Diamonds and pearls. Somehow, those things ARE Prince. Or the other way around. Oh, and I forgot gold. Golden skin. Golden mind. 24 karat talent, adorned with diamonds and pearls. And royal purple. This is one his very best songs. And he is one the very best artists of the past 50 years. Musician, singer, writer, producer..........oh, and one of the best dressers too! And, he ain't half bad lookin' either. I salute you O Royal One. Play on.
Thanks for the email strangely much hugs for the continuing support he won't ever change like they say don't know what you got until it's gone I deserve the best your'e absolutely right,xo
@84iluvrock Insanity. Nothing can ever be better than an original, really, because without it, there would be nothing at all. Now THAT is fact (as opposed to "opinion"). But--It can be different or really damn good. That said, not to knock JB or anything, but realistically I doubt Justin Beiber's rendition of this would be anywhere near this bc he probably isn't even old/mature enough yet to understand the depth of this song. And he doesn't have that sultry element to his voice like Prince here.
This sing is amazing. It pisses me off, though, that I have so many favorite Prince songs. It seems like he just can't make a mediocre song. They're all great!
I never cared about diamonds and pearls… YOU are diamonds and pearls… I only want you… that is all I ever wanted… did you not KNOW how much YOU are worth? Did you not know how much your love is worth to me? Did you not know? I always always knew…
I usually hate comparing artists/band but Prince was TEN TMES the musician Michael Jackson ever was. Argueably the greatest artist/performer America has ever offered.
MY HUSBAND AND I TO PRINCE CONCERT FOR HIS BIRTHDAY AND IT WAS WORTH EVERY DIME. PRINCE IS AWESOME IN CONCERT. IF HE EVER START TOURING AGAIN, GO AND SEE HIM BECAUSE HE IS WORTH IT AND IT WILL BE STANDING ROOM ONLY.
@therealtoribrooke123 nah your WRONG prince roger nelson along with R kelly are in class by them self when it comes to wrIting and producing TRACKS prince have multiple HOT tracks dating back from the late 70s
Hands down one of my favorite Prince songs ever and on a side note why are we debating who's better both artists had the upmost respect for each other because they were the best at doing them so much love to both of them
@lilb7444 I guess you know since you was that little boy.....Now why did you return the second time ? I heard that you said "I had the besties nigth mommy!!!! can i go back again!!! DUDE LAY THE HELL OFF MJ !!!! !!!!!!
"Musical Literacy is when you can't see that Michael Jackson and Prince have their own styles of entertaining the world"! "Both of them are spectacular entertainers"!! "RESPECT THE DIFFERENTS BETWEEN TWO AMAZING ENTERTAINERS THAT WE ALL LOVE"!!! "R.I.P. THE KING OF POP Mj"!! "LIVE ON PRINCE OF MUSIC"!!!!
The female singer with Prince is Rosie Gaines, sorry..I wanted to know before seeing these comment, and my search came up with Roise..she was the gal! No to take anything away from Vesta!
@reachforthepeach Rest In peace to Vesta, but...backround on this song is Rosie Gaines...she was with the NPG "The New Power Generation"...remember "Graffiti Bridge"....but still salute to all of our fallen
I know, I know, everybody is entitled their opinion. But, look at those numbers! 1258 to 12. That's 100 to 1. Lopsided vote if ever there was one. Granted, this NOT the best video any of us have seen. But, this music......... This is Prince. Not at his best, but damn close. And that's enough for me.
omg i am in heaven! =) this is my favorite song in my young years!! iam from germany...but this the song gives me the feeling when i was 6 years old!! awesome!
