Does Prince need a new dancer?

First there was the girl off the Kiss video, then Cat, then someone called Mayte. James Brown always has a couple of hot dancers on tour.

I agree.

All that is required on stage for a music concert is musicians.

But for video's ? Yeah, why not. He should get a whole troupe of sexy dancers and just make wigglin'jigglin' videos from now on.

I don't think he needs a dancer to dance to his unfunky new renditions of Prince classics.

But to answer the question, absolutely not. A dancer would not work with his current performing style. The reason Cat and Mayte made the shows so hot was the way Prince would interact with them. That type of performance is not something he's dong right now, so it would just be weird to have a chick gyrating behind him while he stands off to the side in a suit not looking at her.

A resounding NO.

Aside from Cat, Prince's female dancing foils have definitely cheapened to look of his shows. Mayte was particularly annoying during the Gold period and was overused in videos. The one in the Hit n Run 200? tour was the weakest -- it was like one of those generic models JB uses in his shows. With Cat, there was none of that feeling because she is not a generic beauty and her moves are not your typical Solid Gold steps. She was part of the band and had a great rapport with Prince and Sheila E. By comparison, Mayte was a piece of eye candy. She looks better but she's objectified. Her dancing was better than Cat but also extremely derivative and ultimately less personal than Cat's minimally choreographed moves.

If Prince was still single, Yes.

But otherwise, no.

I thought the Erotic City Dancers would have been a nice addition to the Gold tour, but that just didn't happen. neutral

But Cat was cool and I got used to Mayte. That there girl in the Rave Un2 The Year 2000 video didn't really seem right. confused

I think a foil in the shape of a band member - like he had in Wendy - would be better. nod

Maybe if he had permanent dancers, we would stop seeing girls
who need the excercise as dancers...

eek
Thanks for the laughs, arguments and overall enjoyment for the last umpteen years. It's time for me to retire from Prince.org and engage in the real world...lol. Above all, I appreciated the talent Prince. You were one of a kind.

The perfect example of that and how poorly it works is the Rave dvd. nod

Yip ... those dancers were the biggest detractor from an otherwise excellent show.
