First Time Reaction | Prince - When Doves Cry | OH PRINCE IN HIS BAG!

[@hopeklemann1]

🌸 Prince didn't give a fuck what other people thought of him he was an extremely creative artists and he did what he wanted, said what he wanted.... and he was amazing.

[@marilynk30]

Little Red Corvette ❤❤❤❤ Comparing Prince to Michael Jackson is like trying to compare apples to oranges! Both legends but completely different!

[@daveking9393]

Big time!!!!

[@mztweety1374]

OK, let me explain …Michael Jackson You can listen to at the cookout in front of family Prince have to take it in your room and listen to it way low on your speakers or earbuds… Prince has three songs on the Filthy 15 list… And that just scratches the surface😂 Prince is the reason we blush when we here the name Bambi because we know he's not talking about a deer…

[@JJlovesPrince]

One of the most innovative things about this song was that Prince removed the bass. That was unheard of. The story from one of his engineers at that time is that he did the song and it seemed like it was too much so he “unproduced” it and started taking items out. The last thing he took out was the bass and said to this engineer something like, “Ain’t nobody gonna believe I took out the bass.” His record label tried to get him to put it back in, but he refused, and the song became his first #1 and the biggest hit of 1984. That summer was all about this song and video. I hope you’ll continue on your Prince journey! 💜💜💜

[@lisalott4236]

Great reaction by the way. Prince was the master of wrapping lyrics in a bad ass beat while you're grooving you miss the innuendos.

[@kenneth2875]

Should have reacted to the extended version of the video. It is 2 and a half minutes longer with a great guitar solo

[@strictlycasuals2260]

The original lyrics were "this is what it sounds like, when love dies." Prince changed it to "when doves cry." That's why he was a genius.

[@RaynorBear]

This was the shorter 7" single / radio edit of the song. The full length version of the song is a MUST listen to!!! My favorite prince song is "Mountains", which was played during the closing credits of the movie "Under the Cherry Moon". While I will admit that I have never heard Prince's complete discography (which would be a huge undertaking), from the songs I have heard, "Mountains" is quite different. It also has a good official video. For whatever reason, reactors that do reactions to Prince songs seem to mostly ignore it... perhaps because of the fact that it is somewhat different.

[@andibay3736]

Prince was extraordinarily talented and gifted. He could play a plethora of instruments (27), wrote/produced his own music, had incredible sex appeal, crazy good dance moves, exceptional vocal range, and all around over top creativity. 🔥🔥🔥✨💫💐 I adored MJ, but if I had to choose who is most talented, it would hands down be Prince.

[@gregcummings2826]

I used to always say, Michael Jackson was like Bill Cosby, The whole family including Grandma could listen to him. Prince was more Richard Pryor, you had to wait until Grandma and the kids were asleep and go down in the basement to listen to him. Lol cause he was a badd man!!!

[@Frostrazor]

well put.

[@georgiadailey182]

Yep, there was a reason he was dubbed "His Royal Badness".

[@thecrye6798]

This version cuts off the amazing solo at the end. When it comes to the Prince / KJ rivalry, I never felt there was a comparison. Prince is a multi-instrumentalist. That in itself sets him apart.

[@BridewellSeniorTube]

Prince actually has a massive variety of styles. And a great range of amazing musical and catchy songs. However, the whole issue of sex, romance and glamour is quite a common theme in his music. Im not complaining 😅

[@oskarobit]

That rivalry between him an MJ never existed, people made it up. In the real world you can compare your self why Prince didn't care a F what people said about that. Compare: · MJ needed armies of producers, composers and musicians to write simple song (2 years for the album 'BAD'). He lip-sync a lot and you never will watch him playing an instrument. · Prince composed the music, the lyrics, recorded all the instruments, all the vocals and background vocals, mixed and produced everything in this song IN ONLY TWO DAYS; with the only external help of Peggy "Mac" McCreary. And in the last minute, Prince decided the song wouldn't have a bass... He always played live and you should watch him playing guitar, bass, drums or piano as he had dedicated one life to learn each of them. Try for guitar and bass: LA Forum Play That Funky Music/Hollywood Swinging/Fantastic Voyage Try for drums one of these: America official video live --- OR --- It's Gonna Be A Beautiful Night For piano one of these: Piano medley Lovesexy Tour Dortmund --- OR --- Prince Piano Jazz Summertime. Peace!

