Technically, isn't the entire Sign O the Times movie lip synched? I know, not really the same, and he frowned on forced lip synch when he could have played live.
This is because Warner Bros would not allow him to perform live. They wanted to force him to sync and he refused, he said he would not fake it, hence his blatant gum chewing during the "performance" lol gotta respect him for that 😅
@@tracyface69 correct. All the sound, minus the music video, was recorded live. However, all the visuals of the stage performances were filmed at paisley Park where the prince and the band did indeed lip sync to a live track.
I play 27+ instruments, have a ridiculous vocal range, can actually do a move that not even Michael Jackson can do, and not to mention my pristine glam and outfits, and you want me, ME to lip sync? Aiight, You gets NO Band and Im chewing gum through the whole set🤞💯😭🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
It’s amazing how when Prince starts to dance you see how stiff the other dancers are and how smooth and fluid his dancing is. He’s on the beat and they’re not at times. 😂 You had to be on your game at every step if you were going to dance with Prince.💜
5:16 i-effing-conic 😮 everything about him 5:26 smooth as silk with that footwork and i wonder who he looked at off-stage that made him smile like that 11:46 front and center with a lollipop not giving a care and not singing 😅
How could he give such a consise proffessional speech without being out of breath after a very demanding 10 minute dance routine.?? Re. We are the World - he preferred to keep his philantropy secret not advertise it like this. He wanted to do a guitar solo for them because he never sang in a group and rarely did covers. This was a horse designed by a committee - its a wonder he showed up at all, he was right to have misgivings. The lollypop was a clever way to tell everyone Im supportive of YOUR efforts but my voice aint on this.
He could Dance better than profesionals dancers he employed, without any training .. he made all the coreography of his vids and live concerts by his own.
What a great dancer Prince was. Was there anything he couldn't do on the highest level? Prince performing playback is like swimming in a pool without water.
Just no. Michael was touring the world while Prince was still thinking he was gonna play basketball as a career. By the time Prince's first album dropped, MJ had been in the business for over 10 years. MJ took inspiration from James Brown and Fred Astaire.
Horrible song, corny and cheesy with bad grammar and a whole egocentric agenda behind it. 3 years after the song sold millions, the group USA for Africa was sued by the city because they din't report the earnings, plus the money never got to the African children. Many participated artists regretted publicly their involvement, from Bruce, Dylan to Lauper. Prince was right since the beginning, the whole thing was a flute. During the USA For Africa press conference "they" unfairly trashed Prince for denying to participate, BUT by the 90s the whole 80s "me generation" was over, We Are the World deserved what it got that night and Prince got his vengeance, he still been praised for the best f-you to the system on national television.

,I wondered how much money Africa got from this song 85-95. How much was progressed in Africa? I'm sure Quincy saw some money in his pocket. I think Michael didn't take any money. But Lynal Richie probably got paid. Prince said in 85' we have people in the USA that are hungry. Smart man to not let some make money off him.
@@saa9099 Well we will never know, BUT MJ was a brutal business man, remember he lived with Donal Trump at the Trump towers, they were really close friends, so I'm pretty sure he became richer with the USA for Africa song. Remember the group was sued by the city when they failed to report the earnings 3 years after the fact (!!!!), so yeah the whole thing was fishy since the beginning.
Don’t know why he bothered getting up on stage for “We Are The World” if he thought it was stupid and just stood there sucking a lollipop. I thought it was a little bit disrespectful in a way. Love Prince, but didn’t love that moment. He might have thought it was daggy.. but perhaps should have skipped going on stage for that song if he thought it sucked.
Prince was forced to participate and he declined in that movement cause he had the right to do and finally he was right cause all for that movement was cash for music industry and no money for Africa at all. Remember charity is better if is anonymously done otherwise cash skyrockets for the person who does it not the purpose. Be smart and true caring for people in need. Prince was right
Prince lip sync?? I cannot believe what I am witnessing. It’s so strange to see him this way. I would like to know what was the reason behind the fact he accepted to do it. And I assume this was the first and the last time he did something like that, meaning lip sync.
They really butchered We Are The World!!! The absolute worst finale of all time!! Jesus that was fuggen painful to watch! Poor MJ, that song is one of his proudest musical creations.
Just watched the documentary of we are the world. I think this is hilariously bad. 10 year anniversary and there was hardly anyone from the original recording. And why the hell would Prince sing ? He wasn’t on the original. So bad and forced 😂
He did that as a show of defiance. He didn't care about Quincy or MJ. The producers regretted not allowing his performance to be live. That finale was a dumpster fire all on its own.

