That was one of the worst promos I have ever seen! (Largely because of that slow, dragging, monotone voice.) I bet back in the day I was geeked when I saw it. That last line about listening to Carmen's music live is still hilarious - talk about over-promising!

I saw this on repeat on the video screens for about an hour before the 2 german "Diamonds and Pearls" concerts I attended in 1992.

Ok, that was hilarious. That voiceover!

P must have really been gone over Carmen Electra because I just don't see it.

At the time I remember saying this is some corny ass shit right here P!

The symbol album promo cool even though the clanking sound for the symbol
Was a poor choice but the Carmen promo LOL

And you know P wrote every word of what was used in the voiceover hilarious!!!
The greatest live performer of our times was is and always will be Prince.

Remember there is only one destination and that place is U
All of it. Everything. Is U.

Yeah, I remember this. The Carmen Electra aspect was cringe worthy at the time, but by then I learned to take Prince's "side projects" with a grain of salt. I never expected much from the CE project so I was never disappointed. "Get on Up" is a nice little dance number at best, but, since I loved The Symbol Album, the terribleness of the CE project didn't matter that much. Though I will admit that I loved The Ryde Devine special.

Not having purchased the Sexy MF vid at the time, I hadn't seen this since I saw it shown before the Paris D&P show I attended... 25 years ago!!!!! That's pretty awesome!

.

I remember, being 15, how teased I had been about this Carmen Electra record... Then prince came out and I was blown away, so I thought CE would be in those lines, I can't tell how disappointed I was with CE when it finally came out 6 months after I'd seen that promising teaser at Bercy. It was indeed a female counterpart to prince but such a cheap one sad sad sad