[@joshjacobs3906]

Let's Go Crazy for an upbeat, rockin' banger.... .wait to you hear what he can do with a guitar!🤘🔥🔥🔥

[@racing2cat]

Prince was all about the innuendo! "Darling Nikki" and "Cream" are the 2 main examples that immediately come to mind. And yes, please watch "Purple Rain," clips of which were used in this video. 🙂❤

[@darrenmcclean5199]

Only 40 albums to get through!! 💜

[@cflournoy1529]

Prince was definitely rated R and even X at times but we loved it!!😂😂 Also a lot of people tell reactors to start with his 1999 or Purple Rain albums. As a longtime fan of Prince I suggest you start at the beginning and start with the first song that made him a hit here in Detroit. It’s called Soft and Wet and came out in 1978 I believe. Look up his catalog and take it from there.😉💜

[@borngifted5398]

NO NO NO, You did the wrong version !!! You should do a ReReaction to Prince - When Doves Cry "Extended Music Video ONLY !!!!!" 💯

[@desertflow3r]

You got it! Kids could stay in the room when MJ song was played but I had to sneak and listen to Prince at a totally different household.

[@tinaotero5843]

He was gifted, he played 27 instruments by ear.

[@timbaker6540]

He could do it all

[@kali550]

This was a one man band performance. He played all the instruments & did all the vocals himself. I may not be remembering this correctly but i believe that this was also written and recorded in one day.

[@cryptozoomauler5505]

He says in the video that Prince wrote this and one other song overnight. The truth though is that he had come up with the synth parts on the first night and did everything else the second night.

[@stellamorgan482]

If you want to do another commercial success from Prince do "Little Red Corvette" next. The thing with Prince is that he did every genre to perfection...in fact he was a genre of his own! I could name at least 20 songs to check out but personally I like his live clips from his concerts best. So I suggest also going down that rabbit hole after you knock out some of his more popular stuff.

[@valogden]

There's a song of his called The Ride. You should check it out and then watch 15 yr old Taj Farrant perform it at the 40th anniversary celebration for Prince and the release of Purple Rain. One of the estate managers asked him to play it and he did a fantastic job. I think he might have got a little flack from his fans because of the sexual innuendos. He now performs it and just sings the first verse and then just goes to town with his guitar solo. When I was at his Phoenix show, a member of Prince's backing band, New Power Generation, was there to watch his show. Taj has been accepted by Prince's fans and band. Prince would have loved Taj. Taj did get to hear some unreleased Prince music in the vault. Prince's music director Morris Hayes played on Taj's song Mumma Raised a Man on his album. Enjoy! You're going to be blown away like everyone else by Taj Farrant. It's really sad he didn't get a chance to meet Prince. The two of them performing together would have blown people's minds. Prince was one of the best guitar players. Taj has the capability to be the best. He's only 15 and look what he's doing! When you talk to him he's great but when he picks up a guitar and starts playing you realize you are in the presence of someone special. It's hard to explain you have to see him live to understand. I'm sure Prince had the same quality.

[@cryptozoomauler5505]

"Parental Advisory" stickers only came into existence BECAUSE of Prince. 2 Live Crew got some notoriety from them as well, but it was Tipper Gore, Al Gore's wife, who started them based on hearing Prince "Darling Nikki" from hearing her daughter listening to it on the Purple Rain soundtrack. Well before Purple Rain, he had a slew of R-rated bangers.

