Prince wasn't just more creative... he could sing, dance (in heels), play multiple instruments, produce, act, and probably get any woman he wanted with no more than a look. He was way more talented than Michael, and I love Michael's songs and performances. The world is less amazing every time we lose an artist like both of them. 😢
Only thing he had on Michael was that he could play instruments other than that Michael the all around better artist Prince has no album that can compete with thriller nor do he have a song that’s better than beat it …as a musician Prince maybe better but it’s a reason the general public liked Michael more
@@Kai2times I honestly think it’s a very unfair comparison between the two amazing artists. I love them both for different reasons. You’re not wrong on the musical instrument thing, but somehow Michael managed to express the notes via vocalizing them to his band. Which is the talent in it of itself. Just sayn.. lol
@@MjDeen217 they both were personification of music/art Prince could sing, write, play instruments and compose Michael could write compose Dance and sing Two sides of the same coin Yeah Prince could dance but Michael could also play drums and piano But dancing wasn’t Prince thing it was Michael’s Instruments weren’t Michael’s it was dance
Young man, Prince is THEE GOAT!!! Nobody better all around in the history of music period. He played over 20 instruments and sang saprano,mid range. And did all his own background vocals, everything in the studio was done by himself. Played all the instruments, wrote produced....u name it, he did it. For 40 yrs of music, maaaan he has cuts that gonna blow your mind, and he made 3 movies
Welcome to the world of Prince, arguably the greatest entertainer that ever lived. Not taking anything from Michael Jackson, but they're in two separate categories, and both are legends that will never be replaced, ever. Now if you want to check out a Prince song with a faster tempo, I'd suggest " Let's go crazy ", it's another classic hit.
Prince said in an interview, he didn't understand how Michael was the King of Pop, because you had to be a PRINCE before you could be a King! If you like this one try Kiss or Get Off! He also wrote Nothing Compares to You for Sinead O'Connor and I Can't Make You Love Me by Bonnie Raitt! He taught himself to play most musical instruments and did most of the instrumentals on his albums himself!
Yall forget about Michael Jackson’s jackson 5 days he was established way before Prince came onto the seen. He been the prince of the game hence why James brown and everyone loved Mike and wanted him to succeed…..yall love misquoting my boy Prince but conveniently leave out that Prince called Michael a genius
💜PRINCE💜Please react to - I Wanna Be Your Lover -1999 -Let's Go Crazy -Kiss -Girls & Boys -Raspberry Beret -My Name is Prince -Mountains -Little Red Corvette -Controversy -Darling Nikki -Delirious -I Would Die 4 U -Nothing Compared 2U -Purple Rain -U Got the Look -His guitar solo during 'While My Guitar Gently Weeps' (by George Harrison of The Beatles)
Prince and Michael are 2 diff types of musical geniuses. Michael was a genius at writing, arranging, dancing, harmonies, and esp music videos. Thriller propelled both Michael and MTV into the stratosphere. Prince is a genius in that he could play 27 instruments. He was an excellent guitarist but is underrated as a drummer, pianist and bass guitarist). He wrote, composed, produced, arranged and performed most of the songs on his pre Purple Rain albums. He later included his band members in some of those processes, esp w later albums. His vocal range (esp his falsetto) is very impressive. Check out I Wanna Be Your Lover and Let's Go Crazy as prime examples. He created "The Minneapolis Sound" a subgenre sound/style of R&Bmusic. He also created great bands like The Time and Mazarati (two of my fave bands); girl group Vanity/Appollonia 6); and The Family. He also wrote numerous hits for the above protégés and major artists. I remain a fan of both artists.
Note from history - One of the reasons there are parental advisory stickers is from his song Darling Nikki from Purple Rain. A politician's daughter was listening to the Purple Rain soundtrack and they overheard and the government got involved.
The best ending of any movie is Purple Rain when he sings purple rain then does "I would die for you" and then "BABY IM A STAR"!!! LOVE IT EVERY TIME I WATCH IT! You just want to dance your ass off!
