... or maybe they just want something resembling a real website, along with all that other stuff promised for "January 2009", and not a flash demo.

He clearly has more things he is adding to it. Geez no one in here would win prizes for Patience would they....no one compalins about waiting for the second coming as much as this lol


Well, I know the second coming isn't happening, so I haven't actually been sitting around waiting. wink

However, back to the topic at hand. This really has nothing to do with patience. The site was advertised as going live in January and the very strong implication was that you would be able to WATCH, LISTEN, BUY, etc... January is now over and the site hasn't really opened. They've more or less just changed the music player. shrug

I know Prince has screwed up just about every online initiative he's had, but in this day and age there is really no excuse. Plenty of artists with far less money have no trouble managing to have a website in a timely manner. It really shouldn't take a month+.

...and if there are other issues that have delayed things, then a notice of that fact wouldn't hurt anybody.

I personally think Prince 'overplayed his hand' a bit with the words 'Coming to you January 2009' and 'a new galaxy awaits'.

The fact that we now 'just' have some samples of new songs and a new 'ticket' tells me, that he probably didnt succeed in letting things starting to roll at the time he hoped for. That means:
- Reaching agreements with some big retailers to sell his new albums
- Getting the website functioning as it should be (with what it more or less 'promised').

In that sense it 'fits in' the very clumsily way he seems to be promoting himself since he left Warner: promising new material that never gets released, starting a website that seems promising at first, and then turns black suddenly, releasing new albums without proper single releases, etc.

Anyone who tells me Prince is a 'smart businessman' is fooling himself. Sure, he might be free to do what he chooses, but the way he has promoted his music since he left Warner is at least very incohesive and bordering on the amateuristic.

We die-hard fams seem to get used to it, but you have any idea how it appears to the people who are just casually interested in him?


I'd rather he wait and get something right, than rush to meet timelines that for whatever reason had to get pushed back.

Anyone who manages large projects knows that even the most stringent projects can't always accurately forsee extraneous variables that could affect timelines. Those who don't tend to make underestimation errors in this area generally have gone to school and have advanced degrees for Project/Product Management. The simultaneous issue of advertising timelines that can't be assured, I can say with full confidence that this is as something that people will business educations still do. But from this Lotus Flower perpective, no one can say for sure who promised what from the team working on these things.

Some people on here have the impression Prince is running around micro-managing each and every thing he's associated with or contracts out (not saying u specifically). Which is ridiculous.

My post " Prince is offically crap...at management"...was locked ( nice to see the Mods doin' their job... confused )

What made me laugh was all the insulting hysterical comments from the fams saying I should be patient, get a life...the usual "orgfam" insults.

Well apparently there are a lot of "normal" P fans who agree that the site is shite and Prince needs a reality check.

Luv 2 all!! biggrin

After listening to songs from MPLSound and certain ones from Lotus Flower, I have to say I'm impressed - Prince is BACK! (altho he'd slap me on the 1 and say "I never left...") ha ha ha...It's not so much that Prince is back, as much as the "Prince brand." I also like the website soundtrack music...

I think the tv screen is more of an insight of what to expect once Lotusflow3r is fully open.The landcape kind of reminds me of walking through the corridors of the NPG Music Club. So we shall an see.
The clip also reminds me of the film Barbarella 4 some strange reason
biggrin

I don't understand the negative attitude. Well, I do in a way, but I was positively surprised. I expected something a bit more sofisticated than the 3121 site, but just getting a normal website with photos, music and news isn't as exciting and creative to me as these teasers. I love interactive sites and I think this one is already a hit for me. Well done and two thumbs up!

I can understand those who are dissappointed to this point. I mean its just more Prince being late or not keeping schedules. If he's gonna say by the end of Jan. it should be by the end of Jan or otherwise just put up by the end of 2009. I guess as Prince fans we should expect it by now but that does not excuse it.
"Why'd I waste my kisses on you baby?" R.I.P. Prince You've finally found your way back home. Well Done.

True, I just don't feel like something like this is the whole world and that there are more important things really.. even if it doesn't always feel like it. lol

Agreed 10000%. Sometimes I feel like I am the only one that appreciates what Prince does for us. And if those other people don't appreciate then why do they still listen to this man? Better yet, why are they STILL on this site? Thanks for pointing that out, man.

Kudos 2 U Lezama!

I 'm on the phone with Purplecam and I was just saying the same thing. If Prince had opened the completed version of his site yesterday, with a whole bunch of new music and concert tickets to buy, there would still be people here spewing their hate.

If I may add to this discussion and to what Funkteer and I were discussing, you know full well that more people come out to P:M&M to dog Prince than they come to praise him. I remember how many people came to praise Prince on the Super Bowl and then how many came when PFU started. More came for PFU than for the Super Bowl. That's just what lots of Prince fans do around here. If I expect anything where Prince is concerned, I've come to expect fans to act silly and bizarre, Sad but true.
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
