I shouldn't want to get paid doing what I love?  I think you underestimate P's "riches". He's at a point now where he's got MAJOR bills to pay. He's working to make a living and to pay the folks on his payroll. Is he just supposed to fire everybody, shut down PP and retire? And just play at coffee houses for free? Is that what you're trying to say? | |

I get what you mean by that, but that isn't what I was referring to anyway. It's this statement you made: "umm, who are we to judge a person and how they earn their money?", but then you turn around and say: "how about not giving a damn and making music for the craft versus the economics?". Aren't you judging him and how he makes his money? | |

You talk bollocks and you know it, you just trying to ruffle feathers. His musicians are poor and he don't NEED money, tell you what, why don't he do everything for free and never produce another studio album or tour ever again, after all, this shit grows on trees! If you knew what you was talking about, you would have half a chance, but you don't. | |

Serena said: sosgemini said: and its those same folks who were slaming that same Pepsi artist a few days ago for getting paid to appear at a b-day bash...and look who just did appeared at a private event for pay?  If you're talking about MJ appearing at his pimp's bday bash, there's a big difference, Prince actually performed and EARNED his money. Didn't walk in, hang out for a few minutes and walk out because he 'wasn't feeling well'. According to the 26 photos that were released of the Prince's birthday party, it didn't seem or look as if MJ was ill. Btw, this rumor about him being ill came from the same tabloid that claimed that he was booed at the WMAS. Of course, we all know that was a lie. All you had to do was look at the footage released within minutes after the show and further proof from the televised airing of the entire event. Don't be gullible and believe all the negativity about MJ. You would have a hissy fit if people lied on Prince like that and people were stupid enough to believe. Again, stop the hypocrisy. | |

You're acting like Prince never got any shit from the press. He became a laughing stock right after PR with that whole body guard/refusing to sing We Are The World thing and then turned into an extreme joke with the symbol drama....it's only NOW he is clawing himself back. As someone on the org said recently, 10 years ago the man couldn't sell-out a venue in Detriot and now look at him. It's all his own doing. He can't do it through the usual promotional means because of the monopolised music industry so here he is doing it best he can. As for MJ, so what if the feeling ill incident was garbage? He is STILL charged money to make an appearance at a bday party. Prince went to an event that raised millions of dollars and performed for FREE. Baby, that was much too fast... 1958-2016 | |

Jimi Hendrix?
He's one of the biggest sell-outs in the history of music. He's legend for selling out. He did concerts at venues and every seat was filled. Man, those venue owners made a TON of money from that. Heck! Hendrix sold albums!!!!! Recored labels made TONS and TONS of money of those. Hendrix is A HUGE SELL OUT!!! No, if you want to talk about people who haven't sold out, talk about ME! i never sold a single song EVER! i'm NO SELL OUT!!! | |

vanity2 said: I'd also like to mention that Prince is not supposed to be a pop star, he's supposed to be a musician. supposed to be according to who? you? I didn't realize Prince's life was bound to some preconceived notion of yours. I wonder if Prince also missed that memo. this message brought to you by logic. | |

But, I guess it's ok to pimp yourself out by just hanging out somewhere for a shitload of money but damn the person who actually performs his art to earn the dough. Hell, MJ sold himself out to some FILTHY rich yahoo who could've rebuilt New Orleans 10X over. How about MJ giving THAT money to N.O.?? Oh no, that's right, he has to buy back all his naughty stuff from an auction and pay all his lawyers and creditors. btw...what happened to his big fundraising single??? | |

I usually don't respond to idiotic threads like this, but what the hell.
If Prince did a commercial for Tucks medicated pads- Sellout! If Prince did a commercial for Boss drum machines-Sellout! If Prince did a commercial for Burger King-Sellout! Prince doing a commercial for high-heeled boots IS NOT SELLING OUT! Prince doing a Verizon MUSIC DOWNLOAD SERVICE commercial IS NOT SELLING OUT!!! Prince doing a stint in Vegas PLAYING MUSIC is NOT SELLING OUT!!!!! All this "I do it for the love" bull is just that, BULL!! I write music for the love too, BUT I HAVE A JOB!!!! MY PRIMARY SOURCE OF INCOME IS NOT FROM MAKING MUSIC, BUT PRINCE'S IS!!! If you only do music "for the love" you would never sell it, NEVER!!! You would play free shows, give away from CD's, and free downloads all the time, every time. Oh, and all of this "Prince is rich" crap is making me sick. So what if he's rich! Does that mean he doesn't need money? Like he is sssooooo rich that he never needs income coming, ummmm.....IN!! I doesn't matter how much money you have, if you don't keep bringing money in you soon will be broke!!! END OF STORY. And then you wanna bring up New Orleans!! Have you forgotten Prince did put a song on iTunes, and the proceeds from that song went to Hurricane Katrina relief. I swear, the world is full of idiots!! (And I bet most of the idiots screaming SELLOUT bought Purple Raincoat condoms!!!) [Edited 6/4/07 5:17am] | |

I haven't seen one positive post. And I ain't some fam who thinks the man is above criticize but some of this is ridiculous. I feel you! Some people just like to argue, and I suspect Mirror is one. I'm a realist, and I've stated before that Prince's music and creativity is not where it used to be, and it's common sense that it shouldn't be. With that said, I like Guitar, its a nice little pop song. Does it push the boundaries of creativity? Hell no! But I'm not looking for that in Prince anymore. I just want some cool little songs and if I get more, cool. But all this sell-out talk is nonsense, and Mr. Mirror is probably a disgruntled musicians who has never made any money. Most people who scream sell-out are broke! | |
