the video for THE ONE

God how i love that video!!

(the long version might i add)

anyone else??

feel free to discuss this video...

i'm surprised that Prince let Mayte direct this video...this video has got to be one of the most understandable short flim that Prince has done (maybe cuz Mayte directed it?)

Um...wasn't Prince dressed as a bum in "Come On", and not "The One"?

Probably my all time favorite video! And of all the video's Mayte is in, this one she is THE most beautiful!

Plus, it's the first time I can remember seeing Prince in flat shoes lol

We don’t mourn artists because we knew them. We mourn them because they helped us know ourselves.

DID you notice the black stills in the Chaplin intro???????

They contain some (7 or is it 9?) secret messages like:

"Jesus Loves You"

"Prince's Favourite Food Is Stewardesses"

something about "Nefertiti" (Spelled)

video stills were posted on housequake.com, unfortunately I did not save them.
