HE PUT IT ALL TOGETHER ON THIS ONE! First Time Hearing Prince - Baby I'm A Star Reaction!

[@jeanniedebartolo5965]

I would Die for You is another great song 💜

[@a.bertasso1298]

I always remember a radio version where this morphs into I Would Die For You....or the other way around.

[@Panda_man..]

@@a.bertasso1298yeah you’re correct, there’s versions of the two where it goes from I would die for you and then straight into Baby I’m a star. Almost as if it’s one big song.

[@a.bertasso1298]

I was pretty young then. So I was thinking...did I imagine that? But from what I remember, they seem to belong together.@@Panda_man..

I always loved his song: KISS!!! He put on SUCH a GREAT SHOW!! SO GOOD!!! His DANCE moves ALWAYS amazed me - I think that's why he hurt so much, later in life. Prince was only 5' 2"...and, wore heels all the time - and, he did all that dancing and difficult dance moves in heels!! TOUGH on your BODY!!! He was JUST AMAZING!!! He is SORELY MISSED!! RIP, PRINCE!! HUGS, YA'LL!!! Thanks for the reactions!!

[@Andy-l6y]

You need to see the live version to get an appreciation of how great of a performer he was.

[@mharrislove]

You gotta' move beyond this Prince can only be 'high energy' thing; he is a certifiable ballad master (Adore, Do Me Baby, Shhh, Insatiable, Beautiful Ones, etc.). Get on board, you'll thank me later. 🎶

[@JazMegan]

It’s crazy because if you start reacting to him live, you’ll see he sounds the exact same with the same high energy performance he puts on. He definitely put out music for nearly every genre. There’s so much to discover from him

[@LaMonatrod]

This is from the Purple Rain film. The soundtrack is awesome. "Let's go crazy" is a very high energy song and also from the film.

[@carolsanchez2528]

U guys haven’t even nicked the surface! I’ve been with him since the beginning-Soft and Wet. They’ll never B another!

[@brentgunderson1349]

Me too.

[@jjjones8609]

Prince song KISS is an R&B MASTERPIECE. Funky falsetto song.

[@dmnddog7417]

As far as other of his great live performances, see stuff from the "Sign 'O' The Times" concert film: "Play In The Sunshine," "Housequake," "I Could Never Take The Place of Your Man," "Hot Thing," "If I was Your Girlfriend," "It's Gonna Be A Beautiful Night." Heck, just watch the whole concert, it's so good. You can't go wrong with any of his live performances from any era. He was incredible.

Now y'all really have got to hear "Morris Day and the Time"!! While you're really feeling the vibe of the movie. 👍

Still gotta check out “let’s go crazy” and let me tell ya….u will love the high energy in that song!!

[@starlightperkins330]

Prince and MJ are James Brown's legacy. If there were no JB there'd be no MJ or Prince. Prince would also be a part of the legacy of one of the architects of rock n roll itself, Little Richard.

[@319hmh]

Need to watch the "America" live performance video. You can see him play guitar and drums with the high energy you are looking for.

[@SueMbi]

Does every performance need to be so high energy. In humanity there are a myriad of emotions and emotional energy. He ran the gammit of energies.

[@RockaRolla1971]

Lets go crazy... Highest energy Prince

[@jenniferfoster1692]

He was already very successful before the Purple Rain album, with the 1999 album (& was already successful even before that, too). Everyone on the planet knew the song 1999 and we were all calculating how old we'd be in 1999. And of course the song was played at midnight around the world when 1999 rolled around. But yes, Purple Rain the album and movie raised him up to even more established global icon.

[@beckiramsey9561]

Yeah, Prince is awesome with his style, vocals, , dancing his entire presence is so great!!❤❤❤ Love all of his videos and the movie!!🍿 🎥 I hope you guys react to more! ❤❤

[@laurasmith4435]

Let's go crazy, not the radio version, have to listen to the album version. And I would Die for You!! Two greats among many ❤

[@Kai2times]

When doves cry or darling Nikki

[@AlexisLexLexi]

“Adore” is my absolute favorite especially highlighting Prince’s vocal range.

[@you2449]

Lord Have Mercy - - they're not ready for *Adore*! Maybe in 2025.

[@rogerdaly6326]

Just to shed some light on how prolific a songwriter Prince was , when the Purple Rain movie came out they interviewed his co-star Appolonia. She said that at the time of the movie release , Prince already had the music recorded for 10 albums. Said he could release them the next day if he wanted to. Most artist are lucky if they record 10 albums in their entire career.

[@zshakur]

Not to mention he wrote ALL the songs for the movie "Purple Rain" His, Apollonia's, and Morris Day's

[@darrenmcclean5199]

Check out some of his live gigs guys, u want energy? This is where you'll find it!💜

[@Dirtcake71]

Oh my God! The Prince rabbit hole is DEEP! You should check out is live performance of "Motherless Child!" He shows why he's one of the best guitarists of all time!

[@tracynorman1455]

The video was from the movie but the recording was done live at the club First Avenue that was featured in the film. I Would Die 4 U, Baby I’m a Star and Purple Rain were recorded live at a benefit concert he did at First Avenue and used for the album. You should check out anything live by Prince especially from the 80’s and 90’s if you want the high energy and dancing. He was still high energy in the 2000’s but he stopped doing the splits and some other stuff. I saw him in concert in 2004 and 2011 and it was awesome. America is a great choice because he plays the guitar and also the drums. It’s from 1985.

[@bobhoffman9848]

If you want a lot of energy and fun, check out Prince's "Play In The Sunshine & Housequake."

