I remember watching at the time and thinking...there's just no one else like him. He has no time for Holly Johnson, either...

And the "slave" speech.

cheers , i never saw this

wow i've never seen either of these before. thanks!

Why can't Prince wear underwear? I don't need to see the angle of his dangle.

I don t think he appreciated that "I ve had sex with him on the phone" comment.

The 95 speech makes me cringe.

they appear to have erased P's Brit award, for best film soundtrack in 1984/5, from history, (or at least from their list of awards won ?!

sweet acceptance speech tho'.

"All thanks 2 God, goodnight"

I was trying to watch it, but the video came up, "Currently Unavailable." Darn.

Both vids are still there.

I saw the 95 speech on danish tv2, back then....

very cool...

Prince best? Gold experience better..... in concert perfectly free, on record slave....

that made sense to me back then...

- and to see Prince actually win best international male in 95,

super cool.....

the gold outfit and black shades, just wow.

i'm surprised he didn't just walk out of the building after
that cringe worthy introduction at the 1985 awards.

"we've had sex on the phone"

IstenSzek said:

Yea...Its hard for Prince to look angry, but he did look a little pissed that night.

ConsciousContact said:

Nor do I think he appreciated that "some of his records have been banned for being explicit." Prince was PISSED!

what a difference a decade makes...

and I don't care what anyone says, in '95 that fool was high

By looking at his competition in 95 – I’d be embarrassed if Prince didn’t win that award.

Although it would have been nice to Luther win.

Thanks for this. I hadn't seen the 1993 one that Cher accepts on his behalf. Pretty sweet.

:fall-the-fuck-off:

Yeh, what a way to have your award presented to you!! Especially when people question your sexuality because of your fashion sense! Nowadays that would have caused a bigger uproar.

I've always thought that in the 1995 speech he must have thought "Slave" was written on the other cheek. Am I the only one to have noticed that??

(D')

He won in '92 too http://www.brits.co.uk/vi...ist-prince

That was too cute,

oh my god, the "slave" speech.

I remember being shamefaced embarrassed at watching that show with friends who knew I was a Prince fan. The guy came across like a drugged up retard!!!

^ why were you embarrassed???


I think the slave speech was cool



and it gave Prince a rare front page on New Musical Express:




"Prince best? the Gold experience better..... in concert perfectly free, on record slave.... Peace. Thank U..."

that made sense to me back then... and he looked good that night.
