Wow, it does look like her. Vanity wore hats so the silhoutte of the girl with the long hair and hat matches that.

What about the half naked girl writhing all over the bed?

good catch, another seduction song to Vanity the original nasty girl

Here's a new detail I just noticed in the WDC video: at the very end, the drawing of the woman's face cries:

.

.

And that reminded me of a similar image last month on April 8th, the day after he canceled the Atlanta concerts the first time, Prince's twitter avatar changed, and added a tear.

God that's just depressing. WDC was about her leaving him. And now she's literally left. sad sad

The tears match. I didn't follow him on twitter, but wow, yes connection for sure.

eek

I am shocked how much it reminds me of Vanity

Wow . . .just wow

It's pretty amazing isn't it! nod

so as all these women come and in his head it seems there is only one who is ever present even though not physically available to him

Amazing because they are had a legit relationship but Vanity had him that inner piece of him-she always had it -the other women had to know

I have to admit it's just kind of bizarre just how hung up he is on her. This is Get Hot Wit U from around 2000. It's using part of Nasty Girl from 1982. The woman in it looks just like Vanity. Am I the only person who thinks he's just kind of obsessed?

Wow

It looks like Vanity- WOW

The thing is so many who did not know about Vanity would never get the connection

Do you think I hate you is about Vanity?

Yes, I do. Eye Hate U was recorded in early 1994 and released in July 1995. At some point in that timeframe she had her OD and then got married to someone else on 26 March 1995. I mean look at the lyrics:

Did U do 2 your other man the same things that U did 2 me?
Right now I hate U so much I wanna make love until U see
That it's killin' me, baby, 2 be without U
Cuz all I ever wanted 2 do was 2 be with U ... ow!

I think alot of his songs are - either directly about her (like Adore) or indirectly (where she bleeds through everything he writes so she's in there somewhere)

yeah, and in some ways I think through all the women he kept sending out these songs to her as if to say he's thinking about her while he's doing all these other chicks lol bastard.

I do believe they were on to him. Wasn't he married to Mani at the time of this song/video? Many of these songs are painful and angry, they had to have known the songs weren't about them since he was with them at the time.

Well I was always curious who that woman is supposed to represent. It didn't particularly remind me of Vanity - but it's kind of face with classic features, so it could be. But did Vanity have blue eyes?

I think her eyes were brown.

Yeah I would have to agree - she was thread throughout so much of the music he wrote and performed for his entire life - almost 30 years after they were a couple, he was still referencing and singing to her through his music. That is a one-of-a-kind-love for sure!! Reminds me of the Cole Porter tune "Got You Under My Skin!" I said it earlier in this thread, the truth of it is that Prince and Vanity never really got over each other, they were never able to match the depth of love or passion they shared with each other.

The video is of him and Mayte though

It is just so . . . as someone said weird-

They were twin souls . . . had to be torture for the ones they used as placeholders

Yeah but remember we mentioned earlier how strange it was when he was doing that interview and Mayte was with him and out of the blue he talks about Vanity and how everyone thought that he would marry her. And then he says he is fine in response to her claim that his recent music was so dark and she was worried about him. So it wasn't the first or only time that he is with another woman and somehow he is referencing (even subliminally) talking or responding to Vanity.

I don't know what was happening in his life then and with his realtionships. Maybe he was having some sort of existential crisis? It was 1999. But you're right, how you could not see this if you were involved with him - or maybe they were too close to it to see?

Eye Hate U (extended remix) lyrics, last verse:

.


If I sound a little bitter it's cuz, my baby, U danced 4 a dollar
I know he didn't make U holler
And if he did, it wasn't like the time we did it 2 Mahler
Don't U remember?
U were my little nasty lady
Mine and U never felt the need 2 lay another down
And so now I frown at the sound of your very name
Cuz now, my dear, all U are 2 me is an old flame
And when it burns out, I'll be free of the mouth, the lips I used 2 kiss
My baby, my little nasty miss
The one nobody could see
Nobody but me
Why, why'd U wanna leave?
Was I so hard 2 please?

Maybe since they were in the present at the time they saw her as the past; His lies have been noted in this thread

Maybe he lied to them while not being honest with himself - that is how I took the song Revelation

He had a revelation of the truth about love - the one

Yes and he did put a pretty good show and of how to turn it on when he needed to - and he had an awful lot of practice doing it everytime he got on stage. That Oprah video with Mayte springs to mind where they look like they're so in love.

I'd agree with you, I think he finally worked it out in the end and he understood.

True

It makes the concerts where he is dedicating songs to her even more special, more validating than I even though yesterday

Every day I come to this thread and there is something new to validate my theory about their deaths

Yes! Revelation gives me the chills. "The color of the pharoah's hand" to me signifies the laying the cards on the table. Finally, he's giving it up what this story has been about.

I'm still working that out. He was going to reveal it in the film after UTCM but I think the original script was not accepted. It had something to do with a spiritual epiphany he had during Dirty Mind, a 2 day crisis.

I think her eyes were brown. But I don't know if you remember but PR had all those little mannequin faces and dolls and puppet things everywhere through it. I mean it's quite odd - you've got a guy in his early 20's with stuff in his bedroom that you'd find in a 8year old girls bedroom. But I think it was part of the theme - cause they even had them on the stage at the big performance of Purple Rain at the AMA 1985.

Prince wrote a song for her called "katrina's paper dolls" but it has never been released.

YES!! I remember seeing too. I looked for lyrics and I could not find them so that makes sense as to why.