[@robinmullins2454]

Bro you need to watch his concerts and award show performances!! He was amazing!!! And make sure you check out his concert movie sign o the times!! Oh watch video get it off and batman!! There was nooo competition between MJ and Prince!! Prince played 27 instrument masterfully, wrote sang, arranged, produced, and played every instrument on his albums! Eric Clayton was asked how did it feel to be the best guitar player ever he said I don't know you gotta ask Prince that question!! His video was cool but check out his live concert footage!! Prince slow songs was sooo awsome and sensual, definitely he showed his vulnerable! All the music in purple rain was written by Prince and recorded live in the movie!! This guy was a musical GENIUS!!! RIP YOUR ROYAL BADNESS 💜

[@scotthovland7380]

This one launched him into the stratosphere. MJ was a great singer and performer Prince was a genius💜✌

[@tracynorman1455]

Funny you called this risqué. I guess it is, but compared to other Prince songs it’s pretty tame. This song is what made me fall in love with Prince when I was just 12 years old back in 1984.

[@Thomas-aka-TomD]

I've always looked at Michael Jackson and Prince like the Beatles and the Stones....MJ and The Beatles a bit more pop and The Stones and Prince edgier. Check a LIVE of Prince doing "Its Gonna be a Beautiful Night" with Shiela E. You get to see the full package!!

[@KimbaLoveAdams]

There was no rivalry between them as far as they were concerned. They had two different types of music. People pegged them against each other because of the times and they are two black artists. But I loved both equally. I wouldn’t choose between them.

[@KimbaLoveAdams]

Plus Prince couldn’t care less about anyone’s opinion on him so there was no need to compete. There was room for both. Separately.

[@reneeroxanneabeln2202]

I'm so happy you're listening to Prince! 💜I always liked them both, but as I've gotten older Prince is more my thing. He was so experimental and exceptional and weird - I hadn't experienced anything like him when he broke onto mainstream radio. I always looked at him as being similar to David Bowie - extremely prolific, multi-talented, multi-instrumentalists, brave, and committed to music. They also both clearly understood the role of persona and Art. And his charisma and performance ability - OFF the CHARTS! of course, I live in MN so I do have a lot pride for our homegrown son! 😁 I HIGHLY recommend "Kiss."

[@michaelbriefs9764]

Did you download the album yet? The version of When Doves Cry you just watched/heard was the single version, which was faded out early. On the album, there is about another minute or so to the song. But, you will want to listen to the whole album and we appreciate that you are doing more Prince! You will love all of this and please to listen to songs even if they don't have a video.

[@Lovejazz01]

You should do “Little Red Corvette “ next , another big 80’s hit that captures the essence of him , after watching the “Purple Rain “ video, most reactors get it when they see Little Red Corvette . After that , you have a whole 70’s, 80’s 90’s , 00’s and 20’s worth of material from Prince to check out , as this was very successful but just a small chapter of his brilliance . No point in comparing Prince to MJ, Prince was a whole different monster, he was considered a modern Mozart. He could sing, dance , write music, produce , arrange, sing every track, play every instrument in the studio , and perform it live better than anyone. When you hear any song by Prince, most probably he played every single instrument , maybe except for horns and strings. Micheal performed and released music since his childhood , and Prince made up for that by producing more music than anyone else in his adult life.

[@jaccilowe3842]

Still one of my fave songs ever!

[@timcliffsmith]

This and Raspberry Beret are probably my two prince favs. Having said that, there are soooo many others. Also, this 'R rating' is a 'PG rating' compared with some of Prince's other stuff.

[@CB-kj6xw]

I think Diamonds and Pearls. :)

[@CVernRock]

Can't believe there's people in this world that's never heard of Prince! You should watch the movies; Purple Rain, Under The Cherry Moon and Graffiti Bridge.

[@stevengifford7457]

Michael got his start before he was 10 years old and had to wait more than 10 years to have control over his own music. If you want to see Prince at his most awesomeness, watch his Super Bowl halftime show in the rain.

[@A.Light33]

Yes Prince was rated R especially back then.

[@orlandoochoada2242]

The music videos are fine, but the live performances are spectacular. The piano medley from the lovesexy tour is worth checking out, as is his acoustic performance of "Cream". His Superbowl halftime show is considered the greatest of all time and the press conference before the game was great as well.

