Not that it's a big secret or surprise, but the duo & former longtime couple have given what is probably their most candid interview to date! Wendy & Lisa openly discussing their life together, their music career & of course the Purple One himself, whose sexuality is also clarified for the reader:

"Did you first think Prince was gay?

Lisa: He was little and kinda prissy and everything. But he’s so not gay.

Wendy: He’s a girl, for sure, but he’s not gay. He looked at me like a gay woman would look at another woman.

Lisa: Totally. He’s like a fancy lesbian.

Lisa's 'Fancy Lesbian' comment is gonna stick around. Just like 'Skipper'.

I actually think they love him dearly. More importantly I like the way the questions are balanced between their past experiences as opposed to where they are now and emphasizing their growth over the years.

But as you can see. The only noteworty part of the entire interview for most people was the fancy lesbian comment...typical org mentality.
Prince, in you I found a kindred spirit...Rest In Paradise.

well for me that was just funny.So it stood out.
I agree about W&L. I have always thought in many ways they have has the BEST career of the lot (including Prince) in that they can keep working regardless of age from now on. It's sad but true in American pop culture- when you dare age it's all over. Scoring, writing, producing and doing what they do means a long healthy career as long as they want. It's also clear their life experiences have added up to a lot both artistically and personally. I'd wish that for anyone who is of an artistic bent. It's a tough road but they seem to be laying their own pavement:) Plus they both seem really happy, and that's the larger point, right?

That was a cool interview. They seem like 2 very cool and fun individuals. Thanks for posting Yelocloud.
I'm not a fan of "old Prince". I'm not a fan of "new Prince". I'm just a fan of Prince. Simple as that

I would pay money to hear audio of this interview, or SEE it.

I have read this interview a couple of times since I saw this thread, and I posted it on my Prince blog. Every single time I've read it, I've laughed out loud at the "fancy lesbian" part.

It tickles me NOT because it's about Prince, but because I can hear Lisa saying that. Can't you hear them sitting there, just chatting along like they did on the Purple Rain DVD extras, and Lisa blurts out "Fancy lesbian"???? TOO damn funny!

I think the question of that other personality inside Prince (as stated to Oprah) and its unknown gender has been resolved by Wendy in that interview: "He's a girl for sure, but he's not gay". HAHAHA


I knew it. He probably dropped it under his bike and rolled over it. Fancy lesbian. disbelief

No worries, I just didn't want the other stuff to go unnoticed. cool

I agree 100 percent. It's great to see them in such a good place personally and professionally in a business that can be so cruel even at the best of times.

Aaaw girl, you can hear all that love alllll over their debut album; when you listen to "Song About" and "Stay" it almost makes you want to say "Heffa, Lisa is yo' wife and you sound like you are more in love with him than her..." lol

...yup, it's pretty clear the hold that this man had over their hearts...and I ain't mad at it...it produced some extraordinarily beautiful compositions that I still listen to, to this day nod

Aw I am still rolling at that fancy lesbian comment. lol

I am going to tell anyone who proclaimed that Prince is gay. "No he is not gay, he is a fancy lesbian." Blank stares and confusion will follows.

Great interview, overall.

wasn't it very obvious that they were playing the cool mysterious lesbian card with that intro to "Computer Blue"? It was so in your face, that, honestly, in the late 80's I thought it was a publicity stunt and that they were not gay, and not even a couple.

How funny to find out later that they really were a couple!

That being said, I don't like the music to Heroes at all... it's not as remarkable/emotional as the music in LOST!

If you could tell by that intro then you're good. It wasn't obvious because they looked very feminine and they weren't exaggerating in any way or showing in pics. They were very discreet imo.
If you would have said Madonna, ok, I already knew in 1985 that she liked women.

I normally notice at least a little when someone is gay/bi but not with them. In 2000 I had a conversation with a collegue about them, how much I liked them and he said with a nasty face "they're gay". I didn't know at all and was surprised but mostly annoyed with the way he had said it, as if it made them less.
I think they're super and the interview is great.

It seems to me that they've come to terms with the fact that Prince is going to come up in every interview that they do. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised to find out that at least 75% of each one they do is edited down to focus on Prince and/or their association with him.

But realizing this, it seems like they're a lot looser. They accept it and give up the goods, knowing that it's the hook that's going to get the interview read so they can get some exposure for their own (very good) work in the process.

As a result, these interviews they've been doing the last several months are really incredible and a blast to read.


Why wouldn't he come up in every interview? If it wasn't for Prince the vast majority of people wouldn't even know who Wendy and Lisa are. Without Prince they would have never achieved the kind of fame that they have. They would have been working composers or musicians, but no where near the level that they achieved in their careers had they not been associated with and so prominantly featured by him. So, in that respect he was very generous because he could have easily had other, more talented musicians in their place.

I am not trying to take anything from them, but the fact remains that there is nothing about them that makes them stand so far ahead of the crowd of talented folks performing and composing music. However, once you add the Prince factor into their success, it makes sense.
perfection is a fallacy of the imagination...

I thought it was an obvious but fake gay ploy:
"Wendy?"
"Yes, Lisa"
"Is the water warm enough?"
"Yes Lisa"
"Shall we begin?"
"Yes Lisa"

and then in the poster with the album we all noticed they were touching. We also noticed Prince was artificially the tallest...lol

but I never ever thought Madonna was into women until the Sandra Bernhardt gossip. And even now, it seems like that was a fluke.

Wendy: Trust me, Barry. He will read this article and we will get a phone call and he’ll be pissed. Somewhere in this article he’ll find something to be pissed about.

Won’t he be proud of you too?
Wendy: No. No. No.
Lisa: He’s not very generous like that.


Well, I’ll do my best.
Lisa: Make it crazy! I don’t care.
Wendy: Holy shit, Lisa. I don’t wanna get that call.
Lisa: I’ll take the call.



sad

I don't think she was into women, either. I think that was another attempt at creating controversy & getting folks tittilated with so-called "lesbian antics."

You never see her being linked to a woman now do you?
