Am I the only one who doesn't like the Twinz?

Why?
1- I find them too vain. They walk like they're stars when I don't find them particularly important.
2- I find them ugly. They really would be good on "Planet of the Apes". One of the picture they posted on 3121.com, she really looks like a monkey.
3- I don't find them good dancers.

Can anyone tell me what they think? I might be talking out of jealousy, not sure.

I actually think they are pretty girls, and they have killer legs! biggrin I think they have alot of energy and can really move. I think they really work for Prince's show. Not that they are my favorite "Prince" girls or anything but I think they fit in pretty nicely for the 3121 style.

They're vain, gimmicky, over the top, and mysterious; everything Prince has always been to some extent. I love 'em.

Other than not being able to sing, they don't bother me at all. Of course Cat was the pinnacle for Prince "girls," but the Twinz are cool. He seems to enjoy having them around and they look like they're having fun. So I won't hate on them. Being a twin myself, I am happy that they are repping twins. I like them better than Mayte. Mayte always got on my nerves.

They're a newer version of Diamond And Pearl that's all. They'll be gone once Prince decides to drop another cd.

no you're not the only one who doesn't like them. you can count me in. i guess we'll have to resign ourselves to prince and his dancing twats. remeber he said that what made the bigest impression on him when he went to see james brown as a child -- " he had the most beautiful dancing girls i'd ever seen"


i have no use for them but i guess he is getting a lil old to be "getting down" the way he used to.

It´s always good to see some cute dancers with Prince, he´s a Gemini and it´s cool to have real twins by your side, that´s quite original and eccentric.
They´re for sure not the second coming of Cat Glover or Mayte, but hey, they´re sexy and cute and I like the way they shake it.
I´d rather see him with (a) dancer(s) than without...reminds me a bit of the good old days with Cat.

They don't bother me as long as they stay in the further background on stage and continue to singing off key.

They are very Vegas. But last night they proved they could sing and when you take your eyes off of Prince for a second you will notice some amazing dancers. And since when did looks matter so much. Planet of the Apes? I saw them up close and met them actually and they were really nice. Amazing accents and very exotic looking up close. They looked like half black/half Australian or something. And didn't Prince once say on Oprah that he had found his other twin or something. Living inside him. And he realized it was a female? So I wonder if while he is playing his guitar, he sees himself in the Twinz. One of them is is good side and the other is Camille.

"Since when did looks matter so much" when it comes to show business it sure does matter. Who wants to see ugly looks? Now, I admit beauty is subjective. We can't all have the same opinion on it.

The first time I saw them, at Nokia NYC, I thought, " eek Damn, Eat a sandwich, or something!" They looked like stick figures to me.

Now, I call them THING 1 & THING 2.

No, Malbena. You're not the only one. They're useless ragdolls, IMO.

but the thin gis that is really is not original. he is basically copying what he did with dimond and pearl back how many years ago? first i thought it was cool and now i think that he is starting to become a joke of his former self like he is going backwards. does that make sense ? like how can you hvae the twinz talking for you at a press conference in Vegas after people are making fun of that very time period that happened with Mayte (like on SNL and the "prince show" skits). i feel kind of emabarassed for him somehow.

Seeing them once was okay but after that the gimmick gets old quickly. I guess it's eye candy for the guys so I just pretend they don't exist.

Thing 1 and Thing 2 is a good name for them. lol
Prince, in you I found a kindred spirit...Rest In Paradise.

It's not that I don't like them. But if I really tell you the truth, it's the same old story. La Dee Da. Young women taking all the glory just because of their age. Please. Isn't life worth more than that? They really don't have to do too much, if you are all about being arm candy. How many times can the same story be told? Women shot down because they've grown old at the same time men hold on to their youth by taking a younger woman. It's everywhere, men with money, some with none, hooking up with young ladies so they feel cool and young. Get on the boat I say, those young chicks are of reproductive age. Older women can be pushed overboard. Older men and younger ladies can get down just like nothings wrong and this is like it was meant to be. hell yeah

I like them. They don't bother me. Their choreography kicked ass @ the BET awards.

New, yes, but not "improved." shake Now, I have seen some not so attractive people pull off some attitude to actually make you drool for their asses, but these chicks got about as much sex appeal as bean sprouts. The only excitement I'd get is watching one of them trip over something while supposed throwing all this ego they supposedly got. Please. They're cute, but that's where it ends.

You're not alone. I have no desire to see backup dancers with Prince. There's no need for them. But like most other people, I somehow had no problem with Cat. I wonder why that is.

cuz she wasnt corny or a gimmick...she was and is a real hardcore dancer plus her and Prince had chemistry that went when she left and that he obviously tried 2 get back with others...but Cat was Cat and could never be replaced...sorry 4 my rant but CAT IS BACK dancing jig nutso

Here's my take on Maya and Nandy (The Twinz is so corny):

They were much more attractive before they dyed and straightened their hair.

They are not ugly, but too me, they are not the raving beauties/sex goddesses that some seem to think they are.

I think they are great dancers...but some of their moves are a bit extra/over-the-top.

With that being said, I really don't understand why at this stage in the game, Prince feels the need for visual gimmicks. He is too damn old for all of that... Toting them around to after parties/fashion shows, taking pics of them is his bathroom, incestuous looking 3121 countdown pictures, having them speak to the press on his behalf...ugh.

I agree, I saw the show in Vegas and they did a very good job....and yes they can certainly sing smile so *shrug* I don't see why yawl are stressing this issue so much? They're doing their thing and seem to enjoy it...so why don't yawl let them for once wink
