Most Shocking !

We all know P is a man who we really can't expect what his next step is sometimes. And we all can agree that he has made some bad choices as us humans do. But what do you think is the most shocking moment from him. Whether it be song,cd,movie,performance,interview etc...
Something that made you go WTF??!!
In a good or bad way.

Actually, what I found truly shocking was his Oprah interview. She asked some very prying questions, and he actually answered them! He talked about his relationship with his dad, being made fun of as a child, and his sexuality. I was surprised that he was comfortable enough with Oprah to talk about those things.

What was shocking about that interview was that he was able to maintain his composure when asked about the status of his child. He blatantly lied about it. Poor old Mayte confused

Good shocking - the fact that he opened up the sound checks to NPGMC members, teh fact that some of his older stuff can be forgotten and rediscovered do beautifuly in his huge back catalogue

Bad shocking - his total and utter arrogance at a time when his career was/is in the pits, the way NPGMC was allowed to be run (whether he had a hand in teh day to day running or not the NPGMC WAS him and he WAS NPGMC), his cant be arsed attitude to his music in recent years.

At what point did he REALLY becoem bad shocking for me....hmmmm, perhaps when NPGMC opened as it was a barrier to hide behind for him

The part in Alex Hahn's book about Jesse being physically restrained by the bandmembers (Prince's orders) Just really shocked me... Don't know if it's true or not... but I couldn't see Prince the same way after reading that.

At Paisley Park Studios on Saturday, November 11, 1995, Mayte is sitting on stage next to Prince wearing a white dress and red four inch heels and that diamond ring on her left hand nearly blinded my ass. I said out loud, "What the F! is that?!!!!"

I knew what it was for, but the other women around me said, "He always give his women diamond rings." Three months and four days later, my WTF predictions became a reality.

Mayte just did the most damage, to his carrer. Everything that changed for the worse in the 90's happened when she was around. He stopped singing about sex (he still does,but not like the80's) ,she was EVERYWHERE, like those damn "HEAD ON" commercials.


makes me wonder if he would OJ this wife? evillol

wow, word? that is my (sometime) favorite album of his.

Prince's most shocking shit is that slave/lollipop/pale-faced/cane mess era for me.
Mayte did not ruin Prince's career. If anything he prevented hers from ever getting off the ground.
He ruined his own shit.
he was in a downward spiral before she joined in... ahem *game boyz* - how is that shit her fault?

And as far as his singing about sex; I am tired of his whole "I wanna take my clothes off... but not really. I mean I do, but no I don't. I just wanna make you think I wanna take your clothes off I mean my clothes, I mean.. no I don't wanna go to hell" back n forth. wow. i am in a bad mood.

Shocked - Stock Aitken Waterman


Tell me I'm only dreaming and I'll believe you
Can't see how this could be true
Surrounded by feelings I hardly recognise
I look for explanations I'm taken by surprise
If you told me yesterday that I could feel this way
I would sure enough call you a liar to your face

Because I'm shocked by the power
(Shocked) ooh
Shocked by the power of love
I was rocked to my very foundations
Shocked by the power, shocked by the power


Maybe this time tomorrow
I'll discover this ain't really real
'Cos it struck me like lightning
Like a bolt out of the blue
Emotions inside me, all over you
I'm high above the Universe, losing track of time
And falling free
I can't believe that you are really mine

Because I'm shocked by the power
(Shocked) ooh
Shocked by the power of love
I was rocked to my very foundations
Shocked by the power, shocked by the power


Shocked, like the lightning from up above
Down from the heavens and it gave me love
From a man who respects me
Loves my mind as well as my body
No retreat and no surrender
Equal to you regardless of gender
Giving me love that is warm and tender
That's why I gotta tell ya

You and I are of the same mind
It seems to me that we're one of a kind
It's true to say that when love is blind
But then true love is so hard to find
You respect me and the things I do
It was meant to be
I was made for you
Open the door to my heart, it's stopped
And I'm shocked....

Because I'm shocked by the power
(Shocked) ooh
Shocked by the power of love
I was rocked to my very foundations
Shocked by the power, shocked by the power

Prince has had his share of WTF moments when he veered left of what this one or that one thought was right. Sometimes he went off the cliff. However, I have to admit that viewed in its entirety, it is one of the things that makes him unique in Pop music. He has never really played it safe. Sometimes I am shocked that he has achieved the level of success that he has, then I am reminded that you cannot deny his amazing, unequaled talent. Although in today's cess pool of talentless wonders it might be a different story.

Still something about Prince remains more cult hero than superstar. Most of the big names have played it safe, dialing into popular trends to stay on the charts and in the news. Prince has hit and miss so many times, that we know that he knows how to do both well. We just never know which one he will do.

I appreciate that he isn't a cookie cutter artist. You really never know what he is going to do. He has the most diverse body of work that I have ever heard. I have my iPod on shuffle and it just amazes me - the number of genres that he's traversed.

Seriously, all joking aside. This is the most shocking thing I've ever seen Prince do. That 1 moment where my jaw just hit the floor was his per4mance on "American Idol". I've never seen him do a single thing more out of character than that. I would have put money on that not happening.
