Prince's Worst Promo Videos?

We all know that Music videos is not Prince's specialty. I was watching the video for Dolphin last night and was just thinking of how lame it looked. All hes doing is just sittin on the bed and lip synching. So in your opinion what are some of the worst Vids that Prince has made?

Te Amo Cortisone is horrible.
If prince.org were to be made idiot proof, someone would just invent a better idiot.

Oh. That's a really bad one too. But the song has a lot to do with it's stinkyness. It's sooooo repetitive.

I always kinda liked Dolphin. It's nothing groundbreaking or spectacular, but it's not bad at all IMO. Here are my stinkers:

*Chocolate Box
*the Daisy Chain (though the footage of him playing basketball towards the end is great!)
*Any of the Gett Off maxi single videos (but not Gett Off. I like that vid)
*Let's Pretend We're Married
*Chelsea Rodgers
*When I Lay My Hands On U

The video for dolphin is so cool, because it was shot in one take. I absolutely love it.

the worst ones are his best ones because they're so amateurish and funny.


most of the ones some real money and talent were put into are dull as hell.

I love most of Prince's videos from Controversy to Dinner With Delores 1981 > 1996.

The Holy River, Come On, Fury, those are bad imo.

Those from Dirty Mind 1980 in bikini briefs are pretty embarrassing too.

imo. wink

When Doves Cry. Yeah, perfect song, but the video is so lazy; cheap cuts to movie clips and an ugly split/mirror effect over the good part are what ruin it.

yeah I don't know what's up with Prince, a man who's created the finest music on earth but barely has no videos doing them justice.
Funny how in today's music scene it's the other way around.
His best in my opinion is Purple Rain and Scandalous. A plain raw format with nothing but his talent on camera is when magic strikes. But as soon as the effects and over production starts rolling in, it looses it.
"Not to sound cosmic, but I've made plans for the next 3,000 years," he says. "Before, it was only three days at a time."
