i liked The Dance when it was first released through the npgmc on The Chocolate Invasion. that version is lightyears better than the new overdone kitschy song he turned it into. bad move imo. I prefer the sound of the original version as well | |

Nothing - nothing - will ever recapture The Beautiful Ones. Nothing. Did I say nothing? That's right - nothing.
What you hear at the end of The Dance is not passion - it is anguish. We don’t mourn artists because we knew them. We mourn them because they helped us know ourselves. | |

Really an impossible choice because I absolutely adore both songs! If forced to choose though then I'd have to go with "The Word". [Edited 3/4/08 20:56pm] "And When The Groove Is Dead And Gone, You Know That Love Survives, So We Can Rock Forever" RIP MJ
"Baby, that was much too fast"...Goodnight dear sweet Prince. I'll love you always | |

"The Word" -- easily in my Top 10 favs from Prince
"The Dance" -- nowhere near Top 100 | |

He didn't even come close to it...  | |

What you hear at the end of The Dance is not passion - it is anguish. well at least it passionate anguish. And if you were with me tonight,

He just messed up The Dance with all those stupid plastic sounding percussions and the mish-mash ending... Just can't listen to it... 
The Word is just perfect apart from the digital sax hook... i am in love with the sax hook...my choice is the word of course, beautifully sung too  | |

"The Word" is a radio song; it could be a hit.
"The Dance" is a fan favorite... Apples & oranges, I say. | |

THESE ARE PRINCE'S CHILDREN. HOW DO YOU PICK A "BETTER" CHILD. THEY ARE DIFFERENT AND BOTH HAVE STRENGTHS AND WEAKNESSES BUT YOU LOVE THEM WITH THE SAME HEART FILLED WITH LOVE
THEY ARE DIFFERENT MESSAGES FROM DIFFERENT TIMES AND EVENTS AND ARE BY ME BOTH ENJOYED AND APPRECIATED GREATLY

Hands down, The Dance...because of the end.
"I can find another just like U anywhere. Baby They may not have ur hips girl, or all that pretty hair But at least they won't spend all day in the mirror Trying to find something 2 wear At least they won't want to make love like u do On the stairs Against the pole On the north side of the.... Aww, baby, baby...it's not fair!" And then, that great scream at the end. I love Prince's hissy fits.   Prince Rogers Nelson

While making love on stairs sounds painful...I think the point was that there wasn't anything wrong with it. He was just so...crazy right there that he was saying everything about her. I remember one time one of my friends made a list of what she hated about her ex and one of the things was "He's mexican" and SHE'S mexican to...so... | |

Yeah, he was crazy in love with that girl and was just saying stuff to say it, even though he knows that he won't be able to find another girl like her. He's pissed off, bitter, and sad all at the same time...guess that explains the scream at the end.  Prince Rogers Nelson

The Word offers a trip up the ladder to find salvation.
The Dance challenges the heart and asks for salvation. I like both but The Word is uplifting each and every time. | |
