Hello! Eye'm back briefly from my spiritual journey to make a quick review. Eye LOVED the video! Eye only have one complaint(yes KCOOL has a complaint about a Prince "MasterPiece" video!). Eye feel Janet Jackson and her then Choreographer Tina Landon should be credited as a inspiration. Because this heavily borrows from Janet's "That's the way Love Goes" & "if" videos. Daniel Curiel although young & beautiful wardrobe and hair is almost identical as Janet's in those videos. Eye don't fault Prince! Because he was not in the video. Plus the Jw's wouldn't have approved of its "sexual content" for him to make an appearance. But the lookalike(who looks just like Andy who I saw and apologized to last week)was a brilliant idea. Other than that minor mishap. Eye thought it was a very well done video! Kudos to The TwinZ also. Very good casting they did!

You've GOT to be fucking kidding me ...only on Prince.org.

No, Im not fucking kidding. The majority rule is that the video is utter crap.

ONLY on Prince.org lol ...I learned a loooooong time ago that paying attention to 95% of anything said on this site about a new Prince single/CD/video is a waste of time and energy. Go check the votes on youtube and the write-ups on various media outlets. The "Majority rule" in those cases are overwhelming positive. Seriously...if anyone wants to better enjoy anything Prince puts out, step as far away from review threads on prince.org as possible lol...you may still not like it but the lunacy overload (both positive and negative) from fans doesn't dilute the experience.

I'm not crazy about the video, but Prince has put out a shitload worse in his career. Holy River and Fury absolutely blow...and there were a ton of his cringe-inducing 90s videos that make this one look like a Scorsese film .

The production values are terrific, the choreography is actually pretty good, and I'm hella thankful that Prince isn't in the video (he should stay out of more videos imo). It's a bit too Janet Jackson-ish for my tastes (and most of her videos where all about the dancing, not adhering to the "story" of the song).

I can't believe he never put dark skinned people in the videos..probably we aren't rememberin'.. I'm thinking..

"Black Sweat", "Violet The Organ Grinder", "Gett Off", "Greatest Romance Ever Sold", "Fury", "Betcha By Gollywow" are videos where dark skinned people were prominently in the video. I don't think Prince owes it to anyone to case dark skinned love interests in his videos.

prom·i·nent

[prom-uh-nuhnt] Show IPA

adjective

1.

standing out so as to be seen easily; conspicuous; particularlynoticeable: Her eyes are her most prominent feature.

2.

standing out beyond the adjacent surface or line; projecting.

3.

leading, important, or well-known: a prominent citizen.

NoT!!!

......ok ..I'll let 'Black Sweat' slide ONLY because she was the only chick in the video and oh by

the way he was mostly 'trying' to ignore her and giving crazy facial expressions...In most of his videos

he usually sweating the chicks, not ignoring them.....haha...NeXt... nice try..

It's his prerogative

What's disturbing about it?

Oh god that Alvin the chipmunk voice...

Hopefully this means more uploads coming to the prince-vevo youtube page.

I saw a link to the video on Twitter and because it was so cheap looking and there was no Prince besides a look-alike I honestly thought it was fan made. That can't be a good sign when I think a official video is fan produced.

Plus I really really didn't like the song.

When I found out this chick is 18, my first thought was, "I wonder if Prince is sitting back somewhere saying, 'Yeah, I got a chick 40 years younger than me! I'm the man..."

THAT is what is possibly disturbing about this.

The only real question any fan should have about this is did he do the nasty with her while she was made up as him?

It's not the music that's boring. It's all the stuff going on that doesn't jive with the song like hot girls, hot outfits (& bondage?) & hot dance moves. I find it distracting and not in sync with the meaning and flow of the song. The song isn't boring. It's the distractions that don't jive with the mood & the music that are boring. Like I said previously, the girls, outfits, dance moves have been done, redone & overdone.

