Anna Garcia does not belong on that list because there is no album or single that was written by Prince. Her "career" took off a bit later.

Other than that, talentwise, I´d have to say Carmen Electra.Though she is really the most successful of that bunch, as Pandurito already said. The music was not really my cup of tea.
Mayte´s album on the other hand gets a lot of flack around here but it´s actually pretty good.

Ain´t No Place Like U
However Much U Want
If I Luv U 2nite

These are pretty good songs, regardless of her thin voice. The songs were not bad.

Jill Jones´ album was excellent, IMO. It came out waaaay too late and should have been released while the Purple Rain mania was still strong but 1987 was way to late. Good album, though, except for the shrieking on many songs.

I liked the stuff he did with Nona Gaye. a 1000 Hugs and Kisses is a very nice song that I still like a lot.

From a musical point of view: CARMEN

Mayte comes close, but at least her dancing added lots of energy to Prince's live shows

Carmen Electra was absolutlely good for nothing. She couldn't make music because she couldn't sing, she couldn't make movies because she couldn't act, she's no good in the bedroom because she's a woman and not a man....Hell, just what good is that bitch for anyway. lol

Tamar and Jill belong with Rosie Gaines and Boni Boyer.

As for the others I agree with you. I wish brotha P could enjoy his companions without subjecting the rest of us to them. disbelief

Manuela was not a protogeé. Why is her name up there? Name one song she did? Didn't Prince work on some songs with Kim Bassinger? I remember hearing them. I'd put Kim in the running but she is not technically a protogeé. Anna Fantastic didn't do any songs with Prince (that we know of), she just f*cked him. Nona Gaye...Marvin's daughter...a Prince protogeé? She did a few songs with Prince but it ain't like she never recorded before Prince. She had 2 or 3 albums before she did "Love Sign" and "100 H & K". That's like calling Sheena Easton a Prince protogeé.
Carmen stands out as particularly bad. Ingrid as an artist also fell far short of impressive as well.

Mani was the man's wife; not his protege. There is a big, big difference.

Carmen Elektra was probably the most worthless out of all of them. She's basically a glorified stripper.

Sheena is not xclusively Prince, she became a star on a British talent TV show in 1980 and her first hit was 9 to 5 (Morning train), her career was pretty much over by the time Prince came along and revived it with Sugar Walls. She was Scottish and apparently part Asian

Sheena Easton already was a UK tv star, reached international pop status (albeit short lived) and was a Grammy award winner BEFORE working with Prince. She was already a celebrity, so she doesn't count.

Arguably we could take Nona and Robin off that list too. Both did pretty good acting and Robin is a talented artist.

I saw the paintings on the other thread! Niiiice nod!

In Sheena's case though, I was speaking really specifically in that having had a career beforehand (the tv stardom, the grammy nod, being a coveted Bond Theme artist beforehand) I never saw her as a protege, because she had long forged a recognized artist identity before Old Dude came along. I've heard that Nona recorded music before she hooked up with him as well. I wish I had a chace to hear it. I never heard anyting from her before she showed up during the "Gold" era to cover one of her dad's tunes, and then the "Lovesign" song, which I was shaking my butt to like crazy cool

(as I go to look in my music pile to see if I still have that song to shake to lurking)

lol

Appolonia, thought I wouldn't call her a bimbo. She had nothing much to offer but her (amazing) looks.

That's true about Sheena...I think she even resisted having the protege label attached to her.

I never cared enough for Nona's singing to seek out more of her recordings but I do think she's a good actress.

I think they belong on that list. Now Sheena, she had a respectable career in entertainment before Prince. But Nona's acting? Robin's acting? I gotta quite strongly disagree on that. As far as Robin's art, I'll just say to each his own. I personally think it's not good at all.

Is it possible that someone's looks can be so incredible that it becomes blasphemous to call them a bimbo? If so, then Appolonia is not a bimbo.

Carmen, Mayte, and Vanity on the other hand. Bimbos to the core.
