Who was Prince's soulmate?

Mayte

Only he knows

Krys, u know I dig u, but DAMN! How in the world could ANYBODY on here answer that question?

I'm just asking people what they think.

I know for a fact that Vanity was his one and only true love not Mayte. Prince practically dedicated the Purple Rain CD to his lady love!

You know shit.

sherisegotti said:

prove it.
atleast it was obvious Emancipation was 4 Mayte.

Obviously neither one was or he'd still be with her...

Well, I don't know who his soul mate was and really, I don't care. But we as human beings are not very smart and tend to not know what we have until it's gone. So, some of us do lose our soul mates in the process of searching for what we THINK we don't have or for that something "better".

Sad but true.

I know Krys, but still. If u asked P that same question, he would probably say some stupid shit like "I'm just looking for the ladder."

blackguitaristz said:

Well there is no way in hell I'd ask HIM that!

Hi BG

I have to go with Mayte. They were together from like 1993 to 1999ish. She wasn't legal the whole time, but he wooed her the whole time.

In contrast, he was a lot younger when he met Vanity. He was more into his career. She was into hers but drugs took up a big chunk of her time (and P wasn't into that).

Plus, they didn't really date for that long.

I think people keep mentioning Vanity because it was a hot period musically and there's nostalgia there.

Back in 1982 and 1983,I don't think Prince was serious about any woman. If Vanity was really his one and only true love back then,why was he also dating Susan Moonsie,too? Around that time,he was also messing around with Susannah Melvoin (who inspired the song "Beautiful Ones").None of us know the real story,but I just find it hard to believe that a young,successful rock star could settle down and be serious with one woman.

sherisegotti said:

I belive you. It sounds like Prince and Vanity had a pretty volitle relationship if the Purple Rain story was any indication of how they really were.

Definitely Vanity .

Mayte.

MAYTE has got more going for her. She is beautiful, talented, and sexy. Vanity is just sexy, she couldnt get up on stage and dance her butt off. Id like to see her try

I love Mayte but I actually think Vanity is a pretty cool singer, I like her albums, ok I know they are kinda eighties...but I like them anyway...and I think Vanity is actually a good actress.

Krystal666 said:

You know what, you are so right. Vanity is pretty cool, i mean everyone has their good and bads. But Vanity can make some good tunes, and she can act. She probably made alot more record deals then Mayte did with her album. But i just find that Mayte has this spark, specially when she dances. I personally find that dancing is so sexy, that it can grab any mans attention. Mayte is a big inspiration for the way i dance also.

SweetStrawberry23 said:

Well belive me Vanity had no trouble getting a man's attention! But yeah I know what you mean...dancing for a man is so exciting to them because it is an expression of femininity and sensuality.

Mayte probably meant more to Prince emotionally. Listening to Emancipation, he seemed more concerned about proving his devotion to her than making good music. It's distracted, unfocused work. It was about Mayte, not the music.

Musically, the Vanity era just smokes everthing from the 90s. And the image of Prince and Vanity on Rolling Stone is more iconic than anything with Prince and Mayte.

For a woman, it's an interesting choice of roles. To be the one who inspired his most memorable work in the prime of his career? Or the one who actually got to his heart after his fame had plateaued?

But was this muse Vanity or Susannah Melvoin??

prodigalfan said:

I think Vanity came a bit before Susannah. Someone said Denise said they actually met in 1979. By the time Susannah came along it seemed that Prince and Denise were pretty much on the outs.
