  • Translation, "Because she's who she is and you all love her, I'll tell you all what you want to hear" LOL!!

    If you really listen to what he said about her it was that she needed alot of work...talent will only get you so far in this buisness.

    If u want to be a musician, you might wanna actually play a fucking instrument Beyonce (and all the other manufactured talent out there)

    Prince is apalled by the Industry and the people held as so called artist's today...and he's right!!

  • I think he meant princeolydian

  • His genius is largely overshadowed by his strong personality and on stage persona and dare I say, antics. In other words, his musical genius isn't as widely appreciated as it should be IMO.

  • this interviewer almost got slapped i seen prince tense up when he ask about his relevance

  • Wanna be michael Jackson

  • I think he meant Nickelodeon scales.

  • my naaame is prince ,,, aand i aam funkyy

  • he looks just like michael. lol.

  • She must have been very intimidated by Prince. He's a real intellectual when it comes to music.

  • What's so funny to me about all these negative comments about Prince's mispronunciation of "Mixolydian" is that they're coming from posts with lots of misspelled words. What's more important, being able to pronounce the name or hear the notes? Believe me, he knows the scale/mode even if he can't call it by the correct name. If you don't like his music or style, then that's your prerogative. Hate him for the right reasons, please...

  • GODDAMNIT PRINCE! Why not work with MJ????????????????????? Ughhhhhhhhhhhhhh ok rant done

  • About 46/47 seconds into this video he blatantly says "Allah", why? What I mean by why is, why not just say "Allah" and not try and subliminally sneak it in. He is entitled to believe in whatever he sees fit but please do not try and force your opinions (through pseudo hypnosis tricks) on other people. Use conversation, sound logic, compassion and humility to see other view points. Then, people will listen to what you have to say.

  • @ping139 ummm i'm pretty sure it was 'a la', in this case meaning 'such as, for example..' Listen to the sentence and it makes sense.

  • @ping139 What he meant was the French phrase "a la". It means "like" or "in the style of". He was NOT being religious. Besides which, Allah is for Muslims...NOT Jehovah's Witnesses (JW)! Prince is JW. He meant, if Beyonce would learn to play piano like the other artists he mentions, then she would likely broaden her talents and extend her career.

  • he looks arabic .

  • hahha egyptian stykles?? you mean frigian mode?

    

  • @pablogilmartinez1 you mean Phrygian mode?

  • mixolodian?haha you mean mixolydian!

  • lol myxolodion... sounds like prince has a bit to learn about scales himself.

  • scales r thing that you can apply to musical instruments

  • prince is not checking for you checking his pronunciation.. lol that's Prince. we are watching him on TV.. but is he watching us.. NOPE because he's a LEGEND and a STAR.. stay in your lane tiny little Hata-LOD-ions. lolol!!

  • I wonder did Prince tapped Beyonce because it is hard for a woman to resist the handsome PRINCE!!!!!!  It's not like they would admit to a thing like that anyway.

  • omg its prince im a big fan of him

  • MyxolOdion scales? lol

  • @whatshendrix Frank Zappa once said of scales "Major is neutral, minor is serious and Mixolydian is pure love".

  • @PrinceZappa

    Nice.

  • @whatshendrix Used alot in Jazz and progressive music..not your basic major or minor scale type stuff..ie the average musician rarely enters into that realm

  • @psalmsurfer1 whatshendrix was probably referring to Prince's mispronunciation of "mixolydian." And the only difference between a major scale and mixolydian is a lowered seventh, so it's really not as obscure as you're implying.

  • @Breadallelogram Thanks for the lesson..I am a drummer as my primary instrument so its the same as expecting Jeff Beck to know the difference between a pataflafla and inverted flam tap

  • @psalmsurfer1

    Please... It's used all over the place and my point is that Prince didn't pronounce the name right.

  • @whatshendrix so prince is human after all..thank god he's not as arrogant as you.typical musician..the way you talk you'd think YOU were Prince lol smh I'm a drummer so the fact I even know what that scale is in the first place is amazing-go eat some humble pie

  • @psalmsurfer1

    How am I arrogant? He said "MyxolOdian" I simply pointed it out, because it's weird... I have nothing but respect for the man. Calm the fuck down...

