not exactly identical (ex: both pics don't have the same facial expression and pose) but from my point of view, it has this vibe that relates to this old photo and recent photo

I notice he uses sunglasses when the lighting is too bright when on stage such as the ALMA Awards for instance.

Oops...looks like somebody made a big error on those pics. They have Misty named as "Bria Valente" in those pics with Prince.lol

[Edited 2/28/11 8:39am]

That is a stab in the heart 4 Bria. eye feel sorry 4 her. Prince fans always tear her apart...

I don't feel sorry. And for the "orger" posting really nasty catty things about all of Prince's exes in order to boost Bria... Like i said back then.... "every body gets their own turn being the one Prince kicks to the curb... and when it is Bria's turn, people won't feel so sorry for her because she is being so nasty to people now when things are going good."

I warned her (or her people) to be nice so people won't be so gleeful when her heart is broken.

Bria is so much more voluptuous & hotter. Given his uneven track record, Misty will be jettisoned like an extra newspaper CD before the end of the year. Somebody oughta warn her away from him. wink

yeah, this could be a flash in the pan.. Prince does have his track record. But

1) I don't see how Bria is hotter or more voluptuous than this girl Misty. Not one person has wondered if Misty is a man. Not one.

2) if this is a flash in a pan romance... Misty is a Ballerina.... she is a younger Prince in the dance world. Young protege with natural born talent and looks to match. She will fare MUCH better than Bria.

Hopefully Bria is working on my suggestion to her to find a nice slightly homely doctor (who worships the ground she walks on) to marry and settle down, have some kids and have a ball spending his money and going to social parties as Mrs. DOCTOR Jon Doe.

That is not a bad life really. I'd take it. biggrin

armpit said:

Not a super-duper ballet expert here myself, but I know a few things, and..

She says on her site that she's the first black soloist with ABT, which, is true. Now if she had said she was the first black principal with ABT, then you'd have grounds to complain.

There's the corps - all the dancers who form the majority of the company and pretty much do all the background dancing - think of the swans in a ballet like Swan Lake - that's the corps.

The soloists, are the ones who get to do some solo work and stand out and get attention - kinda like supporting actresses in a movie, and corps are the 'extras'.

The principals/prima ballerinas, are the ones who do the lead roles, and are really well known. A principal will dance Odette or Odile (or both) in something like Swan Lake ; or dance the lead role of Cinderella... Alina Cojocaru is a principal dancer; so was Gelsey Kirkland, Sylvie Guillem....Lauren Anderson, a black ballet dancer, was a principal at Housten Ballet if my memory serves me correctly. Carla Fracci was a principal dancer ; Anna Pavlova... basically, the household names of the ballet world.

...Why don't you just admit that you're just really pissed because Misty might be dating Prince, and you're jealous, so you're reading all this sinister intent into everything she says and does, that isn't there. lol

Armpit - Do not make assumptions. I think you missed my key point about people acknowledging who lead the way to open doors for them rather than implying they have made "history" for promotion of their own selfish goals. There was no humility in her interview and her motives are apparent.

Do not make assumptions about my purpose in providing additional information. I think anyone who has a friend would not like false information being noted about them or someone trying to take advantage of them. All I can say is in the years I have been around artists in the industry in due time eventually Jehovah reveals everything at the right time and Prince is an intelligent man.

-Telling the Funk the Whole Funk and Nothing but the Funk-

From the other Misty thread:

3121TV:

This posting seems rather interesting. I am going to ask this directly and to the point. Are you Misty's publicist? Are you Misty or a friend of Misty? I find it rather suspicious that your account on Prince.Org was just opened January 2011 and your only posts are related to Misty.

I honestly am not impressed by Misty and it is my opinion she is another person trying to use Prince to obtain additional exposure in a market she has not been exposed to previously. I would recommend he not have her perform at future performances.

So who the heck are you? You're accusing that poster in the other thread of being Misty, while your only posts are ones that are critical of her and two about a cancelled Euro show.

You also use the term Jehovah....hmmm....

HI BRIA!!!

and

BYE BRIA!!!! wave

Bingo! I noticed the use of the name Jehovah as well and thought the exact same thing. wink

Prince Apologizes to L.A. Fans, Will Issue a Limited Edition Remix CD Through In-N-Out Burger

prince5-thumb-480x374.jpg
Who knew Prince liked his burgers animal style?
​In the wake of Prince's much decried three-show evening at L.A. Live on Saturday, which was plagued with sound problems and saw many fans still waiting in line for the Club Nokia show while he was inside performing, the musician last night issued a formal apology, via email, for evening's confusion. As an effort to make amends, the artist will be releasing a new remix CD available only through west coast hamburger chain In-N-Out Burger. West Coast Sound learned this information in the middle of one of the most surreal evenings of our life.

We received an email from Prince last night at about 8 p.m., and, of course, thought it was fake. We replied in an attempt to confirm that its veracity. The email exchange follows. (At Prince's request, we have removed his email address.)