So many Prince hits. You can't really go wrong. He covered almost every musical genre. Rap, Jazz, Rock, Pop, Dance......and all the hits he gave away to other artists. You haven't even scratched the surface yet.
Little Red Corvette! It's a good one of Prince's many hits. He was a musical genius. Writing songs for many artists and played at least 22+ instruments too.
I went to a Prince Concert back in the day!! It was the best concert that I had ever been too. Prince made sure EVERYONE IN THE AUDIENCE HAD FUN!! IT WAS A BLAST!! HIS MUSIC AND THE WAY HE DANCES? HE SEXY DANCES, BETTER THAN MICHAEL JACKSON! AND WE DANCED ALONG WITH PRINCE'S MUSIC BECAUSE IT IS VERY FUN AND HE IS DEFINITELY ARTISTIC, VERY VERY SEXY AND HANDSOME! HE'S GOT SOME MOVES THAT KEEPS OUR EYES PEELED TO HIM AT ALL TIMES! HE IS SO MISSED, AND HIS MUSIC WILL ALWAYS LIVE ON!! 👍👊💋❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
You should check out the extended version. It has a fantastic keyboard solo. It’s such a groove. You can easily find it on You Tube.. ‘When Doves Cry (Extended Version)’ 😊
I was lucky to see Prince in concert here in Houston. Michael Jackson was and still is the king of pop, but Prince didn't create pop music. His music was influenced by his father, who was a jazz artist, mature and sexy music. That's why you can hear blues and jazz infusion to make the sound that is only Prince.
Many guys back then and most guys today assume he was too effeminate to be straight; couldn’t have been both. It wasn’t a second thought in the minds of women. He sang to us, sensually and with passionate funky fun. We were enviously jealous of the women he preformed with. He was in-tune with women, understanding what they liked and what they wanted from their man (look, style, talent, confident, creative). Many times to get that deeper connection of understanding, men have to show that sensitive, awkward, effeminate side. With Prince nearly everything he did was an endearing turn-on (even the ass-out yellow outfit). He knew women thought he had a fine ass and he wasn’t afraid to show us. Just keep in mind who Prince was singing to and preforming for; it wasn’t gay men or drag queens. We were his target audience so whichever guy we happened to be dating or dancing with at the time, was along for the Prince ride whether they liked it or not. 😂
I love that you aren’t focusing solely on the same songs by the same nu metal bands everyone reacts to. Those are great songs, but there are probably hundreds of those reactions on CZcams. Throwing in random artists like doing “black Betty” by Ram Jam and your Prince videos are what I like watching. Keep throwing in those curveballs. If you want to hear prince rock out, check out the song Bambi.
I was a fan of both Prince and MJ from the age of 7 back in the 80’s. And I would say that while MJ had more marketable mainstream appeal for a wider audience, Prince was undeniably a much more tallented all-round musician, song-writer and performer. He was much more original, diverse and creative too. MJ was great at what he did, but in my honest opinion what he did wasn’t even close to being on the same high level as Prince.
My sentiments exactly: I love Michael Jackson, but when it comes down to the Purple one himself, You just can't get enough of him and the bangers that he brings . React to his Kiss, Let's go Crazy videos 💜
Good reaction! This was Prince's biggest hit! It shipped Gold to the record stores. He was the youngest artist in history at Warner Bros records to get creative control on his albums. Enjoy your purple journey!
I'm not a fan of MJ but I get giddy hearing Prince. You need to hear while my guitar gently keeps. With George Harrison's son and ole humble Prince plays guitar and doesn't mind not being in the spotlight. That's a true musician. He also wrote many many songs that other musicians covered. Just found you. Your grandmother must be proud of you.
