He seems to love singing this live - and always does it really well and makes it feel like an anthem! It's very inspiring and has a really uplifting feel about it. yeah with that feeling is what made me enjoy it very much | |

not the only one. First time i heard Purple rain and everybody was goin crazy over it i just didnt understand but now i love it. Most of his mainstream songs like kiss, 1999 and sign o the times I was never into Kiss, but I love that Live version on Rave DVD. "When Michael Jackson is just singing and dancing, you just think this is an astonishing talent. And he has had this astounding talent all his life, but we want him to be floored as well. We really don´t like the idea that he could have it all." | |

Reflection..until i saw taavis smiley performance.
and Love from 3121..is the jam!! Prince did an interview with a woman at Record World. They talked about whatever, then he asked her: "Does your pubic hair go up to your navel?" At that moment, we thought maybe we shouldn't encourage him to do interviews. | |

Most of his mainstream songs like kiss, 1999 and sign o the times I love "Purple Rain" but remember being so upset that it was released as a single. I couldn't wait for people to hear "The Beautiful Ones" on the radio instead. What did I know, "Purple Rain" made it to #2 in the States. Some of the songs I had a tough time getting into initially as a young 'un were "Let's Work" and "D.M.S.R." -- now both of those songs are in my top favs. If you ever have a chance, watch the video where Prince drops by Sinbad's show and opens with "Let's Work."  | |

wtf??? I would not dance to Controversy, the first time I heard that in a club I walked off the floor. I think I danced to it maybe twice in 25 years or so. I don't want you to think like me. I just want you to think. |

wtf??? lol that annoyed me too when i heard it, but at least the "people call me rude..etc" part was good enough to let me... I don't know... "forgive" it coz he's just expressing his beliefs... I'm more annoyed when in live shows he becomes obnoxiously preachy by telling the audience they have to love god and Jesus or whatever... he forgets that his fans include Muslims, Jews, Atheists, Buddhists etc.. and they don't like that  coz there is a difference between saying YOU believe in god and TELLING others to believe in god... sorry for being serious here but had to get it off my chest  | |

Housequake - Thought it sounded weird. Repeated listenings and I "got it."
Sexy MF - I thought he lost his mind. When Doves Cry - I thought it was "ugly" sounding. Now I comsider them classics, of course. | |

"The Word" from 3121. Had the album for a while and it never really stood out. Played the album as my driving music one week and I really started diggin' it. | |

If I Was Your Girlfriend - Now it's one of my favorites but at first listen I thought it was too elemental. The bass and groove take away too digest and the brilliance of the lyrics I'm still digesting.
When Dove's Cry - So obtuse and brilliantly strange. Never anything like it on radio and it takes away before your musical brain wraps around it. All The Critics - Initially thought of as a throwaway jam but now I love the cool, quirky, introspective quality of it. Great thread - so much of P's catalog takes a few listens to absorb the brilliance underneath. For example, in my mind Kiss was initially a JB castoff, and know I don't know how he got that sound. I've never seen him recreate it live. | |

Here, there is no one else, no question of his devotion and passion. This song isn't sung to any woman but to a particular woman. The flip side of Adore to me is The Beautiful Ones.

 Peace. Love. Prince | |