[@kg7507]

I love the jewelry drip 💎✨

[@tinaotero5843]

Start with his first Hit, Soft and Wet 🎶🎼🎤🎸

[@awparadoxx]

Young Bro! I’m so happy to hear that you’re going down the Prince rabbit hole! I have two immediate suggestions for you… First one is watch the movie purple rain, if you haven’t already. Second is watch the live performance of purple rain from Syracuse. You’re lucky dude because there is so much prince material for you to discover and enjoy. Believe me when I say… He’s much more than you could ever imagine he is! Buckle your seatbelts for this experience. It’s gonna be a bumpy ride but a very, very cool one. I’m a prince fanatic of over 45 years so if there’s anything you wanna know about Prince feel free to hit me up and I’ll have the answer for you. Peace and be wild! 💜🙏🏽

[@77summertime]

There was NO rivalry between Michael Jackson and Prince. I don’t understand why these younger generations always have a need to put people against one another or have these challenges or pranking. Maybe the need to feel important or liked? MJ and Prince were each great in their own right and respected each other. Both super nice guys.

[@OlleStahlberg]

✨💜✨39 albums in 39 years (1977-2016) as a recording artist, so yes, there's more t discover😎

[@dundundata7603]

bro there's another version of this song/video with an extended outro

[@nonenone6884]

prince had already had this song it was called when doves scream

[@SueMbi]

The Prince,/MJ "rivalry" was greatly contrived by the industry and the tabloids. Prince was just too outspoken and too much of an activist therefore was a thorn in their side. But too much of a money maker to do anything about it.

[@maryewilson2009]

Please, the next Prince reaction, you have to watch him Live. You have not seen the man dance yet!!!

[@DavidRogers-g8d]

Michael Jackson was the king of pop the best ever, He was a legend he was everything, The King of Pop, Prince was Rock,Pop,Jazz, Blues, genres, He wasn't a one-trick Pony. He was a band leader, He was a songwriter, He produced 38th albums,, He played multiple instruments, He was a dancer not good as Michael, when he passed away, a person that was really close to him that played in his band, Said he had enough music in that vault, that a person could put out an album a year for the next hundred years, I know it sounds crazy but I believe it. He wrote a song a day, He was a prolific writer, created the melodies The arrangements, He gave quite a few female a an opportunity that they wouldn't have got anywhere else to work with a master . John Blackwell with that Paisley Park when Prince passed he was paying his respect, He said Prince gave him an opportunity, to play in his band for 16 years and when he was talking he was tearing up, you could tell that he was grieving and he was also grateful.

[@teriwilkinson7816]

Woo hoo my favorite ❤❤❤

[@LeanaJudisch]

Enjoy his super bowl performance.

[@innerscapearts]

If you want a song from Purple Rain that's as beautiful and emotional as the title track, try "The Beautiful Ones". Such an underrated, amazing song.

[@shadow7796]

You should see both of the movies "Purple Rain" and "Graffiti Bridge."

[@dsmith6199]

You need to see the extended version of this video.

[@ktrsBklyn]

Of course Michael was the biggest pop star in the world but Prince was MASSIVE. This album was HUGE.

[@awomanperiod.9507]

I find it hard to believe this is the first time you've heard this song. Come on.

[@JazMegan]

Prince and MJ are completely different artists. Prince is an incredible musician as well as an amazing performer, songwriter and producer. I agree though that MJ was more liked and pushed more among the masses because he was very PG where as Prince was himself, which was shown through all of his written songs, who was the complete opposite of PG. Love both artists but Prince was like no other

[@grendeltech]

Michael Jackson would never have recorded a song like Darling Nikki or Gett Off 😂

[@mztweety1374]

I was not happy that this song head no base on the record. And then I Saw them in concert I was like OK, forgiven… What? His bass player was stupid stupid hot😂 Oh, also RIP Cat Glover from sign o the Times and Lovesexy.