He is a legend, not only does he play guitar, he plays a lot of instruments, multitalented and love, the ladies. I highly recommend music video.”KISS”, he is very comical in this video, great sense of humor
THE ONLY MAN IN THE WORLD THAT CAN WEAR HEELS N WALK AWAY WITH ALL THE GIRLS!!!! WRITER, SINGER, PRODUCER, PLAYED ALL THE INSTRUMENTS. HE HAD THIS MYSTERY ABOUT HIM. HE SANG POP, RNB,
Prince just totally came out with his unique style & awesome outfits when it was not yet as acceptable as it is today. He was way ahead of his time. Now i must go re-watch his halftime show for the Nth time lol! TY for your reacts on Prince! Happy to see you are mind blown too!
I not afraid to say, yes I am old school. I grew up with Michael Jackson from the start of his career and in my late twenties. They were both incredible artist, truly unique. Doves Cry was my favorite song, . Both of them had nothing but hit songs. Do listen to their songs. I like your reactions.
Great reaction! Some other Prince hits are "Let's Go Crazy," "1999", "Little Red Corvette," "I Wanna Be Your Lover," "Controversy," "Why You Wanna Treat Me So Bad," "Alphabet Street," "Batdance," "Scandalous,""I Could Never Take The Place of Your Man", "Diamonds and Pearls", "Cream", "The Most Beautiful Girl In The World," "Get Off," "7," "My Name Is Prince," "Money Don't Matter Tonight." There's more but that will keep you busy for a little while LOL.
Man! That's Gen X music! During the NPG Era, I wore nothing but lace...lace fingerless gloves sneakers with lacy laces, big bolero hats...playing Prince music until the tape snapped... played Purple Rain and Under the Cherry Moon, again, until the tapes snapped. 😂 I miss that time. And I miss Prince so much. My favorite song will forever be Adore.
i dont understand why all you youtubers that review when doves cry dont do the extended version you cheated yourself out of missing some big moments from this song you need to go back and watch the extended version till the end it gets even better
They search and get the "official" video and don't realize there is a longer (album) version of the video out there until fans inform them.. Hopefully he will check it out on his own.
Let's talk guitar playing and what other musicians thought of his skill - You should check out Prince performing a solo on "While My Guitar Gently Weeps". He is on stage with other good guitarists, playing a tribute to another great guitarist and Prince gets the anchor leg - for good reason. (No guitarist would play after Prince)
Not going to beat you up about the Prince outdoing MJ comment! I've always liked Prince's artistry better than MJ's. Not to take away anything from MJ, there's was no one like him. I think when comparing Prince & MJ it comes down to a personal preference on what style you're drawn to. I've always been in awe of Princes musicianship, song writing, voice, dancing & unique style. Once you go down the Prince rabbit hole there is no end to it. So many great songs!
He changed the vibe during his music trajectory…he never stayed the same …He released his first self titled album in 1977. “I wanna be your lover” and “Why you wanna treat me so bad” (one of my favorite because he killed it with his guitar bridge) were his first hits. I personally believe he was one of the best musicians ever….he wrote, composed, and sang every album …he mastered over 30 musical instruments…Prince was the epitome of musical genius. He was famous before I was born but it’s never too late to become a Prince fan lol I discovered him in the 90s. I can go on and on about this man 🤣 but he has some beautiful ballads and funk dance type songs too. This man was the soul essence of Romance….Check out Adore, the beautiful ones, pink cashmere, damn u, soul sanctuary, the greatest romance 🥰 the closest artist to Prince is D’Angelo, he was heavily influenced by him & also writes, composes, and plays instruments.
I have so many songs to suggest! When it comes to Prince everything he does is amazing! Little Red Corvette, 1999, Let's Go Crazy, Baby, I'm a Star, and you MUST check out While My Guitar Gently Weeps at the Rock and Roll Hall Of Fame. It is life changing! Great reaction! ❤
I love Michael Jackson. Love Prince. But you are right...Prince is very amazing. They both have their styles...almost incomparable. But Prince is just so talented.
