This is actually the best part of watching these videos. Seeing their reactions for the first time, watching their minds being torn open by revelation and revolution, first glimpse of Starlight after a lifetime of clouds and gray. Nowadays, we expect musicians of today to perform like the legends of yesteryear but if they can deliver half the Heat and passion all those performers of the past, then they will have succeeded beyond their expectations and that should be more than enough.
Yeah & probably bc the story suggests he’d lost his edge & wasn’t the best anymore so weren’t bothered he was there . Oh and they would’ve known about his father attempting suicide possibly 💜💜
We lost an artistic genius with his passing. Artistic on so many levels. It was always a complete package with his work: Stage set, lighting, wardrobe, arrangements, choreography, strict/set verse opposite improvisational material......all at once. The absolute real deal.
I’ve always thought Prince wrote, sang and preformed poetry. He really hits you with all the emotions💜 I feel blessed to have lived through the Prince Era💜 although his music will live on, there just was nothing like hearing his music drop for the first time and running out to get the album 💜
This man was a genius. As was his music. To see back then, was a privilege. You just don't have this today. Prince, Michael Jackson and George Michael. You won't see their like again.
I'm from Minneapolis and I was able to see him a couple times in concert in the early 2000's. He really was a master performer how he keeps his audience engaged with his showmanship and incredible talents. He's like a conductor in an orchestra that also plays along to the music that he wrote, arranged and performed. One of a kind. I loved your genuine and emotionally enthusiastic reaction! Subscribed!
Well I've seen this movie two or three times I really wouldn't that much into Prince. But I could see what everybody was saying he was a brilliant musician. I take my hat off to him
So refreshing to watch you enjoying one of my favorite artists of all time. This song made me a fan 37 years ago and I still am. To see how Prince still can reach the hearts of a younger generation is proof how timeless he is. Great reaction.
We were lucky to be teens in the 80s and go new Prince music all the time. Saw the movie in theaters. Around the World In a Day album and Purple Rain are still my favorite Prince works followed by 1999.
Just discovered your channel. Love you reactions to the Great Prince. Your are absolutely Awesome. Looking forward to more reactions to Prince songs. The rabbit hole goes deep, 40 year of Music, 900 plus songs. Indeed.
I really appreciate your assessment of this great brother. Only a professional, trained eye can see the things you see, and I thank you for pointing it all out to us.🌹
This is from the movie Purple Rain. If you watch that movie you will understand about him and his music. He told us everything through his music. His music was like his daily journal as he wrote music everyday. Here he is only 24 but been writing music since he was seven.
Honey Chile.......I know ...I know how u feel....Prince has that effect on his fans....his performances are everything, my first time seeing Prince in concert, when he was doing the "Controversy Tour", words can't even describe what I was feeling, I just could not believe what I was seeing, what I was hearing.....that this one individual was doing all of these things at the same time....it was amazing as well as magical......and when he performed "Do Me Baby"......OMG!!!!!!....he was able 2 deliver in such a manner as if we were watching a very passionate love making scene from a Broadway play , and in this play....Prince was the only participant and was giving those passionate moves ,as well as receiving them almost simultaneous.....who does that????... Both my cousin and I looked at each other in total shock and awe.....and we both squealed " Oh My God !!! He is Bad!!!!....That was my first Prince concert and it was not my last, Praise the Lord....."His Royal Badness" knew that he bought the heat, the love and the sounds of passion......and all these years later I still feel the same level of excitement....so I understand how u feel....I have been feeling that way 4 a minute now.....have a beautiful and joyous existence....
Miss Lisa your reaction and analysis of prince is right on point. Do not ever stop making music and let prince guide you. He didn't know it but he turned out to be a teacher that alot of us will be learning from for decades to come. I am a drummer and of course like many others i finally picked up a guitar 4 years ago and I am still learning the craft of structuring a song thanks to THE KING eye call Prince. Your joy for music is bursting through the screen. STAY BEAUTIFUL;)
I have had the privilege of seeing him live 3 times. Best 3 concerts I have ever been to. First time Vanity 6 opened then The Time. Second time Apollonia 6,Shelia E, final time was just Prince.
