All I can say is in '96 when Prince said that on Oprah, he was trippin very hard. I'd like to know what y'all think about that one. Does it explain his constant change in appearance? Does it explain his overt sexuality? Or is he really crazy?

i remember that all too well...i took a real interest in that for a while, but i think the man was under a ton of pressure and dealing with a ton of grief at the time, so i'd take a lot of that interview with a grain of salt...though it was still an interesting statement, huh?

Schizo No. Seriously, Prince can do whatever he wants. If we go by changes in appearance Madonna must have a dozen people living inside her, and Michael Jackson's nose must carry the population of a small third world country. Beyonce has an alternate stage personality called "Sasha." I don't think feeling you have another person in you is all that uncommon, nor is it a a big deal, nor does it explain much about why Prince is so, um, unique... The only thing about that that sets him apart is how at peace he seems to be w/his other half.

So who were the "they" who diagnosed this? Psychiatrists? Did Prince go into therapy or is he talking new age psychics? I often wondered about this. He certainly went through enough to warrant therapy, but hearing how he doesn't like talking about his feelings, it must've been like getting blood from a stone.

I was just thinking the same thing. Can someone please un-confuse me? (2 the best of your ability, my confusion is uncurable for the most part).

He Is The World.

I'm watchin' it right now & he said he discovered that otha side 2 him & that he probably created it from his childhood(age 5-he said). I'm guessin' @ that time he created cuza childhood-life influences & things that took place in it..I s'pose.

RupacShakur said:

I never thought Prince was the slightest bit "off" until he said that. But only one who has lost a child could understand his mental state at that point.

Then again, maybe it was staged.

AAAGH . I was just reading that in Purple Reign. That was really strange.

so there's prince twins????




whoa.....

CinisterCee said:

Yeah, It was a cheap shot. Don't get me wrong, I adore MJ And the nose is irrelevant, so I shouldn't of brought it up at all.

It's called being a Gemini.


Try it sometime, it ain't fun.

Especially when the two people are at odds with each other.

From "My Name is Prince" by Prince:

I know from righteous
I know from sin
I got two sides
They both friends

Jasziah said:

Yeah, except right now the "righteous" side of prince as the "sinful" side strapped down in a church with soap in his mouth!

namepeace said:

I would go with this thought.

yes i remember ..then again prince said alot of stuff that threw me off i was like ok ..dam .prince what happened .

charlottegelin said:

If I remember correctly he said "they" discovered it when he was taking someone else through therapy.

Whatever that means - does he mean he was taking the other personality through therapy, or another person through therapy (and paying for them) - in which case if he was in on the sessions and paying for them, it must have been someone close.

Or like namepeace said, it was all staged poppycock to add another dimension to Prince's "mystery".

Zelaira said:

you are starting to sound like a stalker.

only two?

Adorable Y would u try to deny it? Just curious... I never denied mine.

BeautifulOneJem said:

because i was always referred to as being crazy and having a split personality. like you never knew what who were going to get. i used to say to people, "that's not true. i am always the same." but i had to accept the fact that i did in fact act totally different for no obvious reason. i mean i never acted crazy but different you probably know what i'm trying to say. anyway i am comfortable in my skin now that i have accepted it and i don't try to argue with someone everytime they say "you are a true gemini!"

adorable2 said:

Im happy for you

For the record y'all I'm a Gemini too.June 9,1969 or 6/9/69(cool numbers) anyway I often thought he was refering to the duality of being a gemini too. However, I also feel that he goes in and out of those 2 people so dramatically. Look at the Sacrafice of Victor photos and the photos from the Gold Experience- who in the hell was that person? And look at the difference in his public accessibility when he goes with the look of the person he is now compared to the 1986 Parade look.Whoever the 2 people are inside of him the best one is showing himself now.Good vs. Evil?Male vs. Female? And by the way I still think his daddy, uncle, grandpa somebody in that family was a pimp!! ICPC- enuff said.
