lotusflower website - why so lame?

Hey, I have read some posts here about some people who paid their cash to go onto the site and have sot so little for it.

I presume that Prince has moved on from the Lotusflow3r album and is thinking of other projects now but how difficult can it be to put more stuff on the site - some old concerts, one or two unreleased or redone songs? How come Montreux site got a song and not this site??? He MUST be aware that he is annoying fans (who are the ones keeping him in business). Why do you think the site has turned out the way it has?

,mmmmm that does makes me wonder too .....
cos the money l paid for when l joined up,,,,thought we were supposed to be getting more out of it than we paid for...in fact we only got so little ....
so lm curious about this and want to knw whats going on ???
...

I used to think maybe Prince wasn't paying attention to it because of health or legal issues, but after the Montreaux gigs, we can rule out health issues. And I doubt he has any legal problems.

So, unfortunately, I am left with no other answer than "We've been screwed".

I do not put much stake in those that say, "Hey, the year's not over yet. Be patient". It has been TWO MONTHS since anything new was added to the site.

To me, there's no other explanation than Prince has forgotten about it, doesn't care about it, or otherwise abandoned it.

Sad. Right now, I feel taken.

i think youll find the deal was 'sold as seen' you cant buy something on a wing and a prayer that it may change, noone promised anything more than what there is, the downloads to the new music, pre-sale tix, unlimited viewing of the pics and vids.

I thought 77$ was quite a good deal for three albums, a tee-shirt (okay I aint got it yet!) and membership to the site. It was my choice as it was all of yours, so quit whingeing after the fact!

TOO MANY TO COUNT

i gave up on moaning-or really caring about Lotus-but I'll be dammed if i'm gonna sit and read shit like THAT post.....

PS-glad you like it-enjoy the party for one-Barbara Bates

i didn't expect "a year membership" to mean that there'd be maybe a month or so of activity on the site, then it would get dropped like a hot potato.

i've only been inspired to visit LF.com maybe three or four times since it launched. aside from the videos from the new album, there's absolutely no content on there that i either don't already own or haven't already seen many times. as for the album downloads, that's an 11.98 value for anyone with access to a target store.

if he posts an exclusive album for LF.com subscribers sometime before the end of the year's subscription period, that would be enough to make me shut up. even if it was just stuff he grabbed out of the vault and dusted off. or if he did a one-disk remix/re-recording album for the new album the way he did for RAVE. that would be cool. just SOMEthing unique for the people who signed on.

Yeah. A bit like the NPGMC site.
Although it had pleanty of technical problems, times and technology have moved on. Do you remember the excitement of waiting for the NPG Audio and new songs and videos every month. I would love lotusflow3r.com to be like that but it just ain't. Like most other fans, I never visit it any more. There's just no point!

How many of you will join up to another prince web site?
Not many ,I won't bother it's a waste of time and money as I'm yet to see my t-shirt,can't watch the videos with out them freezing.
Prince has done himself in on the web,he'll have to come up with another way to sell his music!

Web site content is part of the candy that we're getting no more of.
