I love Shelby J. too. Good to have a topic for her.

I really like her raw, strong voice.

Love her!

yes she is the highlight of Prince's show. If he didnt have her the show would suck!! She is the best background singer he has ever had. She needs more than the 2 or 3 songs he gives her per show.

I completely agree!

I adore her!

She has an amazing voice, and is a very sweet person.

If you haven't done so, check out her "blackgypsy" album.

I really like it.

I love her. Love her voice, love her look, love her style. She's a great addition to Prince's band.

some people project inside/out, that song/video is all about the soul. Shelby J got that and it shows.

Yeah that

And I also think she is ONE of the best background singers Prince has ever had, but I must admit, I loved Rosie too.

True, Rosie is a Power House!!!

I love her voice, confidence and fearlessness

She has soul, that makes you wanna shout

She has something that can tell you what soul is about

Shelby J's got soul... and she's Superbad!

I'll just let the late, great JB explain what having superbad soul like Shelby J

is all about.... southern soul.

Yes!

That about sums it up!

is this a joke

I think she's a cool, down to earth person.

Here she is with Anthony Hamilton, Roy Hargrove, Amir Questlove backing D'Angelo....OHKAAAY!!!! Shelby is the shit!!! If you don't know, now you know...Prince knows LOL!!!

I love her too. She seems like a cool person.

-I have thought about this long and hard, and I have a New name for Shelby J:

-"Sweet Shel"

-Sweet Shel sounds like a good title.

I surely do hope so. [Snip - luv4u] She's one of the two reasons I din't go to any other European concert this summer. Everytime I hear her shout 'clap yo hands' I feel a sudden urge to vomit

Unnecessary.

If you don't like her, cool.

Think of it this way: You saved money by keeping your ass home.

No need to call names.

Over-moraly people like you are to blame for the disneyfication of society.

If yo can't handle what I wrote, I suggest you don't listen to P's earlier work anymore.

What does the fact that you made a rude, unnecessary comment have to do with me listening to Prince's earlier work?

OH! I get it... You think that because your stupid remark annoyed me, that I can't handle the lyrics?

Thanks for making my morning with the most ridiculous thing I've heard all week!

"Overly moral" "Disneyfication"

How does that even make a smidgen of sense? You clearly have misunderstood all of Prince's early work. Go back and listen again.

I'd take Shelby over Andy Allo.

And what was the point of Misty Copeland?

I dont know...maybe we need a live disc of a show because the bonus Aftershow disc featured mostly Shelby and instrumental jamming on much of it..I was a bit upset by this...which is not her fault however.

She is a great singer but I think sometimes it just may be too much for me. I'd rather hear Prince singing more covers instead.

-Imago you are very smart.

-Shelby "Sweet Shel" Johnson:

-I don't know if you come in the org or read this place,

-but I want you to know that I support you.

-I do like your voice and I also want to say,

-Congrats on your marriage.

-You beat me to the altar, but hey,

-There still might be hope for me too.

-I think you are a positive person and beautiful too.

-You just keep on doing a great job and talk care of,

-your lovely voice!