  • @whatshendrix Simply by feeling the need to correct him makes you arrogant. Your tone implied sarcasm and arrogance. I know it when I see it. I will not calm down it just I can't stand self-righteous musicians as they exist everywhere. And its usually amateurs or non-professionals. An old saying goes like this: If you can't improve on silence; don't try.

  • @psalmsurfer1

    I never judged anyone, I even said that I have MAX RESPECT for Prince. YOU are judging ME just for pointing out a funny moment in a fucking video! If correcting people is arrogant, then YOU are arrogant for judging me. Get a fucking grip.

  • @whatshendrix your tone to me still comes off arrogant..swearing and everything.

  • @psalmsurfer1

    Swearing has nothing at all to do with anyone's tone or arrogance and vice versa. The point is simple - I didn't judge anyone and you started holding a very judgmental tone with me while putting words in my mouth and twisting my intentions, YOU are arrogant and you have absolutely no control over your emotions.

  • @whatshendrix NEVER GIVE UP SAYS JAVON HUNT ON YOUTUBE

  • Comment removed

  • To all you people here hating on Prince...how many Hit records do you have.....get a life already..

  • To say he knows so much theory, he sure did pronounce mixolydian incorrectly.

  • Prince looks like Rihanna

  • @truewoman100

    you mean rihanna looks like prince

  • @rhinol013

    no Prince looks like Rihanna- It's that wicked hairstyle.

  • Comment removed

  • well...if the bra fits.

  • Haha Prince said "mixolodian"!

  • He's correct on many levels. I've worked with many talented vocalists that couldn't quite communicate with musicians the way they wanted because they didn't play or understand musical theory behind any instrumentation. But vocalist I've worked with that played an instrument communicated with the band much better because they spoke the language. Since Beyonce have learned piano she's found this out.

  • What the fuss..even if prince teaches you how to make an omlette you listen..he is a walking legend and anyone should be honoured to take musical tips

  • its mixolydian,, not mixolodian

  • Ha ha, that's what Sinead O'Connor objected to with Prince, being taught. But if someone can show you a new perspective, that's a good thing.

  • Comment removed

  • @Godzie1 that was Ke$ha's retarded wack ass

  • He knows his theory:) Yes, finally an artist who stays true to his music. Instead of money:)

  • @ErikLavine123 ... he said MIXOLODIAN instead of MIXOLYDIAN.. and u think he knows his theory?? dats a real bad mistake 4 a mans whom has been in da MUSIC BUSINESS as long as prince has... and why he name dropping MIXOLYDIAN anyways?? dats like him sayin "yee i wuz surprised beyonce knew her scales.. she knew like da 4th position of da pentatonic scales." if he had say dat u woud be like .... "wut da fuk? so wut? dats random as fuk" .. and prince aint bout da money?? lmao get. out.

  • Wasn't Beyonce the one when she was first starting out...

    Broke in to Prince's home & demanded he help her in the business?

    He refused & threw her out!

  • PRINCE IS LIKE MILES DAVIS SAID HES THE MODERN DUKE ELLINGTON IN POPULAR MUSIC WHO HAS WRITTEN SEVERAL TUNES COVERED BY MANY TOP ARTISTS. HE IS A GREAT MUSICIAN ON SEVERAL INSTRUMENTS AND AS STEVIE WONDER SAID HE INTRODUCED CHORD PROGRESSIONS INTO POPULAR MUSIC WHICH ARE INTERESTING AND UNIQUE. NOT ONLY THAT. HE IS AN AWESOME PERFORMER AND A DEEP THINKING BROTHER TO BOOT. GIVE THANKS AND PRAISE TO SEE ONE OF THE GREAT LIGHTS OF MUSIC.

