I'm all for news clips about protégées and singers, but I've never seen Bria perform live, and that bothers me.

How do you feel about that?

ThreadBare said:

this is the $6,000,000 dollar question right here. i've also been asking this for a while now...how would she work out singing in a live setting? sitting on a stool all gussied up and fanning one's self just ain't cutting it for me, i honestly would like to hear her sing live. i don't wanna hear the usual "but sheez a stoo-dee-yo act, man" response neither.

if the sista can sit n'fan, then she can stand n'sing.

L E A V E H E R A LONE! I'M SURE SHE IS DOIN FINE!

Since you know so much about this, why didn't she appear onstage?
Especially when he performed two of her songs.


Oh, and your references aren't in English, so I have no idea what you're talking about here.

lezama said:

I'm not trying to make it as a model and video 'vixen.' My appearance isn't really important to my job, therefore it's irrelevant.
The day I claim I'm a model and dance in my robe and underwear in videos, then feel free to critique what I look like, as I'd be using that as my job.
Since she's yet to prove she's a singer, then model/stripper is all we've got. That is a job based soley on physical appearance. Therefore, it's okay to criticize how well that job is done.

lezama said:

yes. but this doesnt give a date, it only says she was suppose to appear.

BriaVelveeta said:

aint that some shit? but really all the articles say is that she was there in Montreaux which we already knew. Big Whoop! Shit she coulda been holed up in the hotel room crying and eating chocolate.


Prince: "I took you to Switzerland didn't I?"

Bria: "You took me to a hotel in Switzerland!"


Prince: "Bitch it's the same damn thang!"

Des you are just too funny!!!!

And Bria you are RIGHT; If I claimed to be a lab scientist at some point wouldn't you want proof? I mean just because I've been inside a lab doesn't make me a lab scientist. If I was applying for a job as a make-up artist would how I did my own make-up that morning be all I would need to show to get the job? Most hairdressers that I know have to demonstrate LIVE that they can cut or color hair before they get a job they can't just bring in a photo and say "I did this."

ThreadBare said:

Why does it bother you? Ive never seen plenty of performers I enjoy sing live. I could also give two shites. I'd love to hear Chris & Cosey perform live again or Liz Fraser, but if I don't its my problem. Not theirs, if they don't or won't or can't.

I only know what ive take the time to read. If it hasn't been printed why Prince hasn't had her on stage I wouldn't know. If you're so curious, write him a letter and ask him.

Try learning a new language. Its not difficult.

BriaVelveeta said:

I guess youve never heard the saying 'those who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones'. Unless you're something worth looking at, talking about anothers appearance is some low cowardly shite IMO.

DesireeNevermind said:

Well you same cohort keep wondering where she is or was, obsessed with the womans movements, she was spending time in Switzerland spending time with one of the greatest performers and musicians ever and where were you? Do you keep these threads going because your jealous? It sure sounds like it. No offense, but get a life, you won't spend so much time obsessing about what other people are doing.

lezama said:

If we didn't keep this thread going honey it would have been over two minutes after it was created. You ought to thank everybody that took the time to read and or post. Aint nobody jealous cuz I got something briav aint got. I know what's going on too. Kinda sad but this is the way Prince rolls and if you don't like it you know what you can do.
Now you think about that and listen to some Smokey Robinson Tears of a Clown while ur at it.


your shit about to get locked too like all the others. tsk tsk.

DesireeNevermind said:

I believe you. Wholeheartedly

team desiree!

BriaVelveeta said:

It kinda looks like she punched him in the eye

Other than it being mentioned here that she has a cd by Prince, I still have no idea who this Bria lady is. If I hadn't found the threads here in this forum, I wouldn't even know she exists, let alone is considered a singer. At least these threads are entertaining though. I imagine if she wasn't going to break out into at least one tune with him in Montreux, chances are we'll probably never see her perform. Prince and these vanity projects are something else

DesireeNevermind said:

No, the articles saay he was in Montreux with his girlfriend.

People just assumed that's Bria.

If Bria is Prince's girlfriend, she most certainly travels with him. Or if not, she's probably at home waiting for him to get back. Maybe time to stop look at her as a "protége" who's going to debut on stage. She made a beautiful CD together with Prince. I bet he's very proud of her and wanted the world to know. I don't think she has any need of more exposure. Maybe they're both just pleased to have found love in life. If they still are together, of course. Peace!

lezama said:

Ah, but at least there, you've seen evidence of them being performers. I'd even be willing to say she really sang on the album if I could hear her do something live on a talk show or something. As of right now, her album smacks of a Milli Vanilli moment.

And, shucks, I'm not knocking vocal ability. Anyone who performs live has had good shows and bad. I know that's true for me. But, I drag my raggedy tail in front of a mic & a crowd and do it, come what may.

Why can't Bria, who's had a major CD release with Prince (who oddly continues to perform without her)?

But, yes, she travels with him. Maybe she's really just his valet.

Prince has better things to do...and women.

Bria stew

Bria's stewing.

I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS THREAD HASN'T BEEN LOCKED!

Bria is beautiful - if everyone could be so gorgeous - well I just don't know!





Plus - have to say she looks fine in that outfit as well!

It's good that Bria has at least one friend; She needs it about now. That girl's got alot to cry about and she needs a shoulder to cry on.

Prince is keeping his "private" life with Bria private. He never intended 2 expose her by putting her on stage...they r making plans as we speak. Sorry for the haters but Bria is the blessed one in his life.

4bjb said:

and you know this because?????

DesireeNevermind said:

I am having a difficult time believing that they are making plans when all report say that he did her songs on Elixer and showed her up big time. I don't think he would have done that if he was sensitive to her feelings. I also think if something major were to happen it would have happened by now. I can imagine she is holding on for dear life to any tiny thread of hope and unless P has a replacement in place he will let her keep hoping. I may be wrong but my gut and just plain sense of logic says that this relationship is just going on fumes at this point.
