just got back from work and some nice orger gave me a helpfull link. Loved the song. I'm a huge fan of his funky sound, so as you might understand, I'm crazy about this song. And F.u.n.k, so hope he'll continue this sound

Wall said:

Damn Wall...You've outdone yourself with this one...LOL...It's funny...When you first came to this site, I thought you were just a cat that spoke his mind about Prince, no matter what folks said on the Org...I thought your posts were quite refreshing (considering the fact that a lot of folks on the Org would praise Prince's farts...)....But over the past year or so, you have been heading into a whole other direction...You have officially become a caricature...Your hate (you've crossed that line from keeping it real to being just plain ol miserable) is as predictable as the Prince set list you obsessively criticize...It's now gone into the land of Shock Posting...

Where's the old Wall at? The ome that didn't have to go into overblown revisionist history to make his point...I wouldn't mind reading those posts again...Cuz this other shit I'm reading is a joke...LOL

Murph, Anxiety, Mendes...

Now we are talking...cool things about this performance

Prince live

Awesome that it was a new song! Although P already has a song called Loose..hmm

The beginning was Prince people...it was staged - he stalled like he was debating playing and the woman were telling his to get out there and sing it! He also did it to get the crowd hyped which he did - they were nutso! Always good to see when P is live on TV

The performance could have used more energy but as Anx pointed out its got that festival sound to it- good point - imagine being outside watching P listeing to this song - great summer joint!

The lelisha girl everyone has been talking bout was in the middle with the fro
and on that note I liked the girls - way mo betta than the twinz - however the girl singing at the end could have been cleaner - Prince's reaction is classic!

The entire perfomance had that Vegas 3121 afterparty vibe which was cool 2 see

Set was bad-ass! one of his best on live TV...IMO - the BAD-ASS pic hanging in the background!!! Lets hope its the new CD cover!!

Good job P

Yes thank GOD

2020 said:

On the real, thanks 2020...But don't get it twisted...I thought the performance was not among his best since he made the Musicology come back...In fact, other than the guitar playing (I dig it when he plays rhythm as well as lead-rock...He has a great feel for that...) it was pretty bland for my taste...But again, my post was less about that and more about folks that are going beyond the call of duty in their criticism...

It's like criticizing the performance is not enough for some of these folks...LOL....They have to go into whether or not Prince is happy (frankly, I don't care about that shit one bit...lol) or analalyzing his love for albums on whether or not he plays them live...(that shit may be true to a point, but he hasn't played a lot of Rainbow Children, easily one of his best albums over the last 10 years...So that means Prince doesn't dig R.C.?)

The bottom line is we should all be able to criticize Prince when we want to...But shock posters should be called out...People that just come on this site to antagonize the nutjobs on the Org (and u know who you are...lol) should be called out...If you really have nothing to contribute to a real spirited discussion then I don't see any reason to take such folks seriously...

Ooooh, I like that heart mirror.

I love the whole set up.

the tune has potential, if he wasn't yelling/shreiking it. it's kind of dull, but there's something in there to work with, i suppose.

ToraToraDreams said:

Oh yes the mirror...forgot to mention that!

Yes, who noticed the mirror? Remember from where??

Lovesexy/SOTT Tours

2020 said:

Yes, totally LoveSexy/SOTT! I couldn't remember what era it was from when I say it.

The whole staged looked pretty cool, it was just too small.

Nag, nag, nag!

I like this song. I like the Seventies vibe it has, with a little bit of the Sixties, Chuck Berry. I'm going to play it a few times more!

Thanks Serpan

Serpan is amazing

murph said:

You're just realizing Wall's posts are hate-filled? As they say, "Better late than never".

WE LOVE THE FUNK YES WE DO!! but the SLY/GRAHAM stuff on live TV can be tired sometimes, I think whatnis is we are craving not the old Prince but that PRINCE SOUND


the realm of PFUNK-BLACKSWEAT-3121 etc yes we love PARTY PRINCE But we like to hear that SEXY IN YOUR FACE PRINCE!



this is what was missing ...and not to say that he needed to perform these particular songs it's the arrangement,but im sure he has many versions of this new song up his sleeve so we just have to stay tuned

Thanks Serpan with the pics, you are the man! I've played the song a few times since last night and Turn Me Loose is still a cool song with me. Not the best but not the worst and it isn't groundbreaking but I don't think it was intended to be. It's a light-hearted song that's funky. I admit, it's a 70's kind of funk that I personally would like to see Prince break away from, but it's funky nonetheless and I had fun with it as it appeared Prince had fun with it too. It was too short but then again, I'm a Prince fan, I always want more with him. I wasn't disappointed.

don't know if mentioned, but who's the third "new" girl?

2020 said:

Correction 2020...the lady with the 'fro in the middle is Marva King, the singer sitting on the right is "Ledisi".

The performance was really cool. I enjoyed the set layout the most. Beautiful spring colors and I'm so lovin the feature of Marva, Shelby and Ledisi. Whomever designed this performance took the time to really do a good job. It reminded me a bit of the Sign Of The Times band/tour. The song was aight too

That was the first complete and harmonious balance I've seen from Prince in a really long time. He seemed extremely happy. Props to the crew and the surprises in store for tonight at Coachella

Well...so much for watching it when I want on Youtube. It's gone.

Thank you for the great screen pics!

Doozer said:

Thank you also!

DJ506 said:

Lol. One vid was removed WHILE I was watching it.

Oh wellsssss, I downloaded it before they removed it anyway.

Oh, yeah...and Ledisi? could someone fill me in on this?

People, stop going to Youtube for Prince videos!!! They alway get taken down. There are other sites out there. So do some homework!!!

2020 said:

You're a little mixed up. The "lelisha girl" is Ledisi and she was the one singing "solo" at the end of the song. The woman with the afro, in the middle, was Marva King who performed at the O2 shows this past fall, and the other woman with the long hair was Shelby J. (also performed at the O2 shows).

Totally sexy, cute, and yummy....just over too soon Dig'n the heart mirror...I think he looked over to it..that's how I noticed it.....cuteness and man that was funky!!!! Did you hear it?? That was no Musicology tune. That was a major step up!! The crowd was so loud it was hard to hear it all. Thanks for the lyrics.... (note to Jay: it isn't "Co-chilla Valley) You did it again Prince!!! Hearts back atcha That should heat things up in the desert for everyone.
