Mentalist doesn't post on here anymore Syble, he got fed up with all the rudeness etc.. can't say I blame him reading some of these posts!! Unique and purplecorvette1, don't know if you realise but you KNOW Syble, she was at the last boat party, at least Unique does. I know Syble well, and she's definitely NOT the kind of person who would try to 'con' anyone, for those saying things like "nice try", that's just not her. Well, that's my little rant for the day... now onto the pic... it looks like Prince to me, in a relaxed, back stage, off guard, not thinking too much about it way... if you blow it up and look at his eyes... well I'll eat my hat if they're not Prince's eyes... but of course it could be the best impersonator there has ever been of him, and if so why is he not making a FORTUNE. Oh, one other thing, if it is an impersonator why is he not trying harder to 'pose like Prince' ???? I think it's just that we're so used to seeing 'posed' pics of him, that's why it seems so unlikely.

That's definitely Prince there on the left!

Jeffiner said:

Nobody accused her of conning anyone. They did tell her she was gullible.

Jeffiner said:

How the hell would you know what Prince looks like in that situation? You're simply making shit up to justify that the dude in this pic kinda looks like Prince, but actually doesn't.

Gotta love the reasoning: "well, this guy doesn't look like the Prince we know because he's relaxed etc, so it must be Prince!"

When you hear hoofs, think horses not zebras. If the dude in the pic doesn't look like Prince, chances are it isn't Prince -- especially when the pic is hugely unlikely to be Prince.

Jeffiner said:

Is impersonating someone really a viable way to make a fortune? Care to share any of those success stories?

Jeffiner said:

For crying out loud...

NOTHING you said debunks either of the two points I brought up:
- the dude doesn't look like Prince
- NOBODY has ever heard of this girl singing backup for Prince on a tour.

Have you EVER heard of Prince hiring local backup singers?

Moreover, this girl singer is supposed to have worked with Prince, has one or more pics to prove it, yet can't provide any detail on where and how? Oh, and somehow NOBODY has noticed her ON STAGE with Prince?

Look at that backstage area -- does that look like the kind of thing Prince would tolerate? Like the kind of thing he would happily pose for a picture in?

^^^ Did something I say annoy you???

People were saying things like "Nice try" that is not saying she's gullible. I was standing up for her as I know her personally and I believe I'm allowed to do that. I'm also entitled to my opinion 'for crying out loud'. But you carry on and get all in a state about it if you like, no skin off my nose

BartVanHemelen said:

Oh, and even Prince has to 'tolerate' backstage areas they're usually not the most glamourous of places at the very best of times! Hooves, horses, zebras....

Jeffiner said:

All that aside, it ain't Prince.

Jeffiner said:

Oh!..haven't you heard of Prince's penchant for Carlsberg ashtrays...

Jeffiner said:

you should know better enough to upset bart or ernest

if you think the photo is real, then...

It's obviously a costume party with a guy dressed up like Prince, and the girl dressed up like Rosie.

Very impressive "Prince" though.

No offense, but they look like "Dumb and Dumber: When Prince Met Rosie".

I'm not saying they look "dumb". They look very good actually. I'm just saying that this is like a "prequel" of Diamonds and Pearls... the wonder years or something.

Much better than some of the other Prince imitators I've seen.

And by the way... the guy in the pic has some serious gorilla hands!!!

i'm pretty sure she's supposed to be mayte, not rosie gaines

Her name isn't Lee-Sha... it's Lie-Ya...

This explanation fits the situation. Thanks!

that ain't Prince.

Jeffiner said:

Yes. Now show me ONE PHOTO of Prince like the one you're so keen to defend.

But the fact that you're ignoring the rest of my post speaks volumes.

And yes, you're entitled to your own opinion -- but not to your own FACTS.

And the fact is that there's a mountain of evidence to suggest this isn't Prince (doesn't look like him, wouldn't allow such pics to be taken, girl is completely unknown, girl claims to have been backup singer for Prince even though he's never hired local talent for such things,...).

Why do you continue to defend this ridiculous story?

lol at this thread.
Its like the radio interview thread from last year

Outfit is 91-92 era, hair and facial hair 94-95 era. Not Prince.

BartVanHemelen said:

Mate, I don't really give a damn whether it's Prince or not. I'm not defending anything, I've hardly said a bloody word, but you seem determined to have an argument with me anyway... let's get it clear, I haven't responded to most of what you said because it's of little importance to me, I was only defending a friend and that's the only reason I posted. You picked apart MY post, for your own reasons, but most of what I said was completely tongue in cheek anyway, maybe my sense of humour is lost on you. Why don't you have this conversation with the thread starter instead of me?

But I didn't 'upset' Bart or Ernest... they upset themselves Unique... I addressed nothing towards them, and they don't 'own' the org do they? just think the whole thing is quite amusing really!

I'm not upset at all. I know the truth.

ernestsewell said:

now you see what i mean jeffiner? all the crazy people know "the truth". prince even wrote a cd about it. that's the real prince, and not the fake one in the photo

unique said:

The truth in this case is that the picture isn't Prince. Case closed. Why any turd bucket would think otherwise is beyond me. I mean, we all agree it's not Prince right? So why the pissing match?

the reason why he's sitting is so that we won't know the true height- this dude is tall- if he stood up everyone would know it wasn't prince

Evvy said:

hahaha isn't he like 6'1 or something?

ernestsewell said:

that would explain his really long arms! that I didn't notice till now. wow!