[@Wine-N-Steak]

Prince "Why You Wanna Treat Me So Bad"

[@nobodysbusiness566]

Prince was a true star, hit after hit and everyone seemed to like him and all of his music back then at least here in Australia. I like his music still, and I think the young people would to, if they had never heard it before, and you didn't tell them that it was old first. I lalso ove his raunchy song Darling Niki check that out!

[@msmrsro]

I was in high school when this came out, class of 86. I also remember state dance competition, high kick, when this song was popular.

[@kimking6036]

Prince and Micheal learned dance moves from James Brown growing up. 1999, Let's go crazy, U got the look are a few more

[@xayjay2011]

Let's go crazy live is the best!

[@geraldthompson1670]

Prince is also a music writer for many stars

[@randallwilson5361]

My favorite song of his.

[@Davelakful]

Can't believe you reacted to this tune! Awesome. One of my fav workout tunes back in the day.

[@chica4530]

Don't underestimate Prince when it comes to dancing and singing at the same time. Yes, this was from the film Purple Rain but Prince rarely lip sync, his microphone was ALWAYS ON!! Don't be confused, he and MJ were total opposites, both great but completely different.

[@Crunkboy415]

These scenes were recorded live at First Avenue of course, so it was a mini concert for all the extras there.

[@ScottLaVine-br8wt]

39 studio albums is just the tip of the iceberg.

[@cheripetty1805]

Prince is the greatest stage entertainer that ever was! One of the greatest guitarists as well. I didn't realize that fact until I actually saw him Live in Concert. He BLEW the ROOF off of the acoustically perfect Auditorium!

[@msmrsro]

Fun fact. The club used in the film, and this video from the film, is First Avenue in Minneapolis. I used to dance there weekly for a few years in the early 90s. Fun times.

[@96rallysport]

To truly appreciate his talent you need to watch him live. A few suggestions are his Superbowl Halftime Show, Play That Funky Music Medley or Motherless Child.

[@penelopehornswaggle102]

Lets go Crazy is before this on the album, and they bleed together. That's why it started the way it did. You need to do them together.

[@lisalovemc717]

The entire Purple Rain soundtrack is fire

[@hopeklemann1]

it has been said that Prince was the only man who could walk into a room in a frilly blouse and high heel boots and take your girl home

[@ronaldnelson6692]

His first album he wrote all the songs, produced the album and played all the instruments at the age of 18 or 19. Check out his Live 4 Love, live performance or his Superbowl performance.

Let's Go Crazy and I Would Die for You are along the lines of this song as well. And an early one is 1999.

[@DaveH111]

Prince was the modern day James Brown. I was so lucky to see him live and it was just a non-stop energy infusion. He was so talented and energetic. I wish we could have heard the music he would have created today.

[@MetalphysicalMel]

He had a studio in his house and often stayed up for days recording.

[@hopeklemann1]

totally encourage you to react to the*kiss*song video . he has fun with that one,as well ..and same for *raspberry beret*. 🤗

[@keithroberts4952]

It would be great if you could play 1999 or controversy. Great bangers!

[@robertg7396]

My personal favorite from Prince is "The Beautiful ones." It's a ballad but extremely raw, and his vocals are insane. Btw, don't ever react to "Darling Nikki" unless you want to watch Samantha turn 50 shades of embarrassment. 😂

Enjoyed the reaction guys! And Prince's catalog of music is very, very deep. His estate is still releasing songs that were never heard before. My kids bought the Purple Rain album as a gift for me when it came out. They played it more than I did😂 As others have mentioned Let's Go Crazy is another high energy song you'll love.

And don't forget, he had the puffy shirt first.

Great pick Saw this movie when it came out and saw him live with this tour, was my favorite concert until I saw Buddy Guy in 2013

[@donnab8000]

This is the ending from the movie Purple Rain. You have to see one of his live performances

[@wpl8275]

Here are the years Prince put out an album: 78, 79, 80, 81, 82, 84, 85, 86, 87, 88, 89, 90, 91, 92. Of course more after that but from 78-92 he had 14 albums. But get this, not listed as Prince albums are The Time's 81 and 82 albums. Both Prince albums with Morris Day as lead vocals. So he really put out 16 albums. Taylor Swift has 8 albums in 18 years. Prince doubled her production in less years. And he did everything on his albums. Kids today have no clue about music. Or what it takes for an artist to be great. They pay $300 for tickets and don't get half or a third of what Prince gave in a concert.

[@PatrickKazmierczak-j6i]

I hope his family release some of his vault music if it really exists. Imagine the gems yet to be heard. I used to not take him seriously in my younger days, thinking he was just a pop star. Then I heard I would die for you and was hooked. A true artist and unbelievable talent. Nobody even comes close ❤

[@Whistler4u]

Watch the live stuff. You'll be blown away.

[@orlandoochoada2242]

I saw a live performance of "America" on KZbin. In it Prince has a drum solo. If you can find it, it's worth checking out.

Just so you know, I know you at least know how iconic he was, and what a musical legacy he left, but to be honest, as huge as 1999 and Purple Rain was ( 1999 made him a superstar, Purple Rain made him a megastar) , both were just small moments in his legacy, because of the music and effect he made before and after those albums, going back to even before his first album, and all the way to the two albums he released a few years before his death in 2016.

I know someone probably said this but if not, This is the Closing Clip of Purple Rain ☔. Purple Rain was Prince coming out movie to the World. Live Performances on TV was captured by Michael Jackson and Prince style at the time was too risque to Sexual. Michael to some was family friendly. But when this.movie dropped, I was in the theater and Prince was on fire ever since.
