Consider yourself surprised. It was a one-off interview, and he was quite happily married at the time.

Mel B is on record saying that she stayed at Paisley Park for 3-4 days. I'm not saying that anything happened. I'm just saying...

She was out of her depth. You could just see how prince could run rings around this chick. Yes, she was young but she's never been the sharpest tool in the box. She's attractive but has the voice of a overweight chain smoking builder trying
to climb a ladder.

Baby, you're a star.

... Yeeaah, and providing his then wife never listens to NewPowerSoul he's golden. Speculation of course, what do I know? Nothing. Other than Scary Spice is mixed race and circa 1997/8 wore a lot of animal prints, flaunting them so lovely... with her bushy hair...





Yes I always thought he was referencing her in Mad Sex.

Prince was girl crazy. I think he just felt more comfortable being around attractive women. It made him happy and engaged, hence the reason he said it was a great interview. The chemistry between them was off the charts. He should have always had women he was attracted to interview him. Maybe he would have enjoyed it more.

As much as I believe that Prince was head over heels in love with Mayte, I do fervently believe that he cheated on her---more than once---based on a combination of testimonials, his history of overlapping romantic relationships and acquaintanceships, and his passion for women in general. Mel B. was asked about Prince in an interview right after his death, and she stated that she stayed at Paisley Park for a few days. The way the footage of the interview is edited makes it appear that she just arrived for the interview and left immediately afterwards.

LOL. People have always given her a hard time for this interview as if she isn't 23 and Prince isn't 40 at the time. The age difference is very obvious intellectually.

Wow, the age difference didn't even dawn on me. He looked so young! Lol, she kept complimenting him and he was like "I really like you, your so complimentary"! He was eating it up! falloff

falloff Geez, eagle eye much? Not gonna lie, I didn't even notice any of that until you pointed this out. Too funny.

As for the interview itself, I thought it was pretty fun, and kind of silly. Did every interview he ever did have to be serious?

I mean, why are people hating Mel B., now? Good God, what the hell did she do to you guys that you have to be so evil to her? That's just crazy, man. So she was a bubbly 23 year old interviewing Prince.

This was part of a Channel 4 Prince special, I remember watching the interview and thinking what a twat he must have thought Mel B was considering he was just sat there in a chair moving his eyes away from interview lady.

Later on they ran the Sign O The Times film. We'd fallen asleep by this point.

i wish i'd never kissed your lips, bearded lady

Can someone please explain the spud reference to me? I didn't get that. Why did he tell her to call him Spud and said she knew what he was talking about?

After reading your comments, I went back and rewatched the interview to see if I saw what many of you did. What I saw by the end of the interview was Prince seeming very bored with the conversation. I could see he was trying to keep an "engaged" look on his face but I could tell he had enough small talk. Watch the expression on his face change right after he said, "I'll walk you to your car" and her back was turned. He was done .. done! Knowing what I know about introverts and watching countless interviews, I believe Prince was an introvert and introverts get absolutely exhausted by small talk. Initially, he was engaged but by the time they were sitting on the stairs, he was done and needed to send her on her way.

Show your heart to me.

Jew=jewelry...Here in NY the jewelry businesses were traditionally run by Jews.

Spud...Could he have been referring to Spud Webb, the very short, excellent professional basketball player?

I saw his jewels on the said of that thigh while he was sitting on that swing or whatever that thing is called. I might not be right on this one but when she went up (after he mentioned her butt) and he said brothers like bums (booty) she randomly asked him to say Romeo, Romeo, let down your hair. He was about to say it and instead corrected her by telling her it's Rapunzel. Looked like that Romeo crap turned him all the way off. He jumped down off that swing and I'm like yeah, she came off as ignorant.

Wonderful interview! Prince so relaxed and real. Looking at it now, it puts to rest the thread about whether or not he Had Asperger's Disorder. This interview alone proves it is not so. There is no way he could be so naturally engaged and have the disorder.

She must be pretty short herself with those big frankenstein shoes she wasn't much taller than Prince, she's definitely thicker than he was, he'd of mesmorized her into a diet.

I'm sorry but she sounded bitter. Why would she say that unless she was bitter about something. Something happened to piss her off.