  • SOUNDS LIKE PRINCE AINT KNOW SHIT BOUT SCALES ... WHY HE TRYNA SOUND SMART AN THEN HE CALLS MIXOLYDIAN "MIXOLODIAN"??? WUT DA FUK IS "MIXOLODIAN" PRINCE?? IM SORRY BUT DAT AINT EVEN A SLIP OF DA TONGUE .. SUM1 WHO BEEN IN DA BUSINESS DIS LONG AN CLAIMS 2 KNOW SHIT ABOUT SCALES WOUD NOT MAKE DAT KIND OF BASIC ERRORS.... AN WHY HE EVEN MENTION MIXOLYDIAN?? LYDIAN AN PHRYGIAN IS WAYY COOLER ... HELL... EVEN DORIAN BETTER THAN MIXOLYDIAN .. MIXOLYDIAN IS BASICLY DA MAJOR SCALE WIT A FLAT 7TH... FUCK

  • @teenw0lf1971 Do you feel better as a musician now?

  • @Pro2rGrip I AINT AN MUSICIAN IMA A YOUTH COUNSELLERS ... DIS JUS PROVIN MY POINT THO CUZ EVEN A AVERAGE JOSEPH LIKE ME KNOW MORE THAN DIS SO CALLED "PROPHET OF TUNES"

  • Comment removed

  • @teenw0lf1971 yeah obviously prince knows nothing about music. haha, yeah right. who are you kidding?

  • @AhYaOk he made a error dat most ppl woudnt have made after 2 music lessons. soo ya i think dat prince THINKS he knows bout music but da fact dat he name dropped "MIXOLODIAN" (lmao) jus kinda shows dat he tryna impress da non-musician crowd by pretendin 2 understand scales even tho he aint know da PROPER NAMES. heh. it aint even surprise me dat sum1 as SELF INDULGENT as PRINCE (or DA ARTIST or w/e he wants yall 2 call him these days) aint taken da time 2 learn da proper names of da scales. heh.

  • @teenw0lf1971 who cares what he calls it. he knows the modes, key changes everything like nobodys business. anyway you have your own way of writing english w da fact dat da.. haha. but i still know what your saying right? mark twain did too, so i aint da man to kinda showda da obvious.

  • @teenw0lf1971 it surprises me how someone is trying to bag out an amazing musician, while spelling like that

  • @AceFan88 I RATHER CATCH MEAN CASE OF IMPETIGO B4 BOW DOWN 2 UR PRINCE.

  • @teenw0lf1971 You are stupid. period. As far as Beyonce, She takes the easy-way-out.. Why learn "piano/cord's etc..." when she can just get half naked & make the same money

  • @teenw0lf1971 The reason he's calling them 'scales' is simply because prince wasn't formally taught, and probably doesn't know another title for them. and he is clearly an amazing musician, look at his writing credits, for himself and other acts, he obviously knows his stuff. and, oh yeah, you can't spell. :P

  • @teenw0lf1971 Do you know who you're talking about? Saying PRINCE doesn't know about music... HAHAHA.

  • @zouelle ye i really think he aint know as much as u thinkin ..see my grandson wuz in a music recital da otha week an part of it wuz dat dat teacher aksed dem sum musical THEORY questions an 1 kid called da Phrygian scale "Fritcheen".. well his classmates laughed @ him an i started booing. see dis types of social humiliations is wut keeps a REAL musicians from makin those BASIC mistakes .. PRINCE been livin life 2 ez an without checkin his knowledge 4 so long cuz he think he a special kiddo.

  • yes to go and play for colonel gadaffi

  • so like what the hell does that mean? & i actually like prince

  • Beyonce sucks.

  • GAME... BLOUSES!

  • @LordEli lmmfaoooo

  • this guy is such a little weird FAG, SISSY BOY, it's amazing he's still around.

  • lol mixolydian*

  • Prince is king in music MUSIC>>> MUSIC>>> MUSIC>>> see how he references Aretha and Ray in terms of piano... Beyonce is a sexy gal, but I doubt we'll ever see her doing what Aretha did with music. Shes too rich and into the sparkle to care

  • Does anyone know what the ''mixolydian mode'' is? Prince called it a mixalodian scale-lol! I know he can play it right though!

