I'm curious was that in the 90s, when she had just converted? or more recently? when Vanity was hard on Prince.




The preaching video I just saw today was from 2012. Closer to the end, she talked a lot about forgiving her father and those that hurt her, that her heart wasn't hardened. I'm sure that included Prince. Perhaps it sounded like she was hard on him because she says she hated who she was when she was "Vanity". In some of the preaching videos, she has said that she does not blame him for her drug use. She says that she was responsible for her own actions and choices.



It was in the 90's, when she was all over Christian TV. I thinked they liked the idea of Vanity preaching and they always happened to have a video not of the last dragon or her solo work but of her Vanity 6 days. But it didn't phase her not one bit, I actually liked to hear her preach. She was very fire and brimstone (my opinion) at that time. I'm a PK and I've seen that a lot in new Christians and once the person grows, they mature and change. Been there and don't it. She never blamed Prince for her drug use but she would imply that he may not have done anything to stop her.



There was a video linke showing Denise showing her nephews all the things she was leaving to them when she died. Really couldn't watch that, but where did you see the preaching video from 2012.



In reading some other posts it seems like Prince went through the same thing in his faith walk, I read something about him not wanting to work with Wendy becasue she was gay and then a like a year or so later he reached out to her and they played together.

Go back a page or two on this thread a link to a segment of Inside Edition with Bill Reilly interview was posted. The 2012 preaching video is with that one. The camera angle is from up high and Denise is preaching down below. She is wearing a black suit and the carpeting in the church is red. Sorry, I would copy and paste but I'm on my phone and it's hard for me to do it.

She sure had the present of preaching that's for sure and helped alot of people with her story yes

Maybe, but I liked the old vanity better, if she could have done it without the drugs and the crazy promiscuity. She got so immersed in her religious stuff that it was almost unavoidable. She was like a Jesus tsunami coming at you.

I have no clue but let's assume the blind is about Prince. On the very day it was posted, Feb 4 2014, prince had a press conference and played a set in the London living room of Lianne Le Havras. It was considered highly unusual. Then she played with him several times on tour that year, including the jazz festival in NO.That's all I got.

Out of all Prince's proteges, she is about the only one I consider to have an amazing voice, she has real potential to climb the charts.

I don't believe it either. Let's face it, unless their is real DNA proof Prince had no children.

Below is a pic of Vanity 6 by Richard Avedon, Rolling Stone Magazine, April 28, 1983. I wonder if there are any outtakes along with Vanity and Prince stashed away somewhere?

[Edited 5/15/16 21:28pm]

Possibly, but where would they be? The vault? I'm wondering what other Prince/Vanity items are in there. [Edited 5/15/16 21:36pm]

Avedon took the pic of Prince and Vanity for Rolling Stone in Jan 83 and it was on the cover of the April issue. I imagine these were taken at the same shoot. so the answer is, all the photos in the april issue of rolling stone 83

I hope the results are revealed this week too, I've had enough of the conspiracy theories. And I won't be surprised if people come out of the woodwork to cash in censored Sheila E isn't one of them, she has a great heart

I think it said on the autopsy thread, not this week. I don't look for it till June.

yeah I'd be surprised if they have it back anytime soon. I know Sheila has a great heart but come ON how many times do we have to hear that he proposed to her? i wish she'd drop that story I don't think anyone is convinced he wanted to marry her since he went full on orgy for the next 4 or 5 years after the tour.

Good point.
On one hsnd, I'm glad she got clean and the "come to Jesus" helped but on the other hand, maybe it was overboard and hurt her chances at any reconciliation with Prince. She obviously still loved him deeply but maybe her testimony put him in a bad light. She's said in her preaching that she got rid of all the "Vanity" things but she was selling jewelry and pictures of herself (not the raunchier ones) right up until her death. I think that there was still part of her old self within her and whenever she communicate with Prince, that is what she was like.

I think Sheila E has a great heart however I think the engagement story isn't real. I think she put that in so her book would be published. Nor do I believe that he was engaged to Susanah because of the other women he was dating in that time period giggle eg, Sherilyn, Anna, Troy, Ron Moss's wife and the list goes on..... Prince loved the ladies pimp

I don't think he was engaged to any of those women either. He may have proposed jokingly, or right in the of middle of action in the bedroom, but he wasn't marrying any of them.

