New topic PrintableL4OATheOriginal said: Shorty said: 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. 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 We don't know the details of the publishing/copyrights and all that. There could be something like where if they started using the name again, without Prince 'owning' it, that he'd lose whatever rights he has to the previous material. It doesn't necessarily mean he's being a dick by saying no, it could be because of legal reasons. | |

----- 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. | |

frenchylatina said: correct me if im wrong, but wasn't there a post on Dr.Funkenberry a while ago about this bet prince and bria made. If bria was right about their albums reaching #1, he would throw her a party or something like that. And the albums reached #2, so she lost... But does this 'news' have something to do with that bet? Idk for some reason this story is pointless unless this is aimed at the bria fans or unless prince is involved with this "homecoming party"
I recall reading that on dr.funkenberry, also let's not 4get the album did reach #1 on other charts....Prince made mention of that on the Tavis show, having said that I think he is throwing Bria this party as promised!!! Lemme | |

berniejobs said: 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? sorry they are all deceased, and I'm certain John L Nelson gave Prince all rights...it was probaly discussed at some point. Contrary to what people say Prince truly loved his father. Lemme | |

because prince has press releases sent to dr. funkenberry to post on his site...that way it can look like gossip, generate buzz, and if prince changes his mind about what was posted, he can say it wasn't an official announcement. funkenberry gets an exclusive, prince gets free publicity and zero accountability. then we get to copy it on the .org and make snarky comments about it. everyone's happy! | |

Graycap23 said: NibbleOnYaEar said: Can these blind a$$ fans be more specific as to what makes her look manly? Features..etc. Looks to me as though P's fans are just reaching for reasons not to like her, so sad
Nothing about this beautiful woman looks like a man. Anyone who says that she does of FULL of it. It's obviously jealousy. There is nothing wrong with Bria and she does not look like a man. She's a beautiful girl, and unfortunately, when it comes to many of Prince's female fans, there will always be jealousy, criticism or suspicion about the women Prince chooses to date or marry, even though it's none of any of our business who he falls in love with, sleep with, date or marry.

How come I never hear men being called "jealous" when they are critizising or "hating on" other men? No one's saying the male orgers are jealous of Prince when they are dissing him. | |

Because the male ego can't handle the concept of women having constructive criticism of other women. It feeds the male ego to think of women being jealous of one another and it turns them on, kind of like womens mud wrestling. Also, men can't fathom themselves being jealous of other men when in fact, they INVENTED jealousy and are masters at it. Shit...wars are born out of pent up jealousy cuz one man has a bigger domaine and larger resources than another man. One could argue a world leader aint nothing but a pimp with his country being a bunch of taxpayers/Hos. We gets screwed and we pay for it. Carry On... | |

Also, women who call other women jealous are just insecure with themselves. The most flattering thing to a woman is not necessarily what a man thinks of her, but what other women think of her. Women get power from their sisters...it's a give and take sort of thing. Again we gets screwed and we pay for it.
Carry On... | |

Maybe if Bria had focused more on her voice, developing her singing skills and performing, instead of on her looks, she would have an LA-based music career now. She had a great start thanks to Prince, she seems to be squandering it away by focusing so much on the looks/fashion stuff.
And frankly, if she actually had a voice, her looks wouldn't matter. People can still spot and reward talent. [Edited 8/27/09 16:08pm] | |

Carry On... Not really, there are many women who don't have a problem giving another woman credit or a compliment for her looks/beauty, and are "secure and confident" with who they are.Didn't mean to generalize, but seriously, it's just that with all the women Prince dated over the years, you have to admit, that many female fans, on many sites over the years, have always criticized many of the women he dated or married, some harshly, for either their looks, talent or either state they may not be Prince's type, and some of that could be some form of jealousy from some, not all. That's not unusual coming from female fans over a male artist as fine as Prince though, it's actually expected. It seems there's many that will never see any woman good enough for him, yet some will. Nothing wrong with constructive criticism either, but come on Des, you have to admit that for the past couple of months on former threads about Bria, some on the Org, have not been very nice regarding her appearance, although in my opinion, I don't see anything wrong with her looks, that's just my opinion, but it's all good Des, carry on!

Desire2006 said: 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!!!!! The Lotusflow3r CD set has sold over 400,000 copies in just under 5 months. (pretty impressive since it was only available at Target) That doesn't include all the downloads from the website. (considering the bitchin' on here about 77 dollars a lot of people subscribed) Prince left $300,000 floating around Los Angeles that two companies are fighting over and hasn't even seemed to notice it yet. (Money don't Matter 2Night and it sure didn't matter yesterday) Keep in mind that along with Prince, Bria has sold 400,000 copies of her debut CD which came out at a number 2 slot. (Pretty impressive for any new artist) When go 2 a Prince concert or related event it's all up in the house but when log onto this site and the miasma of bitchiness is completely overwhelming! | |

Maybe Prince wants her to but she won't/can't because she's not good enough live or she gets too nervous or something... The check. The string he dropped. The Mona Lisa. The musical notes taken out of a hat. The glass. The toy shotgun painting. The things he found. Therefore, everything seen–every object, that is, plus the process of looking at it–is a Duchamp. | |

I kinda like this pic , idk what it is but its like art within art (since there is a painting on the wall and bria is in front of it )
Also, its quite obvious this pic was done in Prince's style, besides him taking the pic himself, i doubt bria would ever wear that outfit including the hat if it wasn't for him [Edited 8/27/09 20:59pm] | |

I sure hope the tide turns in society to where people go back to being natural. I'm so sick of mutilated, plastic-filled humans who all look the same. | |

VenusBlingBling said: DesireeNevermind said: Going? She been back there.
Those pics are not new either. Oh well. LA is not for everybody. I do like that hat. Yeah, but it says she's going back for good, ie she won't leave. No, LA isn't for everybody... Is she gonna move in with P, working on more stuff with him, someone else, is she back home to start all over...? Considering the source here it sounds as if Bria isn't history and we'll hear more of her. An actual performance, Bria live on stage? Oh, if only we could be treated with that. I couldn't be more curious... Is that what you REALLY want? I doubt she will be impressive...hell she isn't even convincing studio wise. Another case of good looks but less talent. Maybe she should do a calendar. That second pic with the hat reminds me of Mayte somehow. | |