1980's..2 teenagers at home..MTV was huge. This was on repeatedly along with many other great bands videos. Fun days! Yes the movie is fire. You might like to check out Prince and Ceeloo Green at Madison Square Garden performing "Crazy"
So unique that it sounds fresh today although it’s forty years old As great as Mike Jackson. Is ,he not seeing, Prince any day of the week nor is anyone else dead or alive. That’s just fact. He was built for this shit. Effortlessly. Treated performance as a blood sport. Lastly. He dropped 46 on the Minnesota timberwolves starting 5. Strongest pimp hand in the gane
Prince and MJ are just two different kinds of creative imo. Like, this one time MJ got sued in court because some chick claimed he stole a song from her but he had meticulous records of his version which predated hers. In the hearing, he was asked to detail his songwriting process and it was wild. Mans literally heard every instrumental line in his head, beat boxed out each part the way he heard it, then had house musicians play with him because he couldn’t do all of the parts at once lol. Meanwhile, Prince was an entire artist from head to toe with his work.
If you want to know about his work ethic and genius as a musician,find an interview with his first engineer for nearly five years, Dr Susan Rogers. He was in his late teens and early twenties then. He was so prolific in his new music that she, while paid well, was on call 24/7 and no excuses for missing the summons. After she left Prince she enrolled in Berkeley and is now a Professor there. She doesn’t think we will ever come across anther genius like Prince. Music poured out of him and his memory and recall were infallible. I think I like him!
I agree with you young man. While I absolutely LOVE MJ, Prince is my favorite artist ever. Enjoy the journey with his music. Here's some suggestions: Adore Raspberry Beret Love Bizarre Comtroversy And definitely watch Purple Rain. The video will make more sense.
There is a song on the album called "Darling Nikki" that is highly suggestive. It could be interpreted in a few ways. There is a masked lyric at the end.
You keep reacting to Prince and I will keep watching. As a fan going back to 1982, I love seeing anyone reacting to his music, because I have yet to find someone who wasnt feelin it like I did at first too. Brings back memories. I enjoyed you enjoying Prince ☺ ☺
Watch the movie! Semi-based on his life. The music is awesome! I went to see the movie when it was in the theaters & went out the next day and got the soundtrack!
He showed each band member how to play his part on their instrument, because Prince could play their instruments better they could according to the band members. Prince could not write music. He recorded the hummed parts and arranged them for each band member showing them what he wanted. Music was in his head always, a blessing and a curse. He once said that while cleaning his teeth a beat develops with his tooth brush and he has to get down to the studio to record the song. When he started a song he usually finished it. This is why at 24 he had plans drawn up for Paisley Park so he had his own studios whenever he needed one without having to fly anywhere from Minneapolis where he chose to stay and live. He claimed that WB owed him over $700,000,000 for reimbursement for no charges by him for his studios and any expense entailed in the production of his music. He also changed the music industry causing artists to claim ownership of their Master Tapes. He was definitely a thorn in the side of WB. Looking at how Hollywood operates, Prince was murdered. He was black, wealthy, too powerful in influence, owed money by WB, a lot of money, political and becoming more so. Being an entertainer caused fractures in his ankles, spine and joints exacerbating his use of prescription opioid pain killers. He was surrounded by enablers and he knew it was coming as his message said, “ just when you thought you were safe.”
if you thought This amazing - - Imagine if you'd heard/seen the full length version. It would Blow your mind. There's like 1/3 of the song left to go. And it goes in a totally different direction - - all ad-libs. It's Unreal.
Here's a list of Prince songs i think you should react to. If i say album version, music video version, or live version its because Prince would often cut stuff about the music video and Prince live was way different than in the studio. 'Nothing Compares 2 U Live At Paisley Park 1999' You probably heard Sinéad O'Connor version but it was originally written by Prince. 'Controversy' album version. '1999' album version. 'Little Red Corvette' music video version. 'Raspberry Beret' music video version. 'Pop Life' album version. 'Girls & Boys' album version. 'Kiss' music video version. 'Sometimes It Snows In April' album version. 'I Wanna Be Your Lover' album version. 'Sign O' The Times' music video version. And there so much more also there's often a lot of copyright problems with. Prince's music so i don't know if you're going to be able to react to some of these songs.
