here's what would be perfect

this website could be simply perfect if they would add a different
page or section for each and every album he's released.

post general album info but flesh it out with pictures from that
era, including unseen artwork etc.

quotes or annecdotes from prince about the songs on the albums as
well as perhaps some input from old band members.

then post a couple of live clips from tours that accompanied that
particular album or tv appearances, interviews and promo videos,
including videos he made that were never released/unseen by us.

imagine going to the "sphere" and clicking on an album cover, then
being transported to a new page where that album is featured in a
way similar to what i've described.

that alone would be worth the admission fee for me personally.

now, if he would add some outtakes from each album or a few live
cuts to each album's page, that would make it even more thrilling.

THAT would be an amazing site and experience.

i was expecting it would certainly happen for LotusFlower as a cd,
thinking he would put up all the tv appearances, tavis, ellen, jay.
alas, nothing yet.
and true love lives on lollipops and crisps

and sadly, ppl would pay it.

this looked like a great vehicle, everyone was so excited.

i was bummed cause i couldnt join at the time due to internet access problems.

i still want to join- but im waiting 4 some action....

i wonder if ppl who have already signed up will get an extention on their membership time....by the looks of it-they should.

so many artists are available at the click of a mouse...and for free.

Prince has a ready made/loyal base who have stayed with him throughout everything he dishes at them. for their $77 fee ud think they would get a little more love.

there was more on 3121 and it was for free disbelief

lol-i first joined via my local library as my old pc wasn't up to the 'site'-i guess i did need a new one-so i did find a decent deal-and got a new pc-and i hadn't seen most of the newer vids-BUT-once youve seen them once-what then-once i downloaded the albums-with no artwork.once i realise-i cant even download any vids...the t-shirt FIASCO.silence from official circles-'celebrities' and such supposedly having got their tee's a long time ago-and we-the fools that paid-still waiting.....so i really really wish i'd saved my money-even worse-i'll admit i did look for the torrnets-porbablty too early so i joined as i couldn't wait to hear the stuff-thyen the same day-a few hours later-all 3 torrents were up lol-sods law-ive always been impatient

BUT to sum up-i think its a wasted opportunity and seems to be no more than 'home' for the latest release-and since its pretty obvious now theres no upcoming tour-its kind of a dead place for most folks

prince still attracts new fans-and they should be able to see the man "back in the day" if they want to. i think (probably) thats why many signed up.

hey,i dont have access to cable music shows- so the only vids i get to watch are the ones i have purchased over the years- legal ones from wrecka stows.

and as for his tv apperances- i live in australia- i think the last one i got to see was the superbowl shrug

yes, i will join, but when i know that some of this stuff will be available on his site.

well-until you can download the vids-they're a bit pointless.....you can only watch them-and believe me-a five min vid takes about 15-20 mins with the constant buffering. its a nightmare-id advise find the vids elsewhere cuz they aint a reason to join

Cool idea, IstenZek. Strange that Prince didn't go there.
Obsolete for an artist like him? Hmm, I don't think so.

I would have added full length concerts, 'cause that's something I really long for and I know I'm not alone.
Unreleased music from the past, that's fine. But live video material, bring it on!