I agree, especially when some of them were living with him too eg. Anna, are u gonna share your "fiancé" with a jumpoff? no no no! I don't think so.

I never thought SHE was the reason he died.



.


I know he lived through a lot of loss...his parents, especially his infant son (that would have been it for me, honestly) and it devastated him. With that said, he also..obviously..had medical issues, and quite possibly a dependency on pain medication...so there were many factors.



.


Do i think he was sad she passed away, yes. Do i think it affected him greatly, yes i do. Do i think he had other major issues that were threatening his well being and eventually his life..absolutely!!!!



He had a lot he was dealing with. And when the immune system is compromised, any type of pain, emotional distress...depression...just makes the situation more dire and yes, i believe death can be the result.


.



But, no..i don't think she is the ONLY reason he is gone.


.


I do believe though, that she wanted her face to face with him, to be with him again...and this was Gods way of making it happen, she asked and it was given..in only way God can make happen. Maybe he needed to be out of his pain as well.



.


I also want to add that the timing..same year, same age..weeks apart, makes it (in my mind) more concretethat they were soulmates, and eventually would end up back together again, which they have.

Well he could have adopted if he had wanted to. But there was a blind item posted a few years back that many people thought was prince, it was about him having a secret love child with a well known singer.



He could have..but i always got the feeling he wanted a biological child bcuz he wanted to pass on his incredibly gifted musical genes..like he got from his parents...but i guess it doesn't matter now, right?



go back and read the post before yours, I edited it and added the blind. There might be such a child.


Ok, so who would be this woman and child? My mind's blank, I'm not coming up with anyone right now.

Hmmm..Taylor Dane maybe? Just a guess

beachy said: Only one that comes to my mind - Janet Jackson. There is a rumor that she and El Debarge have a love child- daughter being raised by the Debarge family. Maybe it's Prince's? lol

I guess its possible but for some reason I have a hard time imagining him with JJ. But she did go to MPLS to record one of her albums with Jesse Jam etc. I guess its possible.



When I heard Lianne sing she reminded me of Sade. And I heard some tidbits that Sade and Prince were seeing each other in 88/89. On the Lovesexy tour and she was seen back at PP. Its a wild guess but that would be my fantasy outcome, that Sade and Prince have a child who is Lianne.




That would have been in 1984 when Janet was on Fame tv show, I use to watch it. I don't believe it, if she did it would have been James De Barge.....if it was true this would have come out years ago, especially when Latoya was the black sheep of the family and she was plugging her "book" and playboy spread and using MJ and Janet for PR.

[Edited 5/15/16 21:21pm]



Yes it was James not El. I believe that James was married to Janet for a short time. The rumor is they had a child together which was raised in Europe. However I think I that was incorrect since Janet has said she wants a family now and the British tabloids especially would have been all over a Jackson love child story back in the day. This story is in J Randy Taraborellis book about Mike, if not in the latest version it is definitely in the first edition as that's where I read about Janet and James DeBarge.

I also read about it in a book called Out of the Madness: The Strictly Unauthorized Biography of Janet Jackson by Bart Andrews, and Taraborelli contributed to some of the contents. She also dated Bobby Brown (for like 2 weeks) and Rober De Niro. I could be wrong there was that rumor that she left Fame in 84 because she was pregnant, and she did lie about her second marriage to Rene even to Oprah when she asked while promoting The Velvet Rope in 97. But at the same time that family especially La Toya can't keep secrets, and it would have come out back then when she was doing the media rounds.

Not sure how true this

http://radaronline.com/ce...s-debarge/

But like you say if LaToya knew about it she would have told the secret on TV when she was airing the Jackson's family dirty laundry. Unless she was out of the loop and only a select few knew. However I don't know how Taraborelli would have known such information if it was such a closely guarded secret. So that rumor is difficult to decipher.