Prince was giving the androgynous look as artist like David Bowie and Little Richard did prior to him. We didn’t care because his talent outshined all of that. He was New Wave before New Wave was big…his infusion of R&B genres of Jazz, Rock, Soul, Funk, Disco, House, and Country was genius. Going to a Prince concert was a party. You must check out his other albums like Dirty Mind, Controversy, Prince, For You, 1999, Sign O The Times to name a few.
So excited that you liked this Prince song as well and checked out the Super Bowl performance. Experiencing Prince perform live is a whole other level. I recommend you check out a live performance of Purple Rain. My favorites are from the Syracuse show of the Purple Rain tour or the American Music Awards in 1985. Since you are in the Purple Rain era of Prince at the moment, I thought I’d also recommend a live performance of Baby I’m a Star. It’s up tempo, high energy, fun and funky. It’s a song from the Purple Rain album and was the last song performed in the movie. Here’s the link in case you want to check it out czcams.com/video/9Lgf2VU_M70/video.htmlsi=0Zpj3W3yllvu_W0Q
My absolute all time favorite Prince song! Masterpiece! This is the shorter version. The longer version continues on and gets really good past the fade out outro of this version. You should react to the full version based upon your positive reaction to hearing this track. Prince is an effing genius and you are 💯 correct about Prince being more innovative and creative than MJ as an artist. The more you hear of Prince, the more you’re going to really be blown away by his brilliance as an artist.
Due to copyright blocks, I had to edit the video to be able to share with you all!
@NateReacts_ try “the beautiful ones” very emotional song
Definitely wanna see your reaction to Darling Nikki 😅😅😅
Welcome to the party youngster
No hate here, we loved both Prince and Michael for the artists and entertainers that they were.
They moved us and that was all we asked for.
@@MjDeen217poor child might need a drank after that😂😂😂
All us older people can’t hear this without doing every mannerism. He was a genius
I guess I'm too old! 😂
And looking utterly ridiculous when doing it! 🤣
Anen
Prince not only could play guitar,he could play every instrument. He was a prodigy.
Famously, his first album "For You" was done entirely by him. He wrote, arranged, performed and produced it.
"Dearly beloved, we have gathered here today
To get through this thing called life"
🎤🎸🎶💜
Let's go Crazy!! One of many to listen to!!
Come On Baby! Let’s Get Nuts!
Come…
Michael Jackson and Prince are two completely separate geniuses in their own right!! The world is a much darker place without them!! 💜💜💜
😘😘😘
💯
FACTS! They influenced a generations
Prince wasn't just more creative... he could sing, dance (in heels), play multiple instruments, produce, act, and probably get any woman he wanted with no more than a look. He was way more talented than Michael, and I love Michael's songs and performances. The world is less amazing every time we lose an artist like both of them. 😢
Amen.
You are 💯 correct!
Yep and he was only like 5’3” or something. The ladies love him!
Only thing he had on Michael was that he could play instruments other than that Michael the all around better artist Prince has no album that can compete with thriller nor do he have a song that’s better than beat it …as a musician Prince maybe better but it’s a reason the general public liked Michael more
@@Kai2times I honestly think it’s a very unfair comparison between the two amazing artists.
I love them both for different reasons.
You’re not wrong on the musical instrument thing, but somehow Michael managed to express the notes via vocalizing them to his band.
Which is the talent in it of itself. Just sayn.. lol
@@MjDeen217 they both were personification of music/art
Prince could sing, write, play instruments and compose
Michael could write compose Dance and sing
Two sides of the same coin
Yeah Prince could dance but Michael could also play drums and piano
But dancing wasn’t Prince thing it was Michael’s
Instruments weren’t Michael’s it was dance
Young man, Prince is THEE GOAT!!! Nobody better all around in the history of music period. He played over 20 instruments and sang saprano,mid range.