EYE READ YOUR REVIEW AND U ARE RIGHT. IT WAS NOT JUST L.A. LIVES FAULT. IT WAS MY FAULT 2. I WOULD LIKE 2 APOLOGIZE 2 MY FANS 4 ANY FRUSTRATION THEY HAVE FELT.

LOVE AND PEACE 2 U,
PRINCE

EYE WILL CALL U? WOULD U LIKE 2 GO ON A RIDE?

Sent via BlackBerry from T-Mobile

____________

We emailed him our cell number, and about fifteen minutes later get a phone call from someone purporting to be Prince's driver, who called himself Pipe Dream. He wanted directions to our house. We warily gave it to him, and an hour later Pipe Dream calls saying that he and Prince are out front. We run down to my parking lot and fuck if there's not a white Bentley there.

We climb in the back and there's Prince. He smiles, shakes our hand (for the record: he's got a loose dead-fish handshake) and we start driving. He says he's glad we live in Hollywood, because he wants to take us somewhere close by. We're freaking out inside. In the backseat with Prince. He's got on this red and black get-up that looks like something a figure skater would wear, and, oddly, purple Ugg slippers. (We never thought we'd be seeing Prince in Uggs!)

It's actually really awkward, because he's not saying anything, and we're not sure if he's pissed for what we wrote. We complained about frustration that many people felt at the sound during the recent L.A. Live shows, which were held at three venues in the complex. We're driving down Sunset in Hollywood, and Prince turns up the stereo. There's a weird remix of "Tambourine," a great under-appreciated track from Around the World in a Day. We mention that it's one of our favorite songs of his, and ask him why he never plays it live.

"That whole album existed in the studio," he said. "Replicating it would be impossible. Plus, most of those songs weren't very good." (He's right, but it's still got some great tracks on it.)

innout-thumb-480x329.jpg
Buy one of these tomorrow, get yourself a totally hot Tiesto remix!
​And then, bam, next thing we know we're in the drive through at the In-N-Out by Hollywood High, and we're about to lose it. Can life get any more surreal? (This is actually our second run-in with celebrities and fast food. We once shared White Castles with Jerry Lewis.)

While we wait in the line, which, as always, is stretched out of the parking lot, Prince asks if we like the remix that's playing. Yes, and he says that it's part of a collection of quick-turnaround dubs that he commissioned on Sunday afternoon in the wake of the L.A. Live disaster, part of a plan to make amends with the West Coasters who spent good money on tickets to a subpar show.

"People think that I exist in this bubble, that I don't watch what's going on in the clubs. This CD will show them otherwise." He then explains the concept: a dozen remixes of Prince classics, created in 48 hours, by some of the world's best producers.

One of the burger grunts standing in the parking lot walks up to the car, and Prince rolls down his window. The Latino dude's eyes pop wide. "Can I take your order, Prince?"

"Yes, I'd like a double-double, animal style, extra pickles, an order of fries and a Diet Coke."

We died and went to heaven. We just heard Prince order In-N-Out. "I'll have the same," we say.

Prince then tells us the plan. As a symbol of his remorse, he will issue a limited edition CD of these remixes via In-N-Out Burger. The money for the pressing will come out of his own pocket, and In-N-Out has graciously offered to hand them out to anyone ordering what Prince orders: A double-double, animal style, extra pickles, an order of fries and a Diet Coke.

We pull up to get our food, and Pipe Dream tells the cashier that Prince is in the car. She summons the manager, who smiles out the window, waves to Prince in the back seat, and hands us our food, along with a CD. Apparently they'd pre-arranged this.

Prince pulls down a TV tray type thing -- "cherry wood," the artist offers -- and we unload our food and cruise down the Sunset Strip eating burgers and listening to remixes. We're not a Tiesto fan, but his take on "Housequake" is pretty frickin' deep. Prince also played a wicked version of "She's Always in My Hair" as interpreted by Hot Chip, and, unbelievably, a Lil Jon remix of "Kiss" in which, instead of Prince singing "kiss" in those little breaks, Lil Jon screams "Yeeeahhh!" Sounds bad, but in a Bentley sound system with an animal style In-N-Out burger in your stomach, it's pretty frickin' wicked.

The whole experience took less than a half hour. He drove us back to our place, we thanked him for the late night dinner, and he and Pipe Dream drove away. He let us keep the CD.

Prince's In-N-Out 4 Me-N-U remix CD will be available at the Hollywood In-N-Out Burger for one day only, starting tomorrow, April 2.

Track Listing:

1. "House Quake" - DJ Tiesto's Retarded Thump remix
2. "Raspbery Beret" - Diplo's Purple People Eater Mix
3. "When Doves Cry" - Peter, Bjorn and John's Whistle While You Funk Remix

7. 'P Control" - Snoop Dogg's Smell It Like It's Funky Mix
8. "Gett Off" - A.R. Rahman's Raspberry Bhangra Mix
9. "Little Red Corvette" - Coheed & Cambria's Epic Futility Remix
10. "She's Always In My Hair" - Hot Chip's Sunshine Turn to Rain Remix
