Has anyone ever heard Mani talk? How does she sound? Does she speak with an accent? Does Prince even allow her to talk? Just wondering...

Haven't heard her either,but I'm sure she knows how to talk! She's almost 30...

she talks normal....really down to earth not as prissy as she would seem really...then after getting married she seem to not talk as much.. i have had a few conversations with her.. even when i didn't approach her..she would just come up to me and start talking.. she seemed like anyone next door in the hood to be honest....then she changed.. as they all do.

I dunno. Never heard her.

When asked about Mani's voice on the MMM appearance Prince did 2 summers ago, he claimed she doesn't have a Canadian accent, but her brothers do. Bullcrap, say I. Everyone has an accent. He just probably didn't notice because he's used to her and the Minnesota accent and the Ontario accent are fairly similar.

oooh yeah there doncha knoooow....LOL! You know the song Zanalee I thought Prince did a dead on Minnesota accent.

meow85 said:

Noooo darlin' I meant like a "foreign accent" of some sort. Ya know how gorgeous Mayte's got that "Latina/Puerto Rican" vibe thing goin' on with the way she talks (think Jennifer Lopez). I meant like since she's of Indian or Italian descent or something, does she speak as such?

DaVanity said:

I saw an interview with Mayte talking about the One video and she sounded JUST like J.LO! It's funny you say that.

DaVanity said:

Considering Mani's from Toronto, not so likely.

endeara said:

How did she change?

bizarre said:

Yea... good question.. maybe her voice changed? or what?

I stood right next to her and some little kid (she was playing with and dancing with) but I couldn't hear her voice, the dang music was too loud from the stage. Can't remember if Prince was playing or an opening act...

at the Xenophobia celebration

That's funny, Krystal - I thought the same thing.

sosgemini said:

Ok.. this made me really laugh from some reason

sosgemini said:

not quite sure what you mean.. her or me.....excuse me for it going over my head

bizarre said:

just seemed more approachable in the begining and then not so after awhile and infact she went from totally waving at me and saying hey to my daughter to looking at me and talking to me like i was suddenly beneath her.

guess it is quite the challenge dating any celebrity....works on your confindence and how strong you can hold it.. and your jealousy...always made me wonder.. why would anyone worry when all she had to do was look down at her ring.. that would remind me all the time...

oh and sorry i guess it was all bout her accent.. no i didn't notice one.. i had a girl in one of my classes also from Canada who didn't have an accent either.


and all i was saying along with that... is she did converse quite often with everyone because she was just one of us....(i haven't miss a paisley party yet since before Mayte) so i just wantto clarify knowing what i am talking about.

She talks at the very end of the Come On video - check it out.

she doesn't talk, she just flirts with prince and laughs.

chunky said:

She does speak, but really quietly.

I think she says "lol You're married but fucking me."

don't be silly... she's not a home-wrecker and she's jw, they don't use the f word.

chunky said:

Oh really? So what, exactly do you call fucking a guy who's married?

JWs don't swear? You'd be surprised.

PurpleKnight said:

of course they swear. let's get our facts straight... we really don't know for sure if they did it. but she's not messing with prince, he's got plans.

endeara said:

Just curious, what is your association with PP that leads you to have gone to so many parties and to "know" Mani?

chunky said:

Oh.....they curse. I worked with one and had a couple in my family. Anyway,neither one was a JW yet....where they? Damn I gotta watch that video, Prince looked hot....all un-shaven (not the old man get up).