[@amannamedbriggs6662]

And welcome to your deep dive into the Prince music rabbit hole. It's going to be a great journey for you to listen through. His music is gonna cover happiness, sadness, vindication, love and hate., but all in a good way to experience. When doves cry was recorded and mixed in 2 days. All sounds on this song was done by 1 person. Oh and another little piece of music history is that he removed the bass from his final mix of the song. For your next song of Prince, may I recommend Sign O' The Times. He tells ya what was going on in the world in 1987. kzbin.info/www/bejne/l3alpXmFn7l4qtksi=L_TSN0TR7blXY7Xh

[@richardkint6531]

To compare Michael Jackson to Prince is like comparing apples & oranges. Prince had many "R" rated songs like "Get Off' & "Dirty Mind" He also was a great guitarist. Need to see his guitar work in "Let's Go Crazy". His Grammy winning Purple Rain Soundtrack has sold over 13 million copies! Yes, check out the movie also!👍

[@charliecochran3035]

Another difference between them is that Prince was multi-instrumental and a great guitarist. MJ was a singer and dancer. Both great entertainers though. This is my favorite Prince song

[@ronnix23]

The funny thing about you saying Prince was more raunchy than MJ based on this song, is that this was Prince’s biggest commercial hit. When Doves Cry was the #1 song for all of 1984. Prince was definitely more R rated than Michael, but this song would not be my example of that. Songs like Erotic City, Gett Off, and Darlin’ Nikki are a better example of this.

[@jabreck1934]

Charlie Murphy story about prince!!! He has to see it now. Right?👍

[@johndavidhenderson3640]

Awesome Prince reactions...please continue his catalog is huge. Checkout "Darling Nikki" 🙂

[@johnathansmom121]

Watch live performance of Motherless Child from 1999. Just watch him perform live. You can’t miss and you won’t be sorry.

[@dianehovland9579]

RIP Cat Glover Please play something from the Sign O the Times album. Maybe If I Was your girlfriend or I could never take the place of your man . Just subscribed to the channel can’t wait for you to hear more Prince

[@ccjtv809]

Noooo you have to listen to the extended version

[@RESET1776]

100% watch the movie 👍

[@KimbaLoveAdams]

Check out Darling Nikki 😊

[@leeharrison8222]

Warning: “Darling Nikki “ is an R-rated performance. It should be kept in mind for anyone considering doing a reaction to it. NOT a family, friendly song! Matter fact, Darling Nikki was one of the filthy 15 (songs) that’s the PMRC used to justify the implementation of the then-new parental advisory stickers on albums and CDs, and remains in effect to this day. (Prince actually had two songs on the filthy 15. One was Darling Nikki, and the other was Sugar Walls, which he wrote and produced for one of his then-love interests, popular Scottish singer Sheena Easton.)

[@you2449]

Oh, No. It's the Short version of the video - - Sorry, I'm done at 7:30 - - I liked what you had to say, but I just can't listen to reactions to the short version. When you hear the Complete version you'll understand why.

[@karenalves8100]

ABSOLUTELY AGREE! You got a lot of work to do YoungBlood! Get to Steppin'!

[@DonaldToran]

Empty Room/Elixir live in Montreux

[@Crystal_Abbott-jn6xs]

Dang it! They cut the song in the video you chose (and the video was shortened). Huge difference between Prince and Michael. Prince could play instruments plus read/write music. Still have not mentioned Prince discovered and promoted other artists. Michael had talent but Prince had way more. Little Red Corvette, Raspberry Beret, I Would Die for You could be good next options. The movie is awesome and hits several of Prince’s biggest hits.

[@nonenone6884]

thank you but why did"t you do the whole video it"s like 6 mins

[@whattheplucked9576]

You should listen to darling Nikki by prince next.

[@001rnv]

Initially there was a comparison between Michael and Prince, but that comparison disappeared real quick though. Michael was an entertainer, Prince was a musician. You’re going to have to let go of comparing the two. It’s apples and oranges. Respect to both, but Prince WAS music.

[@karenalves8100]

YAAASSSSS!

[@richardlandrum1966]

Please refer to him as "the artist formerly known as".... There are very valid reasons why he changed his name.

