Why would you not believe Michael Bland anyways? Are you daft?

My ears speak louder than Mike's words. I trust them.

What - like Michael Bland was there all the time? And his memory is perfect?

I'm sorry - but even the people around Prince don't know everything he does. Michael B. may have heard Rosie scream. But until I hear from Prince, himself, I'm not going to believe that's the one he used.

Graycap23 said:

Idiotic logic like that is what gives people the motivation to kill because "it's the word of God." Granted this isn't anywhere near that serious...

Gohi said:

Talk about idiotic logic.

Mike B is a good authority on what happened then, true, but I have heard other musicians who didn't know as much as their fans. It's not a dig at them, either, they don't geek out on the facts as much as fans do.

There are a lot of possibilities. Maybe there is a version with Rosie. Maybe it is Rosie on the record. Maybe Rosie did it when they played it live...

NDRU said:

That's a good point. Plenty of musicians can be pretty clueless about things they speak out on.

And my logic was perfectly sound. Sorry it went over your guys' heads.

Gohi said:

No, it wasn't.

People who kill in the belief that "it's the word of God" are either being told that by somebody else. Or they're crazy.

Which are you?

Rosie personally told me it was her.

^ she was joking, it's definately PRINCE

NelsonR said:

^ That is nasty

nayroo2002 said:

I doubt he will. I reckon he's pissed off Prince big time with being so candid.

this thread is leading to no where / now here

Genesia said:

The latter.

The opening scream sounds like Rosie going "Whaaaaatchaaaaaiiiiiaaiiiii" with Prince finishing with aaah aahh ahhh ah ahh ah part.

And to the person earlier in the thread that thought this made him hate the song... woah! To me it's the BEST element of the song.

And also, it's the sample used in what hip-hop song?

ass said:

actually I could maybe hear this, first note Rosie, second Prince

NDRU said:

this is exactly what i hear

My 30+ years of listening to Prince tells me it's Prince, not Rosie. And u won't convince me otherwise

SHOCKADELICA1 said:

Even if Prince himself told you it was her?

Lawd.


IT IS ROSIE.




Listen closely, put that thing on repeat. Listen to the ending of that scream. You can clearly hear Rosie's voice. Damn it!

The ending of the scream sounds like Rosie to me as well

Dave1992 said:

Put it on repeat? Honey, I've listened to that track at least once a week (on average) since 1991. You do the math.

I have never heard anyone but Prince.

ufoclub said:

Nope. I'd have to be standin in front of Rosie herself and witness it myself comin outta Rosie's mouth before I believed it.

SHOCKADELICA1 said:

Damn...y'all some deaf ass MF's in here.....listen to the end real closely....

IT IS ROSIE!!!!!
