Even though I do not always think he does everything the correct way, it is not for ME to decide...nor does it bother me. Why should he do things like other artists? He's PRINCE...The Best, IMO Even though I wish there woulda been some new jams to purchase, it is cool with me that we got some new jams to listen to, and I am even more excited about the new albums. I cannot wait to get my hands on them!! -you ain't funky at all, you just a little ol' prude! | |

the one thing i don't understand about the "big unveiling party" was the thing about the three purple ticket winners. how could there be ticket winners if there was no contest announced? why not just call them "hand picked guests"? no shame in that. it's not the end of the world...just weird. | |

Besides, some people are gluttons for punishment. They must love the pain cause they keep coming back for more all the time. I say if Prince is so bad, I hope Prince keeps on punishing folks for a long time to come.  [Edited 2/1/09 9:50am] I'm not a fan of "old Prince". I'm not a fan of "new Prince". I'm just a fan of Prince. Simple as that | |

[Edited 2/1/09 2:45am] Yeah, it's pretty funny how worked up people are over this. Hell yes, I've been looking forward to it also, but it's not like it's ruined my day that it isn't totally up. SOMETHING is there, which is great news, because (hopefully) there will be more. | |

You know composing music, writing the lyrics and bringing it together is the most detail specific thing to do. It's like cooking the greatest meal ever for all the guests you ever wanted to invite into your life forever. Would you *yourself*; honestly, not want to offer the best you can to those you would like to have the best of?
I think it is honorable... even in my own item...I myself have changed my mind when I am going to release things; infact, I pushed something back that was going to be released last night myself for the sole purpose that I didn't feel that it was good enough to let it go presently. You can create what ever you want; however, IT IS highly admirable and loving to give the best and if it takes what ever amount of experience to get that then... so be it. This is his life, his love and his passion to which that degree of giving is moreso than just getting up, going to work and doing things just to get them done. If you really care about people then you want to offer up the best you can in any and all capacity. IF this was your life in creating music, experience and stories...would you not want the best for yourself to share same with others? Ask yourself, what do I do best and when I want people to enjoy the best - how much pressure do you apply to yourself at that very moment? Music is like making love... it all depends on how much you let loose and truly open yourself up to... in order to offer true love to another for it is the FREQUENCY OF ONE. With that being said... Have some compassion, patience and support - the wait is worth more than a king's randsom in gold. Take care, Respectfully QuiestSeven | |

And what's there...was it really worth the wait? If you think so, you're a little too easily satisfied. What do flowers do? "What do flowers do"... for you. Within the org community, people just don't have the patience or support in others when they them selves don't have the same in themselves. Frustration, ignorance, insecurity, hatred and ego all stem from FEAR...LOVE (THE ONE FREQUENCY) IS THE FREEDOM RESOLUTION. And flowers - they arrive when they wanna and enjoy the flavor of the sun rays all seven at a time in succession to the rain that flows on their bodies every live long day...and even the moon cozies them to sleep. They lend a hand to the butterflies that may need a rest when flying to their homes and many lands across the seas...to come home again. Take care and with respect, QuietSeven (SingMia) | |

If you will sit back and think about it (and not just you, others that feel this way as well)...Since Prince is not going with a record company to promote this new music, THIS is his promo tool... He is giving certain bits to create anticipation for the big release! Therefore, THIS is his promotion! Other artists promote their new albums 4 months or so before they hit the shelves...right?? Yes! We just began hearing about this when? I think the first we started hearing was December when he posted some jams to the live streaming radio show. So, we are now sitting on about 2 or so months... Think about it...it is HIS way of promoting!!!! Am I satisffied??? Yes! Do I wish I had music to download last night??? Yes!!! However, it is only because I love this man's music and I get very spoiled and want it as soon as possible! But, it will come. Sorry if last night did not "do it" for some of you that feel you must find fault. But Prince is doing things as he feels the need, and he is promoting!! I saw several people on another thread saying that he did not know how to promote and since he was/is not using a record company his sales would be crap due to lack of promotion. Guess what??? Here's the promotion! Just because a lot of us "thought" he would bring out new music last night, to the public, did not mean that was what he was going to do. He brought it out to the press, a chosen few. By doing this...THEY will begin to promote his music, right? We should begin to see articles about what went down last night, how the music sounded, how Prince sounded... This is promotion leading UP TO the music... Sit back, trust in one of the BEST musical artist of all time, and ENJOY! [Edited 2/1/09 11:40am] -you ain't funky at all, you just a little ol' prude! | |

Sunday 01 February 2009 You cannot the small man Minneapolis blame that he can look at no bell. In the night of Saturday on Sunday, exactly for 8:00 hour Dutch time, the new much-discussed Internet site opened Prince in loose Angeles lotus Flow3r. A large number of journalists was vannacht present in the cottage of the artist to the foot of MullHolland Drive in Hollywood Hills there attend launching which was decided with a uur-durend concert. On the smoky interactive Internet site is not to large frustration of many fans at present still much see more than an old television with teaser. However, can be put three cassettes of new Prince-songs (Colonized Mind, Discojellyfish and Another Boy) in ghettoblaster and listened to. Invitations for the lotus Flow3r-aftrap Saturday were delivered at journalists Steve Appleford van Rolling Stone; Benjamin Trott van Six separate one; Cat Corbett van KROQ; Danny Shea and Katherine Thomson, music and entertainment post editors of The Huffington; Emily McKay van NME and Edna Gunderson of USA Today. It is expected that all this Monday or something later these yielded the full album LotusFlow3r firstly by means of the Internet site will be brought out. The official launching on 1 February had been already planned months long but details were kept skilledically secret to build the tension. Prince will bring out three new albums where he for the first time in absolutely no manner, even for worldwide distribution, to plate societies be linked does not want be in 2009. The first release LotusFlow3r according to goed-ingevoerde sources jet-ear-passionate, and to Purple Rain-refererende, has generally become plate.

Tip: if the site doesn't open right or seems the same as before, a quick refresh worked for me. Obviously he wanted to preview the bottom half of the site as a tease. The top half or big part of the site will happen later.
I would venture to guess that he tapes that concert and puts in on the site later--hoping, at least. All you others say Hell Yea!!  | |

If you think about who the big site launching was for, it was for us. Nobody outside his hardcore fan base even know that this was going to happen. I've only seen once place other than here or HQ that anybody was even talking about the site or his music coming out soon. We are the ones keeping things going in between product.
We are the only ones that truly care or have an opinion about this new era of music coming out, so who did he really hurt, in the grand scheme of things? Just a comparably small group of diehard fans. No big deal, according to a big star like Prince. | |
