Soooo, when people question 2-3 posters here they get flagged. Okay. @FlyOnTheWall,@Latin et al need Thorazine. You are delusional. I frankly do not give a damn if my posts get deleted just because I state facts. All it does is prove my point. Reality can be a bitch sometimes. So, thank you. How about you try this crap at websites that will not cater to your nonsense. As in what you tried to do at LSA but it did not fly so you started an identical thread here afterwards. Pathetic. Still waiting for a lame reort on my question as to why you complained about the thread counter being faulty. Ohhh, yes...you have not because you got busted. Have a good one.I hope the fee you get for this stanning is worth the effort. ( Btw, your theory on engagement between Prince and Andy Allo is soooo far-fetched it is actually quite entertaining. Shows how far out of reality you are).

Susu1976, I noted that the thread view counter was not working because...STOP THE PRESSES...it was not working. Now, it is working. Problem solved.

.

I had not noticed that your post(s) was/were deleted. If they were, perhaps it's because of your tendency to use profanity, boo boo.

.

Also, you and another poster keep making a big deal of the fact that I briefly visited LSA. And, what???? It's a free country, last time I checked. However, if you must know, a comment on this site led me to LSA, where I was stunned to learn that something I had reported here was being distorted, and that distortion was now being reported as an actual fact "from theOrg." I am referring to my report, from a reliable source, that Prince had a very, very close platonic friend who lives, with her young son, in the Caribbean. Imagine my shock when I saw that my report had now become that of an island lover, possibly with Prince's love child. So, of course, I chimed in. After not too long, I was out of there because, as I stated there, I felt "like I had wandered into a psych ward." But, to be clear, if I chose to post morning, noon, and night on LSA, that would be nobody's business but my own. I only took a few valuable moments here to address this point because it keeps coming up.

.

Lastly, I raised the question of a possible engagement between Prince and Andy because of this photo, which I have posted again below, because, as they say, "a picture is worth a thousand words." Notice that she is wearing a diamond band on her left ring finger, reportedly P's diamond pinkie ring. That makes this image very suggestive. Heck, have you ever seen Sheila wearing Prince's ring? (And, I don't mean to start a war (or BLOW UP this thread) with that question. I'm just asking.)

.

In the final analysis, I just don't think it is an accident or coincidence that Andy chose this photo to post with her tribute to her beloved Prince. It would be interesting to know if this photo had been previously released. I'll have to do some digging to see what I can find out in this regard. For now, I'm over and out.

Prince and Andy during happier days...

IMO, the psych ward starts when posters come into a Prince and Andy thread to admonish Prince and Andy fans for talking about Prince and Andy. I don't usually post in the thread, but I enjoy reading it, as I did the long Vanity/Prince thread and the others, but the thread killers who come in and try to derail them are far worse than any of the posters(supporters) they try and target. It just shows a real pettiness on their part. All of you contributing to the postive of this thread, as well as the other Prince and "..." threads, please keep doing so. They are pleasures to read.

In fact, anangellooksdown, I believe it was your over-the-top cyberbully response that led to this thread being temporarily pulled Monday evening. Unfortunately, it (and my response to you) was deleted; however, I think this most relevant part of my response to you is worth repeating here:

.

You need to get used to reading about Prince and Andy Allo, as she was at the center of his work and life during the final chapter of his storied, historic life. As such, their relationship, musical and otherwise, will be written about and studied for years to come, for posterity, even. I'm just getting the ball rolling, telling the story of their prolific collaboration. That's why I keep adding to this thread: There is so much out there about the two of them, and I have more to share. It is what it is, boo boo. Haters be damned. So, try to get a grip. .

Thank you sooooo much, endiadj!! I just pretty much said the same thing in my latest comment. We must have been writing at the same time.

Thank you endiadj! While I have not posted, I, too, have enjoyed reading this thread. As a matter of fact, I couldn't find it yesterday so reached out to Latin asking where it might have gone....glad it's back. It warms my heart to think that Prince and Andy might have been truly, madly, deeply in love. In the midst of so much grief and sadness, this shines some positive light....for me, anyway.

Thanks, NotACleverName!! That is my goal: to shine a positive light. And, I have so much more to share!! It's good to know that there are those who get it. It is my hope that more Orgers will chime in and drown out the negativity.

The truth needs no defense.

It does not. But, when there are those who deliberately try to shroud the truth, some choose to shine a light on it, as am I.

This is one of my absolute favorites pics of P and AA from the Port of Rotterdam North Sea Jazz Festival in the Netherlands, I believe, on July 10, 2011. Remarkably, I don't think it has been posted previously on this thread. I started to check, but I didn't have time to search all of the 36 previous pages to ascertain. I decided to just go with it! After all, this one is nice enough for multiple posts.

