop and do what he asks, remember a few years ago when he wanted everyone to send him their maxi singles? LOL.

tons of guys sent him the pics....but it is just like him to drop a project or idea without letting anyone know.....i'm sure it was completed and put in the vault or some wierd crap like that

I was thinking the exact same thing today! I'm guessing the whole thing had to be scrapped. I wouldn't be surprised if we never hear anything of it. sad

Original request for pics of the guys, June 2005:

Hello NPGMC

Prince is currently filming a new video. One of the scenes features a
young female character browsing an online dating service. We thought
it would be fun 2 use actual male NPGMC member photos on the screen
while she's browsing. We're calling on all the guys in the NPGMC 2
submit their picture and profile 4 possible use on the screen of this
fictitious matchamaking site in the video. Fellas, This is ur chance
2 get ur picture in a Prince video seen by millions!

2 submit an entry, emale info@npgonlineltd.com a small .JPG headshot
of urself and a basic profile with ur name, age, location, hobbies,
what u like 2 do 4 fun, favorite hotspots, etc. NOTE: PROFILE DOES
NOT HAVE 2 B ACCURATE! U can make up the in4mation if u choose 2. U
can even make up the name on the profile. The only thing we ask is
that the photo is definitely a picture of u and u have all rights 2
it. Do NOT submit photos of anyone besides ur self. If ur entry is
chosen u will be asked 2 prove it is ur photo. Also, keep it tasteful
if u want 2 get picked.

Sorry, ladies, this is 4 guys only. All men submitting an entry must
be at least 21 years old. And u must be an NPGMC member. Include ur
member name and real name with all entries so we can verify ur
membership (only what u write in ur profile will be used).

DISCLAIMER: All photos sent 2 the NPGMC become the property of the
NPGMC. By sending a photo 2 the NPGMC, u r giving us full permission
2 use the photo as we c fit 4 this project. All photos and in4mation
will be kept private and not given 2 any third party company or
reused 4 any additional projects. In4mation submitted in the profile
may be modified slightly 2 fit the 4mat of what's needed 4 the video.

We will review all the entries and choose up 4 that will be used in
the final video. Please send ur info, photo and profile 2
info@npgonlineltd.com. All entries must be received by June 14th.

C u soon!

Love4oneanother,
NPG Music Club


I found that here: http://www.housequake.com...adid=44729

A little later there was a similar request for pics from the female fans, for basically the same reason.

Then in January 2006, after fans asked what happened to the video, PP6 posted this:


3121 is a large project that will encompass many music videos. The piece that involved a pretend dating service that had a few member pics in it has not been released yet and there is no set schedule. Let's be clear, this is not a video that features member pics in it. This is a video with that has some brief shots of an online dating service and we thought it would be fun 2 include real member shots in the dating profile list on the screen. It's something just 4 fun. And when it's ready 2 b released, we will let u know.

http://www.housequake.com...adid=57657

PP6's message implies the video was made, but it's never been released. shrug

I would imagine it was to go with the video for Love but perhaps P had a change of heart (pardon the pun!), or perhaps a video was made but was put in the vault.
