i get really tired of the divisive attitudes i see on this site constantly.

you know what? it's possible to appreciate prince for who and what he is, and it's possible to AT THE SAME TIME appreciate wendy & lisa for who and what they are.

if you like one, you're not betraying the other by liking both. honest.

prince and W&L are on different paths these days, artistically, philosophically, professionally. prince is probably one of the last true, real POP ICONS we're ever going to see, and he continues to embody that status. that means there is a distance between him and his fans, but on the other hand he offers an experience through his concerts and albums that is still that of a huge pop superstar. meanwhile, wendy & lisa are operating on another level, one that's more down to earth and accessible, and they're more hands-on in how they communicate with their fans. they don't want to be seen as pop music superhero mythological beings, but rather as people who really enjoy sharing what they do. i don't think prince has a problem with how W&L conduct their careers, and i don't think W&L have a problem with prince's icon status. so what's OUR problem?

so W&L have made some barbed comments about prince here and there? well, so what! they were part of his family, and sometimes family bitches about each other. they've also said many times that they still love him to death and care about him. on the other hand, there have been reports and discussions out the wazoo about prince condemning W&L for their sexuality, yet he still contacts them from time to time to perform and record with him.

it sounds like they have things worked out a whole lot better with each other than the fans do. so again...what's OUR problem?

I can't put Prince and W&L in the same sentence of appreciation.

I think the concept is cute...i love that my friends are in it and well, the concept is cute.

I looked at yr Myspace page. It seems that you are are homophobe. Perhaps the best solution is that you should just stay out of discussions regarding Wendy and Lisa.

Really ? What does that have to do with W&L Vs Prince's creative output?

pplrain said:

That mater what they did you wouldn't give them credit. It's called bias, prejudice, etc...

Some of my best friends and mentors are gay.

I haven't been following the back in forth debate but your response totally reminded me of that, "I am not racist, I have black friends" joke.

Okay, as you were.

OOH! My blog got a namecheck on theirs today.

Sez the Girl Bros:






If you fancy less beans and more salt & cherries, head on over to wendyandlisa.com for more online audio-visual goodness.

It was okay with me but my computer wouldn't play it like it should and it wouldn't stop for it to totally upload. I must admit that it is not my cup of tea on first listen and then I just listened to it in its abrupt method. Although I understand why there is so much animosity amongst the different factions on here. Cause you have the Prince can do nothing right people on one side praising this and the W & L fans who think that is the best that ever been put on record and then you have the Prince die hards that will fight anyone who thinks that they should defend Prince against any and all comers even his former bandmates and then you have Bart!!! But it was okay for me but I will have to listen to it on another computer so I can really listen to it in its fullness. With that being said I still love the new output by Prince and nothing and no one can change that opinion but I understand that some of you want Prince to put out the music that is in your head to which you should just make it yourself. I am just going to listen to his version until you put yours out and then maybe just listen to yours.

I'm great, thank you
I see you were kicking up your heels in Monaco too...

btw you are totally wrong, I am not a homophobe . Some of my best friends and mentors are gay. Yay for homosexuality ! I just believe what I believe.

I don't equate W&L to have the same creative output as Prince. It is clear, like black and white, isn't it? They are just not on the same level.

It has nothing to do with sexual orientation. I would have loved Prince if he was a gay.

Cute!

it looks you like to get your ass kicked girl.

I don't know if you're a homophobe, you must be surrounded by gays all the time, being in the fashion business.
I have to admit your remark on your myspace made me fringe a little bit but hey, to each their own, right? People shouldn't be so damn serious.

I have a feeling that you're being bitchy about W&L because in your eyes they "insulted" Prince.
Prince is/was on another level than W&L, still, they get better with time and Prince....
Their latest cd is great btw.