Then there was that rumour about Janet giving Rene a huge settlement when they spilt, because he knew all her "secrets". Like I said I won't believe it unless there is hard cold proof, in the meantime I wish Janet and Wasim all the happiness in the world and their baby rainbow biggrin now back to Prince and Vanity razz I think its sweet seeing all the tributes from Beyonce etc and how much on an impact their music and style has influenced pop culture like this story http://www.refinery29.com...zaar-cover or this one http://www.latimes.com/fa...story.html and finally this one http://www.vogue.com/1340...hanna-80s/

This is more of a what-if type question, if P & Denise had married say around the time of Purple Rain would it have changed anything - ie would he have changed personally, also in terms of his music career and his relationships with his band mates like Wendy & Lisa et al. I'd imagine him and Morris would have remained close and maybe he would have eased his stance on Jimmy & Terry and brought them back into the fold too, so you'd have the original Time back together. Also would he still have written and recorded as proficially or would he have focused more on being a husband to Denise and/or focus on making her a bigger star?.

Omg odd I was just looking at lianne pics and I said to myself she looks like Sade and she does resemble prince more than these dudes like capricio Caesar and the jailbird....

I think marriage would have put a albatross around both their necks, at least at the time. what I do wish had happened was that they both had got some therapy to deal with past issues and stayed a couple, monogamous, until they'd grown up and resolved their addictions. I think you could almost classify Prince's behavior as a sex addiction. But it sure resulted in some great music. Sometimes healthy people can't be as creative as when they had some issues to write about.

I'm rereading DMSR and there is a very nice quote from Vanity about how Prince, at the beginning of their relationship, cared for her insecurities, If I have time to transcribe it I'll post it later.

There was a video linke showing Denise showing her nephews all the things she was leaving to them when she died. Really couldn't watch that, but where did you see the preaching video from 2012.

In reading some other posts it seems like Prince went through the same thing in his faith walk, I read something about him not wanting to work with Wendy becasue she was gay and then a like a year or so later he reached out to her and they played together.

yeah I think I saw a few of those. well technically she didn't blame him but she was always asked about him and she always had a 'blame the sin not the sinner' 'I'm not gonna judge him but I disapprove of his iifestyle' vibe going on. Now that I think about it, this must have infuriated him, to be publically critiqued like this. If there had been any chance to get back together she killed it there. But anyway now we know he wanted a virgin. And she wasn't. So she lost nothing.Their 'window of opportunity' had passed...

He wanted a Virgin? Yeahhhh for 5 minutes then he kicked her to the curb! Ok, Prince went through his phases..thats all i see it as, he tried different things, different women..always searching for (what he lost??) or couldn't have anymore, Denise wasn't going to change back for him...so he joined her NEW way of thinking; religion, celibacy, etc.

.

He wouldn't have been so emotional when she died if held any grunges against her. Wouldn't have happened. Annnd their 2gether now so, seems like they are both at peace-----just my 2 cents smile

''The beautiful ones they hurt you every tiiiiime....''

yes RIP BEAUTIFUL ONES: Prince & Denise 2016

If it is Lianne she doesn't know it. I checked her twitter feed after Prince died and she doesn't sound like she just lost a father, more like a distant friend/mentor.

She said in an interview that he found her and called her up, she had done a song called 'AGE' about an older lover and he was saying something about wishing he was that person in the song. i dunno. This is uncharted territory. wish it were true so we could keep a piece of Prince though. she's got amazing talent.

I don't believe it either. Let's face it, unless their is real DNA proof Prince had no children.

Below is a pic of Vanity 6 by Richard Avedon, Rolling Stone Magazine, April 28, 1983. I wonder if there are any outtakes along with Vanity and Prince stashed away somewhere?

I love this photo of her..she's just so gorgeous.

.

Just an observation..but in this photo, and others i've seen and also in the videos with V6 she always has a jacket on, the girls never do, they never cover up...i saw a few live performances with Prince, V6 and The Time and she always had a cape, or coat, etc. on seems maybe she wasn't THAT comfortable in her undies the way the other two gals were? Not sure, but i've noticed that a lot lately.

I never thought SHE was the reason he died.



.


I know he lived through a lot of loss...his parents, especially his infant son (that would have been it for me, honestly) and it devastated him. With that said, he also..obviously..had medical issues, and quite possibly a dependency on pain medication...so there were many factors.



.


Do i think he was sad she passed away, yes. Do i think it affected him greatly, yes i do. Do i think he had other major issues that were threatening his well being and eventually his life..absolutely!!!!



