i often skip this song if i'm listening to D&P. The only part i really like is the instrumental break before the "D to the I to the A to the M..." etc. | |

One of the best pop slow songs he has ever made. One that makes me feel huggable. I love good pop. | |

Back in the day when I used to compile 75 minute cd's with Prince's music by genre. I used to have comilations called Songs 4 Sunday, A Sure Hit and I of course also had a Ballad Blizzard.
I never included Diamonds & Pearls on it. To me the choice not to include it were various, but the one that mattered most to me is that is was too bland compared to many other great ballads. Of course, this was a personalised compilation. If I had to compile a Ballad Blizzard for the general public Diamonds & Pearls and other 'easy' ballads like Nothing Compares 2 U would be included immediately. As is; here is my choice of ballads, limited by the 80 minutes limit of a cd. The Ballad Blizzard has always been a growing compilation, as you can see by recent additions like One Nite Alone and The One. The songs chosen here were included because they are amazing stand outs. No D&P, as it seems awfully sappy compared to a lot of the emotional power channelled by the songs I did include. The only stand out here is Anna Stesia, which is not really a ballad, but belongs on Songs 4 Sunday, my collection of faith-inspired Prince songs. But I was always puzzling with the songs and as I am busy making some compilations for Muse, I probably will tackle THIS collection again too... Adore Anna Stesia The Beautiful Ones Do Me Baby Forever In My Life Girl [extended] Gotta Broken Heart Again How Come U Don't Call Me Anymore If I Was Your Girlfriend One Nite Alone The One Paris [tentative titled instrumental intro to Power Fantastic] Power Fantastic Something In The Water (Does Not Compute) Sometimes It Snows In April Venus De Milo When We're Dancing Close And Slow | |

Sorry, but I can't see how Gotta Broken Heart again could make that list and Diamonds and Pearls didn't. Don't hurt me, I'm a newb. I'm supposed to be stupid. | |

Well, I won't argue much more, but to me, everything he does is pretty original because it's all undeniably Prince and he's completely unique. But Still Waiting and Gotta Broken Heart Again are 2 or 3 songs of his I just don't like. Don't hurt me, I'm a newb. I'm supposed to be stupid. | |

But Still Waiting and Gotta Broken Heart Again are 2 or 3 songs of his I just don't like. Actually Prince did LOADS of uninteresting stuff and unoriginal. I am not the kind of fan that likes everything the man ever did. Lots of his songs are recorded to a certain templates, like Insatiable to me is just a feeble reworking of the stuff he did better on Do Me Baby. During concerts any performance of Diamonds And Pearls and/or Nothing Compares 2 U is my beer- or toiletstop. I can't stand either song. Feeble easy sing alongs. Sinead STOLE that song from him and he has not been able to improve on it. I guess it must sting. | |
