Hey... neat. Same pic. She's got a cute little Sandy Duncan thing goin' on with that eye, don't she?

Now I can't stop focusing on that!

Could explain the weird angle the photo was taken at though (I really find that picture odd, from a photographic point of view), she's never photographed 'straight on', always at some unusual angle.

Thats cuz the poor girl has got eyes very close together. I was nice and didnt call her cock eyed but it kinda is.


As for Militants defense. I think its nice Bria has got a friend.

Imo, she can suck donkey balls. nasty heffer and not nice. But she's pretty so that must account for something, oh and dating Prince.

Do we really care? A few do. Good for her. She can sell out a lip synching concert of a cool dozen when she hits it on her own.

Hi Bria aka AMpls. (God you dont learn do you?)

old pics

i love when the informed speak.

i have nothing against bria

i dont listen to her* music and its not getting forced down my throat by way of radio and television so i could care less

these haters are only dissapointed that prince didnt choose a more talented protege to work with

Bria is hot
She's everything ur not
The boys they lust 4 her
The girls they hate
The sound of her beat
Makes all them go crazy
The boys do as she says
The love what she flaunt
They sex they all crave
The love that they want
Her name is... Bria!

That's really pathetic. "Bria has got a friend."

Do you know how playground that sounds?

I'm not even defending her....I still have no idea what there is to defend.

I simply post about not understanding all the hate for her and now suddenly, as predicted, I get attacked by the Bria bashers and accused of being her friend like I've got some sort of pro-Bria agenda. I don't. I just don't have an anti-Bria agenda like you guys do.

The funniest thing, by reacting just as expected, you've proven my original post and thoughts to be correct. Have a think about that one and then diss me some more. I promise I will find it absolutely hilarious, since I'm not even on the opposite side of this argument to you.... I'm just not on YOUR side.

And still nobody has explained to me what exactly Bria has done to warrant this negativity. If you can explain this to me in an adult, civil fashion without name-calling, or accusations, or childishness, I'd be more inclined to give you the time of day.

omg, sal,you say it like it is!

you should see our love for Larry Graham too
seriously,if people cant have different opinions and voice them either then this place would be boring as hell...
take it easy,Prince wont see this thread dude.

the more i think about this, the more it makes more sense of what prince said on tavis "that he likes female singers" as opposed 2 the male voice.

prince wants 2 b the only male that gets the scream from the ladies.that was one of the beefs he had with mico on the nude tour. prince wants all the screams only!

now on the flip side, he'll put a female artist out there 4 the fellas 2 drool over but then smirks back at them cause he's hitting it, not you!

sick purple motherfucker


thus some of the ladies hate on the female he's with. the only female i've ever heard no bashing of was rosie and boni boyer..gee i wonder y not ..

muirdo said:

Dude I've been on this site a long time and seen a lotta things.

This ain't the same as Larry. It was clear the influence Larry was having on Prince, moving him deeper in the JW faith, stopping cussing, etc etc. Prince looks up to Larry which is what makes it dangerous.

I don't see any reason for hating on Bria other than the "Yoko Ono/Courtney Love" effect - ie, it's just easier to blame the woman. Maybe I'm wrong. But as I said, still nobody has explained to me what exactly Bria did to cause this hatred. I don't recall Tamar getting this kind of hate.

L4OATheOriginal said:

miko was fine.
as for bria...theres other reasons.

Militant said:

i saw horrible tamar threads.
atleast some find the bria threads funny.
the tamar threads were a bit frightening.

and i believe people have explained and dropped hints in other
threads but you still just dont get it.
you dont really care anyway...right?
someone could sit here and tell you exactly why
but youd still say "so the fuck what".
thats just who you are.

you say you want an explanation but i doubt
that any would satisfy you.
you can call it hate all you want,
but those who know the deal just see
you as someone who says they dont care but
continues to show up.

my question is...
why?
im not even trying to be an ass,
i just REALLY want to know why???
you go on and on about how much you hate the hate.
so...why?
why are you here?
do you think you will cause peace
without even knowing what the real problem is?

Militant said:

I wasnt being sarcastic and I wasnt bashing you. I dont know how you got that from what I wrote. And I dont think ANYONE here is attacking you. As far giving us/me the time of day? That is your perogative.

I have met her and she wasnt nice. Does it make me anti? No what makes me anti is the fact that:

She cames on here, her or her family mostly during/before the release of her cd and all 8 user names would pick fights and start shit because we didnt like "bria's music". You want to talk schoolyard? That was it. This was when only snippets were heard and suddenly these people are saying "her voice is amazing you can tell" shit like that.

And then Prince tells us how amazing she is and Im tired of waiting for Sade so I made my own Kmart version and then adds it to his cds. Fine. Im okay with that . As other people said, consider it a free cd.

And then.....nothing. Mr. I only want to work with real musicians (he said it and he was talking about everyone not just himself) brings us this fraud, shows her off and all she is is arm candy. Ok, do you big man...

But trade Bria for Tamar?! And then the heffa has the nerve to show up on here defending herself with a million aliases? (Until someone outed her and Raul for talking shit online) LFMAO

And I am not that into Tamar (I met her and she was foul attitude too) but for Christ sake at least the wench could sing! And she had the attitude for stage and could hold her own. Sure Tamar is not as pretty as Bria but it was a trade that was insulting.

