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! [Edited 10/12/13 19:06pm]

i see your spiritual journey is doing you good because you're finally talking instead

of posting those "masterpiece" banners. i don't know why you didn't talk before, as

it's clear that you can post coherent and well thought out stuff

Looking forward the Breakfast Experience:

1. Original Version

2. Grits 'n' Gravy

3. Espresso

4. Honey

5. Butter Milk

Hopefully a similar CD to the Beautiful Experience!

These are all produced by Hannah's husband, Josh, so don't expect a Prince production... more like someone's mixes featuring Prince's vocal tracks.

Jus' Sayin'!

I like the song, but the video is mediocre. I'd rather see him in it instead.

Lawd...what's the fuss people? The video seems to live up to the lyrics of the song. The song is about morning sex, with the 'breakfast can wait' reference. It's a very, sexy video, done with taste and it lives up to the song's title reference. It is much classier and leaves more to the imagination, than Rihanna's latest video 'Pour it up', because it isn't a raunchy video, like Rihanna's vid is. The BCW vid, leaves more to the imagination because the lead dancers aren't stripped down to the bone, but-azz naked to get the message of the song's lyrics across.

Although I agree with others that it was similar to Janet Jackson's 'That's the way love goes' video. Many scenes and dance steps are similar to Janet's vid, but Danielle puts her own touch on it, with her dance moves moreso than Janet did. Janet played it safe, while Danielle took it to the edge, and pretty much dominated the video. The scene where it went from the kitchen to the lead dancer and the dancers, seemed to respresent the sensuality and fantasy of the song's lyrics. I probably would have thought, based on the lyrics, that the lead guy in the video, would have been the one dominating the vid and lyrics reference, but instead, it was cleverly done with the female lead dancer dominating it instead.

Now about the poster on this thread, who brought up Prince not having many brown to dark-skinned females in many of his vids over the years, absolutely no disrespect, and I hear and respect you, but let's be for real, he has had brown to dark-skinned singers, and dancers on stage with him over the years. There has also been quite a few brown to darker-skinned females in some of his vids in the past as well. Also, Damaris Lewis has been the latest dancer for the past 2 years, during some of his tours/concerts, not sure if the poster is aware of that. Besides, regardless of some of society's, stereotypical, and often ignorant views on what determines 'beauty', brown to darker-skinned females value and worth is not determined by Prince or anyone else, it's all about how those women, including myself, value themselves and don't need to depend on societal racism, stereotypical views and ignorance to determine our self-worth/value in this world Anyway, enough about that, but I'm sure tthe poster will get my point.

Again, I thought the video was done in good taste, regardless of the director's age, because at the end of the day, the video is getting a lot of buzz, and so far has received over 270,00 views, so the director/choreograhers must have done something right.

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.

If people would stop assuming he sticks his dick in every pussy that crosses his path, it wouldn't be disturbing. What's disturbing is people assuming he fucks every attractive woman he encounters. Don't fantasize about HIM and then damn the fantasy...

Yeah, I'm not getting those who keep insisting that the video has "nothing" to do with the song lol...as the Huffington Post said about the video, "Prince wants you to know that, if you're feeling kinky early in the morning, breakfast can wait. That's the message in his new video for, well, "Breakfast Can Wait." ...If the freakin' Huffington Post can get the connection, how the hell can Prince fans not do so? Hell, even that part around the table was like a choreographed pantomime of people eating a meal, complete with lifting and drinking from a cup of coffee then throwing the cup away (or a bowl of soup, who knows lol).

Although all the critics of the vid are from various age groups, it seems the vid/song lyrics are aimed at the '18 to 35 plus' demographic, not so much for the under 18. I believe Janet may have been in her early or mid 30s when she made her vid 'That's the way love goes' (?), not sure, but all-in-all I feel the BCW vid fits the song lyrics. Oh, and when Danielle was dance/walking across the table in the vid, it looked like she was sending the message of 'Look out Beyonce, there's a new dance vixen in town'. (j/k).

agreed

the director seems to have taken an angle influenced on what she probably grew up seeing, Britney Spears videos, NSync, Pussy Cat dolls , etc and might not have gotten as inventive as someone who grew up listening and watching Prince might have, research is key, i think thats why some are disappointed, just wasnt the right fit.

A better angle in 2013 for a non artist appearance is to do a crowd sourced video, using the #breakfastcanwait hashtag and have the most creative instavideos , vine videos make the cut. Could have gotten a lot more interesting , gotten more pickup from non traditional outlets/blogs

I'm not one to complain about what Prince does...I mean, he's demonstrated time and time again that he does what the fuck he wants, and I respect him for it. But this video; I watched it once and I was pretty much done, in that I know i would never watch it again, and it kinda ruined the song for me, when I listen to it now all I can see is this damn video!! I put this up there with watching a Miley Cyrus vid.

At least w/Prince's crazy vids in the past, they were at least attempts to parallel a song. As to the views, that ass on display is definitely gonna rack up some views, no doubt. So in that respect, it works. Maybe it's that I'm older. Yes, I look at her ass/body and think, damn I would break her back given a chance, but age has given me the wisdom to realize that's prolly not going to happen, so I'm not drawn to it!

Yes. . . 18 year olds in bondage gear is AWESOME! Not only does it suit the song PERFECTLY, it's a FABULOUS message to the world (& young people) from someone who claims to know God.

Great presentation!

While I think Prince should have been in this video, it's not that bad. And compared to Live out Loud and Screwdriver, it's fantastic.

Couldn't premiere the song or the video at Paisley?

If it's the video you're referring to, he should never have allowed that trash to be produced in the first place. After all, he calls the shots. He's the one that OK'd it and it's his song for God's sake.

I'm not thinking that's an issue, as the video appears to be getting picked up all over the damn place lol...besides, Prince has never been known for groundbreaking, innovative music videos--he's on record as saying he hates doing them, and it shows in many of the videos he has put out.

you mean your worldstarhiphops, bossips and theybfs, concreteloops? yeah those as regular blogs someone actually serviced the video too, I'm talking about non traditional outlets that pick up videos for nonconventional reasons, Bruno Mars got an awesome pick up on Mashable, his video wasnt serviced to them. A developing artist's video was picked up on Vogue.com, wasnt serviced to them. I stated MORE pick up, the video is indeed being serviced and picked up by many blogs.