I concur.....I saw Prince live 8 times, Controversy tour, 1999 tour, Purple Rain tour twice, the tour of the Love Symbol, the Emancipation tour, the Musicology tour and the Welcome 2 America tour....I had no idea that the Welcome 2 America concert, would be the last time I would ever see Prince perform live......but that's alright ....we were blessed to have had him for his time here on earth.......
You totally get Prince and how much of an absolute genius he is! Your reaction video and words have deepened my love of Prince's music even more. It's beautiful that he inspired you to write music again. I am privileged because I have seen him live on tour ~ He never does anything the same way twice! I very much enjoyed your vocal warmth in 'Never Give Up'.
I've been to 8 Prince concerts, one of which was a small venue much like the one in this video. I was probably about 6 ft from the stage watching in complete amazement. (Billy, the guy with the glasses and baseball cap was standing next to me). This song was actually recorded live and then edited later (some parts were removed) to give us the version you're listening to. He was truly a musical genius from the instruments to the lyrics to the arrangements to the vocals. There will never be another. Great reaction!!
Prince is one of the 10 most talented artists ever and you sweet lady have one of the most beautiful smiles I ve ever seen, not to mention your beautiful eyes!! Greetings from Thessaloniki Greece.
If you saw the movie, the song and scene mean more, because you would know that Prince had originally said he was only gonna let the band perform his stuff only, and not use the song that the girls came up with (even though irl, Prince came up with much of it after making Wendy play her guitar chords over and over while his brain was developing something around it - they say they came back the next day and he had the song finished). So that's why Prince had a humble look on his face and the girls were a little surprised that he was going with their song after all - and even they didn't know what it was going to sound like put together.
Purple Rain and some other songs were played live in the movie, and are exactly the same on the LP. You can hear someone in the audience shouting once, and that's also on the LP.
Whoever this young woman is she is beautiful and I love her natural look instead of all this fake BBL'S, tattoos and other fake blank these blanks are into these days
What a brilliant reaction..I know i.m a bit late .Prince for me is the greatest performer..what couldn't he do .I love the emotion you show reacting... because that's what Prince was..pure emotion..what a musician..so sad he is not with us..take care.
First time here. Enjoyed it. Thank you. But, you really need to see the movie to understand his song fully. Fantastic movie. This song will later make you choke away tears. Look forward to more!
Fun Fact: this song was recorded live and was completely improvised. The beginning and end were cut down to hide the audience reactions and to cut out certain instrumental parts
This is from his movie titled Purple Rain. You should watch the movie so you can get the full meaning of the song. You will also enjoy the full performance in the movie😊
You should check out Prince singing Purple Rain while it’s pouring rain in a half time football show. Probably one of the most amazing performances out there.
Cool reaction. Nice breakdown from an artist and a singer. Before the purple rain movie, Prince did a concert called, "making of the rain " where he debuted music from the movie. On this concert, this was the first time he played purple rain live. That version is the one that actually made the album, which is the one reviewed here. He added the orchestra in the studio. This is the concert: ua-cam.com/video/XjZeuBHrBbs/v-deo.html
the why of the kiss at the end of the song it's because in the movie, Wendy (guitarist) and Lisa (piano) have proposed a demo of purple rain and prince refuses to play titles not written by him, then at the end of the film he accepts, and that's why it is Wendy who plays the intro of Purple Rain and not Prince.
