I loved all the little tidbits of information. 🥰 I was in 7th grade when this aired, and I remember all of the “phallic” commentary after, and I just remember thinking that everyone completely missed the entire experience by drumming up controversy where there wasn’t any.
Also, just as a side note, Prince was planning to end his memoir with the super bowl performance. He started it with his childhood, and he got about 50 pages done before he passed. Definitely worth the read though; the co-author’s commentary is fantastic as well.
You know I wondered about this? I know it was released after he passed away. So I was wondering how much input he actually had on the final product. But they said his intention at the time was to start it with the Super Bowl, and then flashback to his childhood. It’s definitely gonna be something I read! Thank you!
@@popcornphilosopher He said he wanted to start with his childhood and hopefully make it to the super bowl performance. The exact quote from the press release in March 2016 was, “we’re starting right at the beginning - my first memory - and hopefully we can move all the way to the Super Bowl.” 🥰 I was working for him when he passed, and him and his assistant, Meron, went to one of his childhood homes to see if they could take some pictures for the book. And Prince had on a black sweatshirt with the hood up, trying to hide his face. They vaguely said they were working on a book and wanted to know if they could take photos, and the homeowner was like, “I know who you are! You’re Prince!” And P tried to hide and said, “No, I’m not.” 😂😂😂😂 Incredible book though. He told the co-author that his goal with the book was to cure racism. 💜
@@smh93 Oh interesting the article I read mustve been wrong. let me pink your comment. Thanks for givinfg the right info! That's kind of hilarious Prince saying no I mnot Prince lol.Was he a good boss?
@@popcornphilosopher Yeah. ☺️ I knew him for like 9 1/2 years before he asked me to do some work for him, so that probably helped. 😂 He was very much a “I don’t care how you do it as long as it gets done” kind of boss, at least for the work I was doing, so that was super empowering and gave me a lot of room to be creative in my approach to each task. 💜
@@smh93 hey, sorry I never saw this last post. Sometimes UA-cam doesn’t notify me that’s so nice to know Prince wasn’t a micromanager probably because he didn’t like being managed either!
It’s better to let people do what they do
Great reaction to the best Superbowl performance of all time.
Thank you so much I agree now too now that I've seen it!
Can I just say how pleased I was with the amount of detail you put into this video. I’m a huge Prince fan and some of the facts you talked about here I didn’t know until now 💜☔️
Thank you I really appreciate that. I always hope that I put good detail in and that it’s interesting enough especially because it’s Prince!
This was a great reaction. I like all the extra you put into it. I’ve been a Prince fan since 1984. 💜💜💜
I love that! you probably you probably know all the secret prince tracks! Thank you that means a lot:)
That was such a great time to have a football game at a Prince concert LOL😂😂😂
Lol so true!
I saw him live on two consecutive evenings during the "Sign o' the Times"-Tour in Berlin in 1987. I was nineteen then, and a fan since "Purple Rain". On the second evening, he must have thought: "Maybe there are some people who were already here yesterday. It's the same city. So I have to give them something new and special." And he played longer, different versions of the songs. He improvised a lot. The second evening was like a deluxe version of the first. It was like you had to be there on the first to fully understand and appreciate the second. That's the kind of musician and entertainer he was. Let me try to put it in other words: When you were there on the first evening, you got a fantastic concert. When you were there on the second evening, you got an even more fantastic concert. When you were there on both evenings, it was as if Prince took you aside as a personal friend to show you how music works, when it's done with heart and soul.
What a cool story. Thank you for sharing it with me.! I’m envious I wish I could’ve seen him live!
What I never witnessed though, is one of his famous 2nd gigs in small clubs. He did one in Berlin on these two nights, but it was the pre-internet era, it was almost impossible to get the information about the location, and I only heard about it afterwards. Perhaps someone who was on one of these can tell you more about it.@@popcornphilosopher
He was honouring the Miami Dolphins, whose stadium it was, by wearing their colours.
Oh you know it’s funny I didn’t notice that until I was editing!
He was a talented guy for sure. Some of my favorite music from him is actually songs he wrote for other artists. The Bangles famous song, Manic Monday, was written by Prince. When you know that you can hear clearly and it's a fantastic example of his talent.
