the 18th dec is a good combination.. larry graham gets a hard time but he was seriously amazing in europe, very cool & great showman.

He isn't so awful I guess. He actually introduced himself to me at the D.C. ONA show. I had no idea who he was but he was nice to me.

The only reason people give Larry Graham a bad rap is because he introduced Prince to the Jehovah Witnesses.

Not true. His bass playing is kick ass, but his voice is horrid. Everyday People and I Wanna Take You Higher is guaranteed, I mean change it up a bit!

what happened to sly?

sorry, i beg to differ.

larry graham just sux... his music sounds so dated ... and moreover... its been done and done and done so many times... enough already...

the JW stuff just makes it worse.

AHH! So happy Janelle is playing at one of the shows I'm going 2!!

Me too. We'll get double the energy from her performance and Prince's.

Sheila E tweeted me back also. She was so nice.

**cue Larry Graham haters indeed**

SOOOOOOO not feeling Larry Graham. I really have NO desire to sit thru that. I couldn't go on the 29th tho I'm on vacation then. I'd have killed to see Mint Condition... and possibly an aftershow??? I wanna cry.

Oh well. At least Sheila will be at my show... and I saw Sinbad's last comedy special earlier this year on Comedy Central, it was pretty funny. I'm okay with him too.

But Larry Graham???? Really???? REALLLLLLYYYYY????? UGH.

But it's Prince... and I love him... and with Sheila there they may do some old songs he hasn't done live in a while. And maybe there will be A Love Bizarre. So that's a nice trade off. Just looking on the bright side!

it would be cool if sheila did songs like koo koo, wednesday like a river, toy box instead of the usual glamorous life and a love bizarre cause they have been doing those same songs 4 years! hell prince does it even if sheila isn't around like he did during the european dates this year alone.

as 4 larry, it would GREAT if he stuck 2 the GCS Material instead of the sly!!

(Bolded part) Yes, but can you please a NY audience with that voice is the question.(j/k)

Anyway, different strokes for different folks. Janelle is no stranger to NYC. She's been performing here several times over the past 2-3 years, and has been well receivedl. Besides, like Prince stated on WBLS, he'll be jamming with his special guests during their appearances. I'm quite sure many New Yorkers at MSG will appreciate Janelle's performance.

[Edited 12/11/10 14:33pm]

Janelle is an amazing singer and performer, I think the people that do not know much about her will be walking away from this show a fan of hers.

nah i'd rather have mint condition and victor wooten

yep!! instead of hearing larry's bass playing which is funky as all hell!!

but i wanna hear love bizarre !

Right now I am feeling very depressed. Had I known Larry Graham was going to be at the show I am going to I would have definitely payed more $ for better seats. I wish Prince would have disclosed this information earlier so I could have taken advantage of the situation. At least I am going to see Larry and that in itself is a very special thing. Who else is all excited about Larry G?

can i ask how long u have been a fan?

Wow, the people I really wanted to see (Janelle, Esperanza, Lalah, and Mint) are scheduled for other shows. At least I'll get to see Sheila E. I guess Maceo isn't bad either. I am not that familiar with Cassandra Wilson, but her music sounds pretty good. However, I am still trying to wrap my mind around Sinbad...

yeah i got tons of dvds but i wanna be there in the same room. so different

Look, the Sesame Street crew could be the opening act and I wouldn't care, as long as Prince is there, it's all gravy for me. I'm happy to see the opening acts but Prince is the main course for me so I'm happy!

Ill be at the Dec. 18th show at MSG. Really rather much see Esperanza and Janelle than Larry Graham not a big or even a small fan of his.

You are so right. As long as Prince is the main event, who cares. I don't particularly care for some of the opening acts on the dates I'm attending, but I wouldn't be flying across the country for the acts I would have liked to see either. I'm travelling for Prince!
