We're U at the Tavis Smiley benefit unveiling of the Lotuflow3r site? was there & remember the site being different there also...

Yeah that was the gig. At the Conga Room. Great show. I remember him opening with Dreamer before anyone had ever heard of it. Seeing Kornell West on stage dancing with Jesse Jackson was off the chain. I remember one of the features of the site was you could point to different rooms & Prince would walk into each one of them & different videos were played depending on which room you were in. It looked really slick.

It was Cornell West, Tavis, and Michael Eric Dyson..lawd I hope that was filmed

I was in the middle..and wondering why oh why cant this portion be released to the public..it was so fucking surreal (and Im not exagerrating with the word surreal because this was one of the times when surreal is a perfect word to explain an event)

-

Beautiful! I REALLY needed something like this today! Now, all I need is another concert.....Feb 2011 (@MSG NYC) he said he'd be back! I'm still waiting.....patiently.....this'll hold me.....for a bit

OH MY FUCKING GOD

This screwdriver song reminds me of Vavoom. Same kind of vibe, not necessarily the composition of it.

Yea! Who knew Cornell West could get down like that? He was tearing that dance floor up. It was hilarious watching Tavis & Jesse dance to. They we're partying up. Yea! we witnessed the first debut of the "Dreamer".It was a special night 4 a good benefit.

don't understand why they changed the site. was amazed playing with it. That whole "LotusFlow3r" xperience it had 2 b something going on behind the scenes that pissed Prince off. He just abandoned it. Anywho just like U said I don't have any complaints. It entitled me to witness Prince's 3 shows in one night extravaganza & a Tonight Show appearance...

But that is the past(which Prince doesn't live in). This is about

'20pr1nc3.com'

Did you go to all 3 shows that night? I did but had to rely on a miracle to get into The Conga Room. I keep hoping a video of that one surfaces, you listening P?

Only the first and the last one. Couldn't get the "Conga Room" ones

The name alone implies the site will be around for no more than 11 months.

I won't pay a dime for membership. Twice bitten.

I'm reserving judgement for now, but this is kind of underwhelming.

I certainly hope it's not exclusively a video site. I would love to download the new song, but I have no desire to watch a streaming video of the lyrics over and over again.

A "launch" (though I don't know if there was any official lauch--how did anyone even hear about this?) might have been better served to have a little more inventory. You would not open a store with one item, would you?

But again, I will wait and see. So far I have paid nothing and received nothing.

I bet you if he printed a limited edition CD of 25,000 copies of a new CD and had a site where you could buy a digital copy for $15 or a physical copy of $30, the physical copies would sell out.... AND go up in value on the secondary market.

Wow. You totally made my point for me. Thanks, but I suspect that wasn't your intention. Yeah, the limited editions would sell out. So everyone else would buy bootlegs or download rips that he would make ZERO money from. OR, play the game, release on a recognised iMusic forum for a fair price and we can all pay and play. Seriously, "Limited Editions". What the F*ck? This isn't the cash-grabbing 90s. We all know "Limited Editions" are only ever "Limited" to the quantity the supplier thinks they can shift. Thus any fence-sitters invest early rather than risk missing out. In your model, if they're "Limiting" the supply to 25,000 copies they probably estimated a user base of 23,500, burning the excess for the secondary market and dumb-ass speculators. A MUCH better model is that which Apple sporadically employs. Encouraging early adoption by providing bonus tracks for pre-order customers that are then delisted when the album is eventually released. Imagine a single with an exclusive B-side that you only get if you buy the single BEFORE it's released. I'd be in early doors EVERY time. So would we all.

I didn't make the point that "Physical is dead". In fact, I made the point that some of us would rather pay double for physical than to pay for digital. A digital album is worth a couple bucks, tops. Physical copies are worth whatever the market will bear. For me, that'd be about $30 bucks max.

I would like a physical CD and I would be willing to pay $16.00 tops for a single album and $30.00 for a double--of Prince only. Downloads--I would pay a lot less for.

ohhhhh help me lawrd!!!! how is a girl suppose to work with all this excitement!!! dvd please please please !!! i cant breath somebody help me!

So do you think he found his new Wendy & Lisa ?....no new album sucks.

Don't believe the hype then U wont get screwed

That's what I'm thinking...although Wendy and Lisa are irreplaceable IMO. Love Hannah's personality and Donna definitely seems to have Wendy's attitude and look but Hannah's definitely the star of this group.

*begins shrieking like a little girl*

I thought he said that the internet was dead. Sorry I just don't like the dinosaur sounding screwdriver. Doesn't this guy know what progressive, modern or alt rock is?

Thank God! Prince has finally got it. Good promotion through the internet that is.

I really like Screw Driver. It's fun, but I'm hoping for some of the synth and drum machine stuff too.
