In retrospect, Bria was/is actually quite stunning!

With all this Prince & Andy relationship garbage floating around the org lately I got a little

nostalgic. I decided to visit Prince's graveyard of girlfriends past and guess who I decided

to dig up........Bria Valente! Yes, I was on Facebook today and happen to come across Bria

Valente's fam page. lol I seen that she had some new pictures I never seen before it had

me thinking she is actually really pretty!!! She's not as bad looking as some of the people

on this message board made her out to be! Mind you, I am no fan of hers but I can see why

Prince could not say much when he was first introduced to her back in 2006! She's something! wink

I still haven't bothered putting my cd on my stereo, and it was released in 2009 right?....

2 years ago.... lol

Honestly you should give it a spin. It's not going to be featured on Classic Albums in years to come but its got some good tracks. Cheerful Prince pop, some sultry stuff. Bria's voice is clear and inoffensive to the ears.

My fave tracks:

Home
Another Boy
Immersion
Elixer

I actually like it, i find it easier to listen to than MPLSound, all tracks bar 2nite are pretty good. It's slow sexy soul/jazz style pop and P is all over it. Go on give it a spin, if you don'y like ity use it as a coaster.

lol

In retrospect, this thread will probably be moved to the related artists forum.

She looked lovely on the Tavis Smiley show... didn't even look like the same person from the album cover.

Still can't be bothered to listen to the cd, though. confused

She is very stunning. I have re-lived "Elixer" and I KNOW a bunch of people will disagree with me, BUT I actually don't think the album is horrible. In fact there are a few of them that really get it for me. Such as: Here Eye Come (I have always loved this one above the rest),All This Love, Home, Something U Already Know, And Elixer. Essentially I LOVE the first 4 tracks, and the last one a lot. 5/5 I guess? LOL. If there were just these 5 songs, it would be a fantastic album. The rest of them I can't really dig. I am not here to review Bria or Elixer for that matter..lol. I miss seeing her around, it's a shame how she is JUST gone now. Prince seems to be with Andy now, and she is pretty! BUT I mean Bria, I thought would be around for a while, she converted to a Jehovah's witness and everything...I guess I am still surprised she is not around. Haha..But she is one attractive woman! I love her Native American bone structure, she is also nicely built in all the right places. She has always been a beautiful woman to me.

It's Button Therapy, Baby!

athmosphere...a bit Sade like...

"Tranny looking"/ "Masculine looking" or not as folks love to describe her....average everyday folk on the street would kill to look like her methinks.

O!! It did not work for Manuelle? LOL. Well I guess that does not mean a thing? LOL. I am sure Bria fell off with that too by now then..lol

Now that I see a 22 yr old next to him, it really makes him look older so in fact Bria was a better choice. I take back anything negative I have said re Bria. They are all cute but as a man I draw the line with girls straight out of college....

Now I have to agree with this. Age wise she was a much better match for him. and actually with the exception of her stature...(which is my personal preference to be taller than my man... ymmv) she was attractive and dressed mellow/conservatively. I guess it was those ridiculous posts on the org that bothered me. Andy youthful appearance does make Prince appear more sedated.
