All these years later and I only just stumbled across this car crash of an interview tonight. How the hell did I not know of it before now? It's absolutely cringeworthy, brilliant in its absolute crapness...and it's not even Prince's fault!

Part 1:

Part 2:

I imagine her work day most likely ended with her crying in the bathroom banging her head against the wall and the crew trying to coax her out with some schnitzel.

So...thoughts? Do chime in

Note to mods:

Unsure if this is inside the TOS, please feel free to remove links if not. Fellow orgers, go to youtube and search for: "Prince vs Charlotte Roche" if links need to be removed.

Why is she acting like a dumb fan girl?

haha! kinda feel bad 4 prince....having to even b there.

love you prince! o(+>

Prince said it best...."this segment was boring."

And also when asked what the fans can look forward to from him..."they should worry about their own lives."

This clip should be played in journalism schools around the world with what not to do in an interview.

Despite how annoying she was, I didn't really find the interview boring (after the perfunctory name-change talk.) I enjoyed his answers.

wasvshe on crack or something?

well i know what prince would ask me if i ever met him

DID THAT HURT??

It wasn't just the awkward interview, the weird dutch angles they used where not pleasing lol

"The best guest I have ever had in my life"...... Yeah, and probably the last based on your performance!

that was hilarious

poor prince seemed to be really trying to be nice but it just spiralled down to crazy land...so many cringe worthy moments in one 15 min interview

No jus..... are the fools

WoW, that was painful to watch. You an tell he had to be real patient with this one

Vegan deals with dietary means, not clothing.

I guess... this is one of the reasons why he doesn't do upfront nterviews pretty tough

She didn't do much better with Madonna

omg I remember the first time I saw this.

It's the worst Piece O' Crap I've ever seen!

I think she made him a lil uncomfortable, and when she dropped the CD I could just imagine P thinkin;

"HEEEEEEEEELL NAW!"

It's just sad...so sad! lord.

I have to hand it to Prince at the time. He stuck with his symbol name change decision far longer than most mere mortals could. He must really crave awkward moments. The first couple of times an interview started with that name change mess most people would have cracked and said its a joke, and said "fuck it, my name is Prince ok, Its a joke".

Either he craves really awkward moments or he really was doing heavy drugs at the time like I have always suspected. "1999 The New Master" does not get released by someone not completely and utterly f*cked up out of his mind.

wait she's dutch? dutch tv?oh crap i hear i'm part dutch. ain't pot legal there? that's it. she's totally stoned outta her fucking gourd. and nervous

Okay they got through that 1 or rather he did but got 2 give it 2 him he was cool about it and the interview as 4 her practice makes perfect!

This isn't dutch tv, It's German TV...

But yeah pot is legal here in Holland

yeah i thought i was german tv! i felt bad for my dutch ancestors for a second there...

Aww, she's so cute!

I disliked whoever was operating that damn camera - fool had me leaning my head from side to side all the way through!

Please tell me she was high when doing this interview.

P was kewl, but she was

My first thought... Prince was waaaayyy overdressed for cable access.

i must admit that is thee worst interviewer i have ever saw....she is like a girl they have pulled off the street and asked her to interview him....bit sad watching it as prince looks like he's thinking...wtf ?.....he looks like a gypsy who has taken a wrong turn at the funfair and ended up in there ?.....i think prince was a bit lost in this period....his marriage had broken up by this stage and the personnal tragedy he went through hit him hard which let to the jw phase and the rainbow children album....

some up to date news from that girl... seems you can get to have sex with her if you're able to block some nuclear legislation in Germany....

Roche is a star German television presenter and has won a number of journalism awards.

...

not for this interview I suppose

I love watching it as a guilty pleasure. It's so cringe worthy the way she say's "sexy viewers"

It's kinda sweet that she's obviously in aw of him

the coolest part of this interview? definitely the alternating camera angles. really spices things up.

jfyi: Charlotte Roche's first (!) book Feuchtgebiete (English: Wetlands) was the world's best-selling novel in March 2008.

the title on these youtube clips should read "Schizophrenia vs. Brain Damage"
