Sex Shooter Appolonia Vs. Vanity

I have listened to both..and in my opinion, Vanity's original version is sexier and has more of an edge, allthough it is missing sound quality..Vanity woulda did a great job in P.R. what do you think?

i like the Apollonia6 version. The vanity version sounds like a demo. And I Always found Apollonia prettier. These days,both of them havent aged too good. Apollonia got a bad face lift and Vanity looks like my grandma.

The Vanity 6 version is raw and sexy.
The Apollonia 6 version is polished sexiness.
Both great in their own ways.
Neither of them were great vocal talents but they were great at what they did.
When eye go 2 a Prince concert or related event it's all heart up in the house but when eye log onto this site and the miasma of bitchiness is completely overwhelming!

I much prefer Apples over Vanity. In everything.

Apples is a weak singer, but Vanity's voice is what dookie would sound like if it had a vocal chords.

I prefer the Vanity version of "Sex Shooter".It's funkier and much more raw.Vanity was always much more convincing in the "nasty girl" role.Apollonia was just playing a part,and it didn't feel genuine.When she screeches "I can't heaaarrrr yooouuuuu" at the end of the song,I can't help but cringe disbelief The Apollonia 6 version of "Sex Shooter" is glossy pop,which is fine,but the earlier version is pure funk,nasty and sleazy.

Plus,the Vanity version features the fun,chant-like verse at the end...

New York? Uh huh! I want you to count to 8 (eight!)
As soon as I get undressed,y'all clap your hands,okay?


I love it lol It's a shame that we never got a second Vanity 6 album.I bet it would have been more outrageous than the first one.

I must have different ears than all the Vanity fans here. lol
I know she's preferred by most hardcore fans and my opinion on this is not the norm, but when I listen to Vanity I'm embarassed for both her and Prince.

And when I watch, say the Homecoming show (I think that's the one with Vanity-6 then Time- then Revolution). I'm like WTF???? Are you serious letting this chick on stage??? Take away her mike and give her a pole.

Vanity was better at everything than Apollonia lol Vanity 6's version of Sex Shooter is just much funkier and convincing-and for those complaining it sounds like a demo-well it is-it wasn't ever finished since Vanity left Prince's camp.


Nothing against Apollonia, but she had less talent and less originality than Vanity. I'm not saying Vanity was a good singer, but she could sound ok with the right track. Apollonia-no lol. I also got the impression that Vanity was better at improv and interpretation while Apollonia would follow what she was told to do exactly and wouldn't bring anything extra to the table.


and both were beautiful women-but Vanity had that 1-in-a-million look that so many others throughout the 80's imitated. No one wanted to copy Apollonia lol

Oh,I agree,Vanity couldn't sing to save her life lol Her vocals on her solo album 'Wild Animal' are atrocious.But,when she was with the other two girls,it was a cool act.She played the "nasty girl" role just perfectly.It was trashy,sleazy fun.

Apollonia,on the other hand,never really fit in.Notice that on the A6 album,she only sings lead on the first two songs.Brenda dominates most of the other tracks.Hell,when the album was released,even Apollonia admitted that she isn't much of a singer,lol.

Prince very rarely discovered an unknown vocal talent. He created an image with music, clothes and sexuality that worked on all levels when it came to pushing his artists. Vanity & Apollonia both were perfect examples of that. If he really wanted a voice in Vanity 6 or Apollonia 6 then Jill jones was his best choice at that particular point in time. She definitely had the better voice but he overlooked pushing that talent until her debut CD. He knew what he had but chose not to utilize it fully. He could have swapped Vanity for Jill and let Vanity have her moment on 1999 and gave Jill the album and the group. The bottom line is it worked and the evidence is there when you play 'Nasty Girl' or 'Sex Shooter' at a party.

Vanity was slutty for real,it wasn't an act.When she demands "7 inches or more,get it up,get it up",it sounds genuine.Could you imagine Apollonia saying those lines? LOL.

I like Apples's better simply because it clearer and has more effect and the background harmonies are TIGHT. Although the Vanity version is more funkier. I am dying laughing at jonhart saying if dookie were vocal chords referring to Vanity. Neither girl could sing. Even Lisa stated that Appollonia couldn't sing so she (Lisa) had to sing along on "Take Me With U". I always knew Lisa's voice was on that.
