I was listening to the radio and I heard a song by Lisa Lisa and Cult Jam and my first thought was:

I wonder why PRINCE didn't hook up with Lisa Lisa or did he?


Well, I was just wondering. She seems like his type -- long, black, bushy hair and olive skin. And plus, she kind of has that Vanity look.

he definatly didnt

His TYPE? She was Too BIG in Every Way for PRINCE...Ugh!!!

I agree with that, she was and I guess still is a chubby lil thang.

this maybe kinda off the subject.. but you just made me remember the days growing up in
Queens, New York.. i was walking thru the hall of my highschool and someone stopped me and we talkings..he says to me "i was out last night and this group called lisa lisa .. played they were hot shes hot " well anyway you catch my drift ..(i hope) i just remember sometimes how i was a part of that era remembering when i first heard that name or music or even first say breakdancing...

amazing how time flies and how things you didn't think twice about become so big..or you know..neat feeling that is.

Ha, my sister said the same thing.



I knooooow!

When I hear Lisa Lisa on the radio I become so daydream-y and I think about how I would dance to Lisa Lisa and Cult Jam and to Prince in my room. What fun!!

Zelaira said:

EXACTLY what I was thinking.

Still love the music, though!

madartista said:

Exactly. He does not like women who is kinda like a .

Of topic, I can't help but think back to the 80's when she came out. i remeber wearing the similiar hairstyle(shaved off on one side) of Lisa and Salt and Pepper.

Yeah, I remember Salt and Pepper's hairstyle. Ha. I remember wanting to wear my hair like Lisa Lisa, but I didn't have enough hair (sob, sob).

She would shatter Prince.

Hotlegs said:

I used to think Lisa Lisa was hot. Maybe it was her enormous breasts. As an adolescent boy, I was very susceptible to them.

Lisa Lisa & Cult Jam was the second concert I ever went to (Purple Rain was the first). Full Force was the opening act. They performed in the round on a rotating stage in Westbury, NY.

She would shatter Prince indeed!

I just saw two LISA LISA & CULT JAM (what a cool name) videos back to back and she is a little plump, but she does have that Apollonia thing going for her.


The videos were: Can you feel the beat & Head to toe

LittleLamb said:

just because shes a Hispanic sista with big tits.. she got that "appolonia thang?"

TheRealFiness said:

Actually now that you said it, i think she did look a little like Apollonia. It has nothing to do with the fact that she is Hispanic also. Look at Apples and look at Lisa Lisa and you would have to admit they resemble one another

TheDeacon said:

nah they dont.. actually

I can see SOME similarity, like makeup, but that's about it.

I know that Lisa Lisa was a huge fan of Prince.She even appeared at the premiere of 'Graffiti Bridge' which took place in New York (if I'm not mistaken).

And yesterday or the day before, it was like I was bombarded with Lisa Lisa and the Cult Jam; I saw two videos back to back on 2play Tuesday (on one of those music channels). I saw Can You Feel the Beat and Head To Toe




Oh, I did not know she was a PRINCE fan. Seems like everybody is a PRINCE fan!

I've always felt that Lisa's 1987 song "i Promise You" is very Prince-influenced.You could easily imagine Prince and Sheila E. singing this song as a duet.

Lisa Lisa was married when she was popular.

LittleLamb said:

except Lisa could sing and Apples couldn't.

LaughinAtYall said:

Yep. She was married to a guy in the band.

Hotlegs said:

Cult Jam was only two people and Full Force played all the instruments on record. Which one was she married to?

kdj997 said:

No, she lost weight for that last video, remember?

sextonseven said:

"U gotta MMOOOVE!" That's the only line I remember from her last video, where she had lost weight.

Lisa was only 16 when "I Wonder If I Take You Home" came out so I think she would have been a little young for Prince.
Lisa is a beautiful woman and her voice has definitely mature throughout her career. I only hope that I can make it to one of her concerts before it is too late.
Also, I do not believe Lisa was married to any one in her band or Full Force.
I have collected 10 of her 13 videos on DVD. It's great to watch the old school videos.

Lisa was not married when her very first single came out because she was still in high school. I think she said she got married right out of school. Her husband played her father in the video for "Kiss Your Tears Away." It was the last semi-hit she had with Cult Jam.
