Have any of u that are against Andy actually heard her new album? She sounds pretty damn good to me. Peace in the House of Prince. | |

No i didn't.everyone can sound great in the studio.i based my opinion on her live act.she can't sing.she don't know how to play even beginner like stuff on guitar.if you ask her to play you some Prince song on guitar she couldn't do it.Yet her bio says guitarist ,singer and musician. | |

Andy's singing sounds like she's chocking on something and she's always flat when she sings. Off key moments all over her Kimmel performance. | |

I like Andy.
She is a good musician with a great stage presence. She is beautiful and fun. Not arrogant or fake at all. I really think she'll be able to build up a career in music, next to her modeling career.
99% of my posts are ironic. Maybe this post sides with the other 1%. | |

Sure the other musicians in the band are better on their instruments than Andy, but the reason she got an album (other than sleeping with Prince ) is that she is a singer/songwriter. Yes she had no place in his band, but she does have a place making records. Ida & John Blackwell belong onstage with Prince, or on other peoples' records.
Nobody is going to buy a John Blackwell record. I suppose Shelby could make an album, but I probably wouldn't want to buy it, either! My Legacy

Mary J Blige has had a career of off key moments...yet she sells out venues with her life story (to paraphrase Chris Rock - you got off drugs like you're SUPPOSED too ). Alicia Keys was an awful singer live early on, clearly she has worked on it. | |

I don't mind when folk say they don't like something, but the ferocity of a lot of the criticism smacks of jealousy. | |

She indeed is not perfect. And I like the imperfectness better than perfection. Eg, I like her all natural pictures; the photo shopped ones not so much.
She's playing the guitar for just a few years, I think she's doing fine. She's not the greatest guitar talent around, but she's practicing and making it work.
I've seen her perform and the audiance responses strongly to her. You may not like her voice, she has touched me when she sang their Amy Winehouse tribute. I thank her for that, because I cherish that moment.
I like her, not because she is perfect, but because her positive radiance and willingness to do it all. She also could have stayed in her room and not come out until she reached perfection. Fortunately she isn't a people pleaser and she has the guts to go out there and give us the best she can.

Here it's been about a good 6 months or so of people bitching about Andy Allo but still jocking her every move because it may involve Prince. The other ladies in the band are talented as some of you have said but how many of you singing their praises actually has supported their work with dollars? You don't hear about their projects on here ad naseum because there's no Prince involvement and that's the "only" reason some of y'all pay attention to anyone mentioned on this site. 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! | |

Mary J. Blidge have off key moments but compared to Andy ,Mary is an opera singer. It's not true that Andy practise guitar .if she did ,a year would be enough to become competent guitar player and her 'playing' is at the same place as it was.the only worse player i can think of is Lil' Wayne. Andy Allo is not a singer ,no way she is a musician,she is just some oportunistic little girl and a clear proof that Prince can sell pure shit to some of you and you will think it's amazing. And i love Prince but i see what is going on here. | |

So honestman just because you don't have valid arguments now my spelling bothers you.ok i know english french and serbian.which languages do you speak? | |

I speak the language of learn to spell a persons name if you're going to talk about them. Beside that I question anyone citing artists that they can't even be bothered to know how to spell their names. If I'm going to talk smack or give praise then I should at least know that much about you.

The point is people will support any shit that Prince puts out. Both RNR and Superconductor are as good as the poo in the toilet that you just flush away without even thinking, and that is what it is at the moment, so overall I agree with you, but you already know that. Prince I will always miss and love U. | |

Stop being arrogant! You know damn well that the org is frequented with many people from abroad Prince's fanbase is international. Instead making those silly remarks, maybe you should learn one or two more languages so that you can broaden your brainwashed mind?
I noticed you are constantly picking on people here! S Prince I will always miss and love U. | |

As for your statement about Allo being arrogant. Have you been friends with her long enough to establish this fact? What instances led you to this conclusion?
As for her not being a musician and her voice being awful. Those are "your" opinions not facts established by other means. Have you actually asked her to play a Prince song for as you previously stated?

Just because you defend her doesn't mean you will change the fact she can't play | |

When did you hear me say that she could play guitar? You said she can't but and a bunch of other shit. You said I didn't have an argument for your post and when I ask you questions based upon your posts you start name calling. Still to maintain some professionalism here, Andy Allo has a record out, played Jimmy Kimmel Live, is doing good on Amazon and what are doing? Yeah you can speak 3 languages and you're proving yourself stupid in all of them. By the way it's MARY J. BLIGE not BLIDGE. Also use the shift key from time to time, it's your friend!

Honestman there is no dispute that Andy was on Kimmel and is doing good on Amazon. But the only reason it is that way is because of Prince.Fact. Do you think that Maceo is playing with Andy because she is a next Betty D. ? People are not blind and deaf.Wait for a real full blown concert by Andy.Her voice will break after the first song.The thing that bugs me is that there are some Prince fans who refuse to be objective.They act like Andy is the next funk icon.And i don't say that you're one of those people,but i think that you're not objective.Why is hard to say that back vocals and instrumentation swallow Andy in the mix.Why is it hard to admit that Andy never played a single lick during her live gigs with Prince??? Everybody can rock the house in the studio.i don't have a doubt that Superconductor is a cool album but again,that's not because of Andy. And how the funk you know if i'm a fool on 3 languages. And so what if i didn't spell Mary's last name right.i don't pay attention to Mary and in my first language you write the same way as you speak.It's not like some languages where you have 10 letters and you say only 3 like in french for example,so considering those trivia i'm doing a good job.

If we exclude Vanity 6 before Andy hit the stage with Prince in Prince's music live there was no offkey singing,almost never.Now you have it everytime .Andy butchered the songs Foxy Lady,Take Me With You,Wild World and listen to her cover of legendary quiet storm jam Let's Get It On. The word bad is a compliment here. | |

Honestman i will answer your questions. 1)No i am not a friend with Andy Allo but i can tell you that you have a much bigger chance to chat on the net with Ernie Isley then Andy.Ernie is a guitar legend and music icon. 2)well you can always say that you like Andy's "singing" but i can always point you flat and offkey singing by Andy.Kimmel performance have at least 10 offkey moments ,can you point otherwise? | |

So maybe she doesn't belong in the NPG, but if you say you have no doubt the album is good, then what's the big deal, really? Supposedly she wrote most of the songs, and nobody is doubting that she was thrilled to work with Prince. And they made a decent album. So what's the issue? My Legacy

The issue is real music by real musicians . Bria sound like singer with range compared to Andy Allo. Britney Spears sounds like Taylor Dane compared to Andy . | |
