Reaction and Vocal Analysis of PRINCE performing Motherless Child LIVE

[@julianciahaconsulting8663]

One of the greatest guitar performances in rock history can be found in this Prince song. Prince was easily the best live performer of his generation.

[@mikeleo5990]

Finally some one says it 👏👏👏👏👏 he puts that purple guitar to the test - he absolutely rips it 🔥🔥🔥

[@kcc-karenschroniccorner9432]

Prince’s music isn’t something you just hear - it’s something you experience on a soul level.

[@kcitsgt]

As a GenXer, I can confidently say, Prince is the GOAT of my generation. He had a profound influence on the music industry and the public’s perception of it. He is not only an underrated guitarist, but in many of his recordings, he plays all the instruments. He wrote music and gave it away to people breaking into the industry. There will never be another like him

[@ShawnKavanagh]

We were surrounded by legends, past and present. I'm sorry to say I've only grown to love and appreciate Prince and Bowie more than I did growing up. Prince is a religion.

[@mariovh]

I was blessed to see Him 13 times Live and I saw a lot of others, but no one touches Prince He truly stands alone Music related. I don’t know if she ever saw Him live but the ones who saw Him will agree with me that you felt like your life changed and it was never the same after. There’s a reason why He’s the Celebrity among celebrities coz not only us are in awe….the Greats of music are Fans too I miss Him but I’m oso grateful to be born when Prince was making Music 💜🙌🏻👏🏻 He is Indeed and without doubt The Goat

[@tammybrevig5115]

Believe me hes not underrated in anything he does

[@Carpediemdeluxe]

Prince was music.

[@waldeck325]

Prince, the soundtrack of my youth. And to be clear, he was the best

[@SholmLarsen]

Prince, is just as much something you feel deep into your soul, he touches something deep in your soul, which can be hard to pin down. Quite simply, the man was brilliant at expressing himself purely musically, the likes of which the world has not seen and probably will not see again.

[@uwillbe]

“I Love U, But Don’t Trust U Anymore’ highlights Prince’s falsetto, and is one of my favorite ballads from Prince.

[@codeblood2000]

Pure GREATNESS...PRINCE

[@esthers5740]

Thank you so much for this ❤ wanted to add that he plays the brilliant guitar solos with his eyes closed!..

[@Dr.jjWinn]

The absolute control Prince had over not just his band and the performance but also the crowd that just bent at his every whim was amazing! Prince had total control over everything that happened during that performance.

[@wandamanning9198]

He was mesmerizing!

[@AlreadyFree612]

This is in my top three live Prince performances!

[@RobNC-OG]

Prince was and still is one of the most unique and talented musicians I've ever seen or heard. His style is so unique there is no way anyone could ever imitate him. It's sad he is gone now, but he left us with some great examples of playing from the soul.

[@dianep1999]

Prince's voice and his performance is something of another world. Totally breathtaking.

[@Martvandelay]

On that guitar, it’s like he’s pulling the notes themselves up from the core of the Earth. He’s creating gravity before our very eyes.

[@aquamarine99911]

When I first saw this video five or so years ago (soon after he died), I couldn't believe it. I was already a fan of Prince, but was still blown away by the amount of energy he was exuding off the stage. He was clearly emotionally invested in the song, but still controlling the band and the audience like a pro. I sent links of the vid to everyone I knew, but it's so satisfying to watch it through the lens of a reaction video by a musician, one who can really appreciate the details of the performance. And the sheer genius. As you aptly conclude, Prince was MORE than the sum of his individual talents. He truly was one of a kind.

[@mariovh]

It pleases me to watch people simply being blown away by Prince….im a fan since 1979 and im honest in saying it was the Most Beautiful ride I’ve ever been on thanks to the Man I Love & Adore beyond anything else. Enjoy Prince coz there’s so much to discover 💜🙌🏻👍🏻

[@Dornie51]

I love the way he controls THE STAGE!! The musicians have to know what every little sign means and if they miss it, they face the consequences lol He was a perfectionist and knew what he wanted. Love him and miss him on this earth 💜💜💜

[@traceywalsh8109]

This is Prince giving you an insight to some real feelings and emotions I have been a Fan for years and he gas got me through some dark Motherless Child being one of them GOAT

[@GH5050-SO]

I discovered this one a few years ago. I love this one! The subtle control he has over the band is awesome to watch. You cant help but feel it. I love how he got fully immersed in this performance. I wasnt the biggest Prince fan, much of its not my taste. But he was extremely talented, and definitely appreciate that about him. I always watched interviews he did, he had a really unique grasp on the world.