[Edited 12/7/16 8:15am]

WHY DO YOU CARE?!? Get a life. It sems like you have but no knowledge in music, you spend your time putting up pieces of miniscule detail in order to come up with a broader "fact". Why someone choose to spend so much time on the Internet looking for sources to prove a point ( that is yet to be estqblished,btw) is very disturbing. I like Andy Allo like I like many other musicians but frankly, all this promotion is a put off. Prince cut ties with her, yes, he did wheter you want to admit or not, he was over 30 yrs older than her ( what kind of woman in their twenties goes for a man in his fifties...unless of course...drum roll....promotion...) Get with the program and if you want to push Andy Allo, do so by her own merits. Prince has been with women far more beautiful and musically talented than her and for him it was just another notch. She reached that magical expiration date of two yrs. It is sad that she was probably gullible and starstruck but hey, c'est la vie. You and your buddies are trying to sell a bridge. Btw, what you said about your reason on being on LSA was pure garbage. You created a thread like this one, nobody bought it so you moved here. The Org is supposed to be about celebrating all things Prince, truthfully and with honor not promoting an agenda, a make-belief relationships or one of his gazillion protégées 'careers'. I hope Andy Allo has moved on, maybe find a guy who could not be her grandpa and make a carrer for herself. Until then, so long I am so done talking to stupid. You seem beyond reproach. Kiitos ja näkemiin.

In case you haven't noticed, Susu1976, I did not start this thread. And, when I do post lyrics and music, that is always derailed by comments like yours. There's no winning with some on theOrg. In any event, so long, boo boo .

Can we all agree that it appears they had an affair, and it ended? We don't know why. We have all had -- maybe most of us, I should say - affairs end, with one or both parties regretting the end.

I have to confess that when I first saw Andy Allo on stage with Prince &The NPG in Paris/Stade de France I was thinking that she got there because she must be Prince's "love-interest" and therefore allowed to play a few chords on guitar and sing a bit in the background......and then came The Look Of Love with her on lead-vocals - still not my cup of tea BUT the way how this young woman handled the audience to sing along some of the lyrics was quite impressive !

A few weeks later I saw them in Budapest. It was just her and Shelby (what a different type of singer !) doing the background-vocals, but they seemed to harmonize quite well, the subtle and the powervoice

Anyway, after Superconductor - which is a great album (minus the titlesong maybe, which I always scip..) I checked out all of her stuff and I was lucky to see her live with band in Vienna in 2013 (without Prince ) I think that the accoustic style -like on Oui can luv (which I specially love) fits her best. I can just recommend to watch her MusicMonday-gigs on FB !

My appreciation for her art is constantly growing over the years. She's got the voice that "goes under my skin", she is a talented songwriter, a passionate performer, lovely, beautiful and ambitious.

Prince must have been feeling and thinking the same - looking at these photos posted in this thread we can see how "happy" he looked like when Andy was around....

After P started to record and tour with 3rdEyegirl and working with Judith Hill I thought that was it with them 2. So I was gladly surprised when he started to "promote" Andy before her planned Europ-tour last year (put Oui can luv on Tidal for instance....even for ridiclous 12 house...) and announced the start of his Piano&Mic-tour for the day after her her planned concert in Vienna !!!.......which stiirred up big hopes in me for an aftershow of them together, which sadly did not happen and will never happen again in this life

But to close this post in a positiv way and as someone wrote in an earlier post: Andy Allo is one of those (fortunate) artists, who got trained by Prince to help us over the loss of himself, isn't she ?

PS: I think it was time 4 a thread like this, because until now she got treated like a stepchild here on prince.org IMHO

Whatever happened between her and Prince, she seemed fine with moving on. I think he was extremely good to her and an incredible supporter and mentor. She seems to really appreciate that.

She has never went into detail. But she did say that he broke her heart & and was very hurt.

.

Prince broke many hearts. She seems like a genuinely sweet girl & Prince seemed very happy then.

So true. Bria/Brenda doesn't have an iota of talent that Andy has but she was with Prince and there are adorable pics of them together. The fact that she has said nothing is so admirable. She must have gotten hurt, just like every other one. I didn't care for her and the whole stripper turned Jehova's Witness was kinda sketchy but I do admire her for being quiet. They were together for a litle over two yrs. I hope she has found happiness with her husband. Sulje

For the record, Andy Allo has never spoken about her relationship with Prince. At the time of his passing, she issued a beautiful tribute on her Facebook. As well, she was asked to speak on Prince's behalf when he was posthumously inducted into the Apollo Walk of Fame, which, by the way, speaks volumes. That is the totality of public comments AA has made about P, other than doing throwback posts on her FB and Instagram.

Thank you, FamousA!!! Andy's got CHOPS!! And, Prince, with his eye for talent, saw that, along with her world-class beauty, of course. Perhaps that's why he poured himself into her, spending hours teaching her the guitar, which she had only been playing for 2-3 years when they met. Thus, you make an excellent point that she is one of the artists who will "help us over the loss of himself."

.

I also think you are right to note the significance of P's November surprise when he held the 12-hour Oui Can Luv stream on TIDAL and announced his European tour to coincide with hers. It would have been wonderful if they had been able to do after shows together during their respective European shows. Seeing them perform some of their duets, both from Art Official Age and Oui Can Luv, would have been epic. It's clear that is what Prince desperately wanted, but, alas, it was not meant to be. Some may try to deny it, but P and AA were emotionally involved, from the time they met, almost immediately, until the day Prince transitioned.

.

BTW: I love her Music Mondays, too. If the one this week is any indication, the album that she is presently working on is going to be something really special. I would be surprised if she didn't dedicate it to Prince.

.

Finally, I agree that Andy has been overlooked among Prince proteges...and among his "great loves." I, too, am glad that the org is correcting that with this thread documenting their historic and prolific collaboration.
