Diamonds and Pearls the Song Does anyone here like this song aside from me? It's one of my all time favs, and a lot of non-fans like it too. It beats Cream and Gett Off any day. Nice video too. Don't hurt me, I'm a newb. I'm supposed to be stupid. | |

I dug it the first few times I heard it, but then realized how poppy and disposable it is, kind of like almost everything else on the album from which it comes. | |

I liked since the first time I heard it in the reca stow when they were playing it when I walked in to buy it in 91, dont care to much for Rosies voice, but she sounds good on this, the video is one of his coolest | |

How can you deny it when he bounces off the couch like a little kid and lands in a split on the floor (in the video). Warning: Do not try this at home. | |

This song just has a totally unique, awesome sound to it that just blows me away every time I hear it...there's just some thing about it... Prince says my name in one of his songs. In Little Red Corvette, he says, "Liz is on the verge of being obscene" Ha, ha, just kidding. But seriously. | |

Same here. I don't get tired of hearing it. Don't hurt me, I'm a newb. I'm supposed to be stupid. | |

great drumming - finesse and power. And it kicks Gett Off's ass. | |

I HATE that song!!! Purple Rain isn't one of my favorites either but, its way better than Diamond and Pearls. | |

I like almost all of Prince's slow songs and this one is not an exception. I like the video too and his look during this time was one of my favorites.
I also like Rosie Gaines, too and she's sings there. | |

D&P is a beautiful song. I love anything he does with Rosie Gaines. It was a nice video too IMO. | |

i much prefered the way he (they) performed the song at the Special Olympics opening ceremony...
i was like, "damn this song rocks"...then he released the album and we got stuck with the sugar and sweet version... Space for sale... | |

I did not care so much for this song when the album was released. But now I love it, a very beautiful love song - and yes it's great when it's performed live... together with Nothing Compares 2 U, The Most Beautiful Girl, Scandalous and Insatiable. I love when Prince plays those piano medleys...
I hear it very often played on the radio (in Denmark)... D & P = classic Prince pop song. Prince 4Ever. | |

Just because this song doesn't 'push the envelope', like a lot of beautifully-crafted P songs, it gets slated.
It's nice to have weird, 'out there', challenging songs - that's one of the reasons I love him. But he's also a composer, a musician, a songsmith. And this is a good example of that. People are too scared to admit they like it. | |

i love this entire album. i think it´s my favorite. the songs are all really well done, but i don´t think that it beats Gett Off or Cream. the only albums that i like every single song on are Diamonds and Pearls, 1999, and . but i think that rosie´s voice on this track is just amazing. and i love the video. the part where he´s with the children just makes me smile. so sweet.