[@BernardAshwin]

So much swagger and soul.. always thought he was the best singer of his generation and that confirms it..

[@gastonmezzui2803]

Je te remercie pour cet hommage rendu a prince j’ai suivi cet live c’est vraiment l’un de ses meilleures. J’ai adoré

[@NPGOperata]

Great to hear such passion and appreciation for this man's true greatness. I've been trying to preach it for years with varying degrees of success. He was simply peerless as a musician, songwriter and performer. The greatest there was or ever will be.

[@tala555]

Why do I have to cry while watching this?😢

[@sassydarcy1]

We lost a legend! Minnesota girl here...experiencing Paisly Park after his death, was breathtaking. People from all over the world left beautiful letters, drawings, art, cards, etc! PURPLE EVERYWHERE! Blessed to have been able to experience it...but, then you remember, he's gone. So sad!!

[@boskobeljic9895]

Best song ever ! Real funk !!!

[@Tarotique]

This is one of my favorite live performances by Prince but most of all, of all the reactions to it I've seen, this is by far the best, the most detailed and that does the most justice to such a raw, powerful rendition of this incredible song.

[@robertkelly7203]

Love it when people find Prince you not only hear and see a great Prince performance you FEEL it!

[@cryptozoomauler5505]

Prince was kicked out by his mother then kicked out by his father. He moved in with his friend Andre Cymone whose mother allowed him to stay at their place and she became like a second mom to him.

[@leedsbatty]

Being a lifelong Prince fan was and still is a mixture of pleasure and awe, he has blown my mind for 40 years and continues to this day

[@robertthompson7181]

I loved your reaction to that song ❤ it is one of my favourite Prince songs.. love it, thank you…

[@SportanlagenEyelti]

Prince was the best in everything

[@cryptozoomauler5505]

Not drumming, or wind instruments though he could certainly play them. He played drums enough but when he wants sax, he calls Candy..or Eric...or other really good ones.

[@RicardoSpencer-dm5ew]

Maaan.. prince makes me cry from just awe. Such a trancendental experience

[@debliedel]

Girl, i feel ya! I know exactly what your saying! I've been feeling this since 1977!

[@opentrunk]

The guy was the most charismatic showman I have ever seen.

[@sK3LeTvM1]

This simply is one of the greatest Prince performances ever. I had the chance to meet this god-talented musician by professional means. Backstage, frontstage...Will never forget PRINCE !

[@kriscpaul]

I LOVE this performance. So soulful, so beautiful...just perfection!

[@Carpediemdeluxe]

There will never be another Prince. RIP Purple One.💜

[@lisacoronadofernandez4422]

I feel that Prince's personal experiences growing up as a teenager without his mother are reflected in this song. Rest in peace beautiful man💜

Prince is a masterpiece 💜 Nobody has more talent than this guy! Loved your reaction:)

Your's may be the best description I've ever heard for Prince, "embodied humanity," I love it.

[@sch7194]

The one and only PRINCE

[@ChristopherGavin]

i love your take, i have seen this performance before, but still got swept away by your reaction, it was like watching it again for the first time, thank you.

[@joseestella5523]

I have never seen this before. He is a true legend. And your reaction is priceless😊

[@zazagirl3373]

Prince beat Mozart, he mastered over 14 instruments by age 17, he could dance, sing any note, rap, he wrote, arranged, performed ALL his music, including wrote hits for other artists, he has covered almost every genre, Metal, Punk rock, hip hop, pop, r&b, soul, jazz, blues, country, ambience, classical, techno, house, instrumental. The Multi-Genre God. He could play anything, and your favorite artists have been deeply influenced by him. Corey Taylor, Whitney Houston, Steve Vai, Elton John, Stevie Wonder, Lil uzi vert, H.E.R. , Paul Mccartney, all worship Prince to just name a few. Prince recorded his first 2 albums at 16 all by himself, all instruments, lyrics, arrangement, composition & vocals were all by him. He was such a prodigy, that music executives wanted proof, they would fly across country just to see if he could really play all instruments, because it was so unheard of. Prince has over 50 official released albums and when he passed, they found over 10 thousand unreleased Prince music in his vault. He then came into the business and was the FIRST to fight for artists rights, and he WON. He would write "slave" on his cheek and go to meetings protesting against the industry. Prince was also the first artist to sell his music on the internet. You are talking about the most talented artist we will ever see.

