Mel B from the Spice Girls is due to make her comeback album with the help of Prince. i think that was what i heard on tv this morning on my way out. does anyone know if this is true ? i dont usually take breakfast tv as the most reliable source of information out there lol

Dammit! I don't want Prince teaming up with a Spicegirl

oh sorry i just saw the other thread now
thanx for the link anyway Essence

heres the sun articles text from their website:

Mel and Prince team up
MEL B is relaunching her solo career with the help of PRINCE.


And later this year she will team up with two other Americans – R&B star JA RULE and rapper JAY-Z.

The former Spice Girl hopes she can break into the US market with her high-profile collaborations.

Mel said: “My music aim is to go to America.

“I’m going to start it off in America because I’ve had lots of offers and proposals from people who want to work with me out there.

“One of the people I can confirm I will be working with, which I am really excited about, is Prince.”

Mel insists it was her decision to split from her record company Virgin.

But she blames herself for her lack of success as a solo artist.

She said: “I don’t think I had the right frame of mind and focus for my direction.”

Mel would be advised to check Prince's track record for "helping" other people before she relies on him to help her do anything. Unless you are an old funk legend that he admires, be prepared to suck his dick in exchange for his "help."


Prince

Does Mel B need Prince for a comeback or does prince need Mel B ?

Janeau...that's a scary question!!!

MiaWallace said:

same thing for me, why not an ex Luscious Jackson member instead?

Just out of curiosity, How many acts of Princes have actually done really well ?

what about mani?

Janeau said:

lol. i think mel b does. 40,000 album sales!! that's hard. and i know a lot of those sales came due to her being the spice girl.

prince is already considered a genious. his mani priority is music not the commercial success nor recognition mel probably desires.

Those people were recording (and successful) before Prince had anything to do with them.

Probably only The Time and Sheila E.

How about The Go-Go Girls?

Greeeaat...

Michael Jackson gets decent airplay for a wack album.

And Prince works with a former Spice Girl.

Is this the part where I kill myself?

ronnie said:

Vanity 6? I guess they were moderately successful. They had a couple of hits that's true.

ronnie said:

Do you mean The Bangles? The Go-Go's wrote and played all their own songs..Which, if you ask me gives them much more credibility then most of the rock bands of the 80's..yet, the seem to not get much credit for it...

yes but only if u take me with u in death ... lol ... anything 2 rid me of the howling that darts out of that thang they call Mel b ... ugh is it just me or lately does everything pertaining 2 prince seem 2 b on spin dry in a washer ... or perhaps it his brain??! I honestly wanna know if he is under the 'influence' or did mel b posses him? Otherwise what kind of musical growth does he ever think is gonna spur from working with a former pop whore... ick he may as well start ‘dancing with the devil’ cuz that album is not gonna c the light of day in prestigious ‘chart’ land (but like he cares anyway, exposure is exposure),or better yet why not invite Britney into the picture & start a tradition of recruiting from the motherland of teeny boppers 2 add 2 NPG... it couldnt possibly get any more B-freaking-fuddling ... lol

Actually who knows maybe this could be a good challenge 4 him i mean another 'break the chains' challenge ... hmmm I suppose in reality its just a second hand job 2 him ... ugh so its probably no biggie ... i just get expressive sorry ya'll ... lol ... But mel b ...

'Prince's acts' does not refer to any artist he has worked with or i would have asked about colaborations instead.
