Yeah I thought the "Scandalous" video was comparable to the "I Like It There" video.

The Scandalous video isn't that bad... I mean he does look like a male genie in a bottle and his ballet moves are a bit much at times but I wouldn't say it is his worst video.

That video makes me & my friends blush like the school girls we are And I've rewinded it again & again in front of them Simply 4 the blushing 2 continue... Prince

Who cares, that song is some of his GREATEST work!! There is way too much going on in the song to care what the hell he's doing!!

Now I HAVE to see it! I've never seen it before (I don't think ) but after hearing everyone's comments, it sounds brilliant.

I forgot all about this video. Theyt used to show it on the box or BET continuously back then.

"Scandalous"...was that the Prince video where he's wearing nothing but black and sitting on a black chair in a big black room? If that's the video that everyone is talking about, it really is horrible!! I couldn't get past the beginning...you mean he actually dances in that video too... I'm going to have to go back and watch it on Yahoo! Launch in it's entirety. I just watched the beginning and then turned it off. AWESOME song; sorry-ass video. Prince could have done that song some justice by making a good video for it; but, I've always liked his music more than some of his corny videos. Prince is still the best to me; lame videos and all.

nuh-uh, he wuz wearin a red suit and hoppin around in front of a mic...

Then, what was I watching? It was some video on Yahoo! Launch; and it had "Scandalous" playing in the background. You mean there are two horrible videos to this song? NOOO!!!

Ya'll are right; he is wearing red! WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH ME!!! My mom told me not to sniff all those Magic Markers when I was younger. I should have listened. I don't think smokin' that made it any better. I swear, I'm just high on life. Shoot,red, black, pin-stripes with polka dots, the video is still pretty bad. Soo, bad that I couldn't even pay attention to the red outfit.

estelle1981 said:

dang, you think it's that bad? man... it ain't the greatest video he's done but it don't suck too bad...

I think P's most disappointing videos are SOTT and Paisley Park...I don't mind if he ain't in 'em, but for someone who has his own library of symbology, iconography and imagery, they coulda come up with some better videos for such classic songs. I wouldn't use the SOTT video as a screensaver, and PP looks like a deleted scene from Teletubbies. Yawn-a-roonie. Scandalous is kind of stagnant, but he's definitely on a hardcore diva trip in that video, and it's kinda nice to see him prancing around and being all "pop icon sex symbol" every now and again.

Oh MAN that's a hot video!! Beautiful.

I love this video..it's simple, yes...but he looks SOOO FINE in it!



ps...I can't believe I'm saying this outloud in here, but...THERE WAS A VDO FOR SIGN O' THE TIMES???!?!?!?!

endorphin74 said:

yeah...do you have the hits collection video? cuz it's on it.

Handclapsfingasnapz said:

(endo sneaks away to the vdo store)

Even Richard Simmons is embarrassed by this video..he said "man up!" to the screen.

endorphin74 said:

i thought you awready had the vid...i'm shocked!

Handclapsfingasnapz said:

that came out at the time I was really off of prince...and I had most everything on their taped from the tv...so I never got around to picking it up...silly kitty that I am!

Don't remember how "Daisy Chain" went, but "Come On" has to be the worst easily - cheap cheesy boolshit

Moonbeam said:

I agree,the "Sign O The Times" video was really disappointing,a total bore.A great song like that deserved a really powerful,dramatic video.

"Come On" is worse... Why is he loitering around London dressed like a tramp?

"When 2 R In Love" is cack too! At least the words on-screen in the "Sign O' The Times" video are the correct lyrics!

Oh - "Sexy M.F." too... It just looks so cheap. In fact, "Gett Off" and "Cream" both looked like they were filmed in his garage.

I think his greatest video is "Alphabet St." - at least it looks intentionally cheap!

The only thing I don't like about the Scandalous video is that he looks weird without facial hair.

endorphin74 said:

I'm sure you've seen it though Endo. It's the one where it's only the lyrics going across the screen, and nothing else. No Prince or band members or anything in it. It always reminds me of Pong.

No SOTT video is great!
It's powerful BECAUSE there are no
dramatic images to be seen!!

classic song, great video!

I've only seen a ten second clip of the video and the still taken from it and put on the front of the Nude Tour t-shirt is my favourite Prince tee. It's got Prince dressed in the red get up halfway through a split whilst holding the neck of the mic. There's also a red male/female symbol on the back. Used to wear that tee all the time. Then I threw it away.

You do all know that the Scandalous video is just Prince redoing the microphone seduction stand thing from the Parade tour version of "head" and later the Nude tour rendition of "Electric man" yeah.Did you find it similarly embarasing to watch live or were you all there screaming your heads off , I suspect the latter...