I'm 57 white guy. When this song and album came out it was the ultimate "panty dropper" music on all of my mix tapes. The girls LOVED him
Only someone like Prince can make a banger with absolutely no bass-line…the man was a legend.

I've maintained the opinion that Prince was miles above Michael Jackson in talent and creativity 😊
concur 100% there's no comparison
Stevie Wonder himself said "If Michael Jackson was the King of Pop, then Prince was the Emperor."
Prince was a phenomenal artist. Every Album was completely different and still hitting the top. ❤❤
One of the only #1 songs with NO BASELINE. He took it out after writing it, and we end up with this masterpiece.
Prince Superbowl halftime show. Best halftime show
💯
Do not sleep on Lady Cab Driver from the 1999 album! Such a good song!
SO FUNKY!!!!
Yessss and that breakdown near the end love it
Make sure you check out his Kiss, Let’s Go Crazy, Raspberry Beret, Little Red Corvette, & 1999.
A guitar? He can play more than just a guitar, he played 27 different music instruments.

I am addicted to this song. I just heard it this week for the first time and I can't stop listening to it!

Michael was a singer, Prince was a singer/musical genius. They were both amazing performers but Prince always had my heart! ❤
Mike had the hype machine. Prince was for sure the real deal!
Man! That's Gen X music! During the NPG Era, I wore nothing but lace...lace fingerless gloves sneakers with lacy laces, big bolero hats...playing Prince music until the tape snapped... played Purple Rain and Under the Cherry Moon, again, until the tapes snapped. 😂 I miss that time. And I miss Prince so much. My favorite song will forever be Adore.
There is no bass in this song. Who does that?! Prince does that! Genius!
Yes, Prince can do whatever he wants.
i dont understand why all you youtubers that review when doves cry dont do the extended version you cheated yourself out of missing some big moments from this song you need to go back and watch the extended version till the end it gets even better
They search and get the "official" video and don't realize there is a longer (album) version of the video out there until fans inform them.. Hopefully he will check it out on his own.
Let's talk guitar playing and what other musicians thought of his skill - You should check out Prince performing a solo on "While My Guitar Gently Weeps". He is on stage with other good guitarists, playing a tribute to another great guitarist and Prince gets the anchor leg - for good reason. (No guitarist would play after Prince)
Not going to beat you up about the Prince outdoing MJ comment! I've always liked Prince's artistry better than MJ's. Not to take away anything from MJ, there's was no one like him. I think when comparing Prince & MJ it comes down to a personal preference on what style you're drawn to.
I've always been in awe of Princes musicianship, song writing, voice, dancing & unique style.
Once you go down the Prince rabbit hole there is no end to it. So many great songs!
One of the first dates my husband and I went on was to see Purple Rain….. still going forty years later. This album is still played in my house.
I really miss Prince. ❤
Look up how many instruments Prince played. You’ll be floored with the answer.
Love Prince!! My favourite Prince song is 'CREAM' but no one ever knows it but they love it when they hear it 😊
Yeah...the Diamonds and Pearls album was one of my faves.
@@trishie3376 Same here!! 😁
He changed the vibe during his music trajectory…he never stayed the same …He released his first self titled album in 1977. “I wanna be your lover” and “Why you wanna treat me so bad” (one of my favorite because he killed it with his guitar bridge) were his first hits. I personally believe he was one of the best musicians ever….he wrote, composed, and sang every album …he mastered over 30 musical instruments…Prince was the epitome of musical genius. He was famous before I was born but it’s never too late to become a Prince fan lol I discovered him in the 90s. I can go on and on about this man 🤣 but he has some beautiful ballads and funk dance type songs too. This man was the soul essence of Romance….Check out Adore, the beautiful ones, pink cashmere, damn u, soul sanctuary, the greatest romance 🥰 the closest artist to Prince is D’Angelo, he was heavily influenced by him & also writes, composes, and plays instruments.
He was a different breed!
