Wow, someone hasnt seen this? Its a must see for Prince hardcore, it's kinda freeky though. And strained effort. Specially when he performs..the part that freeks me out the most is:

1. when he admits seeing a therapist and being told 2 people are inside of him. eek

2. showing Oprah the "baby room" OMG eek because during that time, the baby was gone already...wow, what a hard moment that mustve been for him.

I´ve just seen it and loved it! He´s sooooo sweet! And he looks hot! I don´t understand why some of you don´t like it.


Oh, it's a good interview - but the wierd part was discussing the health of a baby that had already passed away... come on, that's wierd.


I haven´t seen that bit. Two parts out of six on the net didn´t work for me and those were probably the ones. Wish I saw them.

you know, they don´t air this type of thing in the Czech republic and I haven´t found it on the net up till now when someone has sent it to me. (thank you to that person once again) I always wanted to see it.

.....no....the child had transitioned (died) B4 the interview, eek that was disturbing 2 B...eye have the Oprah 1 on VHS...all media stuff 4 that time occured after that dear soul came & went~they spoke as if it hadn't happened = always felt Prince, his fans & all who care were excluded from sharing loving concern on that event...the word has remained never say/ask anything 2 Prince about the baby...from some lyrics B wonders if the Truth surrounding "Baby Gregory" was ever 'accepted' by the ONE with the most 2 learn from it.....

queen B


...no...that's what i was saying...the baby had just died before the taping of the paisley park interview, which makes it really painful to watch. you can see the truth in his eyes when he says "it's all good". it's really sad. he did keep the public far away from his grief and his loss, though i do remember when i saw him on the jam of the year tour at jones beach, he went into a little speech about loss, and about things not turning out the way you want them to. he was very vague as to what he was talking about, but i think we all knew.



yes eye feel the comments Anx~Prince is generally vague about stuff that really means something 2 him (thats another thread piece) the disturbing thing 2 B was the whole "Emancipation" upclose&personal interviews ALL came after the Soul had transitioned....the denial campaign was a bit much...truly my point of view was this Soul passed through his life 2 share a great message! as one familiar with the 'workaholic' syndrome, when something personally/emotionally painful presents itself~rather than attend 2 it~producing great work & staying busy is often the choice (this was the tendancy N my family) a wound that gets pushed down & is unattend will fester & erupt later N the journey: that was/is my greatest concern regarding this one dear 2 my heart (Prince) surely Heaven knows of Myte & Prince's grief....entering October 16th and exiting 7 days later = profound!!! GOD's Grace & Heaven's Blessings abound = all is Never lost!! as a wise one once said, "Anyone can count how many seeds R N an apple, only GOD can count how many apple's R N a seed."

Now I've finallay seen the whole interview smile I liked it. The man can be funny! lol. Gosh, he must have been totally exhausted after that, he must have had a brakedown after it. Or is he so trying to live in this perfect world that he can cut off his emotions and live in denial?
He had two persons living inside of him. It soended a little wacko, but I'm a fellow gemini and feel kinda the same way, but on the other hand, don't we all have these two different persons inside of us? It was just really sad to here him say that he created this so he had someone who loved him and didnt bully him for his height sad Those bullies must feel pretty stupid now!

I mean, he was so incredibly relaxed and...normal! I know they're friends, but still. Well, it was fun to watch:)

I just can't understand why Prince didn't cancel the interview after the death of his son. I mean, he's cancelled appearances before at the last minute, even whole albums! Why go on and pretend things were fine when he could have avoided the whole thing completely.


just my own personal speculation, but at the time, i think prince felt there were huge stakes at hand with regards to the promotion of 'emancipation'. this was his first project really, truly on his own, without the safety net of WB. i think he felt he had a lot to prove, and that with all the obstacles that popped up, that the show had to go on. i think this was one time, though, when the show really needed to be shut down for a few...unless maybe it was all that was keeping him going.


I believe that's it.

I cant even watch that interview.It makes me feel really awkward because I can see Prince feeling really awkard...he looked so sad.and than it really hurt because the simple fact that he was trying 2 cover up his pain and act like nothing happened. sad
I dont like interviews like that...

So the make-up artist at your place met him? Do you now if she saw him take any strange pills?... Or was she the reason for him acting so unusually chilled? lol I'd like to do his make-up.... Hey, P, I'm good at it, really!

I don't know if she did his make up. She did George Clinton's though...and she applied for Prince's PA job but didn't get it. She said something about Jamie Foxx too but I don't remember, I guess he was just hanging out here...in Minneapolis once and she met him??... She didn't say anything about Prince popping pills or anything. lol but one would think Prince would have to take painkillers for his leg or whatever...but I don't know anything about that either. wink

wink I don't care about the rumors. I already know he's not nice. I don't care..his music is bomb. Now if I found out he killed a puppy or something maybe THEN I'd have to reconsider my fandom. lol

But seriously I know what it is like to be victim of vicious UNTRUE rumors so I keep in mind that there is a 50/50 chance that whatever is said about him could be complete garbage. He's a genius...lots of people are jealous of that. Jealousy spawns rumors as we all know. razz

I'm not even gonna pretend I know him enough to say this is fact, but maybe he needed to do something like that for himself...talk/think about anything else besides his child passing away. I'm a DJ; shortly after learning of the death of my grandmother who raised me since I was 2, I HAD to keep doing my shows. Not because I put my business values over my personal, but because I needed to do something to get me out of the dark void in myself that I had retreated in to. Sure, I mourned when I went home afterwards, but even just for those few hours, I escaped the heart ache.
