I am actively against music videos. They kill the listener's imagination.

LOL. See, this is one of the advantages of being old.

Back in the days of the dinosaur, we had no videos. When a song came out, it became attached to you either through what you imagined it to be about, how you imagined yourself in the singer's place, or what you were doing at the time you heard the song.

When MTV hit the scene, songs became associated with the video. Is there anyone that doesn't first think of zombies when they hear "Thriller"? Not that I didn't like the video for that, but I am kind of glad that for most of my favorite songs from my youth, the memory I attach to them is something personal instead of the artist's video interpretation.

All I can say about music videos is it's lucky Prince was way good lookin' back then. Not to take anything away from his music, but had he been fugly, he'd've had a tougher climb.

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

I think it's because someone like MJ had a real concept of his videos to make sense with the lyrics of the songs. There's videos out there now by other artists that don't make sense with the lyrics at all. It's just an excuse to be exotic and controversial (do what MJ, Madonna, Janet and Prince did in their "heydays" kind of thing).

And who knows if we'll even see this Prince video. This is a guy who, according to Kevin Smith, would record 100 videos and put all of them in storage never to be released. lol

But see that's why people are all on about imagery. Prince wanted to look "perfect". I think he kinda expected the music videos to take over so he was more prepared for it. That's why he's got a billion videos by now. lol

Actually, I think he's fascinated by film. And not a little narcissistic.

Thats cool if he does but what`s the point? We won`t be seeing on his non-existent website, it`ll eventually be pulled from youtube if it ever gets posted & I doubt Mtv or vh1 will ever air it. Bet has a slim chance of airing it but that seems to be it other than brief commercials to advertise his tour & album. I like the idea & the song choice for the video but I don`t see much point if hardly anyone is going to see it but that`s just me.

Is there anything "official" about that site ?

Most of the videos just don't play - because of my country perhaps - and - oh ! - they also announce videos for "Sticky like glue" and "Compassion" on the homepage...

...too beautiful to be true ?
