The mystery of Bria Valente

So this girl manages 2 get a #2 album with Prince and does an interview at Tavis' show and... that's it? eek

No other interviews, not a single concert, no TV show, no Myspace or Facebook or website or any internet presence whatsoever, no public life at all actually.

She really sounds like someone who does NOT want to be famous, nor pursue a musical career, just as if she'd recorded her album 4 fun and that's it.

Quite surprising isn't it?

(Please no bitching in your answers: we KNOW that some people here hate Bria, no need 2 claim it over and over, thanks wink )

If you listen to her interviews she said she was surprised that Prince took her album with his album. And she was so thrilled about that etc. And that music is what she always wanted to do.

I don't think she don't want to be in the limelight.

I don't get it myself why she never performed one of her songs neutral

Her stint with Prince was more about her beauty than her talent.

I've wondered where she went as well. I liked her CD, it wasn't bad.

I love those. Wait, let me get ready for it.

Okay, let's go guys.

Where's Bria?

99% of my posts are ironic. Maybe this post sides with the other 1%.

Brenda may have her flaws as we all do, but, she's very smart wink and she got paid. Who knows, I surely don't, maybe she's still getting paid and enjoys her private "spotlight". The mystery is not about a mystery.

She was just another trophy girlfriend, just like Vanity, Apollonia, and the rest of those pretty chicks he had in the past.

She is not the first. I think Prince puts his love interest in front of the mike as some sort of seduction, or foreplay.....

Susannah, Vanity, Mayte, Susan, all sang, and had minimal talent in music. Once their time was over with Prince, they stopped pursuing it. I think it is because they knew their "talent" wasn't in music.

Bria comes across the same way. Likes to sing around the house but knows her musical talent is not good enough to embarrass herself on stage. Also, she may have stage fright because she lacks confidence in her abilities.

These are not the traits of someone who believes in him/herself's talent and pursue it against all odds.

I wouldn’t say that… She just sent us a new song titled ‘In Ur Bed’ through her ‘unofficial’ Facebook page.

REally? Sounds like maybe a Prince-like song considering the Princebonics use in the title.

lol I think she is 37. She has had some pics taken recently as well. They are good, but again the make-up is drag-queen heavy, she can not possibly need all that unless she has horrid pot marks. She still is doing the overdone arm-behind-the-head pose. If she really wants a modeling career she needs to loosen up a bit. Could she have done those pics just to post on facebook and other places on the internet.

I find her perplexing. She never gives up on having her moment in the sun but she does these half ass things then she does not follow through. I guess it just keeps her looking "busy" doing something close to nothing but different then the day before.

lol so funny how desparate she is to stay 'relevant' to P's fans when we haven't seen or heard from her in ages. I'd love to hear the message she got to take it down.

OMG can you imagine if she was really going to have somebodies baby.... with no husband? That is a quick way to end the whole Jehovah Witness thing.

Anyway, back to Bria. Honestly I would be pissed if I was her.

Why?

She makes a CD but does not end up on stage.

Andy and Misty were all over the stage.

She becomes a JW and so what, she doesn't get the guy anyway and now has to slowly back out of a very conservative religion while trying to look sexy all the time.

She has to insist that the Bria Valente face book page is not run by her in any way or form

Andy has a fb page and so does Shelby and just about everyone else on that damn stage with Prince but somehow she can't just have a facebook page, be upfront and just post songs that have not yet been released and talk about what she really is up to and planning for the future.

It is like she jumped through every stupid hoop and twisted herself in prezel shapes and ended up in the end with less than the other females in his life. The only good thing was that Target paid her directly for her work and "Bria got paid" is what Prince told Tavis therefore she is not another person that is waiting forever for Prince to pay her what she thought she was getting.

What mystery? She offers NOTHING original in terms of image or sound. From what little we saw of her, she had zero stage presence besides being the usual Prince fantasy of subservient barbie doll.

Good riddance.
