she's looking tired, but what a smile !

They probably didn't get much sleep last nite and doing all these breakfast/early morning shows isn't helping much 4 their daily rest

That band! Incredible but I didn't feel like Andy's presence matched the bands charisma. There was one point where she even turned her back to the audience for a long time. It seemed the band was the star and not Andy.Prince really went ALL out with this protege.

What is up with her and the geetar prop?

....I don't know what you guys R talking about.......that was Hotttttttttttttt!

"I grew up un bushes".

Nice...............

Oh come on guys, with this and the WGN performance Andy's making vast improvements with both her stage presence and her vocal delivery: better than the You & Me This Morning performance and, as she says, there's always room for improvement.

I respect the fact that she is getting out there and doing the work (unlike Bria ever did). And, unlike Tamar, she's actually doing it without Prince being by her side.

I resepect her efforts and will reserve judgement on Superconductor til I've actully heard it (don't even get me started on the lack of strategy direction with this release at the moment)

AA needs her own band.

Is she not playing? I watch her stuff with audio off, is it really prop?!

playing late night shows, up all night at the afterjam/party and then up early again

for tv appearances and rehearsals/soundchecks in the afternoon.

plus, in the intervals, logging on to facebook and deleting all those bothersome not

so positive posts from disappointed people.

that's not to mention possibly even 'fluffing prince's pillows' as well

she already looked a bit tired and 'not completely there' in the listening party pics.

but who am i to talk. 3 of those late nights like that in a row and not all the coffee

in the world would be able to pick me back up and get me out of bed

I agree, she needs her own band, a group of people that can 'reflect' her

If they come off 'more skilled' than she and she's the frontman, it can show easily

She looks really good with that guitar, but she played it just at the beginning

I give her props for doing it, unlike Bria (total waste of time) Maybe Prince is trying to bring it to hard via Superconductor. I think that band is overwhelming. I did like it and she tried, she's new to this but maybe her sound should match more of her personality. Maybe she is more like a 'the Family' style than 'the Time'

Funky jam!

I posted under wrong topic, but dragged it over where it

belong. I had to drag the other comments with me.. 'cuziagree

WaterInYourBath said: 'Cause that's exactly what it is. Everything about Allo is phony. Ouch! I think they were all just tired. They were really trying to push themselves to the limit. I wasn't feeling it either, I will have to hear her again when she is well rested. I think she should stick with her own style. I hope Prince is not trying to turn her into the next Sheila E. I think the band should be a little smaller I like how Erykah's band is simple and it made her stand out instead..or was it that big O' wig? Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed the band, they really have Prince's funky style. I just felt like I was watching Sade perform with Earth Wind and Fire, or maybe it was just the song. I didn't feel or see the connection between her and the band, but at this point I feel like she is really trying so hard to 'fake the funk' to please Prince. I guess if I was surrounded around that much talent I will do everything to absorb and imitate as much as I can before the dream is over and before Prince get's bored and moves on to his next Project. Andy, do your thing-Just remember on this journey, stay true to yourself and everything else will fall into place. My views will probably change once I see her perform again with the band. This was my first time watching her and I give her sound/song/performance 3/5 stars. I am not impressed to go buy her CD. I still have'nt listen to Bria's CD... ---It was DOA. I'll listen to it one day. muchluv2all [Edited 9/27/12 10:28am]

I'm sorry but this post is HILARIOUS! The thought of Sade performing with EWF had me on the floor laughing. However, you are right. It's funny because one of Andy's Pre-Prince influences was Erykah Badu. She should paid close attention to Erykah and how she crafts her own image instead of letting someone else (read Prince) craft it for her. These opportunities that Prince is giving Andy I think would have produced more fruitful results had he just complimented HER style with his musical abilities, instead of trying to create a funk diva, which by the way, no one is all that big into funk these days so WTF will this track be played/appreciated outside of the Prince realm? Hell, many within the Prince realm don't care for it...

Really have you taken a poll to know that the vast amount of Prince fans are not funk fans.

I honestly wonder if some of you so-called fans even understand that funk is the main element in P's music.

Yes, funk is a main element in Prince's music. However, funk is not a main element in most mainstream or even indie music nowadays. Hence, the senseless attempt to market a 23-year-old new artist as a funk queen. I think that is the poster's point. If Prince is trying to market Andy outside his fanbase, he needs to let her do her own thing instead of making her a Prince funk clone. Funk artists aren't burning up the charts anywhere now. No one needs to take a poll to see that. I think you misinterpreted the post. No one said that Prince's fans weren't into funk.

Although, judging by the reactions of some to Monday's Chicago concert, I might have to rethink my assessment, as it was clear that some of the negative posters couldn't get with the funk that he was serving. They seemed to want rock guitar Prince.