  • I loves me some PRINCE ya'll...yes I dooooo!!!

  • Geat

  • I have not heard anything good from Beyonce lately. I like her music before Jay-Z became her manager.

  • @kriggans1 thats your opinion!!!

  • Almost looking like Toni Iommi! ha ha

    Prince is the modern Frank Zappa - a pure and solid genious. Wonder what's his IQ are? 250+?

  • @Floskeknosk I have to wonder about YOUR I.Q.; .... since you obviously can't spell!

    Yeah. Prince is a Genius.

  • @swiggy58a Aaaaah. I meant genious, you fukker.

  • mixaLOdian lol

  • @VicRoseMusic He's Prince. He's allowed.

  • Prince has the most piercing eyes!!! O_O Watch for yourself...

    He hypnotizes you...

  • Beyonce is nothing but a sex object.Her voice is average she sounds the same on every song she is not good enough to perform with Prince.Todays music is all about looks and gimmics real talent doesn't sale anymore.The world has gotten so shallow that it chokes out whatevers real.Look no futher than Adele they talk about her weight like she's some 500 pound woman.Hevean forbid she have curves or look normal.

  • @Soflynoli23 They're performance was 2004, not recent. Don't compare music 'today' back then. Ho.

  • @laughoutloud10595 FUCK YOU.

  • @Soflynoli23

    agreed

  • @Soflynoli23 Prince thinks other wise and so does other legends....troll

  • @CKFIERCE1 Bitch please fuck off loser.Beyonce ain't shit she is no fucking legend.Get a grip.

  • mixo-LOdian?

    come on prince, get it together :p

  • If she had married Prince, instead of Jay-Z, she'd be putting out more interesting music.

  • The title is misleading...

  • @Fireinthefudgehole lol, nice one

  • @Fireinthefudgehole Thank you! Saved me 50 seconds of my life.

  • @Fireinthefudgehole .....ha!

  • @Fireinthefudgehole Hahahha OMG!! I know what u mean!

  • Damn. After reading the video's title I was kinda hoping to see that little guy get all up on that.

  • why ask prince if he learned from beyonce??? man, she should learn from him! smh

  • lolzz MixolOdian scale... nub biiitch!! try MixolYdian!

  • @MiztrMandrew i wonder why he pronounced it that way? he must know them? right?

  • @TheAMsistas What the Heck Are You Talkin ABOUT?!?! ..You then went to a WHOLE NOTHER SUBJECT!! First of ALL Exotic Women can come in All Colors! Exoticness is Not Based on Skin Color! ..it based on Looks! An as far as those men you were talking about that only like lightskined women Dont worry about them! Forget those Fools and keep on doing You! Simple as that!

  • @kay77764 The word 'exotic' isn't based on looks. Look up the word ya dumb fuck.

  • @kay77764 Exoticism is based on cultural conceptions. White people from Western societies may appear exotic to certain other people, and vice versa.

  • @burrorojo19 everything is relative! Just to expound on what you are saying! What may be the standard of beauty in one culture may differ in another! Gr8 point bro! :) ..and yes Prince is a great musician and people should respect the man despite his personal taste and eccentricities!

  • There is nothing more pathetic than an old sissy.

  • Ionian, Dorian, Phrygian, Lydian, Mixolydian, Aeolian, Locrian, pentatonic minor/major, diminished scale, whole tone scale............

  • @SicheZhang great for you to share all that

  • @ElangaW all good, i'm studying pop music at uni, and we have to learn those theory stuff that I didn't even know and care about 2 years ago.

    And modes and scales are great for musicians to manipulate with appropriate chord progression, even in pop music, like Bohemian Rhapsody. I'm pretty sure greatest artists like Prince and Freddie Mercury know(knew) how to use them creatively.

  • most talented man in history

  • "Mixolodian" scales. smh... seriously? LOL

  • @clairannette what is mixolodian scale he's talkin about ?