Anyway. If that makes me anti virus B then I guess it does. I dont give a fuck if hes pumelling that ass every night. The woman has no class (and no Prince you cant buy it or wrap it up in an Awake magazine and call it class).

They are nice photo's but they are not new. One is clearly from her video and two others have her wearing the black dress she wore on her CD, at least the beading is exactly the same.

I also noticed that her eyes are either closed of nearly closed which deffinately makes you look more at her bone structure and not take note of her right eye which seems to never want to cooperate with photographers. I think in person you'd probably never know she had a lazy eye.


Anyway Brenda/Bria please post more recent pictures that might have been done late 2008 or in 2009.

Militant said:

tamar got hate as well

zoetruluv said:

and that's y prince and miko got in2 arguments on the nude tour

and i'm waiting 4 u 2 xplain these "other" reasons bria gets blasted 4

minneapolisFunq said:

It's no surprise, but with Tamar (and Shelby) it seemed he was getting on the right track - powerful women with strong voices. With Bria it was more like back to the usual, although for once the pretty protegé actually got some great music she did fine with.

L4OATheOriginal said:

Yeah, Tamar did get and still gets "hate". People were calling her ugly, constantly making fun of her eyes being wide apart (ironically with Bria it's the opposite), wondering what the heck P did with her, saying she's not the nicest person (like salacious experienced) and so on. Difference is that although I wasn't the biggest fan of the tone of her voice, Tamar could definitely sing, she was powerful and she had a lot of fun performing and there was not so much mystery surrounding her.

VenusBlingBling said:

You know Venus, Tamar while I didnt like her, had the goods. Meaning she may not make it to Beyonce Stardom level but she had a fledgling career before Prince (she performed with bands, showcases, etc) and now HAS a career after Prince (Tyler Perry, shows, etc). And yes, its a career. If she doesnt have to work at the mall part time she is supporting herself with her art, its a career.

You have to have mystique to make "mystery" work. And what Bria has is a wooden plank. Even vacuous Britney has charm. Bria is like a robot with planned, overworked mystery and allure. The bottom line?

Prince thinks we are as stupid as his protege. You cant fool us and you were better off with Shelby and Tamar instead of fuelling your own sexual preferences, fuel the music with organic exciting vocals and energy.

This shit is for the birds.

dollwoman said:

In person she looks a bit cross eyed. Her sisters do as well (you can see them on her facebook) but I'm not really sure if she actually is or its just the positioning of her eyes

Heres a shot head on and the side shot for comparison.

zoetruluv said:

I personally haven't seen any of the explanations or the dropped hints. So to say "you still don't get it" doesn't make any sense. You have managed to write ANOTHER post without explaining anything, as I've requested several times.

I wouldn't necessarily say "so the fuck what". It depends on what exactly Bria has supposedly done. and again LOL at saying I "continue to show up". I've made what, 4, 5 posts in this thread? And I haven't participated in any other Bria threads? How exactly is that me continuing to show up?

Why am I here? Because this is a Prince forum and I am a Prince fan. That extends to the people that he works with. I am here because I would like to be able to participate in discussions about Bria and her music. I'm not asking for every thread to be about how great Bria is or anything like that. But holy hell, almost every time I look at a Bria thread it seems to descend into the same old thing. Someone says something good about Bria. Then about 10 people attack that person and claim it's Bria herself. Then 10 more people jump in and defend Bria. And it all goes downhill from there.

And yes, some of the accounts praising Bria are quite clearly the same person posting with multiple accounts. But the same goes for the bashers. I don't which came first. I don't think that even matters. Maybe I won't cause peace without knowing "what the problem is". That doesn't mean I can't be a voice for peace or be allowed to state my opinion on the matter without getting attacked.

And like I said before, it's pretty pathetic that you use terms like "know the deal" and "know what the problem is" like it's some sort of secret Bria-hate club. I'm asking you what the deal is! I'm asking you what the problem is! And yet you keep replying to my posts without saying what it is!

salaciousV said:

OK, finally someone with some sense that explains to me what the hell is going on. Thanks for clearing it up. However, is that really the only reason why people are attacking her? The supposed postings by her? Something is giving me a feeling that there is more to it than that. Can you explain what is happening regarding this "outing"? When you say Raoul do you mean Prince's security guard Raoul? What exactly happened there?

How do you know that the people posting on here that were saying how great Bria was, weren't actually Bria-haters trying to cause a backlash? What evidence is there to even suggest it was Bria in the first place?

Also, I remember reading something about a fight in a club with Bria and Liza Lena/Hernandez. What's the story with that and were they fighting for Prince's attention? If that happened, who's to say some of the Bria haters on here aren't Liza or her friends/family? What's the relationship between DJ Rashida and Bria? I seem to recall reading something about that before as well.

It's stuff like what goes on here that in turn, makes Prince dismissive of the internet in general, and makes the paying lotusflow3r members suffer because he neglects the site. You know Prince keeps tabs on this place and what's being said.

I would just like all the facts. If someone wants to tell me something but doesn't want to post it publically, feel free to send me an orgnote.

Could one of the moderators please confirm or deny.

Don't hold your breath waiting for that confirmation.

I am just peein' my pants at this thread.
