Here’s a Thought.......

I think we all worry to much about Prince. Worry ourselves 2 much over nothing.

Let’s face it, rather we agree with it or not Prince is doing exactly what he wants to do.

We might not understand at all times, maybe it wasn’t meant for us to understand,

But he is a man standing on his own two feet who can make up his own mind and he’s doing exactly what he chooses to do in life .

It’s so easy to judge and ridicule when we haven’t really lived in his shoes.

Do you really expect Prince to still be doing the splits at his age ?

Do you really expect Prince to be screaming in his lyrics at his age ?

Do you really expect Prince 2 be still singing about the same ol’ crazy sex themes , in his music at his age?

Basically Prince grew up … He trying to get to the next level … even if that means leaving some of your fans behind (old friends 4 sale)

Prince maybe a celebrity in all but when it really comes down 2 it, he is gonna have to live for himself and answer to his creator. Sometimes I think we as the fans may forget that.

It’s hard to look at Prince and think his a normal human being just like we are , who has feelings

Either way it goes Prince still hold up pretty gracefully , because if some of you guys were my fans I would say to hell with you lol.

In my eyes Prince is the only musician out there who’s still changing, innovating , evolving all while trying to find a deeper meaning in life.

You can’t knock a person down 4 the journey they choose 2 follow, it’s just not right.

Truth of the matter is , I don't care 2 much for the new stuff true indeed, but you know I'm not gonna just throw my hands , throw the towel or whatever you want to call it, just because I don't like what Prince is doing right now.

He has 2 live his own life , y'all just gotta know that..

Come on people, really, listen 2 yourself sometimes neutral

Prince maybe his royal badness, but overall …. The whole point of this thread he is just human who make mistakes like we do, recognize .

royalbadness edit

You cannot be serious, that is a very judging statement from a person who does not want us to judge Prince hmm

How so ? I'm not just speakin' musically. It's easy 2 see Prince is more on a maturity level, you can hear it in is his music. He's not talking about the same thing the average R&B/ Rock musician is, in fact, he's not even talking about the same thing he was 20 yrs ago, therefore he's still evovling, innovating, growing and changing. If you are a Artist you have to.


You just want to argue me with something , don't you ? :Lol:

I agree that Prince has changed a lot in the last years (hey we all change constantly), if it was for the better is another question (IMO it was not sad and I won't go into detail as I don't want to argue lol lol).
But the point I was making is that there are many other artists out there who are developping as musiciancs as well as are mature, growing people. Like you said, if you are an artist, you have to. So do you think Prince is the only artist???

well no, but he is one of the few we have left. Music is becoming very much manufactored these days and it's not so much cuz of the artist, but the record companies who produce the artist. nod

Yo ... I agree with everything you are saying ...

But ...


As a 50th birthday present for my Mom I got her 7th row (which is the best you can do at the Civic Center without knowing someone at the local radio station or winning a contest. I had seen Prince maybe 10 times live before and his music is a staple in my diet but to see him that close was on another level. I say all of this because this was just 2 years ago and for the record ... and I know the the jury will validate ...

(excuse me ... I am listening to 'I HATE YOU' right now.)

The 40 year old man can still rock a show (HIP-HOP) better than any new jack M-F that you can name. I challenge any of you to name a M-f that can the stage like Prince. Obviously MJ can't do it anymore although I like his new music.

In anycase (this is why the other user said that this site was addictive ... because it is) We LOVERS of Prince can go on and on about his music and how it relates to and affects our lives.

Peace

I am totally with you that the music industry is not appreciating real artists these days and that most people who are in the charts are just commercial pop stars, but no real artists. But of course there are great musicians besides Prince, cool that you finally agree on that lol lol

hug If you go to the NPGMC forums you definitely won't be dissappointed there, there's nothing but praise going on for the man there (thanks to censorship and the "fams" and that's making me sad cry). Here on the other hand freedom of speech is allowed, so people will write positive and negative things about Prince and most of the negative stuff written here is his own damn fault IMO lol

Understandable, DL. But Prince can take it. Universally speaking, he wins in the long run. Just keep admiring the man, if that's how you feel. No need to put the mockers down. It will possibly only make it worse!

And remember, don't cry unless you're happy biggrin Don't smile unless you're blue...

Actually in 1997, when David Bowie turned 50, he rocked the house with fresh new music.

But Bowie is tha rare person that can adapt and make something fresh and exciting EVERY time. Prince is good, but he's no Bowie.

Folk
Rock
Jazz
Hard Rock
Industrial
R&B
Pop
Ambient
Techno
Drum & Bass

All done exceptionally well by Bowie.

I don't think it's neccessarily an age issue...like you said...he's gonna do what he wants to do...and now he's chosen to evolve at this time regardless of age.
