Prince's best and worst video?

Okay I know that the Purple One has many videos, but if you could give me just two-which one's would you pick? One bad and one good wink . I 'm gonna say that in my opinion, the worst video was "Alphabet St" (yeah the images were beautiful, but I just generally disliked the song). "Diamonds and Pearls" gets my vote for his best video. It's just a beautiful video and I loved his usage of children in it. So, what's ur picks? rainbow.

Most people on here usually say it's the worse. But it's in no way, shape, or form WORSE than Scandalous.

It bores me. The video fits the song though. I just find it boring. But Paisley Park? barf

Best: either Kiss or Mountains (runner up: Raspberry Beret)
Worst: SOTT (runner up: When 2 R in Love)
The check. The string he dropped. The Mona Lisa. The musical notes taken out of a hat. The glass. The toy shotgun painting. The things he found. Therefore, everything seen–every object, that is, plus the process of looking at it–is a Duchamp.

When 2 R In Love hardly counts as a video. I mean, it's from the "black" album. What did you expect? I always thought a neat concept for a video for that song would be like "I Wish U Heaven" but at night time or something. It has that lullaby quality to it

Damm I never saw "Scandalous", got to put my hands on it razz

My fav video, may be strange, but it's "Dolphin", I love watching Micheal B. playing drums over the bed along with MrHayes playings keys...
I love also the concept of one long camera shot.
I love the light on the guitar, I also love that beautiful guitar.
How can I forget Mayte dancing around ?
I like the end also, you feel a litle bit bad about the situation...
So many original ideas in this video, my fav one.

My worst one, I don't know it's hard to tell, maybe "Partyman", because I never know if everybody is dead or sleeping at the end wink


Otherewise I love "Diamonds and Pearls", this video is magic, feel like it was shot in a giant castle with tons of light.

sorry for my strange english...

Favorites:

Partyman (Extended Version)
Cream (the female dancers in this are so hot)
Kiss (simple and cool; I like when he screams at Wendy)
Girls & Boys (fun and b&w--bonus)
Batdance (Awesome cheesiness, plus Prince looks cool in his half Batman/half Joker getup)
U Got the Look (because I love SOTT--this one used the live stage setup--and Sheena Easton was hot)

Worst:

Sign O the Times (such a boring video for a great song)
When 2 R in Love (similar to SOTT as I remember)
I Would Die 4 U (hate, hate, hate this--the worst part is when everyone dances around the stage)
Scandalous (don't like the song, don't like the video--I feel like we're watching Prince get himself off)

I actually think the "SOTT" video is brilliant. Sure, it looks like a PowerPoint presentation but it focuses your attention on the lyrics.

For me Prince has never been a video artist, the music always takes centre stage and the videos only distract.

If I'm to pick best and worst ones though, I'd go for these...

Best:
"SOTT"
"I Wish U Heaven" (has a kind of a heavenly glow about it!)
"Glam Slam" (made me wish I'd had the chance of seeing a Lovesexy show)
"Kiss" (I just love Wendy's face when she laughs at the end)

Worst:
"When 2 R In Love"
"7" (hate the song, hate the video)
"Alphabet Street"

That's too easy - Paisley Park. Such a wasted opportunity, it pains me.

America.

Of course, this whole thread is relative.

I don't want to see anymore youtube links - no need when the following link has been readily available in Dansa's FAQ: http://www.vh1.com/artist...deos.jhtml

Black Sweat has earned its way near the top of my favorites..I love Prince's faces as the girl dances behind him, the b&w tone..the closeups..usually his videos are filmed at a distance..

His WORST video EASILY was SCANDALOUS. Him moving around with no broad to get tasy with bored the fuck out of me.

His BEST video was If I Was Your Girlfriend. The wind blowing him was tight and then his little rendezvous with Cat was the shit.

Best

7--Cheesy but I just like the look of it

Cream--The videos from D and P were very well-produced

Gett Off-Just a great buzz-creator

Kiss--Minimalist classic

Glam Slam--Great slice of the Lovesexy show I wanted to see so bad

Thieves in the Temple--Fits the song perfectly


Worst

Dinner with Delores--Looks like they spent about $10 on it and got back $8.50 in change.

My Name is Prince--Prince liked that chained hat thing a lot better than the rest of us did.

Betcha By Golly Wow--Just really hard to watch on every level

When 2 R in Love--Yes, P, we can read. Thanks.

P had nothing to do with the video for W2RIL because that was a Warner Bros. release of the Black Album. So, since they no longer had P they just did a video with the words to the song.