[@somniumisdreaming]

Such a tragic waste of brilliant life.

[@danielserda]

Thanks for this❤I Loved Prince since 40 years. I Loved your face while listening and watching and showing your emotions. Impossibel to resist his influence. Live he was even more breathtaking. Had the chance to join even an after show in Cologne. Wow. Thankful for joining the same lifetime here on earth. His body is gone, his soul stays alive here

It's so good it almost hurts. It's chaos and agony with a backbeat.

[@edwardjohnson9745]

Huge Prince fan...your face throughout kinda explains y we all love music so much..takes us someplace else...the man will never b touched in my opinion...the thing I have always wondered is...how on earth did he time manage himself..yes I know he never slept much..but take a look at everything he did with music..and I mean everything..brilliant reaction..

[@k.a.lindsey4349]

It's the outfit and hat for me; he looked, absolutely stunning in this set; what a talented and gorgeous man...ilove this video.

[@shmuelhirsch2069]

Of all his otherworldly musical traits, his vocal genius doesn’t get nearly enough attention. His vocals are arguably the most impressive thing about him.

[@theGefilteFist]

The most impressive thing is that as impressive as all the parts are individually the whole is still more than their sum

[@klaxoncow]

"The Beautiful Ones" from the "Purple Rain" album is just an inhuman vocal performance. He goes from a butterfly tenderness, to a wailing banshee. He's actually screaming - and goodness knows what he's doing to his vocal cords - but it's a pitch perfect cry of intense pain. That song is a highlight in Prince's catalogue, as he essentially condenses an entire love affair - the whole relationship - into a single song. It goes from tenderness and love, shy approaches and intimate moments, to betrayal, paranoia and gut-wrenching heartbreak. Laying down the ultimatum. Lyrically, vocally and musically - in the way only Prince can do, as he's responsible for it all - it charts a stormy love affair from beginning to end in mere minutes. It's fecking genius. But the climax - when he is actually, no holds barred, screaming in heartbroken pain - is just an inhuman vocal performance.

[@snakes111b]

[@dinguskhan4360]

The one and only legend on Bethany’s channel!! Pure bliss and thank you for showcasing this singular talent. Nobody else comes close to the talent of this man and I hope to see some more Prince reactions as there is an amazing catalog of greatness to discover. Love your channel Bethany! 😻😻😻

[@Ohmygodhesgorgeous]

Love this reaction. Your respect for his talent shines out of you

[@abktwm]

Thank you for reacting to Prince! I suggested him to you just yesterday, and here he is! Wow! He was larger than life and, yes, like you said, he embodied and represented the human experience, but was also so spiritual. I saw him perform at Radio City Music Hall close to the beginning of his career in the early 80s, and have loved him since. What an amazing human and artist. I miss him.

[@tanjas5375]

Watching him I feel his music and his emotions flooding my whole body

[@RJMacReady1]

The most primal, visceral performance from Prince Ive ever seen. It feels like hes channeling something ancient and powerful, like a ritual to summon some sort of prehistoric pagan god of sound and rhythm

[@beagrinton5934]

It’s awesome to hear someone love the gift that was Prince ❤

[@erinhafer228]

I love the way you describe Prince, your analysis is spot on! I’ve always said that it has been one of the great joys in my life to exist at the same time as him. I saw him live 8 times, and each performance was better than the last. He will forever be my all time favorite artist 💜

[@mariovh]

I totally agree ….we are all blessed to be alive when Prince was making music Saw Him 13 times and even when I felt blessed deep down I wished I saw Him more coz now older and wiser I have to say those were the few moments I was truly Happy in life

[@barrosopalosantos]

What can I say about Prince?... for me is the GOAT and the biggest talent of my generation. I will always love his music.

