Me niether.

I think the video will make me like the song BETTER now! This was a very stylish and creative video, Prince YA DID IT AGAIN! This should be another one of Prince video classics!!

1. Thanks ND for the QT link.

2. The vides Great. He (whoever) put a lot of thought into the video to go along with the song.

3. I hope it get's airplay

4. I don't think it'll get airplay this close to election day. (PRAYING THAT IT WILL)

5. He's probably gonna get flack from the 9/11 folks (although all of us were affected)

6. Have to agree, this band is TITE!!!!! But how long will they last?

7. And yes, we do have something to be proud of again.

Peace

1. A great idea.

2. To number every sentence.

3. A Bullit for every thought.

4. Just kidding.

5. Im bored.

I can't see it. I don't know if it has to do with me using a public computer or not. This is too shocking. I was listening to the song over an hour ago and I was wondering if this song was going to ever be released other than Europe and then I come here and see that a video's been done already! Then ALL of you like it! Hell must have frozen over or something. I have to see this video.

After watching the video a few times i have only got just got a few words for what i viewed. Outstandingly stunning, Mr Nelson has outdone himself this is a beautiful work off art.
Now let’s get the TV stations to play this.

Woah..what a shock. Great video
The song isn't great, but together with a video like that, it's listenable.
Hope it gets airplay..or maybe that's asking too much

Awesome video. I love the actress in it. She was great in Whale Rider and she's very cute too.

By the way "Similiar Artists- TC Ellis"????? WTF?????

Wow 100 replies posted on this thread and not ONE negitive comment about the video. The world IS coming to an end, isn't it


Seriously folks, if this video gets press/airplay this could really stir the pot and ruffle some feathers here in the states.The man is pushing the envelope once again...isn't it great!

I noticed on an earlier post that the video will be available on the CD single released on November 1 .

Could this be the ultimate plan? Release this hard hitting video to the US video outlets , VH1, MTV..it gets some airplay then gets "banned" from the stations due to its controversial, anti-american nature. Creates a huge media buzz. Thus the video being available on the single , sells hundreds of thosands of the single and gets a #1 record.

Much like Madonna did with Justify My Love video , although banned for totally different reasons. The song became the talk of the music world and broke all sorts of records for video VHS sales .

the thread is too long for me to check if this already made it in here, but anyway

nope.

Yes it was a good video. Made me actually get into the song a little and I dont care for it too much. Was Prince wearing a hat in it? The girl resembled Mayte to me. I liked how it had the art-y look to it ! Im DL'ing it now so I can see it better because on the AOL viewer thingy, the video was breaking up alot but from what I could see, I liked it and it made a statement, I hope that it gets good airplay on the TV...more than likely VH1 will play it and during the late mornings and early afternoons BET will play it.

Prince and the NPG

iI loved the fact that Prince did an artistic video...great piece of art

Good move, Ms.-had-to-find-SOME-reason-to-like-the-video-since-she-didn't-see-one-at-first.

Best Prince video ever. Name ones that's better. Made me hear the song in a whole new way. That's the mark of a great video.

i couldn't see the video first, not a reason why.

love it

newpower99 said:

The video is not anti-american, it's anti-hate, there is a HUGE difference.

Anyway, awesome video.

thank you, i was just about to point that out.

Her family aren't terrorists...that's the reason she snuck out of her bedroom window to attempt her attack at the airport. I get the feeling that, after the Towers attacks, she was struggling between being true to her heritage (everyone started hating her and linking her and her family to terrorism simply because of their "fixed heritage"), and trying to be more "American" (the scene with her family getting on her because of how she was dressed, her hairstyle, etc..)...Over the time period depicted in the video (a year, perhaps??..More?? Less??) she had grown into someone who became angry and disillusioned, and eventually became a pawn for some terrorist cell...only to return literally at the last second to what she knew to be right...

I was so shocked. This is a GOOD video. what has happened?

Well i am gonna stick my neck out and say that i dislike the song a great deal and dislike the video even more.

i know, i'm still in shock over this too--it's a good video, some of us thought he'd never be able to pull it off...