Wow, Lisa, this was the best reaction to this performance we've ever seen!! You are obviously a performing professional as you brought so much more to your reaction, and you could not have brought it to a better performance from a truly remarkable performer. The very next scene in the movie was even more amazing for us. Imagine a couple of 72 yr olds from Arizona getting so much pleasure from a super talent like Prince. Thanks so much for doing this one. We also saw your recent reaction to Floor and Troy's acoustic performance of "Hows the Heart" and we a passionate fans of anything Nightwish. Floor recently released her solo cover of "Oblivion" from the movie of the same name. We feel it is her best solo performance yet. We'd love to see your reaction to it and here's the link: ua-cam.com/video/zG-ptrlJ4pM/v-deo.html Also new subscribers so we can enjoy more of your work. Stay safe.
I was looking for a British reaction to old school American music, since I look up UK rap reactions by Americans. You did it for real, I ditched 4 vids before yours, I was like "yeah she real" . Love from a Pakistani Canadian sista!
Prince was great, but when one talks of the greatest performer, for me being a young man in the 70s & 80s, Freddie Mercury (Queen) will always be there at the top!
Although obviously it wasn’t Wendy & Lisa’s tune in reality….I repurchased PR movie this week I’ve seen the movie probably 100 times or more over the years but the quality is so much better now! Great to see ‘more’ of him so glad I did. I don’t usually focus on his mid 80s stuff bc it’s everywhere & everyone does (radio etc) & I know it so well, but I don’t care anymore as long as I’m watching/listening to him … but please check out all of Princes eras he was the greatest contemporary musician of all time 💜
I really wish that people that suggest songs from movie clips would include a bit of contacts. You would understand why he is so apprehensive at the beginning why the crowd seems so quiet and muted and why he goes out of his way to give credit to Lisa and Wendy. The idea that the crowd was just cold for no reason is completely wrong.
You have to watch the movie to get a better context of this particular scene...he is not a stranger to this audience...there is a certain expectation by the club owner and the audience coming into this scene...just watch the movie and you'll understand
Very good reaction vid! Now that u've done your prerequisite work....Please do yaself tha service of reactin 2 his Live version of Purple Rain that he performed in Syracuse 3.30.85.!!!! #GOOSEBUMPSINBOUND
Its nice to see young people actually hear good music by an actual artist. The junk you hear on the radio now is just awful. No heart or soul just computer generated noise.
![Prince - Purple Rain (Live At American Music Awards 1985) [REACTION VIDEO] | Rebeka Luize Budlevska](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/McdFDasE11c/mqdefault.jpg)
The most talented artist of his generation, hands down, no debate required.
Shame he is no longer with us, but his memories live on.
RIP Prince
I just can't wrap my head around the fact that some people have never heard prince before.I mean how is that possible?
They live under a rock
This is actually the best part of watching these videos. Seeing their reactions for the first time, watching their minds being torn open by revelation and revolution, first glimpse of Starlight after a lifetime of clouds and gray.
Nowadays, we expect musicians of today to perform like the legends of yesteryear but if they can deliver half the Heat and passion all those performers of the past, then they will have succeeded beyond their expectations and that should be more than enough.
I’m shocked! Because he’s life to me.
@@kenhouston1750 With lead window panes 😃.
Exactly it's like they've been on another planet this whole time
The video is a scene from the movie. The audience's reaction is from them hearing this song for the first time during filming of the scene.
Yeah & probably bc the story suggests he’d lost his edge & wasn’t the best anymore so weren’t bothered he was there . Oh and they would’ve known about his father attempting suicide possibly 💜💜
I love seeing people discovering Prince like I did so many years ago!🥲
Yes, his memory lives on. 💜💔
Prince wrote music us men wish we could write ! This song gets to me everytime you can the emotion in his guitar ! 💜💜💜💜💜
Seen Prince 30+ times live. No one can touch his stage presence. It was like he was playing just for you.
Yes! stadium full of people and his magic made you feel like his was just singing for you! 💜🎸
We lost an artistic genius with his passing. Artistic on so many levels. It was always a complete package with his work: Stage set, lighting, wardrobe, arrangements, choreography, strict/set verse opposite improvisational material......all at once. The absolute real deal.
Truer words have never been spoken
Prince should be in hall of fame of songwriters...who the fuck are those people that judge...Justin Beiber?