The song is boring as hell. It is Prince doing yet another "this will do" track. I wouldn't be surprised if it is a "bland funky popsong" preset on some keyboard. (Yes people, he has done that before. He has also sampled other people's music and he has appropriated other people's songs without their consent.)

If anyone thinks this is going to be big: good luck with that, and see your doctor for those ongoing delusions. The video starts off awfully: oh look, a girl cooking breakfast -- they could not even be arsed to reverse the archetypical roles. And then it turns into some lame-ass mix between an ancient Janet Jackson video with some untalented Pussycat Dolls-rejects.

And there are the references to a ten year old Dave Chappelle sketch. A real hip & fly guy, that Princey dude.

And after three minutes that stupid high-pitched voice comes in. No doubt regarded as "edgy" by plenty of famz. It isn't.

The video also looks awfully cheap. The location, the dancers, the editing, the colors... All of it is just so tacky and pedestrian. That it has a title sequence and a credit sequence is just baffling.

Oh, and let's not forget this is a song about a 50+ year old man macking on young girls. Not creepy at all. No sir.

Whilst I agree with some of your points good sir, if you listen carefully, this song is a reworking of Come On. Get it right!

Prince fans. Always in the balcony. Never on the stage.

Anyway, I thought the video was pretty good. You can tell they were working with a small budget, but it looked professional. Its cool that he gave an opportunity to an 18 year old to direct the video. How often does that happen? Its nothing wrong with Prince trying to reach a younger market. I mean seriously, who wants to target the grumpy, old fart market?

We really arent disagreeing on much. The problem is you picked a random comment that disagreed with your own to vessel all your self imposed hype of what really is a tasteless, shit video. I agree about certain things you said but for your info brother, Ive peeped it on the social medias and the MAJORITY still is negative. The only people who seem impressed are the uneducated youth that Prince is so pathetically trying to impress. The point is hes trying to stay relevant. This isnt exclusive banter just coming from the org. Ive read comment after comment saying the same thing elsewhere. Let me level with you though and say, that I usually am VERY positive about his releases. I like this track, NOT the awful, wanna-be Janet Jackson cabbage patch kids trying to creatively express a grown and sexy track. Bring back Mayte for all I care because from what I see its a lame, weak dancing, confusing video.

You "peeped" in on "social medias"? lol...I'm guessing that means places like twitter, facebook and? If so, that social nonsense is just another form of message board blather like we have here on p.org. Please tell me you're not using THAT to validate any of your arguments.

I'll repeat what I said earlier: check out the voting on youtube for the video and check out what MEDIA OUTLETS are saying. You've yet to comment on either (or do either, I'm guessing).

In fact, what the hell, I'll do it for you

Yep. That's what life is about. Giving the young the opportunity. Someone gave young Prince himself a shot at a young age too. It is alwasy cool to see people not forget that as they go through life. That is also why I respect the man too. With the young Third Eye Girls as well as older artists like Maceo and Chacka he has gave props to. People forget it's about people. Passing it on.

There's no sign of Dave Chappelle, but there's a Chipmunk (unclear which one), pancakes and a slew of dancers dressed in black a la Catwoman (Michelle Pfeiffer's version) in Prince's Breakfast Can Wait video.

There's no sign of Prince, either. Chappelle dressed up like him for the satrical lyric video. Who knew Prince had a sense of humor? The official one, out on Vevo now, stars the director of the video, 18-year old Danielle Curiel, plays a decidedly sexier version of the purple superstar. Who is she? Prince's new protege, it seems. He gave her artistic freedom of the video when he read her proposal for it.

About halfway through the video, one of the Chipmunks chimes in. You have to see it to understand.

Prince, who recently joined the social media wagon, has been drumming up interest in new music, recorded with his 21-piece supergroup The New Power Generation and rock band, 3RDEYEGIRL. Although a release date has yet to be confirmed, the tentatively named Plectrum Electrum, is due out in Jan. 2014.

Due out in January 2014!? LOLZ

After waiting nearly a year, this is quite funny. (And sad).

2013 will be big? and now 2014 will be big?
