To all those that have seen this video:

Another orger refuses to accept or believe that the woman playing the snare drum in the 'I Wish U Heaven' video is indeed Sheila E.

He says that woman is "too white" to be Sheila and absolutely contends that the woman is definitely NOT Sheila and that - if it is anybody - the woman is Susannah.

Though I know he is wrong, there are clearly people on this site much more knowledgable about all things Prince and Prince related than I, so I am hoping that maybe he will believe some of you.

So, is it Sheila or not?

it's not.

don't know who it is, but it's not sheila e.

It is Sheila. Sorry 'other Orger'

mrdespues said:

Quit being muleheaded!!

It's Sheila!!

Muleheaded?

Have you guys got this video ON TAPE in your collections?

Dig it out....that's a WHITE GIRL play the snare.

NOT SHEILA.

NOT MULEHEADED.

JUST NOT BLIND.

mrdespues said:

it IS Sheila, stop being so stubborn !

Prince and Cat and Boni and Sheila.

mrdespues said:

Well, she doesn't look any whiter than Prince does in that video, and we all know how white he is.

Actually, it's years since I've seen the video but I always thought it was Sheila E. too.

I am not being stubborn, guys....I have known and loved this video for many years and I doubt most of you even own it.

It is not Sheila.

I am aware that everyone looks like they are in degrees of whiteness in this clip, but you're missing my point....the girl has reddish brown hair and distinctly CAUCASIAN features which Sheila does not.

sorry if you think i'm being hardheaded...but i KNOW this video and I KNOW sheila and it AIN'T her.

It's clearly Sheila E.

NouveauDance said:

check the video.

it is clearly not, never was, never will be.

i can't believe so many of you are so wrong on this.

mrdespues said:

So who do you think it is then ?

AsylumUtopia said:

i am not sure, but it MIGHT be Susannah.

the only person i know for a fact who it is NOT is sheila E.

trust me. it ain't.

Stop being silly,it is Sheila E.

The video features Prince,Sheila,Cat and Boni.

nonononononononnonononnnono!

i BET you don't have the video!

do ya?

do ya?

WATCH IT then come back and tell me it's sheila e.

hahahahaha!

you'll see.

By 1988,Susannah was no longer in Prince's life and she certainly wasn't in his band.And besides,why would Prince hire somebody else to "imitate" Sheila E? She was his drummer at the time,and that's her in the video.

please close this stupid thread.

It's Shelia E

The video is so stylised that not only Shelia looks white in the video, so does Prince.

hmmm, you're usually a good authority, anthony.

have you watched the video recently?

maybe i better fetch it out just to be sure.

no, don't close this thread.

i'm still not convinced....this is not stupid, it's a fair and decent discussion.

dawntreader said:

UPTOWN magazine #23

Article - 2 night we video


page #23


"...features Prince, Cat SHEILA E and Boni Boyer....."

well shit, she looks hot in it eh!

never seen her look that good.

i was convinced it wasn't her until right at the end when she looks at the camera and you can finally see her eyes.

till then, she doesn't look ANYTHING like any other appearance of her i have seen.

to tell you the truth, i'm still not 100% convinced, but yeah...for now i'll say it's sheila until anyone can PROVE for me with some stats who was in that video.



sorry.



all in good fun i hope.

dnaplaya said:

and those are the stats i needed.

thanks, anthony.

my face is red, i stand corrected.
