Hands down the first MTV interview in '85. He was so hilarious and witty and quick...he just came across so lovable and playful in it you couldn't help but want to be his friend because he seemed like killer company! I'm sure fans in '85 were so excitied to hear him speak and awnser questions for the first time.

I am sure I haven't seen them all (I know -- sacreligious!) but I am particularly fond of his interview with Oprah when he was with Mayte. The man exudes love for Mayte and it is the sweetest most honest thing I've ever seen.

That's hard to say but I do think Oprah too, he was so sweet!

I loved them all

Ellen interview..stands out as a classic! the boxer shorts

and there was that one in Toronto, where he sang DMSR at the end and I think he was wearing sneakers that one too!

I know....

I like the radio interview with Tom Joyner in the morning. He talked about the song he did with Stevie Wonder "What The Fuss" and made jokes here and there. It was hilarious, he's a funny lil' guy.

Yeah I loved the Ellen interview.

QUICK?!!?!?

he was anything BUT quick in that interview,lol

it took him 4 minutes to get each line out.
thinkin too hard i guess,lol

i lik the 1986 birthday interview wit that MOJO guy....he was honest and open.
mojo was kinda a stiff interviewer....

Prince was oh-so-sweet in that Oprah interview.I now know the true meaning of Prince Charming.Absolutely "adore"-able!

That interview was really cute and it was funny yeah I was feelin that. But unfortunately most of them I've never seen

No idea... I've seen so many of them. Housequake's been gone 4 a week... I wish I could see the Oprah one again, I've only seen it once a month or two ago.

I'd say the interview with Mel B. (aka: Scary Spice)... he seemed so relaxed in that one.

The one with Mel. B

The one where he shuts up..lol

When did Mel B interview him and why?

scriptgirl said:

I think it was 1998

and I don't know why. I think he was trying to promote "Newpower Soul" at the time, that's all I know.

Do you know what show it was for? Was it done in England?

scriptgirl said:

No idea.

And by it was done at Paisley Park as far as I could tell. There's a picture from that interview where Prince is sitting on a swing and Mel B. is standing by him on the thread titled "Let's discuss this picture".

Larry King, Sinbad, Tom Joyner, Mel B, and the one he ate the cracker.

RosesRred said:

Larry King was definitely a good one.

and yeah, in that one, he said he didn't have breakfast. It was at GMA from 1998.

babooshleeky said:

yes thats my favorite one too. i got home early just to tape it

lovesexy04 said:

So honest he lied about his child?

viewaskew said:

i wouldnt call it lying,i'm sure he felt that people had no right in the situation and was probably in a state of denial anyways, it couldnt of been a easy subject to talk about anyways let alone on tv

Larry King interview 1999
Oprah 1996
The Electrifying Mojo 1986
The one on Australian TV in 2003 or 2004

And most of the time he really comes across great and in a good mood when he´s on Jay Leno.

And that Ellen interview was also nice.

Ellen

I'm pretty sure it was 2003.

It was my very first interview of his... and it was just amazing to me. I had no idea what kind of person he was until I saw it. Simply incredible.

DaisyHall said:

That was a strange video. He kept twirling something circular in his hands during the interview.
His response in the word association game to "jewelry" was "Jew".
"Romeo, Romeo, let down your hair"....Wait! it's Rapunzel.

babooshleeky said:

I just saw part of the Oprah one again...

I was on the edge of tears toward the end. Prince (at the time, ) was saying that in 10 years, he was going to have kids crawling all over him.

But his future didn't come out that way... it's 10 years later... it's so sad.

At the time, though, he just looked so happy and enlightened. He seems so different now. That same happiness isn't in his eyes, but he seems happier now than he did in the 80's and early 90's.

I was moved by the O interview at the time, but didn't know then what I know now. Why go ahead with an interview with someone like her if you're not going to be at all honest? I thought it was funny how even O, the queen of interviews, came up confused at certain points. "we don't know if they're male or female yet", etc.

That 1985 MTV interview was just painfully strange, but I love it anyway. I remember watching that when it aired- had to go to my sister's house since my town didn't even have cable yet- both her and my bf were just like, WTF is wrong with him? While I sat with my jaw dropped telling them to shut up.

My favorites? Mojo in 1986 ranks really, really high. And I love the 1985 Rolling Stone interview, by Neil Karlen.