It makes me smile every time I see someone appreciating Prince the way I do. 💜
He was such a bright brilliant light the world got a little colder and smaller when he passed God Bless you Prince
Prince sings the notes and plays the notes without missing a bit in between the guitar and his expressing voice
His voice still gives me chills what an incredible talent I miss him 🤫
I’ve always thought Prince wrote, sang and preformed poetry. He really hits you with all the emotions💜
I feel blessed to have lived through the Prince Era💜 although his music will live on, there just was nothing like hearing his music drop for the first time and running out to get the album 💜
and he is not in hall of fame of songwriters...the world is a shit hole
This man was a genius. As was his music. To see back then, was a privilege. You just don't have this today. Prince, Michael Jackson and George Michael. You won't see their like again.
He's my favorite artist. One of the greatest guitar players of all time.

Saw him in concert twice. The GREATEST ENTERTAINER/ARTIST OF ALL TIME
Well I've seen this movie two or three times I really wouldn't that much into Prince. But I could see what everybody was saying he was a brilliant musician. I take my hat off to him
I hope you had goosebumps. Many years later I still do.
You paid the most proper respect to this amazing artist. You must be a pretty amazing artist yourself,
So refreshing to watch you enjoying one of my favorite artists of all time. This song made me a fan 37 years ago and I still am. To see how Prince still can reach the hearts of a younger generation is proof how timeless he is. Great reaction.
Some people's beautiful inner spirit shines right out through their skin, you are one of them young lady.
Have a wonderful day!

It's way more than 900 songs my friend
Thing is in the movie, he had his back to the wall and had to come through or else he would lose the gig in that club. And he delivered!
I really appreciate your assessment of this great brother. Only a professional, trained eye can see the things you see, and I thank you for pointing it all out to us.🌹
It's like no one knows this is a movie. I was 3 and a half when Purple Rain came out and I remember watching it
Love you reacting to this, as a kid growing up in the 80's this was a huge song!
'
This is from the movie Purple Rain. If you watch that movie you will understand about him and his music. He told us everything through his music. His music was like his daily journal as he wrote music everyday. Here he is only 24 but been writing music since he was seven.

I seen Prince Live four times 1999 tour, Lovesexy tour and two others...believe me it was a euphoric experience
I concur.....I saw Prince live 8 times, Controversy tour, 1999 tour, Purple Rain tour twice, the tour of the Love Symbol, the Emancipation tour, the Musicology tour and the Welcome 2 America tour....I had no idea that the Welcome 2 America concert, would be the last time I would ever see Prince perform live......but that's alright ....we were blessed to have had him for his time here on earth.......

Yes his vocal range is 4.5 octaves 👌🏻👌🏻
well its 5+ octaves nearly 6 on his career

@15:00 that guitar screech made you smile I see :)
The world lost a great artist when Prince left us. so sad
Prince should be in hall of fame of songwriters next to Bob Dylan ...who the fuck are those people that judge...Justin Beiber?
This is the best reaction video I’ve seen. You totally nailed Prince in your analysis. So thank you for that 😁
you did the best comments to this dear...love from Greece and total respect
He was a natural freak.
If you saw the movie, the song and scene mean more, because you would know that Prince had originally said he was only gonna let the band perform his stuff only, and not use the song that the girls came up with (even though irl, Prince came up with much of it after making Wendy play her guitar chords over and over while his brain was developing something around it - they say they came back the next day and he had the song finished). So that's why Prince had a humble look on his face and the girls were a little surprised that he was going with their song after all - and even they didn't know what it was going to sound like put together.
I could listen to this song over and over
Purple Rain and some other songs were played live in the movie, and are exactly the same on the LP. You can hear someone in the audience shouting once, and that's also on the LP.
I was 15 when I saw this movie and it still hits me.
I love this song!
You need to watch the movie to get her reaction to him kissing her and him being against the song earlier in the movie
Shes not making a face she is crying because she realized he really does care about her and the band.
