Yes, Prince fans knew of Carmen first through him. Also, in the mix of Carmen/Mayte was Nona Gaye; whom Prince was engaged to and was with for 3 years. Do video on Nona, please. She's a very talented person.

I like a lot of his songs but I would have never considered dating him there was too much going on there

Carmen and Pamela were two of the most beautiful from Baywatch aside from Traci Bingham.

White girls were different back then. I loved it.

Yazmeen Bleeth as well.❤

❤❤❤❤❤❤

Cringe.

That's amazing 👍 Happy New year 🕛🎊

TRUTH 💯

She doctors them herself thou

😂😂😂 I am truly shocked.. how random

That's a shocker. But, then again she married Dennis Rodman. 🤷🏾‍♀️

Another beauty with horrible taste in men.

She also dated B Real from Cypress Hill

@@redwolf7001 Yep! I remember when Howard Stern interviewed them. For good reason, Carmen looked uncomfortable. 😣

Highly insecure men tend to do that.

I just think that men who have access to lots of beautiful women have a tendency to feel that they can't turn them down! Almost like they have an obligation to fully utilize all of their options.

@@zukini8763 I think men "fully utilizing all of their options" pretty much makes the case for them being predators rather than collaborators. Prince was certainly no collaborator - more like a dictator.

Narcissistic men collect harems. They don't give themselves entirely, its how they move through.

Same here! Dave is sexy in a gothic way. 😍

I wish her and dave stayed together. They seemed a perfect fit. Their show was one of the best from that era too

Do we ask famous men to acknowledge who introduced them to the people that made them stars? Do we even think about who "made" famous men stars?

Prince dated Nona Gaye?

@@AshilaqC-he3fj yes for three years they were even engaged at one point he broke off his engagement to her and ended up marrying Mayte

Carmen looks a tiny bit like another stallion in the stable--Appollonia Kotero.

Whut!!! 😂😂😂 That song was something!!!!

Since I'm a prince fan I knew that and was hoping someone would posted it lol Its one of my favorite songs actually

Considering she said this after Prince passed I can't believe it. Can someone give my some proof besides just her word

Yes Prince was inspired by the Carmen Jones movie staring Dorothy Dandrige when he picked out Carmen’s name and now recently she’s saying that she wants to legally change her name to Carmen Electra she hasn’t use her real name in decades

I noticed that pretty much all of his proteges'--men and women--enjoyed some success but nothing that matched his own.

Does your mother in law drink decaf?

Lol, I know, right? I think a lot of the time when people have a "beauty secret," it turns out to be just postulation. We know what makes people have less wrinkled skin. It's 1) Sunscreen and/or staying out of the sun. 2) Good skin genes (luck). 3) Proper cleansing and moisturizing. 4) Having enough water and healthy food, though excess water and excess nutrients haven't been proven to help that much. 5) Ingredients like exfoliants, niacin, retinoids, vitamin C, etc. in skincare. 6) Injectables, surgery, other treatments performed in an office by a professional.

I really was under a rock 😭😭😭

I was under the rock pile, too Karine 😅

Yes!!!

Exactly. I think he used women for the most part. He wanted to mold them in the image he had for them, not help them in achieving THEIR goals. There are so many men like this in history; it's the "Pygmalion and Galatea" myth come to life. Interestingly, while few Greek myths have happy endings, that one does - because ancient Greece was a patriarchy too, and they wanted to confirm and perpetuate the idea that a man molding a woman into his ideal (and her being grateful to him) was a good thing that resulted in happiness, instead of what we now know it to be - abuse. Women have had to depend on men to "make them" famous for the most part. But I don't give the men credit for this kind of thing, it happens because of sexism. Full credit goes to the women, and my heart goes out to the women whose looks didn't get them noticed and whose talent therefore was ignored. Someday women won't have to rely on often predatory men to "help" them get seen.

Wow what an incredible list of recommendations. I’m doing Dona Drake next but all the others are on my list as well. I definitely got you ❤

@@KarineAlourde Thank you kindly!

@@KarineAlourde How on the music group expose , envogue , the jets , & jade ; also on Tina Britt !

Rapping started in the Bronx in the 70s. I'm sure there were lots of women rappers before Debbie came along and copied that style and made a video that got on MTV. Not that she shouldn't necessarily, but she wasn't the first, and she wasn't anything near the best representative of the style.

I use to live that show and her on it

I wonder whose idea it was? Does she still have it?

Good Afternoon. Rogers is Prince's middle name. His full name is Prince Rogers Nelson.

Thats his middle name his real name is prince.

And yeah, I shouldn't have been watching that music video at such a young age lol
