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. hmph!


highfive


I bet if Rosie said it was her, then Prince said it was her, then they produced a video of the exact moment in the studio that the scream was recorded showing Rosie, you would both still swear it was Prince!

When I said she would have to be in front of me, I don't mean in a video. Videos can be manipulated. biggrin

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!


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.


You may be one overtly sexual, funny and wonderful lady, but you are deaf!

Prince doesn't scream like that. When he screams he never, I say never, uses his falsetto to do the vibrato. He always does it by simply changing the calibre of his throat/"nodding" (- something professional singers usually don't do), which adds to that compressed sound. Furthermore, as I pointed out earlier, Prince never wheezes at the end of a scream, because his screams are compressed differently than Rosie's. She screams with her chest voice, letting the falsetto do the vibrato, but Prince simply compresses it all in his throat - therefore there would be no need to "wheeze" afterwards, as Rosie always has to.

Gen, honey, believe me. I know what I'm talking about.

Michael B!

There's a huge debate on Housequake about the opening scream to Gett Off. On Rosie's Myspace page she says she did it. But all these people are SWEARING up and down it's Prince. I don't see why it's being debated if Rosie said she did it, but do you know forsure who did the scream? Thanks in advance!!!

Let's face it. We all do that scream when Gett Off comes on and I'll bet some of us do a damn good job.

We also all do the "Dearly Beloved" monologue during Let's Go Crazy. We have to. It's pre-programmed into our brains.

We need the bootleg recording of the scream's origin! (Kind of like the beginning of Acknowledge Me is on The Line, right?)

Personally I believe it to be Rosie (if actual people involved in the recording said it was Rosie). Even back in 1992, I thought I had never heard that kind of tone to Prince's scream, and have not since. But I have heard Rosie get into that range somewhere back in all that music.

Im more prone to rosie due to your mention for the first note but the 'closing' of the scream sounds princey
