Opening Scream of Gett Off - Prince or Rosie???

I have posted on HQ before long time back but didnt get a real answer

Is it Prince, Rosie or Tony M?!!

Even though its only 2 seconds,I felt that it sounds like Rosie first and ends with Prince.
Of course I may be wrong cause logically, there should be only 1 person doing that short intro.

If u watch the MTV Gett Off Remix, Rosie is screaming it while sitting on the piano.That maybe MTV only but it sure looks like she could reach those 2 notes.

While the original Gett Off video, we have Prince screaming on the intro on the floor. Any insights?

Btw, Dreamer steals from Voodoo Child

Yes, it definitely is Prince doing the opening scream in that song.

It sounds like Prince... but apparently it's actually Rosie
(as confirmed by Rosie herself)

As if the video is the answer? How many times have we seen the "band" lip syncing to Prince's backing vocals? Uh uh. Thought so.

It's Prince regardless.

Hi Boris, please enlighten me... where can I find that?

I never doubted Boris. For those who dont know, he is 1 of the much more informative person around at HQ

I'm not sure where you can find that info online.

But this came up before, and I was convinced it was Prince. (In fact, I still
think his voice is mixed in on the "no" part of the "aaaaah-no" scream, as that
part really does sound more like Prince than Rosie IMO).

However, Rosie herself confirmed it was her scream, and at least 2 other
members of the NPG confirmed it too.

Just listened to it a few times. Sounds like Rosie to me. There appears to be no double-tracking where Prince's voice and Rosie's were combined. Straight-up Rosie. Whole lotta Rosie.

Plus... ya gotta trust Boris.

Sounds like Prince's voice sampled and played back in a little bit higher register. Definitely sounds electronic to me.

This is a direct quote from Rosie:

"I did the scream on Gett Off. No matter what Sdldawn thinks. Plus I played the solo on Purple rain"
