heres how I look at it:

Prince signs distribution deal with Target Stores in the USA for them 2 sell his new 3-CD set, Lotus Flower, of which Brias' Elixir is one of them, for a bargain price of $11.99, CD set doesnt sell, not only in the USA, but worldwide. Also, not many people, as he had expected, had paid $77 to register with his new Lotus Flower Official site!! Prince and Bria cant afford 2 live in LA anymore due 2 falling worldwide economy and recession(even though Prince is loaded), Prince moves back 2 MPLS and Bria follows as she is not as loaded as Prince is cos she hasnt been able 2 secure any TV or concert gigs!!!!

Simples!!!!! biggrin biggrin biggrin

neutral I really don't understand this ongoing joke about Bria being manly (nor the similar thing with Lady Gaga). I think she looks pretty beautiful myself, quite curvy and voluptuous. She has a lovely mediterranean-like (Italian/Spanish) face and features...

-----
I don’t understand what all the trashing of the woman is about in addition, if she is from P’s hometown and he met her when she was still high school would someone from their hometown have spelled the beans that she was he by this time.
I also think some of you are sticking a European standard of beauty on this woman. Latin and African-Woman are not stick figures.

Try some basic math.

350,000 copies at $6.00 profit = 2100000 plus whatever he received from Target upfront and the nice tax write-off he is going to get for renting a home under one of his corporate names for most of this year.

Granted, I am excited by the idea of the Prince Rogers Trio, but... as always, I have to speculate -

Double standard? The Family is not allowed to continue using the name The Family, but Prince is allowed to use someone else's band name? Could a surviving member (if there is any) from Prince Rogers Trio send Prince a Cease and Desist order?

-----

Are you on crack? That was his father’s band's name and the band that he was named after. Do you think P's dead father is going to come back from the dead and sue?

I think he was refering to maybe another founding member of the father's band who is still alive. There were 3 or 4 people in the band right? P's father and mother and probably 2 others.. a drummer and maybe a bassist or something like that. Maybe one of them is still alive. shrug

Ok, have you seen that the pics suddenly have names?

1: "Bria Cline" Cline? Referring to what/who? hmmm
2: "Bria Orange" Duh lol
3: "Bria Blurry" Is that to answer my question why they took a blurry pic? "'Cause it's art and supposed to look like that!" lol


'bria cline'-i think that's a play on words,as in 'recline'? maybe..

the 3rd pic is nice,simple. 2nd pic dosen't work,it looks like a giant orange mop landed on her head! I don't think the hippy/boho look suits her.
she is a very attractive girl.

OK...this bit of news is strange in many ways. first of all, I know it's never been confirmed that she and prince were a couple but...come on! seems to be the concensus....so what's with the "eligible bachelor" thing? then there's the prince rogers trio bit....say what? who or what is the prince rogers trio? (yes I know that was his fathers band) and is there really going to be a party for her homecoming? and what kinda "joke" is that, about not being her first choice? and that's all she could afford in these tough economic times? ugh! weird...so what was her first choice? (the whole band?) and why make that comment about affording it in these times....just all way off base to me...bizarre. perhaps I'm reading into it too much...

I doubt if any of these people are alive and if they are do you think they own the copyright to the name. Because that is the only reason P can stop the Family from using their original name. He owns it they don't case is closed.

I really don't know how many people were in the "trio" but wouldn't it be safe to assume there were only 3? dad, mom and a drummer maybe?

I always thought the trio was the 3 guys in the band... and P's mom was a lead singer or vocalist. Lite Ramsey Lewis and the trio's or whatever RAmsey Lewis band was called. They had a lead female singer on some of the songs but the band was the jazz ensemble. And many of their songs were instrumental.

OK, so assuming this came from Prince (or Morris)...

Prince either wants it known that he and Bria R not together, or he's messing with folks.

The line about The Prince Rogers Trio not being her first choice could be read several ways, but it sounds like humour. It's just that Prince has a very clever way with what I call half jokes... Humour based on something actual.

Maybe he threw in the "eligible bachelors" line 2 throw people off 4 some reason... like... they're gonna get married.

?

or both.
I took the trio "joke" to mean there were really on 3 available...maybe the rest are on vacation or on other gigs. but I do think it's kinda crass to make a $$ joke about these tough times...he really would have NO idea about that anymore. hey I don't hate him for it....just kinda like confused

I doubt if any of these people are alive and if they are do you think they own the copyright to the name. Because that is the only reason P can stop the Family from using their original name. He owns it they don't case is closed.


i'm going off topic on this thread but i just need 2 understand something: if the family can't use the name "the family" on their new music, the how can the time continue 2 market themselves either under "the time" or "morris day and the time"?
man, he has such an amazing body of music that it's sad to see him constrict it down to the basics. he's too talented for the lineup he's doing. estelle 81

I guess it all depends on who hold the copyright to the name...and or if he allows it, if he owns it.
I'm not up on all the family stuff....was there a falling out or something where he wouldn't allow it? perhaps if he's got no involvement in their music and doesn't like the new music? I dunno..just guessing. shrug

something tells me it's about how st paul left during while prince was doing UTCM and then there's susanah in the mix as well ..just speculating but it does seem weird that they can't use the name tho since everyone who he's giving them their new career name and leaves, STILL uses that name 2 do their craft

Wrong forum.
But thanks, I was amazed at how long it's been since anyone did a thread concerning Bria. lol
I thought she had left the purple camp but it seems she's still part of it. She's looking good and P is a good photographer, don't know why the blurry/photoshopped one was used though...
Wonder what's next? hmmm

I agree with you that the pics are great and P has a good eye with a camera. I'm wondering what up with all of this. Does this mean that Bria's going to FINALLY sing in front of an audience? If it's true, then it'll be long overdue.


hey where are you finding these pics?

I think P has a beef with St Paul and no beef with Morris. After all St.Paul did ditch the group.

I don't know why this was even news.....I mean who cares if she is moving. Don't say anything unless she is getting on a stage with a mic to sing.....or her and Prince are getting married which I doubt but than again who knows. I don't wanna be Bria I aspire to do things better in my life.....like be the wife and not the kept woman who can't afford my 1st choice...so sad. It seems as if he doesn't really care that much about her I mean we get alot of photos of her in the same outfits and he hasn't really pushed her as a talent he didn't even appear in a interview with her sitting or anything. Seems like she is on her own and for him to allow the part about men come and get her if he is with her that is not cool at all it coms across as he's just not that into you kinda thing. I don't remember him ever being like that in the press with a woman that was his. I wish her the best life.


P.S. Ouch on the man comments I wouldn't wanna be Bria.

Check the link in the first post. Go look up Bria and you'll find them;)

Or to make it easier I can post the two pics that haven't been posted here yet:





She totally looks like Kim Kardashian in the second one!