@@NatReacts_ Mos definitely never be another Prince 💜💔💜
I have so many songs to suggest! When it comes to Prince everything he does is amazing! Little Red Corvette, 1999, Let's Go Crazy, Baby, I'm a Star, and you MUST check out While My Guitar Gently Weeps at the Rock and Roll Hall Of Fame. It is life changing! Great reaction! ❤
I love Michael Jackson. Love Prince. But you are right...Prince is very amazing. They both have their styles...almost incomparable. But Prince is just so talented.
Yeah. Let's go crazy should be on the list.
America live 1985, his talent on display live GOAT 💜♑
1980's..2 teenagers at home..MTV was huge. This was on repeatedly along with many other great bands videos. Fun days! Yes the movie is fire. You might like to check out Prince and Ceeloo Green at Madison Square Garden performing "Crazy"
beautiful song prince's football halftime show is worth a watch
Me being born in the 2000’s, I really love Prince and alot of my peers don’t understand how great of an artist he is. I’m sorry be he is ICONIC!
So unique that it sounds fresh today although it’s forty years old As great as Mike Jackson. Is ,he not seeing, Prince any day of the week nor is anyone else dead or alive. That’s just fact. He was built for this shit. Effortlessly. Treated performance as a blood sport. Lastly. He dropped 46 on the Minnesota timberwolves starting 5. Strongest pimp hand in the gane
Go way back to "The Loring Park Sessions '77" when he was 19, such amazing talent.
Prince and MJ are just two different kinds of creative imo. Like, this one time MJ got sued in court because some chick claimed he stole a song from her but he had meticulous records of his version which predated hers. In the hearing, he was asked to detail his songwriting process and it was wild. Mans literally heard every instrumental line in his head, beat boxed out each part the way he heard it, then had house musicians play with him because he couldn’t do all of the parts at once lol. Meanwhile, Prince was an entire artist from head to toe with his work.
Linkin Park GIVEN UP has a 17 second scream from Chester who lost his battle with mental.health his songs really hit the heart
Prince was a genius !
You should really watch his solo on while my guitar gently weeps. Its hall of fame induction performance. His genius is immeasurable
Great reaction! His Purpleness is easily one of my favorite artist ever. Your not going to find a bad song Prince created
If you want to know about his work ethic and genius as a musician,find an interview with his first engineer for nearly five years, Dr Susan Rogers. He was in his late teens and early twenties then. He was so prolific in his new music that she, while paid well, was on call 24/7 and no excuses for missing the summons. After she left Prince she enrolled in Berkeley and is now a Professor there. She doesn’t think we will ever come across anther genius like Prince. Music poured out of him and his memory and recall were infallible. I think I like him!
My favorite by him is Little Red Corvette!
I agree with you young man. While I absolutely LOVE MJ, Prince is my favorite artist ever. Enjoy the journey with his music. Here's some suggestions:
Adore
Raspberry Beret
Love Bizarre
Comtroversy
And definitely watch Purple Rain. The video will make more sense.
There is a song on the album called "Darling Nikki" that is highly suggestive. It could be interpreted in a few ways. There is a masked lyric at the end.
Gone to soon we always lose the best 😎 how can you just leave me standing alone in a world that's so cold ❤
You keep reacting to Prince and I will keep watching. As a fan going back to 1982, I love seeing anyone reacting to his music, because I have yet to find someone who wasnt feelin it like I did at first too. Brings back memories. I enjoyed you enjoying Prince ☺ ☺
And yet there’s over 3000 finished songs left in his vault that were never released…let that sink in.
Watch the movie! Semi-based on his life. The music is awesome! I went to see the movie when it was in the theaters & went out the next day and got the soundtrack!
☮️💟🎸🎶 R.I.P 💔 Prince was the Best!!!!
Prince. Musical genius!
Another side of prince is let's go crazy.
He had a lot of hits bro Let’s Go Crazy is a good one and so many more!
