eyewishuheaven said:

yup. and SOTT is the cheesiest looking screensaver i've ever seen.

oh wait, it was a video.

whatevs.

eyewishuheaven said:

Kids on swings, that's originality.

The ones that strike at me the most are:

SOTT - a song as great as that deserved a much better video than what it got
Come On - the title says it all
Wish U Heaven - WTF?

"Come On" It's a great song...but bad video.

i like that video - it's cheap looking, but that whole album reminds me of a bootleg. i like the little speeding messages, and i like anything where chaka khan is waving a fan.

"Why don't cha take an old man wit' cha? Hey, I got the butter 4 ya muffin, honey. I'm just too old to hold the knife."

I like that vid.

The worst Prince videos IMO are the ones that are unofficially made, where they take clips from other videos and play them in slow motion, and u have nothing more than a compilation video. Examples - Pink Cashmere, Sexy M.F. clean version, Nothing Compares 2 U (except the live footage)

absolutely - END of discussion!

like.. WTF was that mess all about?

SCANDALOUS
is definitely his worst video ever!
makes me ashamed of being a fan ...

Paisley park and SOTT are lousy for the fact that Prince doesn't appear ...
but Scandalous is lousy because of Prince's appearence

What about the video for "When 2 R in Love" for the limited-edition Black Album release in '94 that was just a black screen.

I don't remember actually seeing the video aired on any music channels, but I remember an episode of "Beavis and Butthead" where they were flipping channels and the all-black-screen video was on.

"Hey, Beavis? What if this video was, like, shot in Prince's butt crack?"
"This sucks, Butthead. Turn this crap off."

It was something like that. They even showed the title info for the video like it had been officially released, so I'm thinking it was an actual video.

What's odd is that SOTT made the Hits video compilation and U Got the Look did not.

Someone explain that one to me.

gangsta glam.

Scandalous was weak, because it was so boring--him just standing there, in that awful red outfit.

Alright ya'll, any video with just words and lyrics on the televission screen. Lets get the shit out in the open.

All ya'll that picked Scandalous, Ya'll crazy as hell. Scandalous is 1 of my favorite Prince vids. That suite is hot and just the whole microphone dances is on fire with passion and lustful emotion. The video is supposed 2 B in that kind of motive and concept.

Now you know he did that Scandalous video because he was trying to get off cheap? Fess, up.

No, he wanted 2 match the song with no 1 but himself. That kind song does not have 2 B glamerous. The video was intended 2 B just him and the elements in Sandalous ardent love.

It's too hard. Too many to choose from!

1. Paisley Park is incredibly amateurish.`
2. SOTT is incredibly boring, though the "words on screen" was kinda new at the time (REM tried it around that time for Don't Fall on Me, much more successfully).
3. Almost all videos with Mayte after 7 sucked. She was overused in his videos and they felt as canned as can be.
4. Most Prince videos are average or bad.

PurpleKnight said:

Agreed - most of his 90's output (video-wise) sucked ASS

1. sign o the times
2. when 2 in love
3. paisley park

yes

When 2 R in Love from the Black Album release in '94 that was just a black screen.

Rinluv said:

don't worry i feel like Prince was right to do the video like that, its an intimate song and the video feels intimate to the viewer too, i like the slow dancing.. its simple but fresh...


bad video Gangsta Glam, its sooo nasty to look at cos its just SHIT really.

Totally agree with you!!! Thats a video I would NEVER see together with no-fans. Give me Partyman or Thieves in the temple.
