Finally lord, a decent reaction to Purple Rain song.

There are many decent PR reactions but NicknLex is the best, check it out Their reaction is heart felt, they both cry. I am very cynical about this song. Heard it so much. Made me misty as well and appreciate it more. Bumped it back to my top ten. The live versions never do it for me, ironic since this was live. lol

I'll tell U what the Eye in the Pimp stand 4!

The only YouTube reaction I co-sign is the one where the girl says she's underwhelmed and/or it sucks in the thumbnail. The other ones you can tell they actually feel that way, but they don't want to catch the ire of the internet.

Generally I don't feel like the maudlin sway-sway slow tempo is in any way in alignment with Gen-Z tastes. "Erotic City" seems more up their alley but unfortunately that one has been relegated to "deep cut" status since the 80s when everyone who was actually there during the 80s treats it like the club hit it was.

Found it:

I don't like this. Prince: PURPLE RAIN (reaction)

Guarantee she'd be into "Do Me, Baby" something, but mainstream internet has the worst taste in Prince.

"Head", there's one that barely gets reactions, yet everyone who does is jamming on camera. Bet she'd like that. I feel like that was a club hit like "Erotic City". My bashful, sexually-conservative mom sings along every time and she's not a Prince person or "deep cuts" obscuro record nerd person at all, but she did go clubbin' in the 80s.

YouTuber's comments are probably telling her to check out "Dolphin" or some nonsense instead.
