D & P are way overrated and the Twins are way overHATED on this site. i don't recall seeing D & P ever doing anything that resembled "classically trained dancing."


Just because they didn't perform classical moves in the videos with Prince, a classically well-trained dancer is very obvious, even when doing more modern or hip-hop dancing. All I'm saying is that it was obvious to me that they were very trained, controlled and precise in their movement (I'm a former dancer so I can appreciate that skill).

I'm not saying the twins aren't trained but the way they dance is sooooo spastic and imprecise that it makes me nervous just to watch them. I don't love them or hate them but to me they are an annoying distraction when dancing next Prince cuz their movement is so jarring and I've seen them live and up close 6 times in Vegas. However, in the videos with D&P they were smoother and blended more with what Prince was doing at the time. They didn't take too much attention away from him but then I never saw them live and it could be vastly different.

Also, the fact that Diamond is choreagraphing shows on Broadway indicates that she was classically trained and Pearl also speaks of her training on her site. Just making a point. . .


nod You've made some very valid points in your post that I agree with.
RIP, mom. I will forever miss and love you.

Here is Pearl's official website: http://www.robialamorte.com/

Couldn't find an official webpage for Diamond.

I think Diamond and Pearl were great for Prince when they were them. And I think the Twins give something to Prince now that he needs. You know, people come into our lives at times when we need them, for whatever reason. So as long as Prince feels he needs them there, they will be there.

nod "Oh, so you want some of hers but not mine, oh I see." That's my favorite part of the long video. lol Also, watch the Gett Off Housestyle video, they were jamming and having a good time.

"Diamond and Pearl", but that's because they fit in with that album soo well. Plus, I thought that they meshed well with Prince. I wouldn't even put the Twinz above Prince's solo dancing ladies, ie Cat and Mayte. They just don't fit into anything that he does. I just think they are rather pointless. I didn't even notice them at first, and then they started having all those body spasms that they insist on calling dancing. Plus, they flip their hair a little too much for me. I HATE EXCESSIVE AMOUNTS OF HAIR FLIPPING!!!! pissed

Me too. The Twinz annoy the hell out of me, to be honest. Don't like them at all. I liked Diamond and Pearl much better.

That's the twins other foot, her shoe looks like a boot on one side but is open on the other. That's kinda cute, I still wanna bitchfight though.

The Twinz = better dancers

D&P = better characters in the music videos

Tough call! But then again, I'll vote Mayte over all of them anyday.

nod I was just watching the D&P video and I was thinking the same thing. Diamond looked just like Cindy C and they were both obviously classically trained dancers that could jam too. Boy I miss them, but like so many of Prince's women, Pearl is a born again Christian. I wonder how they look now? Here's Pearl page on Wikipedia. http://en.wikipedia.org/w...ia_LaMorte It says that Prince was looking for identical twins back then. Well, I guess his fetish is now satisfied. rolleyes hmm
Look at what I found on Diamond: http://www.realpagessites...page3.html
[Edited 3/4/07 6:21am]

you mean they werent really sisters????? omg
But they looked so much alike!!!!!
doh! Im so stupid - all these years thinking they were sisters.....




You're not stupid. and you aren't alone. I thought that for a while, not very long but a while. but then I watched the Diamonds & Pearls DVD and you can tell in the videos they stared in. (Gett Off, Cream, Diamonds & Pearls, and Strollin) Don't sweat it.


I don't really pay attention to The Twinz. I suppose Diamond & Pearl.
but back then, I probably would have choose Pearl all her own. For some reason I liked her better? Not sure why though. hmmm
