This letter is hilarious. Ego feeding much? Gosh she was YOUNG. NO wonder he was all up on her. Oh my.

The blurb about Gold being better than Purple Rain was that defining moment for me where I saw Prince's hype machine blow a gear and it has kept falling apart since then.

Of course.... still EGO tho, and my favorite thing about Mayte: co-signing, agreeing to participate with and encouraging that swolen head he had then. Handcuffs indeed.

This guy provides amusement beyond any soap opera I swear. Thanks for posting that, it really gave me a chuckle.

Thanks for starting this topic! I am a HUGE fan of Mayte... I can't believe I have never seen some of these articles b4! So great 2 c all this after so many yrs. I actually got the chance 2 meet Mayte in La at a show she did. She was soooo nice. She took pictures with my friend & I. She talked to us for about 20 minutes. I had come from Washington State & my friend came from San Fran 2 c her. We had sent her a message on myspace & told her we were coming so she was looking out 4 us. It was so great 2 meet my idol & have her b so nice, generous & truly greatful 2 have us at her show!!

This is an ad 4 the show she did!

I have also talked to her on her myspace. And she is just the nicest, gracious person. And drop dead gorgeous too. She just proves you don't have to act like an idiot like Naomi Campbell just because you are pretty.

(And for the record, Mayte stomps Naomi into the ground in the looks department.)

She's simply the best

Mayte's version of "If I Could Get Your Attention" is great. Probably one of the best songs she recorded, it would have been nice for it to make the album, but as you said, it was already released by Taja.

"If I Could Get Your Attention" would have made a great follow up single to "If I Love U 2Night" had it not been released by Taja Sevelle of course.

I hope in new Mayte's music.

Which version of 'If I Love U 2 Night' do orgers prefer, Mayte or Mica Paris? I prefer Mayte's version, her voice is really sweet. I do not own the album, is it worth buying?

While I enjoyed Mayte's entire CD, I was more taken by Mica Paris' version of 'If I love U 2Night'. It has a smoky, sexy feel to it while Mayte's version is a more schoolgirl innocent vibe.

Taja owned that song. That & 'Take Me For A Ride' were killer!

I totally agree with you, i was impressed with Mica's version, she is a very talented singer.

We can't really compare Mica and Mayte, vocally, they are like chalk and cheese.

I wish Prince had did more songs with Mica. She has an amazing voice. She definitely would've done anything he wrote for her justice.

I seem to recall that in the BBC Tv docu about Prince, there is footage of an aftershow at The Camden Palace in London in '88. Mica is in the audience as Prince begins "Just My Imagination" and hands his mic to Mica, who then proceeds to tear up the place with her vocals......very nice.

I love her first album, i still listen to it from time to time.

I like the title of this thread, but you should've emphatized parts of it, like this:

When speaking of vocal talent... which is better? Chalk or cheese? and who is chalk, and who is cheese?

okay, I don't know who this Mica Paris is.

Is that the girl who sang the song that sounds sort of like "and God created woman"?

Now I have to google her and look her up on you tube.

Edit:

okay, yes I l loved her song.. my one temptation.. enough that I coughed up the buck and 78 cents to buy the record.

And whatever to y'all that don't think My one temptation and God created woman sounds nothing alike. I say they do, and we already had that debate.

What is the connection for her and Prince. Did she record with him. Is she a really talented singer.

What did they sing or record together. What happened to the connection?