  • @JemFontanet As SicheZhang pointed out, they are "mixolydian" (with a Y) scales, which is one of the many modes to which he should have been referring, but he mentioned having a conversation with Beyoncé about "mixolodian" scales. I'm pretty sure he was thinking "nickelodeon" when he said that, while some less than musically educated producer/editor/interviewer didn't catch it to correct him at what could have a really funny TV moment.

  • @clairannette wow thanks for this very precise and well explained answer

  • hfjhghjg @ people denying her talent even after hearing prince praise her. prince is a legend and obviously has knowledge about music.

  • Cool. Prince was in a good mood when the guy asked the question. Every professional vocalist knows that Prince is an incredible vocalist, with an almost endless vocabulary of vocal ideas. In fact, it's so rich, he often changes the mellow to his most popular songs during shows, just to make it abundantly clear he has perfect pitch & harmonic knowledge of every songs he writes. Beyonce is a singer. Prince is a vocalist that can do rifts that go from baritone to falsetto. Flawlessly. Everytime.

  • bullshit....kicking kim kardashian and paris hilton off stage is no comparison to saying that Beyonce is not that talented. lip synching video playing girl.

  • @miamiorlando1 lol, what are you basing your opinion off of? Beyonce excels in every vocal category from power to projection to range to control & technique...saying that she's not vocally talented is just inaccurate...saying you dislike her voice is completely your opinion & I can't criticize that, but saying she's "not that talented" is just false. & I've seen beyonce lipsync (in destiny's child) & its completely obvious; its also obvious when she's not (the vast majority of the time)

  • i agree with that. beyonce's vocals have improved over the years. i loved kelly's voice back then. now when i hear kelly sing live, she sounds nervous

  • Majority of the music legends love Beyonce and appreciate her multitude of talents. Beyonce resonates well with of these legends coz she reminds them of time, when sheer raw talent mattered along with the passion and work ethic behind it. Now days most of the younger artists are not very talented and lazy at the same time.

  • LMAO @haitianprince...Beyonce learnt every scale in the world? Not in a lifetime dude.

  • oh fuckin hell yeah.

  • Prince is composing himself as he answers the question as he knows he has to say "good" things about Beyonce or possibly suffer backlash from some in the industry. He knows this chic is very mediocre at best. A lot of other talent is being suppressed to keep this Beyonce joke on the public's mind.

  • @miamiorlando1 y must u hate?? prince has never been one to hide his feelings about pple. pls stop d hate, it wont make ur life less miserable.

  • @miamiorlando1 You clearly don't know Prince. Prince doesn't bite his tongue for anybody, he always speaks his mind,regardless of who's feelings might get hurt. You better ask Kim K & Paris(both got kicked off of the stage after prince invited on stage, neither could sing or dance when he asked them to). So stop the blatant hate.

  • @miamiorlando1 technically beyonce can sing and yes there are others out there that can best her. but to say she is overrated its nuts b/c people would only be saying that about the next girl to take her place and her place and her place. she's not for everyone and neither is the next girl

  • @miamiorlando1 Ok! i agree with you! ..its crazy! ive never seen the media ask so many celebrities about One artist all the time its ridiculous! But im starting to think that the media might be asking these celebs about her hoping they'll find someone who will finally admit they Dont like her lol you know how the media is (trouble makers).

  • Chile, although prince is biracial - it's definitely his black side that's keeping him looking ever so sexy and prestine!

  • @outofthisworldgurl LMAO AWESOME ! COMMET !

  • Beyonce is only a good school girl... she studies, she knows, she learn a lot... but you can find (even on youtube) people better than her. I have to admit that I don't like Beyonce, I prefer raw voices not so "well-setted" :-) I like Prince, Christina Aguilera, Alicia Keys, Janis Joplin, Bjork, John Legend, JAmes Brown, etc. Raw voices that are versatile, and UNIQUE.

  • @MenichiniOfficial I really don't mean this in a offence way.. You can give a shit about what I think of Beyonce cause I obviously think she's very talented, but if someone like Prince says it who's been around for about 30 years and basically is a living legend you have to admit that there has to be some truth to it.. and as to her voice it's a matter of taste, but I know what you mean :)

  • @Kejenaa - I didn't want to be offensive... I just said what I think about voices like it, that I think is just well made.

