I'm glad that he constanly makes music. it is one of the GREAT things about his art........but that has nothing 2 do with his short attention span. A man.......any man, should be good 4 his word. Prince has proven time and time again that his word is suspect.

There's only been 3 situations where Prince "owed" his fans anything or where Prince's word was ever on the line, so to speak.

1. Crystal Ball pre-orders

2. NPGMC

3. LotusFlower.com

Beyond those 3 things, it's no one's business what his word is. He's an artist and he ain't workin' a 9 to 5 and we ain't his boss.

Isn't 3......3 too many?

Maybe. It depends on how you categorize Prince. I've seen his ventures in reaching out to his fans. It's happened in many, many ways. From 1800 NEWFUNK, to L41A, to Paisley Park Parties, to Glam Slam North + East + West + South, to LotusFlower, to NPGMC, etc. He failed 3 times out of all of the ventures he undertook. Those odds are in our favor.

I strongly believe that no one sould be put on blast about their mistakes. The reason of this is because i think about how i would feel being put on blast about my mistakes.. Hopefully My Opinion Contruibuted to some persons thinking..

Word! Everybody messes up sometimes, but he's more than made up for the mistakes. The good outweighs the bad thus far...

BIGGEST MISTAKE: Becoming more accessible in the mid-late 90's. During and after Emancipation, he was everywhere. He became to regular for me. I liked the Rebel. I liked some of the interviews, but it was too much. I think the music suffered as well, because he became a "nice" guy.

his biggest mistake is putting out too many records. he should just go away for five years and then come back with some fresh material.

THE BIGGEST MISTAKE HE EVER MADE WAS TO LISTEN TO LARRY GRAHAM'S BULLSHIT ABOUT JEOVAH'S WITNESS

Mixing his own albums is another one. His music deserves a less polished sound

- friendship with Larry

- be in Jehovah's witness

- divorce with Mayte

- mplsound.com

and big one - no live cd and dvd

and big one - no live cd and dvd

There's not much live CDs & DVDs but you can't say he never published any.

But i agree, he should release much more live material. I am always impressed how pretty lame songs become great songs in their live versions

ok, no new/another cd and dvd

name change and "Slave" thing were easily two biggest ones.

But he's doing fine, so wasn't that a of a mistake even.

and those were his two biggest career mistakes.

I'm sure in his personal life, he could name many more that we have no idea about.

His Biggest career mistake:

No having Vanity star in Purple Rain
