Prince Raspberry Beret - First Time Listening

[@jjjones8609]

Prince is the Greatest live performer of his time.

Easily

A beret is a hat. When Prince walked out a blond wearing a pink beret handed him his guitar. You should probably check the lyrics as you're reacting to his videos. Prince was a master who wrote over 6000 songs including no 1 hits for other artists. You should check out 1999, Lady Cab Driver, or Let's Go Crazy next. We actually still use the word beret today:) The Army's special forces" The Green Berets" are quite well known.

yes most people miss that lol

Not only his multi-instrumentalist expertise, his singing style is the compilation of diverse genres including rock and soul. He was ranked no. 16 on Rolling Stone's chart of 200 best singers of all time. Thanks!

[@chantalschultz4847]

Understand the hype now? He is a Legend, Purple Legend

[@francescobattisti9926]

in songs lie purple rain he plays guitar like he is singing.in pop songs he sings when you could expect a guitar. that becausehe arranged as a complete master. he played with music. by the way, the melody is simply perfect.

My 1st time watching you. I really enjoyed everything you did. The rewinding, the talking about it while it still played and the expression in your eyes. I nearly died when you looked into the camera! 😂❤

He was most def. the greatest live performer of all time. BTW a beret is a type of hat. Raspberry is the color of the hat the girl was wearing. She was a free spirit who was a little ditzy. In the song he sings “She walked in through the OUT door” and he also sings “She wasn’t too bright” but she was exactly what he needed/wanted in that moment and if he had the chance to do it all over again he wouldn’t change a thing about the experience. He’d do it all over again. Looking forward to your next Prince reaction!

Yeah I just found out, it's hideous 🤣

[@jaelf5]

I've been reacting to his discography and so far I gotta say his Sign O The Times live peroformace movie had to be one of the best lives I ever watched in my life. Like when they say its a movie, its ACTUALLY like a movie 🤭

[@hopeklemann1]

🌸 baby, Prince did EVERYTHING first!!!

[@lindarenee2198]

Just listen & don't overanalyze the song. Sometimes it just sounds good.

[@jaelf5]

He's just lookin into the lyrics??? 🤔

[@susanhicks9305]

Bro you have not even begun to scratch the surface of Princes music. Enjoy the ride 🎉👑💜🎊 Want to dance some more?...try his song "Let's Work"

[@ralphcataloctocan6587]

Its a red hat. In addtion, it tells a story of a girl, a teenage romance rather losing her virginity and that is the reason why it mixed funk and sexual

[@nirvanaa5556]

Such a natural reactor. Love it.

Jame s brown move and kick on one...

[@loraalderson9478]

If you want to see amazing performances, watch Queen live videos. Also the vocal range. Amazing. There are so many good musicians, artists, bands, groups or whatever you want to call them from the "old days". I would say 60-70's are the best, in my opinion. Led Zeppelin is a favorite of mine to watch. The Bee Gees when I want energy, Pink Floyd is my very favorite, to lay back in the dark, doing my thing and just chillin' to it. The lyrics are very deep, and they are a band that you listen to a whole album, not pick through songs. Start at the beginning and go straight through. Stevie Ray Vaugh live is amazing for guitar. Santana at Woodstock. Luther Vandross and his silky and sexy voice. So many genres and so much great music. It's impossible to hear it all, but worth taking the time to check out what you can.

[@gfanarakos]

all the prerson you named idolized Prince to their bones... prince was the musician's musician

[@oskarobit]

That white guitar is custom made, he used in Purple Rain and many times after (with a lot of colors). The name is CLOUD GUITAR. Maybe that's the reason of the suit or perhaps is because Prince was that confident with himself he didn't mind what people could say. I own a Funko Pop with that suit & guitar 😍😎

[@ScottLaVine-br8wt]

Hundreds of songs to go.

[@revgurley]

I'm a new sub, and posted in your "Most Beautiful Girl In The World" video a list of lesser-known, but amazing, Prince songs. My favorite is "Good Love" which is sung in his "Camille" voice (slightly higher, but obviously mechanically altered). You're still so early into the Prince rabbit hole, I think I'd suggest starting with his early early stuff (Soft & Wet, I Wanna Be Your Lover) and work your way forward in time. Keep in mind he didn't necessarily release songs in the order they were written/recorded, but he does go through "eras." You mentioned in a previous Prince reaction video about his vocal range. This is a decent video showing how low, and how high, he could easily sing. This was long before autotune! Thanks for these Prince reviews. Now that I've found you, I look forward to more! (video mentioned above kzbin.info/www/bejne/bYi8l4Boo9pmoJY )

[@susanhicks9305]

😁berets aint got shit to do with era but more to do with dictionary. Berets are hats.🤣

[@hopeklemann1]

🌸 a beret is a French style of cap a hat....

[@tammys3553]

He was actually on a Sesame Street episode

[@marcusjaybrode2129]

I’d wear that suit! 😎

[@elizabethlucas8778]

A beret was a hat.

[@maine420grow]

The song would have sucked if he said "She wore a re-e-e-ed beret"

[@Chalky52]
