I find it funny that all these 3rd eye girl haters are boys. That band may not be his best ever, but they are tight, beautiful, and very talented. But most importantly, Prince likes them, and we all know he keeps a tight band. Stop the hate!

I'm a boy and I love 3rdeyegirl. and that's true it does seem that way

Keep on, PurpleSkipper, and enjoy the music.

I really don't think most people are making sexist judgments about 3EG. Most people worship Wendy and Lisa, Sheila E, Rosie, tons of others.

Well, "woship" might be a strong word, but, point well made.

I apologize if i diverted this topic to a different direction, but I haven't seen Prince in 10 years, and I came to this site because his best fans are (were) here, and they give the most honest and precise reviews. What I didn't expect was to find was racial undertones here. I was a member of Prince.org in the late 1990's to the mid 2000's and not once had I read racial remarks towards Prince. I have returned because he started his HIT & RUN Tour in my hometown which I was not able to attend because I don't live there anymore and for other reasons. Now I am waiting patiently for the next tour date. I was very shocked and saddened to see these types of comments, because I am a black woman who happens to whole heartedly adore every single thing about Prince, and these comments are possible a result of a dislike for his current "afro." It is amazing, how one little thing about someone's physical charcterisitic can reveal how a person truly feels about other races. And on that note, WHERE ARE THE REVIEWS!!!? I am having Prince withdrawals and I haven't tasted the water yet!

yeah, it is kinda sad about the racist stuff but so far, from what I can tell most of them are black (because they admit they are, for some reason)..........and considering there are more way more white orgers on this site than black, it is a very low percentage of them that post here.............but I think they post a lot maybe trying to find some sense of unity here among other black orgers (maybe they have no other black friends??)............you would think this site would be better than that but sadly, just like Prince's new music........the best days are no more (and please don't ask for specific names because if I mention them they will try to get me banned or temporarily removed)

OK....I've been following this thread since it started as I was excited about the start of the US leg of the tour. I am absolutely fed up of this ongoin bitchin that has nothing to do the tour or Prince. I have read all of the posts and I'm sorry SummerRain but I think you have misinterpreted what Peedub said. Yet, even if you are right, the thread is going nowhere constructive. Please, both of you, just agree to disagree and lets discuss the man and the music. Hell, I'd even rather discuss the sampler sets. Honestly, I've never met a racist Prince fan in my life. I think its one of the true qualities that he brings - that he appeals to all colours - and long may that quality live on.

AGREED!

There has been no racism, or sexism for that matter, on this thread. Unwarranted accusations of such diminish actual racism & sexism as we all get desensitized to said accusations and eventually they will hold little weight. "Isms" are ugly and no one on this site would tolerate them. We shouldn't tolerate unwarranted, baseless accusations either.

Presumably this is just a misunderstanding. There's no reason we can't drop it and move on.

I'm so racist that I paid $200 to see Prince - a black man - play for 2 hours

As like you, i read this thread to find out about the reviews about the new Prince tour, and I only renewed my membership here because i plan on attending a few concerts and the reveiws here were of the best but unfortunately not anymore. I apologized before about diverting the topic, but i don't like to read anything racially negative about Prince or for anyone to refer to anything about him or anyone of color using racial undertones, it's not funny. We have aged since 10 years ago, and I thought our maturity level had too. I was wrong, but the more I read the responses, on this thread, the more I feel out of place. I shouldn't be here. I don't feel Prince's presence anymore. So have at it...... This is you all's playground. Good luck!!!

Would this be an awkward time to ask whether Prince has ever written any songs that were actually meaningful like Imagine or What's Going On?

Hello!

Sign 'O' The Times", Purple Rain", "Cinnamon Girl", 1999, Pop Life,Question of U, Gold,Act Of God Etc. Eye can go on & on....

Peedub - in the nicest possible way, you're now being deliberately provocative - leave it.

SummerRain - I hope you get to see Prince and 3EG. Please don't let this put you off the org. I look forward to hearing your review when he plays a town near you. Peace.
