Diamonds and Pearls

Hey Guys im back! biggrin lol

I just got done watching the Diamonds and Pearls music video for the first time and all I have to say is love Prince was looking hot and sexy all throughout the video! I loved his hair! love

Anyways beside from that, Diamonds and Pearls is one of my most favorite Prince songs ever. The music, the lyrics everything about it is beautiful even the video. I really like Rosie Gaines vocals throughout the song and even most Prince songs in which shes featured. Shes an amazing vocalist as well as keyboardist.

But anyways I really liked this music video. Mostly because Prince looked good in it. lol lol but now I can see why Nurse likes this video so much giggle so anybody.....wanna.... chime in I guess? anyone? boxed sorry im bad at writing reviews boxed

So it was basically just a visual thing for you? Nothing about the music at all, except the one title track? Nothing about the interviews, the live footage, the news reels. Just his hair?

Have you ever watched the whole Diamonds and Pearls Video Collection? I'm not clear on if you saw just the video, or the whole collection that was released. The DVD is out.

I think I would be concerned if I was a parent, if Prince and Rosie just started chillin at the daycare.

I also love it when Rosie wails in the kids faces.

I know it's a great song, one of my favorites. I could listen to it for hours. The video is kinda weird but it's still good.

vitriol

After years in this 'business' I've come to elaborate a theory regarding Prince's female fans. They split into 2 main cathegories:

There are those who think they like his music because they really like Prince physically and there are those who think they really like Prince physically because they like his music.

Does anyone have a screen cap of a few seconds after this where the bubble passes in front of his nose and makes him look like a clown? Makes me giggle every time I see it... but that's because I'm a big kid! haha

blah blah blah

She continued to make music on her own, releasing a few albums. She also worked with Prince again (and never really got paid - because that's how Prince operates) on Chaos & Disorder, Emancipation, 1999: The New Master, and Rave Un2 The Year 2000 DVD. She also had a song, "Hit U In the Socket" that Prince put out on NPGMC 2001, but an album on NPG records never happened. She finally left working with/for Prince after built up frustration with him saying one thing and doing another.

Agreed. In the context it was used in here, I don't think it was relevant.

But I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say that Prince loves children and (possibly) had a secret desire to be a dad.

Who knows? shrug

I forget the ladies name, but wasn't he doing things for the teacher and that school around that time or maybe it was during the beautiful experience? Anyway, like you said I think he just likes kids smile

They're talking about the video only not the collection. Now the whole DVD is a must see. I have a fondness for the Willing and Able vid and the live performance of Thunder. With NPG, Prince definitely upped the quality of his videos...they actually became little movies and works of art versus playing around on an empty sound stage.

Song was way before his child wink It's just a sweet song which Prince and Rosie sung the hell out of cool The song has always touched me just for the sentiment "all I can do is offer you my love" he can't give you riches, just his love. Beautiful. Also, when Prince say "this will be the day you will hear me say I will NEVER run away" I just melt lol