[@lethasatterfield9615]

Prince was awesome! He was a creative genius, without a doubt. He was also sexy as hell and was ALWAYS surrounded by beautiful women. Michael really wasn't into women a whole lot. That's all I have to say about that. Michael may have been obsessed with Prince, but I seriously doubt Prince gave a flying eff about Michael.

[@cathymiller4172]

This is from the movie, too.

[@SoulBrother_01]

Do his very first video I Wanna Be Your Lover from 1978.

[@ememnicholas565]

Prince had his raunchy side, this song is mild compared to some of his songs. I think a lot of that stemmed from his anger and ultimately his war with his record companies. I think it was his big "FU", like him saying"try to make money off this you greedy bastards". I also think that the war cost him a lot during the 1980's and 90's, at least until he got out from under the contracts that he hated. I don't really know much about it, except I do remember the whole name change and how he subsequently dropped off in regular radio rotation. Some of that I would say was by his own actions as he had to know his more risque releases would not get as much radio or MTV play, at least back then.

[@nonenone6884]

please do a america or bat dance

[@jackrenolyds933]

Michael is great but Prince was at a different level.

[@gfanarakos]

[@BlackValyria]

PLZ react to the MOVIE Purple Rain

[@UncleRandy73]

Hey MJ’s “Dirty Diana” ain’t got sht on Prince’s “Darlin Nikki” …. Trust me

[@karenalves8100]

Truth!!!

[@IC27185]

I think Prince is more rock pop and because he is a fantastic guitarist I wonder if Jimmy Page, the best guitarist ever in my opinion and founder of the Led Zeppelin group had the most influence on Prince. Jimmy Page and Led Zeppelin also had a lot of songs about sex. But if you look at the way Jimmy Page dressed in the mid 60's you will see a lot of lace, long over coats, crushed velvet and big hair like Prince wore 20 years later. Jimi Hendrix also dressed that way. And almost every top guitarist list, Jimmy Page comes in 2nd and Jimi Hendrix as #1 guitarist. And I would like to reiterate again Prince is an amazing guitarist.

[@tlucas9798]

Go early. “Controversy”

[@Tessiefaye]

No comparison. Prince was a complete entertainer, song writer of 1000's of songs both for himself and others. Prince could play, expertly 21 instruments, and has played every instrument on every song on some of his albums Price could act and dance as well as MJ. Prince was a complete innovator of a musical genre. NO comparison. As far as I know MJ sang and danced. I have seen them both in concert. MJ with the J5 and singularly. I've seen Prince 3 times in concert. No comparison and Princ'es vocal range was superior to MJ's People love comparing because they were both spectacular in their time and they looked. little bit alike.

[@sabredesatanas518]

Watch the movie!!!

[@jazshas]

Prince's music had more depth and was more adult imo.

[@kevinhurston1555]

There was no rivalry between Prince and Michael. They were totally different and Prince was waaay more talented. They were just both black young men who were the most successful so they were compared to one another

[@SharilynBratton]

Why does one have to be ‘better’ so tired of artists not just being taken by their own measure with the only ‘comparison’ being to their own body of work in toto.

[@Abri412]

Prince was SO much sexier than Michael. Even in his clean songs and even before we found out things we didn't want to know about Michael. Prince was about 5'3" and it didn't matter. You make music like Prince and women (and men) fall at your feet. I don't trust adult humans who don't feel that pull in his music.

[@dragonballz4998]

I stopped listening and watching anything Michael Jackson when I was 13 or so. It was the same stuff over and over. Even in his later years he still did the same stuff. He would come out on stage, freeze, tilt hat, grab crotch, lift leg, shake knee, slide around a little bit, freeze, pretend to be a robot, freeze, little pop and lock and then start lip syncing . No thanks. Thanks Michael for 'Off The Wall', 'Thriller', and 'Bad', but now you got to go, sheet starting getting weird and boring. I've always said Michael Jackson is for kids and Prince is for adults. I've never compared the two. Michael wasn't complicated and with Prince he never stayed the same, always evolving, musically, fashion, genre, new creative ideas, his mind never shut off, he continued to write new songs, stayed busy, you never knew what you were gunna get.
