"Diamonds and Pearls, Prince: Right now, it's good to be Prince. But I'd like to go back to 1991, when his Royal Badness released this tepid, lazily written ditty of lurve. Can you explain why the genius who penned the brilliant line "I guess I should have known from the way you parked your car sideways that it wouldn't last" was reduced to pap like "If I gave you diamonds and pearls, would you be a happy boy or a girl"? Ugh! It makes me cranky!" http://www.palmbeachpost...._0704.html Oh, and don't forget Rosies bridge lyric "D to the I to the A to M..... O to the N to the D to the pearls of love." Damn, my skin is crawling just thinking about that cheesy lyric. Blech! | |

"Diamonds And Pearls" is pretty darn inventive and original a song. Bet the writer just didn't know too many Prince songs to begin with - if you had to pick up "one lousy song by this great artist" the devotees would have no problem naming several titles from his late-90s period. | |

Anxiety said: kev1n said: funny, a few years back everyone was yelling that prince should hire outside producers, should reconnect with the mainstream-pop-audience, should be more mtv-accessible...yet when he tries it in 1991, and succeeded you didn't like it. curious.
1. screw MTV; 2. he's reconnected and then some this year, this time on his own terms and with lots more class and integrity; 3. if i ever want prince to work with an outside producer, it would be so someone could pull more experimentation and color outta the little dude. i don't think he needs it right now, though i think there was a time not too long ago when he was hurtin' for some collaboration. that said, i really think D&P is a corny, overblown, garish song - all i can think of is tommy barbarella doing hairflips behind a ballet troupe  - but something about it keeps me from full-on hating it. i mean, this is classic frilly purple-paisley twirley-fartsy high-heeled mascara-wearin' PRANCE at his perfumed and powdered finest. at least he's giving 100%, even if i think it's 100% TACKY!Anxiety you crack me up! "Why'd I waste my kisses on you baby?" R.I.P. Prince You've finally found your way back home. Well Done. | |