He had a lot he was dealing with. And when the immune system is compromised, any type of pain, emotional distress...depression...just makes the situation more dire and yes, i believe death can be the result.


.



But, no..i don't think she is the ONLY reason he is gone.


.


I do believe though, that she wanted her face to face with him, to be with him again...and this was Gods way of making it happen, she asked and it was given..in only way God can make happen. Maybe he needed to be out of his pain as well.



.


I also want to add that the timing..same year, same age..weeks apart, makes it (in my mind) more concretethat they were soulmates, and eventually would end up back together again, which they have.





.

I think they were more like twin flames rather than soulmates..

I was wondering the difference between the two. Prince and Vanity had the twin flame dynamic going on. When one twin dies, the other loses a piece of himself/herself.

beachy said: Only one that comes to my mind - Janet Jackson. There is a rumor that she and El Debarge have a love child- daughter being raised by the Debarge family. Maybe it's Prince's? lol

I guess its possible but for some reason I have a hard time imagining him with JJ. But she did go to MPLS to record one of her albums with Jesse Jam etc. I guess its possible.



When I heard Lianne sing she reminded me of Sade. And I heard some tidbits that Sade and Prince were seeing each other in 88/89. On the Lovesexy tour and she was seen back at PP. Its a wild guess but that would be my fantasy outcome, that Sade and Prince have a child who is Lianne.




That would have been in 1984 when Janet was on Fame tv show, I use to watch it. I don't believe it, if she did it would have been James De Barge.....if it was true this would have come out years ago, especially when Latoya was the black sheep of the family and she was plugging her "book" and playboy spread and using MJ and Janet for PR.

[Edited 5/15/16 21:21pm]



Yes it was James not El. I believe that James was married to Janet for a short time. The rumor is they had a child together which was raised in Europe. However I think I that was incorrect since Janet has said she wants a family now and the British tabloids especially would have been all over a Jackson love child story back in the day. This story is in J Randy Taraborellis book about Mike, if not in the latest version it is definitely in the first edition as that's where I read about Janet and James DeBarge.


Whoops I was thinking of the wrong DeBarge.
lol

This is more of a what-if type question, if P & Denise had married say around the time of Purple Rain would it have changed anything - ie would he have changed personally, also in terms of his music career and his relationships with his band mates like Wendy & Lisa et al. I'd imagine him and Morris would have remained close and maybe he would have eased his stance on Jimmy & Terry and brought them back into the fold too, so you'd have the original Time back together. Also would he still have written and recorded as proficially or would he have focused more on being a husband to Denise and/or focus on making her a bigger star?.



I think marriage would have put a albatross around both their necks, at least at the time. what I do wish had happened was that they both had got some therapy to deal with past issues and stayed a couple, monogamous, until they'd grown up and resolved their addictions. I think you could almost classify Prince's behavior as a sex addiction. But it sure resulted in some great music. Sometimes healthy people can't be as creative as when they had some issues to write about.



I'm rereading DMSR and there is a very nice quote from Vanity about how Prince, at the beginning of their relationship, cared for her insecurities, If I have time to transcribe it I'll post it later.


Yes, therapy would've been great for them. I agree that sex addiction may have been a problem for Prince, but he was not trying to change that. All the women after Vanity seemed to not care that he was banging all these others in the side, but Vanity could not put up with that. She said in an interview that she wanted one man but Prince wanted more than one woman. I'm not saying she was saint either but I think her promiscuity seemed like a revenage against Prince's. Marriage wouldn't have been a good step for them as they were both young and trying launch careers when they started out. I think later they would've had a better shot. Like you, I would've liked to see them stay together but too many forces were against them, including timing.

She was not comfortable. She has said in her preaching videos that she was not comfortable being mostly naked. She would go on stage put on the performance with a smile on her face, but that is not what she wanted to do long-term. At one point, in that 2012 preaching video, she is addressing what kids watch on TV- all the fornication and such. She said, "I know because I was on your tv screens and I'm sure many of you were thinking- girl, put some clothes on!" She was not comfortable and even though her outfits were still a little risky when she went on her own, she was not as naked as she was in Vanity 6. I will say that there were some performances where she, Brenda, and Susan had dresses instead of lingerie and garter belts. Maybe she was expressing that discomfort to Prince?