@Kamryn Roland What
@@kenhouston1750 Watch the movie if you don't understand!!! You'll get it once you do....
Great reaction! Peace and plenty blessings to you and your channel 🙏
💜really enjoyed your reactions and insights to this🙂 glad I discovered you, Boy from Melb Australia💜
Whoever this young woman is she is beautiful and I love her natural look instead of all this fake BBL'S, tattoos and other fake blank these blanks are into these days
So true
Watch his movie “Purple rain” to get a better understanding at this scene. It’s a great movie
The purple rain movie soundtrack is taken from a live gig … it’s on YT somewhere - amazing performer !!
Got to watch the movie
I am so glad to experience this when the movie came out. I was 13 yrs old.
What a brilliant reaction..I know i.m a bit late .Prince for me is the greatest performer..what couldn't he do .I love the emotion you show reacting... because that's what Prince was..pure emotion..what a musician..so sad he is not with us..take care.
Man...I was able to hear him sing this one time, years after the movie, at First Ave night club
First time here. Enjoyed it. Thank you. But, you really need to see the movie to understand his song fully.
Fantastic movie. This song will later make you choke away tears. Look forward to more!
You are so sweet, I like your reaction
Fun Fact: this song was recorded live and was completely improvised. The beginning and end were cut down to hide the audience reactions and to cut out certain instrumental parts
This is the first time anyone had heard this song. It was recorded at that performance.
This is from his movie titled Purple Rain. You should watch the movie so you can get the full meaning of the song. You will also enjoy the full performance in the movie😊
You also want to hear Pink Floyd. comfortably Numb ( Pulse concert ) right to the end
You should check out Prince singing Purple Rain while it’s pouring rain in a half time football show. Probably one of the most amazing performances out there.
I was just about to say the same thing, especially if she wants to hear the audience sing along.
The end of purple rain always makes me cry 😢 think it does you too 😢

ITS A FILM CALLED ''PURPLE RAIN'' - KIDS THESE DAYS - I CAN'T.
8:40 "flourishes" is the word youre searching for
Prince was great, but when one talks of the greatest performer, for me being a young man in the 70s & 80s, Freddie Mercury (Queen) will always be there at the top!
You is a singer. I love you personality.
"Talk singing thing" = Speaking with Chorus and Delay

He wrote that beginning scene was for the movie
You really have to see the movie to understand the visuals in this video.
I really wish that people that suggest songs from movie clips would include a bit of contacts. You would understand why he is so apprehensive at the beginning why the crowd seems so quiet and muted and why he goes out of his way to give credit to Lisa and Wendy. The idea that the crowd was just cold for no reason is completely wrong.
You are sooo pretty 😍😍😍 omg
You have to remember it’s from the film. In the film it’s Wendy’s song and he don’t wanna do it.
Including that guitar solo....all live...
@2:20
Audience:We don't care.
Five minutes later:🤯👏🙌👍
My favorite part of this song/video is when he went over, and kissed Wendy.....
I here for the guitar solos 🎸
Do you know... although this clip is from his movie, the audio (the song) was actually recorded live at a club? All live...all the way.
Prince ce wS a musical genius.
React to Prince-The Morning Papers official music video
This video is from the movie Purple Rain and is the first time he performs the song. The audience never heard it before so can't sing along.
You have to watch the movie to get a better context of this particular scene...he is not a stranger to this audience...there is a certain expectation by the club owner and the audience coming into this scene...just watch the movie and you'll understand
Very good reaction vid! Now that u've done your prerequisite work....Please do yaself tha service of reactin 2 his Live version of Purple Rain that he performed in Syracuse 3.30.85.!!!! #GOOSEBUMPSINBOUND
Check out his paisley park performance
Its nice to see young people actually hear good music by an actual artist.
The junk you hear on the radio now is just awful. No heart or soul just computer generated noise.
This is from the movie.