Just a fabulous songwriter. A virtuoso for sure, but such a great songwriter.
Wow girl your reaction got me a little emotional. Fantastic reaction and kudos to you for doing your homework. The Purple Nation would've corrected you if had got anything wrong lol. Obviously he is a legend and a icon but he also was a good human being with a big heart. I miss my friend everyday but all good things they say never last.
Loved watching this with you and your added rain effect was fire. You can take pride in knowing that your Super Bowl Prince reaction is one of the best ever. Thank you
Liv4luv 0(+->☔
Thank you you really really made my day. I’m glad you liked it. I just thought the story was so interesting and prince was just such a cool guy, in addition to being a once, in a lifetime talent. I didn’t know him personally but I definitely miss him too!
Yes, very impressive!
I remember watching this when it happened I agree it’s the best Super Bowl performance of all time. I knew about the rain and everything but I didn’t know all the other stuff. Really interesting and great research!
Yeah, I didn’t either. But I found the story so i fascinating. Thank you I’m glad you enjoyed it.!
The rain never touched Prince unless he aloud it. Prince commanded the rain.
Haha love that!
Amazing performance and loved your recation and all the research you did. Great stuff.
Thank you so much yes phew it was a lot of research! . But the story was very interesting!
I saw Prince for the first time on the "Lovesexy" tour. I remember thinking at intermission that I couldn't believe there was much more to come. He had already exceeded every expectation. "Was that good for you, was that what you wanted me to be?" And then we got more. And he played and we couldn't sit down. We screamed until our voices gave out and our palms hurt from all the applause. This was a true legend. In contrast, at Madonna's MDNA tour, she started the show over 3 hours late with no apologies. She continued to be as late in other cities during this MDNA tour. DIVA behavior. Most of the performance was her singing to track. I've come to the realization that her talent is in marketing and the DVDs of live shows have been expertly edited to feature the highlights. Perhaps she was once amazing live but Elton John, Michael Jackson, and Prince all dismissed her as a great vocalist. I sincerely hope that someone got to see Madonna in her prime and had a different experience. I can't say every Prince concert I attended was a home run. He was always authentic and extremely talented. He played guitar, piano, and bass better than his session players. You can't deny the energy of this iconic performance. I can't even place Madonna and Prince in the same category when comparing their live performances. I applaud Madonna for her influence and industry success but she is better suited for studio and video performances. This was just my experience. I would love to hear if anyone else was able to see these two icons live and share their thoughts. Great job with the research and creating another interesting video.
You’re so lucky you got to see prince live numerous times. I regret so much, not seeing him. I think it’s a combination of different elements of talents that make people interested in an artist. Prince is just very evident because he’s such a virtuoso.. madonnas talents are different. I love them both. That’s interesting a couple of people I know said they liked the MDNA tour. Although That’s notoriously Mdonna’s worst era musically. The album wasn’t good even said she was more focused on directing WE and she was getting divorced then too. I love Madonna but one thing is I don’t like the way she treats people sometimes. If she was that late she still should’ve said something. But I have heard people say that saw various shows and it was something they’ll never forget. Definitely early ones like blonde ambition and girlie show. I
Prince had his own DIVA behavior to be sure. Your "tissue" story is a perfect example of something that he would do. It's unfortunate that sometimes artists make excuses or surround themselves with "yes" men/women. I think Prince may have been guilty of that. Obviously touring takes a toll and I pray Madonna's new retro tour doesn't have a negative impact on her health. So many artists that started when she did quickly disappeared while she continued to reinvent herself. I wish my one Madonna concert experience could have been better. I was really looking forward to it. I think that 3-hour delay which pushed the MDNA show past midnight impacted my mood and therefore my appreciation of the performance.
You did a great job on this video the research and the editing were top notch. Great job 👍 I'm a huge Prince fan and he's really missed.
Thank you so much it was a lot of research but I just found the hard work he put into it and the story so interesting ! He definitely is!
Beautiful reaction. Thank you!
Thank you so much that’s very kind!
Great video, one of the easily overlooked things is that his outfit is the colors of the Miami Dolphins. Neat little salute to the local venue.
