now that's a website.

www.sting.com

and here is Sting himself promoting iTunes:

www.sting.com/newspress/l...index.html

get a clue Prince and just chill.

NPGMC makes the words "The earth is flat" come 2 life tho, and that's gotta count 4 something.

The site suits Sting ... It's boring!


I'm a satified costumer of NPGMC! Stop nagging about the site...



Peace, newdawn

it's a great site. it has a load of information and it's easy to use. plus you can tell he wants to involve his fans. he's not trying to play the mystery man or any of that bullshit. nor is he trying big himself up.
well done Sting.

Moby keeps a daily online weblog at www.moby.com

David Bowie has regular chats with his fans (useta, anyway...not so sure if he still does) and keeps an online diary (often featuring his own photography!) at www.davidbowie.com

Hell, even Courtney Love is active in the message boards at www.hole.com

I love how the Internet has changed how pop stars can interact with their audiences.

Injoy the Sting site!

"pears to apples"? please that NPGMC website is so uncool it's warm. don't get me wrong - within all this dissatisfaction i do believe Prince is going to come thru with a mail out or some kind of perk sooner or later, but for now it is just lame. that website is lame. there's nothing to it and it is not in anyway inclusive. if he's so into the truth and letting peeps know the "truth" he wouldn't be charging just to get in. i'm talking about inclusivity. that's what we need nowadays. it's typical. he is skint so he's gonna fleece anyway he can.
i ain't yellin' at ya. i love ya and all...but that webiste is lame.
Sting has come up with a very good idea. obviously he has let "OTHER" people come up with ideas and not be so damn bossy and dictate like what Prince most certainly does.
the book Possessed (yes i bought it) talks about how Prince expected everyone at WB to their jobs and promote his music and he decided all the time to stay out of promotion. well it seems it's not the case here. he is obviously in charge and not doing a good job of it.

Very good arguement!!!


Don't wanna do harm, but I really think there is no point comparing eachothers website. (And definitely not Stings site!)

peace to you, newdawn

Lets face it - since the birth of NPGMC Prince has just become a big arse!!! The trouble is that NPGMC is a direct link between him and us...now thats great...in theory!!!

Unfortunately what it really means is Prince can,if he choses give us what HE THINKS his fans want...sometiems hes right sometiems hes not. The only problem with that is Prince can only do as good as he knows -if all he knows is religion and songs about slavery...then thats all we'll know.

Unfortunately cutting out the middle man had cut out the guidance

sorry but i'm going to compare websites becuz i can. my point in creating this thread is that sting has included a lot of info about himself but obviously not in a mass egotistical way. he has included sooo much info that the NPGMC pales in comparison. he is about inclusion. a lot of ppl piss on Sting becuz of whatever reason but he has stood the test of time and is one of the best songwriters ever. in my view he has only one dud album and that was the last album.

Prince on the other hand, as much as we love him, has created a couple of dud albums (maybe a few) and has excluded a lot of his fans in the process time and time again. every major event in Prince's career has been a mess which makes ppl wonder if he even has any thing to say. if you are gonna piss off a lot of ppl then maybe you don't deserve your fans which is what Prince has done. the NPGMC is nothing but a conversion ploy. in other words, my way or the high way.
just a question:
if Sting is so naff, then why do so many ppl think is Prince naff as well? hmmm?
