The Moron Formerly Known As TTD is a complete and utter prat and a delusional idiot.
(And does he have any understanding on what the New World Order really is? NOT something to embrace).
What a knob!

i love TTD, he's a nutty unfocused pisces and he sings like old bacon grease in big mamma's skillet. he's developed his own narcissistic space in europe and theres actually people who consider him on par with prince and mike, that shit is dilusional and yet it sounds fun in an alternative reality sort of way LOL.

the one pop singer crazier than Prince has weighed in.

"Wildcard" was a great album. It was shelved for years because of record label BS. Do yourself a favor and buy a copy. You can find it dirt cheap(used) on Amazon.

Sounds like someone's trying awfully hard to be a Prince clone

wildcard was such a let down that it turned my feelings inside out. ever get so mad that all you could do is laugh, like when the cabinet door hits you in the elbow and you try to beat the shit out of the cabinet door..then you laugh at how fruitless it is. i was so mad at wildcard i had to catch myself and say man, it's TTD come on now you silly guy u didnt expect anything coherent did ya?. i just gave it to a friend, who laughed at how easily i could pass it on and laugh at myself.

Here we go again....

Sananda Maitreya is an extremely talented artist. Why do some fools always gotta hate on the man. The fact is his entire catalog sounds extremely different from Prince's music so why do some of you always classify him as a Prince wanna-be, that just shows ignorance on your part. It's always the same thing on the org, one person posts news on Sananda and then the idiot parade comes out to bash him. They never have anything new to say except the same old shit:
* that he's a Prince wanna-be (he's not)
* they bring up some silly comment he made in the 80's when
he was just starting out.
* the name change (Prince changed his name to get
outta his contract. Sananda changed his name
for spiritual reasons and has kept his new
name. A lot of people have done this...Muhammad
Ali, Malcolm X, Cat Stevens, etc. Funny they
never referred to as Prince wanna-be's.
* the Angels and Vampires album cover that ignorant
people like to dis instead of talking about the music.

You haters are showing your true ignorance. Any black man that plays rock,
that is a multi-instrumentalist, that is a singer/songwriter, is automatically
labeled a Prince wanna-be regardless of whether or not his music sounds like Prince's. Sananda's music sounds totally different from Prince's. Sananda has released some of the best funk/rock cd's in the last 17 years. Have you heard "Symphony or Damn," "Vibrator," and "WildCard?" Whether or not you like it is a matter of taste but you cannot deny after listening to these albums that there is a HIGH DEGREE of talent, musicianship, and songwriting involved. Those 3 cd's are fucking incredible...but most of the haters have probably only heard "The Hardline."

And to the guy who keeps calling Sananda "Sandra"...dude, you show up in every single Sananda thread with the same corny joke and nobody laughs. Get a new line bro. You must be the annoying guy at the party who keeps saying the same crappy joke until someone reluctantly chuckles just so you'll go away. That "Sandra" line is very "third-grade" of you.

So yeah, Sananda is a great musician/songwriter. An incredible vocalist. He may not be everyone's cup of tea but who is? I just think some of you should stop hating on another excellent musician just because he's not Prince. There's only one Prince. There's only one Sananda. There are many incredible artist in the world. Be a lover not a hater.

take a chill pill dude, you obviously take life too seriously, just like Sandra does

Another thread infested by trolls...Bunch of assholes!

Some fans take themselves way too seriously. Who are you to speak so rudely to someone who is talented and has done things you can only dream of doing?

What an ol' .org vibe this thread has!!



I love it!

Sananda Maitreya (Terence Trent D'Arby) is way awsome!!!!!

Totally different than Prince, But awesome just as well.

"The Hardline According to.." is always handy and ready to play.

Also it is obvious that the old model for selling music HAS to change.

There was once a time when the ONLY place to buy music was at a record store,..and even if a buddy of yours recorded a copy for you, it still didn't affect sales too much, ..But because of the Internet,.....music that hasn't even been officially released is already in some of our possession!!
No matter how small or remote your city is in, you can get any recorded music you want, record store or not.

You mf's are so annoying TTD is incredibly talented, that's all you need to know

@ this entire thread from start to finish...

TTD'S Last few albums have kicked Prince's ass. If you took the time to find out for yourself the haters would be eating crow by the heaping spoonful.

I never expected this thread to be so...controversial.

Well said friend...

I find it funny how the mood of this topic changed halfway through. Trent's a talented artist with a tainted view from the public after that comment he made in his early days. It's a shame some people don't take the time to actually listen to his stuff before jumping on the Hate Train.

Oh yeah, TTD is talented.

But he's as mad as a lorry

I honestly don't think he sounds much like Prince at all, but he DEFINITELY digs his style and perhaps would do some of the things has done if he was anywhere near as big.

Hardline was good, had some decent tunes but was nowhere near the level of hype

Fish nor Flesh was too muddled...not my cup of tea

Symphony or Damn is one of the most underrated and forgotten albums of the 90s

Vibrator was too like Symphony or Damn, but not nearly as good. Not to my liking

WildCard was poor IMO.


I think he was too unfocused to be honest and that was his downfall

Apparantly he was a decent boxer too