[@UKmjs]

Fantastic reaction as always, Bethany. I am forever thankful that I went to see Prince perform live at the O2 Arena in London when he was in the UK for his Earth Tour: 21 Nights in London residency in 2007. I saw him perform not once, but three times, because I was so blown away by his performance at the first concert, I had to go again ... and again! Each of the three concerts had a different playlist and was equally extraordinary. If ever an artist deserved to be described as a musical genius, it was Prince.

[@mariovh]

I saw Him 13 times And nothing compares to Prince. I always felt I wanted more Hands down best moments of my life thanks to My Hero

[@cv41393]

He is a great band leader too.

[@josephstude5638]

On the contrary, it's Friday afternoon and I was TOTALLY ready for this. :) It's inspiring and intimidating when there's so much talent/humanity in one package. Have a great weekend!

[@Quantum36911]

Thank you for your brilliant words for a "person" for whom there are scarcely words ... "Prince embodied humanity"... the best I have ever heard. I have barely been able to listen to his music since he left... it was like my soul found its home when I first heard him at 15... each of his albums and performances was like a phase of my life. Tonight was the first time I have heard this performance. listening to it was almost more than I could bear, but hearing you along with it, your ability to put words to the experience in a way that was on his level, made it so I could breathe. I know that sounds extreme, but that is and will always be his effect on me. Thank you for your genius emotional intelligence. He would've dug you very highly!

[@tomfoolery342]

I remember someone once said about Prince: "He's the only guy that can wear women's shoes, eyeliner, makeup, a lace blouse....and still take your woman!"🤣🤣🤣

[@sallykinley5939]

Hi again here is another and this is truly outstanding. In fact if you want to see Prince at his best check out the Montreux Jazz festival 2009. Two fabulous sets both on KZbin. This is from the first set…very paired down band. Just him, Renato Neto on keys, John Blackwell on drums and Rhonda Smith on bass! These two sets are jaw dropping, musicianship on another level. His vocals spectacular! The first song Empty Room is a heartbreak song, his vocals raw and heartbroken but the guitar takes over into almost anger and frustration. Watch his facial expressions, like he’s transcended from the stage to somewhere we will never understand! It’s jaw dropping. Also side note, a few seconds into the song he cuts his thumb on the metal trim of his suit, so he’s literally bleeding during this! Then he goes into the sexy and sultry song Elixir! Wow his vocals are faultless! He’s sexy and seductive, vocals on point! Side note, double meaning Elixir/he licks her! His vocals on this are everything … you’ll know what I mean when you watch this. I don’t have enough words to describe how fabulous this performance is. Apparently even seasoned Prince followers who had seen him dozens of times, in their own words, completely ‘lost their minds’ at Montreux because he was so amazing! 💜 kzbin.info/www/bejne/rXiapqtmqMRmqLM

[@bolder2009]

His friend, Tavis Smiley, spoke in depth about the context of the Montreux shows in 2009, which were somewhat informed by Prince's emotional response to the passing of Michael Jackson.

[@nozee77]

I will love this artist forever! 💜 Thanks for reacting to him!

[@johnjames3286]

I've seen Prince perform 40 times and even met him a few times. The band doesn't really improv, he does and every wave of the hand, every nod of the head, every look is code to the band and they have to read that code exactly. He used to tell the band 1 hour before going on what they were playing lol. He was a genius. Watch the whole performance in difference songs he's funky, sad, intense, loose and really funny. He was always always amazing

[@EricSlater1969]

Was getting ready to say the Same Exact Stuff!! Band Members had to Constantly have an Eye out wherever he was, because he could make a Change, Stop, or Anything at a Moments Notice

[@elenapayne5591]

Yes. There was nothing improvised with any of his bands. Even jam sessions like this were rehearsed. Sound checks would go on for hours. He had complete control and with a slightest movement from him the band would turn on a dime (even Larry Graham knew that ✋🏼😂) Watch his bands in any live performance and they are all looking at him. Empty Room Montreux has some moves. Hand throwing forward to signal let’s go one more time. Looks to the guitar tech to be ready to catch. His pianist never looks away. It’s beautiful to watch

[@pellelindholm4496]

Prince... Is a Masterpiece.. One of a kind.. Part of a very select few that has the ability to keep his audience in a trance.. He doesn't just play and sing.. He IS the music and the lyrics.. But... If he is that good as he is/was.. How good did the others in the show have to be to be able to support him? To be chosen to play alongside Prince like this.. has got to be the utmost recognition of ones ability to play music...

