If Prince is reading these comments, steam is probably coming out of his ears and he's saying "this is a perfect song and video!" See, the guy can't take negativity. He's got a little problem with that. One thing is for certain when you listen to Prince music or watch his videos -- Prince may have talent, but his ability to create music or put on a good performance is long, long, long gone. Even watching the 2 DVDs from the London shows... wow. Pitiful. Where's Wendy and Lisa when you need them? I think it's time for Prince to retire.

What did these two ever do to enhance a video or even a concert performance?

Umm... maybe make beautiful music instead of just being a pawn of Prince like his current, wacko band? Grandma Shelby aka the replacement for Tamar.

...The only thing I didn't care for were the ultra boney, generic looking real models that happened to be used at the the actual fashion show....

Was the vid shot on a shoestring budget? It's complete and utter garbage.

That's what happens when you shoot at someone else's event. There's little room to orchestrate so you have to creatively plan around that. Now what shoulda happin was: Prince shoulda rented a soundstage and a Disco ball, then put out a call to all orgers to come in their 70's best to fill the audience and maybe even the runway...'cause there's a lot of good looking org people that would have turned that show into the disco it was supposed to be.

But the didn't happen.

I'm kidding, the models were fine but they don't really fit the aesthetic you would expect for that song. It's a party song.

I feel Prince was a bit nervous in the video, he seemed afraid that some fanatic (yep, someone just like one of us ) would jump out of the audience and pin him down I do feel his plight! (some fans are so annoying )
In this video he should forget about who is around him (snooty fashionistas) and concentrate on the girl who inspired this song - beautiful Chelsea Rodgers

since when have "party" songs not had models in 'em?

it's really an 80s kinda thing. makes me think of Duran Duran. they would have shot a video at a fashion show, back in the day... did they ever?

You're talking song writing skills these two didn't do jack to enhanace the actual concert/video viewing experience. Hell, Wendy could barely stay on key while singing.

We were talking a particular type model...not models in general. It was a response to Ifsixwuz9's comment about the emaciated model...you know the kind that don't appear to have the energy to dance if they wanted to.

I thought the models were fine (these weren't as thin as some), but if the fashion show were recreated for a video shoot, I probably wouldn't pick those girls first. Mainly because of the way they clash with Chelsea and the Twins. They're two different looks. Both are fine but one almost makes the other look wrong.

Now that's an idea that would probably never happen.

OK, I see... too many comments on this thread for me. Aesthetics are my thing.

But how memorable were those other chicks? I can't for the life of me picture them in my head...

I do, however, remember the twins and their purple tent things, and Chelsea looking beautiful and stately... so for me, I guess, it was effective and the others were just some sort of generic models.

Like this lady?



Prince has an "Ooooh shit!" look on his face.

Heiress said:

You're not supposed to remember the models, you remember their clothes...that's why they walk and look the way they do. Still, how could you not remember the Twins? That's all in the edit. If the models were featured, you would remember them too. Being remembered isn't always a good thing, you know. I can't get the Twins walk out of my head and I really want it to go away.

See, they WANT us to remember the twins... as for the other models, it's just as you said - I remember the clothes, and not the girls.

And you're right, that wasn't the Twinz best look...

But I guess it was Chelsea & the Twinz they wanted us to take away from the show.

That's true too, but a part of me doesn't even care how much play it gets or if people like it. P is coasting, this is shit he can do in his sleep. He needs to push himself again. I'm so sick of sales & Verizon & the gat dayum twinz I just want the next one to stay in my player for longer than ONE DAY I need my ass kicked, he needs to put them boots in action - gimme some heel-shaped wounds already, just make 'em DEEP

Was that in Vegas???

PurpleJedi said:

I'm not sure, to be honest.

psychodelicide said:

It was in London--but not at the O2--it was some short notice exclusive concert right after they announced the 21 Nights thing. I can't remember the name of the venue....
