Wendy and Lisa (i thought Wendy is half jewish because of her mom and also Lisa is half latina because of her mom too) could be black and also I still feel the same about their albums. If the musician has the good sound and yes sometimes voice then that what counts not the race because good music has no color.

Back to Jill. I felt that Prince screwed her big time and yet he focus his energy and time on other chicks because of their looks not talented. Not only that he or his company didnt properly promote her, but he gave her a small role on Graffiti Bridge, and that because she was under contract with him she didn't able to explore other opportinutes. I have to hand to Jill for being patient and also subtle of putting up with Prince when comes to business side. I am glad that she finally woke up around the Graffiti Bridge era and finally realized who Prince really was and she no longer have to put up with his crap.

Now I heard that Prince is starting making up people in the past like Dez, Wendy, and others and I hope that he could able to reach out to Jill and tell her how sorry he was and that he couldn't change the past of how he mistreated her but at least that he could able to focus on the present and future. A lot of people want a Prince and W&L reunion which that is their Kool Aid but I personally preferred want a Prince and Jill duet.

Jill has a great voice and also I wished that Rick James took her on instead of Prince and even though I like Prince and his music I felt that he improperly market her well actually Paisley Park. I felt that if she was under Rick's wing, since after all he worked with Jill's "older sister" Teena Marie, she would been well-known than she already had. She got the look and the voice too and she was very young at that time. It furious me sometimes that Prince had this potential star here but just didn't focus on her until it was too late but yet he managed to put his energy on talentless musicians. Too bad.

As for Wendy and Lisa they are talented of what they do best as composers and instrumentalists but I just couldn't get into their albums. However when comes to listening to who sings better I preferred Lisa over Wendy. It just too bad that Lisa was too shy to participated in more leading vocals at that time. Also speaking of them I agreed that they are too overated in my opinion and also isn't funny that the Prince albums that I like they have little or no input. And if Prince ever have a reunion and he obivious going to try to invite them, I hope that he going to invited Andre and Dez as well because they were my favorite bandmembers.

No! Jill is incredible! You are trippin and slippin. Don't talk about Ms. Jill. Listen to the whole record then talk talk something ok!Talk about what u know. Talk about what u know!

You should hear the whole record before saying she cant sing. But like I said before listen to Violet Blue.

Well, if we MUST bring race into this, Jill is half black. This I know from Andre Cymone, who I know personally and has worked with. Second, J.J. has always gotten much respect from the black folks that I know. The same black folks that give it up to Teena, gives it up to Jill. I see where u are coming from with the white folks digging Wendy and Lisa, but, Jill doesn't fall into the camp, from what I see.

Don't even try to put Jill's yelping ass into the same category w/ the amazing Teena Marie

Too late. I already did, babygirl!

blackguitaristz said:

Dig, am I saying Jill can blow just as hard as my girl Teena? Hell nah. Teena is on a higher plain, all around. What I'm saying is that the black folks that I know who digs Teena, ALSO digs Jill.

blackguitaristz said:

I don't know about BG Baby. I'm sorry about Teena is far superior vocalist than Jill hands down and there's no question about it. I guess we'll have to agree to disagree. Oh well, there's also a first time for everything huh.

Hotlegs said:

Is ANYBODY truly reading this? I NEVER SAID THAT JILL IS ON THE SAME LEVEL AS TEENA. I KNOW JILL CAN"T HOLD A CANDLE TO TEENA. TEENA IS THE SHIT! I said that, for the last time, THE BLACK FOLKS THAT I KNOW WHO DIGS TEENA ALSO DIGS JILL. Doesn't have anything to do with Jill being as good as TEENA. I know she isn't, never thought that she was, and she never will be. BUT, I still think J.J. can sang!

blackguitaristz said:

Whew!!

blackguitaristz said:

Nah, I think silly Prince fans like Jill Has nothing to do w/ liking Teena IMO

blackguitaristz said:

Calm down baby. Oeew, you know that's a turn on when you get excited. You better stop trying to get me in trouble you naughty axe man.

Hotlegs said:

Just come and I'll fix it.

CalhounSq said:

Cal, listen. How in the world can folks be silly for diggin' J.J. who was ALL OVER one of P's greatest albums, 1999? Who was an essential part of his videos during this period and his break through film, Purple Rain? Cal, I think u need to come to the Z Cult Castle. There, u and I can talk!

so i just listened to mia bocca, didn't even listen to it all..she sounds horrible...this is the girl that yall give so much prasie to and i finally hear it and its like DAMN whatthehell were they talking about? whats about w/ all the jill hype?

Which in my opinion, all of P's early female acts, were all about a female version of himself.

prodigalfan said:

Now people say this, but I think it may only be true in the asthetic sense. A female version of Prince would want to play all the music on her album herself and wouldn't want him telling her how she sounds. Someone like Patrice Rushen, Jane Child or MeShell are much closer to than than ANY of the artists Prince produced.

blackguitaristz said:

Man, the bitch sounds like she's wailing in her sleep, having a nightmare

BlaqueKnight said:

BK Baby, I agree with the point you've made about Patrice and Meshell. However, I disagree totally with your inclusion of Jane Child based on her track record. When you look at the track record of both Patrice and Meshell, there's no way I would even group her with them based on their experience, logevity, and success in the bussness.
