I bought the Rave Un2 the Year 2000 dvd on Friday. While watching it, I became irritated with the 2 dancers that he has on stage.The chick with the short blond hair must have been there for eye candy because she couldn't even dance. They served no purpose and are very distracting. Prince is such a wonderful performer that he doesn't need dancers on stage with him. Just like those guys that are dancing on stage with him in the Musicology video, they are just in the way. I cringe whenever I see footage or videos with the NPG dancers.. Why Prince...Why? I never saw the Lovesexy tour, but based on the pics I have seen of the tour, Cat was also a waste of space.

cat was one of the few dancers who did add something.

she was great.

Co-sign. Like Mayte, Cat's energy rebounded on Prince, making him perform better and giving him a way to act out songs on stage.
Both the Sign O The Times and the Lovesexy tours became even more magnificent.

It was Diamond & Pearl that dissappointed me.

And the Game Boyz of course. They were crap. (Sorry, Kirk)

then i think you shoulda trotted over to paisley park and showed ol' boy what you're made of...y'unnastan'?

I have never seen any of the performances with Mayte, so I can't comment on that. I just don't like those guys that he had dancing with him and whoever that guy and girl are in the Rave Un2 the Year 2000 dvd are awful. Anywho, I only want to see P and his band.

Excuse me..

PurpleCharm said:

that, or be happy that he got rid of the heffas...for all we know, he still coulda had geneva windmillin all over the stage n'stuff nowadays.

I've never liked any of the dancing fools he's had. Just play music...I don't need to see the dancers. If I had to make an exception...Cat would be the only one...and THAT'S stretching it.

SteamForest said:

Ok, but I will hold off on making judgments about Cat based on just pics though.

I love the profesional dancers in the Musicology clip, esp the tapdancers...

Handclapsfingasnapz said:

oh god, thanks for the flashback image of geneva strutting around the stage waving around a newspaper during "controversy"

Anxiety said:

see? see??

PurpleCharm said:

Yes because that 2 minutes where the dancers were on stage without Prince was what ruined that DVD

Cat was the bomb! Especially on Sott. and on hot thing! that thing they did on either side of the cagefence was hot!

I wasn't too thrilled when the Pips were added to the Revolution either.

Cat, Mayte,Geneva all added 2 Prince's shows. Especially in small club aftershows. Now the 2 on Rave DVD i don't think were special at all,but with P it's about feeling&insperation. He would'nt use them if he did'nt need them just like certain instruments. He feeds off of them just like he does the crowd!