He showed each band member how to play his part on their instrument, because Prince could play their instruments better they could according to the band members. Prince could not write music. He recorded the hummed parts and arranged them for each band member showing them what he wanted. Music was in his head always, a blessing and a curse. He once said that while cleaning his teeth a beat develops with his tooth brush and he has to get down to the studio to record the song. When he started a song he usually finished it. This is why at 24 he had plans drawn up for Paisley Park so he had his own studios whenever he needed one without having to fly anywhere from Minneapolis where he chose to stay and live. He claimed that WB owed him over $700,000,000 for reimbursement for no charges by him for his studios and any expense entailed in the production of his music. He also changed the music industry causing artists to claim ownership of their Master Tapes. He was definitely a thorn in the side of WB. Looking at how Hollywood operates, Prince was murdered. He was black, wealthy, too powerful in influence, owed money by WB, a lot of money, political and becoming more so. Being an entertainer caused fractures in his ankles, spine and joints exacerbating his use of prescription opioid pain killers. He was surrounded by enablers and he knew it was coming as his message said, “ just when you thought you were safe.”
if you thought This amazing - - Imagine if you'd heard/seen the full length version. It would Blow your mind. There's like 1/3 of the song left to go. And it goes in a totally different direction - - all ad-libs. It's Unreal.
It's worth noting; this particular song does not have a bass in it. At all. And it's so well arranged that YOU NEVER NOTICED. 😉😁
Please watch “While My Guitar GentlyWeeps” …..the most legendary guitar solo EVER!
Aw. You needed the extended version.
Here's a list of Prince songs i think you should react to. If i say album version, music video version, or live version its because Prince would often cut stuff about the music video and Prince live was way different than in the studio.
'Nothing Compares 2 U Live At Paisley Park 1999' You probably heard Sinéad O'Connor version but it was originally written by Prince.
'Controversy' album version.
'1999' album version.
'Little Red Corvette' music video version.
'Raspberry Beret' music video version.
'Pop Life' album version.
'Girls & Boys' album version.
'Kiss' music video version.
'Sometimes It Snows In April' album version.
'I Wanna Be Your Lover' album version.
'Sign O' The Times' music video version.
And there so much more also there's often a lot of copyright problems with. Prince's music so i don't know if you're going to be able to react to some of these songs.
Thank you for all of the suggestions, I’m definitely going to check those out!
Prince was giving the androgynous look as artist like David Bowie and Little Richard did prior to him. We didn’t care because his talent outshined all of that. He was New Wave before New Wave was big…his infusion of R&B genres of Jazz, Rock, Soul, Funk, Disco, House, and Country was genius. Going to a Prince concert was a party. You must check out his other albums like Dirty Mind, Controversy, Prince, For You, 1999, Sign O The Times to name a few.
agree 100%, MJ can't come close to what Prince could do, on so many levels
So excited that you liked this Prince song as well and checked out the Super Bowl performance. Experiencing Prince perform live is a whole other level. I recommend you check out a live performance of Purple Rain. My favorites are from the Syracuse show of the Purple Rain tour or the American Music Awards in 1985. Since you are in the Purple Rain era of Prince at the moment, I thought I’d also recommend a live performance of Baby I’m a Star. It’s up tempo, high energy, fun and funky. It’s a song from the Purple Rain album and was the last song performed in the movie. Here’s the link in case you want to check it out czcams.com/video/9Lgf2VU_M70/video.htmlsi=0Zpj3W3yllvu_W0Q
The 1985 Syracuse live performance of "Purple Rain" is just sublime....
My absolute all time favorite Prince song! Masterpiece! This is the shorter version. The longer version continues on and gets really good past the fade out outro of this version. You should react to the full version based upon your positive reaction to hearing this track. Prince is an effing genius and you are 💯 correct about Prince being more innovative and creative than MJ as an artist. The more you hear of Prince, the more you’re going to really be blown away by his brilliance as an artist.
Since u doin prine...diamonds and pearls...used to love hearing it on the bus in 7th grade
