Ha ha, I just like when she licks her finger and goes down saying "Got me looking so crazy right now...Got me hoping you'll save me right now", (or somewhere around there)...doesn't that remind you of Prince?

No. what reminds me of Prince is the fact she has matched Purple and Orange in her outfit. I've always been a champion of Purple and Orange in an outfit...re: Partyman. My wife disagrees...this is why I was married in a charcoal grey suit...wives should have less say over colour schemes at weddings.

Exactly! Every video, every artist, every breath someone takes has to be copied off of Prince.! Geez

BoySimon said:

Jeez.. you people read wayyy too much into this junk. that dress is very popular, it's only been in every high fashion magazine for the past 4 months!

fo' tha passs fo munths...well that so'nuff says me to shut up. Hmmm, Partyman...14 years ago? Purple and Orange mix...'k. D'you think like I'm Jo King?

BoySimon said:

everybody that wears those colors isn't trying to copy prince. a Designer made that dress..duh.. the world doesn't revolve around prince

no, I no that. All I'm saying is that I think Purple and Orange go and that my wife doesn't...but now beyonce wears it she's not so sure of her position. I shout joyful things and mention Partyman and she gets all defensive. All I'm saying is that Purple and Orange go, that's all.

BoySimon said:

and... in the fashion world those colors have been put together long before prince wore it..
i'm not defensive, i just thought it was silly.

Yeah, but I'm from wales, so please explain how fashion relates to me...please remember the Manic Street Preachers come from up the road...we know nothing about fashion.

BoySimon said:

obviously not if you think 2 colors in a video represent prince.. i could care less about where you come from

right.


ooohhh, ark at 'er. Purple and Orange does not remind me of Prince. The subject is whether Beyonce acts like Prince in her new video...yes?...she doesn't. Full Stop. She is shit, like a big shit that starts at the base of your spine and then protrudes and has you running to the toilet to stop and brownmark. I couldn't care.

In the light hearted mode of the thread...Purple and Orange reminded me of the moment when I made a fashion tip to a person on the basis of what I had seen in a Prince video. It was Purple and Orange.

There we go. You are mistaking me.

I love Beyonce.

She does nick a few dance moves from Jacko though

The bit at the beginning when she's gyrating on the floor, flicks her leg over the other one and drags herself along. Right from Ghosts. And there's a tiny bit of Thriller thrown in at the end when she's with the group and waving her arm from side to side.

OK, we'll compromise, she's doing MJ moves with Prince's style

I'm taking a look at Be right now, and naw, she don't remind me of no Prince. As a matter of fact, I lose my concentration just lookin' at the 1st 30 sec . . .

where was I?

Every R and B/Pop artist copies Michael in their videos to some extent.

Every female solo artist jocks Janet.

"Crazy In Love" is a good example of both!

namepeace said:

They normally jock the style, but this is tahe second time I've seen Beyonce take precise moves. Janet copied her brother in the beginning anyway. She was an absolute mesh of Prince, Michael and Madonna for a while.

BoySimon said:

doesn't matter.. it's the MJ thread now

naw, that's just the latest trend in music videos You can see that move in every britney/christina/j-lo/ashanti music video.

true. i'm getting tired of hearing people talking shit like "prince must've had something to do with it" or "he/she is trying to be like prince" everytime they love a song or album. at times it's just pathetic.
