I have to disagree Videos with just words are boring! Yes,I get what Prince was trying to do (keep the focus on the lyrics with no distractions) but those types of videos aren't fun to watch.

But a song such as SOTT needed a video the way it was made, if it had been Prince jumping around shaking his ass it could have made the song content meaningless.

It might have a funky groove, but i don't think the intention was to make the song fun.

Just my opinion.

I think he could have done an amazing video for that song.No,not alot of dancing and jumping around (lol),but a serious,profound video with interesting footage.

You have a point, maybe using news footage for example.

There it is!

ahh yess

one of the worst

Yeah it's awful... a plain black screen with karaoke style lyrics, it wouldn't be so bad if they'd actually got the lyrics correct!

The Dirty Mind videos......

the bikini outfit... yuck.

I love Alphabet Street. Very Sexy.

Those are Tora Tora clips

(they still suck )

I really dislike the video for Gett Off, the shots are bad, editing is bad, the wardrobe is bad, the set is bad, the performance is boring...

but I think Cream was a great video from the same collection. Good shots, editing, wardrobe, set, etc

Raspberry Beret is the worst. It looks cheap and very amateurish. His Liza Minelli hair is painful to watch. Brown Mark looked like a halloween drag queen. Wendy looked her usual scrub self. Bobby Z was apparently starting to get rotund. The dancers were wack except for that one asian girl.

I can find no fault with anything where Robia La Morte is involved...

All of his videos are just bad.

"Black Sweat" has redeemable qualities because it features his sense of humor and his refined newer style. "Kiss" is okay because it really sort of encapsulates the whole Revolution vibe by summing it up in the scene where he kisses Wendy. "The One" isn't terrible because Mayte really made much better use of the small resources on the PP soundstage whereas Prince never quite could make the sets not look cheap and tacky. "Betcha By Golly Wow" gets a pass only because it looks modern and the special effects aren't super atrocious (see: Raspberry Beret, 7).

That's about it. The man really has a hard time creating motion picture art. He's okay with his own image and his set designs on tour, but he does not translate well to film of any kind.

When 2 R in love & Sign o' the times. Just words, boring.

Sign O' The Times is the worst

Any Prince video that doesnt feature Prince has to be the worst Prince video

The post was probably meant to implicitly say they are all equally bad

Because I want to? Why would you even ask that question?
