[[Lori Elle (Werner)|Diamond]] and [[Robia LaMorte|Pearl]] also appear in the video. After the bridge, he enters a projection room and is surrounded by children. | ||

+ | Seven ballet dancers were recruited for the video. [[Prince]] flew [[Mayte]] in to participate in the video, but [http://rebeccablake.com Rebecca Blake] voted against the idea. After [[Video: Kiss|Kiss]] and [[Video: Cream|Cream]], '''Diamonds And Pearls''' was the last video directed by [http://rebeccablake.com Rebecca Blake]. | ||
