He looked so pissed like this is not what I do !! Yes I can dance but I can also sing live and do that at the same time so let me make sure while I chew this Bubblegum!! The funny thing is so many people thought he can chew gum and sing at the same time..lol!! Because it's Prince he doesn't lip sync.. poor guy jackasses the academy always trying to have their way

Prince IS the King of Arriving! . Everybody else just gets on stage.... Prince ARRIVES, then blows them the fuck away. Never will be anyone like him. One of a kind. One supernatural talent that no one will ever see the likes of again. Prince has expired in body, but never spiritually. He’ll always be in Paisley Park, and in our hearts, forever. 💞

In my opinion, he was like Picasso in music. The innovation he developed and boundaries he pushed out on we all weren’t able to grasp right away. It would have been so great to see where he went over a long life. R.I.P. Meistro.
At 3:55 is litteraly the most badass thing I've seen in MY LIFE, just like the way he rose up from the floor

What you witnessed was The Soulful Uncut Strike a Pose/Funky Model,beautiful Music Man. His body was music. Everything he did was locked into a Groove he could not get out of. PRINCE was,lost and found, at the same time. He was lost in the music,sometimes,he did not want to be found, and had the nerve to have accurate direction.Indeed,Prince was bad, Still is. I am 54 years old. Back in 1970,as a Kid. I saw James Brown at the ''Apollo''. I saw Magic. Funk Magic,with Bobby Byrd, Prince and The Time! The Best ever! When you said,The most Bad ASS MOVE YOU EVER SEEN IN YOUR LIFE? Me too my friend,me too

I still remember the moment I first saw it. I recorded the AMAs that year, I had just turned 13. I watched my tape later and already loved the performance but at that moment I remember thinking "Who is THAT?!" Couldn't take my eyes off of him. I watched this performance over and over and have been a Prince fanatic ever since, I think I fell in love with him at that moment!

The cameramen were slick! Whenever the choreography got too dirty, they pulled the shot back so far, the viewers at home could barely see what was going on. During the rehearsals, the censors were in the audience critiquing the show. Prince told the dancers to skip the risque parts, so the censors would be shocked during the live performance. Obviously, the censors had a plan B.

It was Prince's choice not to sing live. Dick Clark let Prince do whatever he wanted. I think Prince didn't want the difference in sound between all the hits (while the dancers danced) and the gold experience songs not sounding on par with the prerecorded hits. It just would have sounded not as great. Prince was not allowed to sing live on soul train and the World Music Awards. Sometimes he chose not to because he could not trust the sound mix for live air tv shows.

@@jjjones8609 On page 169 of Mayte's book. She states that the show organizers wouldn't let him play "LIVE". They wanted him to lip sync so there'd be no surprises and because of Union Laws. He said he would not use a microphone then. So he brazenly chews gum. He knew there were censors in the audience. So they toned the show down. Omitting the part where the Dancers rip off their panties..Lol.....Another weird thing I noticed after reading Mayte's book. She said on several occasions that Prince would hypnotize her. WTH!

The choreography at 4:05 is called the Billy Jack Bitch... at least, that's what I call it. After this performance, I went to a club and had everyone doing that dance. I was also sucking on a 🍭while I was ripping up the dance floor. LOL Those were fun times. I miss Prince's presence in this world. The man was a creative genius. Our musical landscape will never be as lush or green, without him.

R.I.P To my musical hero favorite and genius. Thankfully he left behind hundreds of hours of music to enjoy. An if they ever release what he did and put away in his vault another 100+ albums easily so everyone close to him says.
One of my all time fave performances from him, Prince n Mayte great performing together ❤
There is / was only ONE KING , he was the most coolest talented human being that ever walked this Earth ❤️❤️✌️ and also beautiful inside and out … without being disrespectful the sexiest 🫢
Prince will always be the purple prince
The finest thin looking man that ever walked the earth
eye hate u,is one of his greatest songs. so different than the rest. love it.
There will never be another.
The Gold Experience is one of my all-time favorite albums and SO underrated!
Every time I see these or hear him. I m glad that I lived in the time and same space as him. So many great Artists have gone on. My era was Prince. Always so mysterious and unique. Miss his talent.
The fact Prince and Mayte were madly in love here makes it even better (or sadder) to watch them dance and perform together. I am forever impressed how Prince could dance, jump, make those spins etc in high heels with such enery, play on every possible instrument and being Master in it, and along all of that singing with unbelievable vocal range that rather seemed as if thousand phenomenal singers are singing not only one man. Here in this performance I believe it was the only time he lip sang (but who cares, MJ did it all time :-) ) , but his whole career the man was doing really IMPOSSIBLE things. He is undoubtedly the greatest musician genius of all time and remains unbeatable and irreplaceable not only till today but for always.💜🌟

Mental Steak it was released by WB and NPG records, almost a year after he orginally wanted it to be released. The back of case even has the WB logo on it. He wanted to release "Come" and "The Gold Experience" at the same time, but WB would not. Prince went on to promote the album regardless, and would even make references saying "The never to be released Gold Experience". By the time it was released, the war between him and WB was in full bloom, and the hype for the album had died. In my opinion, WB put this album out of print, just to stick it to Prince.