  • @MenichiniOfficial Interesting you say all that, Yet i have yet to hear Prince speak or remotely mention Christina aguilera(overrated singer). LOL @ Alicia keys & Christina having raw voices, Please stop! The only on that list with a raw voice is James Brown. Beyonce was smart enough to nurture her vocal talents like the great vocal legends(Whitney & Mariah), hence why she still has a voice and Christina is on vocal decline. Y'all just mad that Prince is praising Beyonce

  • @unbreakablekat - Beyonce studied A LOT. She's lucky to have Jay-Z in her life, and a GREAT BUSINESS FAMILY that created, in the past, her life as a person and as a performer. But Xtina chooses how to sing and dirt her voice, in fact she has such a natural mixed register in her speaking voice (listen to her laughing and her exclamations), but she doesn't like to put it in her live performances, 'cause that "clean, soft, smooth" voice doesn't represent her personality.

  • @MenichiniOfficial I agree shes obviously a beauty but cannot compare with some of the less polished talents. I think half or more of her fame rides on her "image" and hopefully with some work as he mentions she will bring her abilities to meet up with her sex appeal. If she learns piano well thatd be sick.

  • @MenichiniOfficial yeah but can any of them perform like Beyonce ? dance like her have the passion that she has ? no so don't down play her she is amazing and one of a kind

  • @MenichiniOfficial

    absolutely

    but i heard in a quantum world what you just posted mattered

  • @MenichiniOfficial You have the NERVE to say Prince, Christina Aguilera, Alicia Keys, Janis Joplin, Bjork, John Legend, JAmes Brown, are versatile and unique. Girl Bye. I guess you haven't seen the Oscars when she performed with Hugh Jackman, None of the people you named could do that. Beyonce voice is better than everyone you spoke of.

  • @92USboy - Beyonce has just one or two textures in her voice, and she sings EVERYTHING in the same damn way. So she's not versatile, she just has a common well-setted voice, like everybody who has studied a classical method like her, Stevie Wonder and all of them.

  • @92USboy - And just so you know... I saw that performance and I think that the only one great performer was Hugh Jackman, that has a lot of personality and gave to the show that old feeling. Beyonce was gross and "Lady Marmalade" was horrible and without that sexy feeling that the song needed O_O

  • @MenichiniOfficial, if it was all about studying and learning someone else would be right at the top with her. Buuuut, no one is. So let's not act like there is no innate, raw talent there. Btw, Michael & Prince are students of music as well, they've said so in interviews.

  • @so0flawless - You're wrong, because Beyonce had her father, her mother, her cousin and ALL the rest of her family in the music business and a LOT of money to do what they did with the "Destiny's child" and what Jay-Z did for Beyonce... This is not a family... it's a CLAN!!! (O_O)

  • what is prince's ethnicity?

  • @Janoahable deities have no ethnicity

  • @asbojackson1991 well he's not deity, so you are wrong.

  • @Janoahable he is african american but his father is half italian and his mom is half white

  • @Janoahable His mother is Italian/black and his father is black.

  • @outofthisworldgurl someone told me that his dad is half italian. and his mother is half white.

  • @Janoahable Well, last I checked, Italian is considered white (just darker white), so his mom is half and half but I've never heard that about his dad tho.

  • I love him..

  • Prince does not age

  • @Here4BeyonSLAY do u have all the interview with him?

  • know wonder backstage at her intimate concert in vegas she was playing the piano!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! tell em Prince

  • I love Prince's voice!

  • @KinksDoll i'm not going to respond anymore first of all i dont consider myself a prince fan. i was just voicing my opinion of beyonce and everybody wants to beat me up! geeze! who cares if i dont like her? with all of you guys following her to hades and buying all of her music isnt it ok for one person not to like her? get informed

  • at least he gave her advice and didn't suck her toes like everyone else
