Prince portrays Royal Badness
in dazzling, disappointing video
By Scott Horaa
D&Uy Netru&aa Staff Reporter
Prince, "IWaaid Die 4 U."
Baby, I'm a Star": MTV currently
is showing a 17-minute live con
cert clip of Prince performing at a
recent Washington, D.C., concert
during his Purple Rain tour. His
"Royal Badness" is both dazzling
and disappointing in this piece as
he sloppily sings his way through
an ignominious version of "I Would
Die 4 U."

Even though he isnt up to par
vocally, his glittery white costume
and sinuous on-stage dancing m&ke
the tune visceral Just as you're
about to change the channel,
Prince starts into "Baby, I'm a
Star." The range of his voice rises,
the band sizzles and you can
almost feel the flash of frenetic
excitement that infects the crowd.
Sheila "Glamorous Life" E. bangs
her drums with boisterous zeal as
Prince closes the number with
more dancing. And as the video
fades, youll be convinced that
Prince is truly a star that's here to
stay.