[@kandikane923]

Exactly, that’s why his selected band members were honored to play with him, they knew he knew music and only demanded the best. So it was the ultimate privilege, not only did they make Prince shine and successful they were the Stars too

I’ve seen him 10 times live since 1992. Every show was completely different experience … He was never a Vegas act doing the same thing over and over again. Always better and always improving. He fed off the crowd and delivered the energy back to the room. Best performer I’ve ever seen.

[@mariovh]

Amen 2 that

[@jackal7498]

I'm glad his estate released all these videos after his passing so everyone could enjoy and didn't keep up his block of his videos being online.

[@dantebacani]

1999 and PURPLE RAIN were the soundtrack of my late teen and early twenties. when Prince died unexpectedly in 2016, I cried a lot - not just out of nostalgia, but also in recognition of the talent and artistry we lost. I first saw this video/performance in the days after Prince died in 2016. To me, this performance encapsulates so much of what made Prince such a titanic talent: his immense stage presence; the way he takes a song he didn’t write and make it completely his own; the way he absolutely *wails* on guitar; and of course, his vocal performance. You do a great job of articulating so much about this performance that I felt innately, but could not put into words as well as you. Even more impressively, you did it upon your first viewing. (I revisit this performance every few months just to luxuriate in its brilliance.) I look forward to watching your other vocal analysis videos. 😊

[@AnderClaw]

Love Love Love your reaction to this song. Was my first time hearing this song and having you talk me thru the whole phenomenal performance was amazing.

[@andyjackson9313]

Great comments. He’s also my favourite artist and musician of all time. I love the fact this channel has picked this song. When newcomers rave about Prince it’s the R&R Hall of Fame footage of While My Guitar Gently Weeps that everyone points to. And I show them this. Infinitely better in every way. Before he died, when the community were leaked hidden gems, this Septimo bootleg was one of my prized jewels. I am glad they are widely available on KZbin now. There are probably a hundred album racks you could point to. In addition to the songs you mention, I’d add If I was Your Girlfriend, The Cross, The Love We Make. I guess this channel needs video footage, so The Love We Make at Montreux 2013 would be a great one to review.

[@MrTaurrean]

[@missy652]

Good reaction. Princes' rendition is always, something to behold. This song is actually an old slave song sung in various ways as a means of instruction and code from one to another. Sung in many churches, it meant different things way back in history.

[@devonseamoor]

It's a performance I see for the 1st time, of Prince, and it's extraordinary, so charismatic and theatrical. At the same time, the theme of the song is touching deep instincts in the audience, mesmerizing it with emotional vocal outbursts, light effects, music of course, and... the color purple. Some form of magic was involved in all that surrounded this special hu-man Prince. He has revealed a few details, just before he died, in an interview. Purple is the color- symbol of nobility and redemption, and Prince's song/movie Purple Rain is what consolidated Prince's fame, isn't it? Often, religion was a theme in his work, merged with magic symbolism. Watch the projected light-symbol on the floor where he stands. There's esoteric symbolism in the color purple, Prince's favorite color, if it's not mere fantasy, made up in the blinding glamour of this prince. He knew how to dress well😍 Also, a similar ending of a lifetime on stage, Michael Jackson revealed significant details about his business with Sony, claiming 51% of the rights, outsmarting Sony, sortly before his death. Riddles are plenty, I believe.

[@glennshepherd5862]

I was fortunate enough to see Prince live at the (then) Boston Garden.

[@hajonagele9268]

What I like best about this interpretation is that it comes across as so personal. In the beginning he says, "Oh mama, mama, why did you put me on the street? I'm only 12 years old!" And Prince was about that age when he left home to escape increasing tensions with his mother and stepfather. I tend to think that's why he chose that song, to process his childhood.

[@kristinmelinamercury8880]
