im not bagging her or saying shes not talented but im reallly not interested in listening 2 her C.D
i dont think i should b made 2 buy it in order 2 listen 2 Prince's new music
but of course i will, and Prince knows that

Good to know

tafnap said:

Look, you have a decent point. Even Prince fanatics have to agree that a 3-CD set sounds better when it all comes from the man...instead of some here today, gone tomorrow singer. It's actually NOT ABOUT how good she is. It's like...what's the point? Give us more Prince. This site 'aint called bria.org.

maybe prince can make a seperate package for you with just lotus flower
and mplsound for the price of two cd's, let's say $ 25,-

would that be better?

Get back to us when u make more sense

pald1 said:

what i'm saying is you get 3 cd's for the prince of one right now.

and still you're not satisfied.

the bria disc and mplsound basically come free with lotus flower.

so what reason is there to complain?

that's what i was asking. if you don't understand that, i can see
why you would also complain about a free cd.

And you couldn't have let us known in the Target/tracklist/whatever thread because...?

IstenSzek said:

No need to run away with yourself. There's no complaint here. Just a statement of the obvious. Can't you see that? Please tell me u can?

unbelievable that people still feel the need to complain that they're "made to buy" a cd they don't want when the total price of the htree cd's is this low. one new cd in the netherlands costs about 25 dollar, you get three for half of that money and you're complaining....

Freekclaassen said:

DUDE! There is NO complaint...but can we please be allowed to state the obvious!! If you had a choice between Prince and Bria for the 3rd CD which would u choose?

Acknowledge ME!

so because this site is called prince.org we shouldn't talk about the time, the revolution, the npg, sheila e, cat, mayte etc etc? i can c ur talking about having 2 get someone's cd that has NO affiliation 2 prince what so ever.

i'm actually thrilled that i'll have the chance 2 hear more of his songs cause u know he wrote the music and possibly a majority of the lyrics on bria's cd. so 2 each their own, but i'll b listening 2 her cd no doubt.

so let me guess also that if u saw prince in concert u would want prince 2 do the whole concert by himself and no band mates either?

whats this site being called Prince.org and not talking about other artist have 2 do with my point????

He's giving the damned thing away for 11.99 and your talking about being made to buy it? That's cheap for one CD. You're getting two Prince CDs and one Bria CD thrown in, produced and written by Prince. What is wrong with you?
Where do these people come from? It's only 11.99!!!!

Put it on E-bay

Like I've said in various threads, it is a bonus and has Prince all over it. I for one, are looking forward to adding it to my associated artist collection.

Bria's C.D. is like a free C.D. You don't have to listen to it. You can throw it away for all we care (No, don't do that).

I actually like the sound of Bria's voice on her songs. But I agree with you that she'll likely be another instantly forgettable Prince protege. I am intrigued at how he produced all her tracks - so in a way it's kind of nice to get a female lead on Prince songs. I have no problem with him including her disc - I mean, come on - 2 new Prince CDs for 1 price is awesome as it is.

tafnap said:

i agreee completely with u, i feel the same way. But its our Karma to have to put up with Bria in this way. Glad i'm not the only one that feels that way.

I have no problem with Bria's CD being thrown in the mix. I dig chill electronica so I look foward to hearing it.

Forgive me, but is March 29th the release date? That day falls on a Sunday which is unusual for a new release.

Shouldn't this be in Related Artists? Just saying...

I don't think anyone out there is buying Lotusflow3r specif. to get Bria's cd. I know I'm not. I'm sorry, but I don't give a crap about her. She could be the next big thing, and I'd still not give a crap about her. That being said, it would have made more sense for P to either give us another disc of HIM singing HIS music or just forgone the whole 3rd disc included idea- our landfills are full enough, and u know that's where Bria's disc will go- in the horizontal file. I'm putting mine in with my recyclables.

tafnap said:

to say....i dont think i should b made 2 buy....first off is a "dumb statement". Prince nor anyone has a gun to your head. "Choice"....shouldnt be so hard.

Well we're not really 'paying' for her album, per se, it's just getting a promotional joy ride with Prince's material.

Then give it to your friend that is a neophyte in music.

Prince's Sarah

pald1 said:

But it's not a choice between another Prince CD and the Bria CD...it's a choice between 2 Prince CDs and a bonus disc of an associated artist with much Prince involvement, or 2 Prince CDs...

Call me the black sheep on this one but....

I think its a smart move ESPECIALLY IF SHE CAN SING.....

Personally I'd love for him to drop an all girl project (Shelby, Bria, Sheila/C.O.E.D, etc).

Oh and baaaaaw

There's always one...

L4OATheOriginal said:

Completely missed the point...and I can't keep repeating myself here...

I understand where you are coming from. You feel like no matter what Prince knows you (as his fan) are going to buy the cd's so instead of giving you the choice on Bria's it's in there no matter what. I will listen to it but only cuz he's on it other than that it'll be a cd in the collection of cd's that never get played unless by some miracle the songs that haven't been released are better than the ones that were. In a Perfect world Prince would re-release the cd with him singing the songs ( u know it's out there somewhere you can tell by the way she sings it that he song it first and she just copied him)

Maybe.....just maybe if u listen 2 the cd at least once, u might actually like it.