Oh yeah, I didn’t even realize that until I was making a thumbnail! Thank you so much!
A beautiful and well researched take. I loved it x
I’m so glad that really means a lot. Thank you.
The first time I watched Prince’s super bowl performance, I cried. Thanks for the great review.
I believe it! Such a great performance!
That time they had a football game at a prince concert.😂😂😂
Lols so true!
He was drenched and still magnificent
You should check out the super bowl press conference when the press was trying to interview Prince. One of the best “interviews” ever!!!
Edit: Also this super bowl performance is the only time I’ve ever liked purple rain. I say that as a huge Prince fan.
There’s some of me reacting to it towards the end of this video.
My favorite musician playing halftime while my favorite tean won the Super Bowl! What an amazing night. Stars lined up perfectly. Prince and the Indianapolis Colts!
Amazing show! I didn’t realize it was Indianapolis they were playing. Coincidentally I’m in Indianapolis for a couple days.
Great reaction❤
💕Thank you!
Happy Birthday IO!
Great research and reaction popcorn, I would like to see your reaction to Prince "America" live 1985 😉. I'll go to Paisley Park with you, I went on the VIP tour there in December 2018 .
Yeah I was thinking about doing one of the VIP tours too it looks really interesting! I've never heard about America l performance I'll definitely check that one out
@@popcornphilosopher nice I can't wait to see it. Yes I am one of those Prince fans from my pre teen years, and I saw him 4 times in concert 😊💜
Have missed your Prince videos, do love the Kate bush ones though, well done.
Thank you! Hoping to do more Prince videos. Actually I hope to have some news about it pretty soon!
Prince also did jam sessions with David Grohl so he knew him and liked Foo Fighters
Oh, I didn’t know that!
Everyone has there own take on this.
If you loved MJ- as I did- you might hail MJ's performamce as the best.
If you loved Madonna
then it was Madonna.
If you are a huge U2 fan
Then U2.
However both Rollingstone & Billboard as well as other polls proclaimed that
PRINCE- at Miami, Fl 2007-
undeniably was, and STILL, these 17 years later- IS THE BEST SUPERBOWL halftime show.
And I will unabashedly say that they got it right!
Wow, excellent!
Thank you so much:)
Great reaction
Thank you! :)
I'm late to this but Prince didn't allow rain to touch him unless it was purple😊
Lol best comment EVER!
Brilliant, though always gutted when the guitar malfunctioned at the end. But still awesome.
I don’t remember that! Or maybe I do lol.
こんばんは、お疲れ様です。っていうか、プリンスがこの世にいないなんて、いまだに信じられないんですけど！
Wow, people actually called in to complain about the guitar? On the one hand, if you know anything about rock history, you know the guitar has had phallic connotations period. But I’d be worried about you if you see phalluses everywhere like that. These people…
Yeah, it’s so crazy. My first thought was how beautiful it looked, especially in retrospect to the fact that he’s no longer here.
@@popcornphilosopher Agreed. It’s his love symbol in the form of a guitar, isn’t it? An iteration of the classic cloud guitar in any case - (the design he introduced in the Purple Rain movie).
Prince is a genre all his own…you don’t “listen” to Prince you “experience” Prince…sidebar: “Baby I’m a Star” is not a James Brown song 😁
Nice
Thanks certified I hope you’re doing OK. Sorry to hear about the accident!
@@popcornphilosopher yeah I'm ok ty .
Loved your wonderful reaction, thank u 4 that. This is by far the best Super Bowl show ever: critics, his "peers" and musiclovers worldwide agree on this. ❤ O(+> 4ever
I definitely agree!!! I’m glad you liked it. Thank you.
When #princerodgersnelson graciously allowed a football game during his sold out performance.
Great reaction - didn't know about the guitar controversy - although the symbol is a mashup of the two old gender symbols plus a horn so they were right in an abstract way. The song selection was clever given the stadium and TV audiences.
No, it seems obvious, but I didn’t even realize that was what the symbols were made from. Hewas so ahead of his time.
Phallic symbols are a sign of fertility.
le-gen-dary
Yes!
How did you get the footage of people walking into the stadium 🏟️
Believe it or not, I found it here on UA-cam lol!