The artist forever known as prince
The artist untouchable and unforgettable and unbelievable and unbreakable icon forever more than life itself
so true
Chewing gum.. You can tell he was pissed thay he couldn't perform live.
Def pissed and wanted to be on stage
He definitely was pissed and he refused to ever lip sync again.
But who gets the greatest live performer in the world ever 2 lip synch?! Why oh why?!
@@ethelbaumgartner5320 But he did lip-synch quite a few times after this, especially during the Emancipation era.
Came here after reading Mayte’s book! Makes so much sense now!!!
What did she say in her book about this performance?
He was involved with Nona Gaye and Carmen Electra and than proposed to Mayte
@@mvkvi213they would not let him sing so he wasn’t gonna fake it by lip syncing.
@@XcuzeTheMessDeer we all knew that, did Mayte said in her book that she din't knew???
Bless his heart
Been a die hard Prince fan for many, many, many yrs, & I can honestly say this is the only time I've ever seen "The Man" lipsyncing.
He lip synched on Soul Train in 1994. It's so jarring to see...

@@erniewyles8832it’s my understanding that a lot of the sound was recorded live, but they had to reshoot a lot of the scenes due to bad video footage.
@@tracyface69 correct. All the sound, minus the music video, was recorded live. However, all the visuals of the stage performances were filmed at paisley Park where the prince and the band did indeed lip sync to a live track.
I’ve been looking for this acceptance speech for ages now. ThanQ
PEACE & BE WILD 👑👑👑👑🔥🔥GOTTA LOVE THE KING❤❤❤❤
I like that he mention The Revolution
For God's sake, can someone write down what she said, I don't understand?
I play 27+ instruments, have a ridiculous vocal range, can actually do a move that not even Michael Jackson can do, and not to mention my pristine glam and outfits, and you want me, ME to lip sync? Aiight, You gets NO Band and Im chewing gum through the whole set🤞💯😭🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
michael jackson could do a split, but i understand lol
Michael Jackson could do a split nice try though
@@Jace-tv3dk The fluidity is what is referred to though.
@@Jace-tv3dk He could play instruments as well but not a single video of it 😂
Why bringing MJ topic to a Prince video, WHY????? your comment doesn't even make sense, MJ did the same 5 moves for 40 years, he was no dancer.
Beautiful, beautiful Prince. Please reopen his case and find whoever murdered him. He needs justice.

You had to be on your game at every step if you were going to dance with Prince.💜
so true 🤣
OH yes.... and he like the Jacksons would fire a dancer if they could not GET it.
hands down the COOLEST mofo thats ever been on the planet
5:16 i-effing-conic 😮 everything about him
5:26 smooth as silk with that footwork and i wonder who he looked at off-stage that made him smile like that
11:46 front and center with a lollipop not giving a care and not singing 😅
That’s top player status. Three of the women he was involved with all there together. Mayte, Nona and Carmen all front and center
Ja ja ja ja ja we are the world while Prince was pulling their legs with his lollipop... I like it.

No, no proofs that he created the choreographies.
@@Gabriel_707 I would believe it, Prince did almost everything by himself.
What a great dancer Prince was. Was there anything he couldn't do on the highest level?
Prince performing playback is like swimming in a pool without water.
Gemini, Tom J, Handsome!
HOT damn
Notice his dancer/protégé Carmen Electra
💜💜💜
My aunt loved this man.
Michael defo took inspiration from here
Just no. Michael was touring the world while Prince was still thinking he was gonna play basketball as a career. By the time Prince's first album dropped, MJ had been in the business for over 10 years. MJ took inspiration from James Brown and Fred Astaire.
Prince was mad during that shit show at the end...he don't like Quincy

Damn

"Sure, I'll chew gum throughout this whole performance because this lip-synching business is ridiculous."
Comments on the We are the World recap anyone?? If you ask me that song has not been sung since then.

Me canse de mirar prefiero escuchar al mejor y que tiene linda voz michael
tell me it"s not true ... wooow ... f...k show !
Tan feo canta prince lo he escuchado y Michael Jhasson le deja cien años luz
Not happy
I like Prince, but here he is tripping. Not singing cuz MJ put WE R D WORLD 2gether is childish. Sucking on a lollipop 😢?😢😢

@@ethelbaumgartner5320facts 💯
Falta de respeito, ele é incrível e cantar essa música do mj não iria deixar ele menos ou mais famoso
Although I'm a huge fan, I fkn hate this show.
But you watched?😂
L🟣vely dancer
Why? (Just curious)
Who cares?
Then you aren't a fan 🤡
His Broadway show tunes towards the end of his life are embarrassing by contrast
Why do you think that? I thought this was a great performance
La voz es orrible de prince
LOL
11:45 11:26 12:00 FYI Prince singing part in USA for Africa was taken by Huey Lewis
Oh really, I didn't know that. Thanks for the information.
8:45 What a strange hands moved by Mayte
