21 NIGHTS - UNDERWHELMING

21 Nights - A bit of a vanity project IMO. Only a couple of pics I really think are nice, I esp.like the one with him on the telephone looking coy (Night 3 of 21).
The rest are too staged/lifeless and there are two many pics of the same thing (chambermaids and the empty stadium).
I notice the opening pic is an airport lounge but think this may have been Prague and not the UK as all the advertisements in the background appear to be in an different language. Some of the chronology is also a bit mixed up, didn't P go to Prague half way through the stint, not just before the end?

There is a bit of an overuse of lens flare IMO and those fashion pictures of the girls looking in the shop window seem just shallow.

The centre bit with the twins - double the trouble/double the fun is a bit corny don't you think?

Some nice pictures of Prince but you don't get a sense of the electric or the excitement of the live performances, it just seems like a glorified fashion shoot, and thats not so cool.

The picture with the Bible and the jewellery is interesting, is he making a comment on a choice between material or spiritual riches or is he trying to meld the two? If so, its not really Biblical!


Not sure who the girl on his bed is near the end (Night 16), is he implying she was a girlfriend there (reading the poetry)? The pic of him and a PA(?) on the roof is nice.

The storyline/message is not very coherent either, just a mishmash and some nice pics of him taken around the time (and in the tourbook) should have been included but weren't.

Like the CD its pretty underwhelming and too obsessed with vanity and fashion.
Not quite sure how this reconciles with his religious beliefs.
