I'd love to read whatever P finished...even if it is only 50 pages...He might have gone more into detail about his early childhood and teenage years, more than he did in print interviews or the Tavis Smiley shows, and that in itself would be worth it I feel...

Agreed.. Time for them to all take a seat. The ONLY book I'm interested in at this point, is his memoir. I hope one day whatever he completed, gets published.

if we ever see his memoir

Sorry. I misread that as "member".

Move along. Nothing to see here.

i'm mainly interested in his perspective, and hope to wait a few years before reading others' perspectives. But i can see how articulating that huge part of her life would be healing to her, and perhaps also healing to people who read it. And if they were married, then they were united as one for that period, and a respectful account of that era may be beneficial. For me, just the timing seems too soon, so i guess there are financial reasons. but whatever happened in those years, only things that edify Prince are worth writing about. She seems to have been respectful in the past, so i hope she will continue that.

also, is it just me, or does her book title seem to be chosen based on his choice of book title? as in "the most beautiful" of all his "beautiful ones". or maybe it was the most beautiful time of her life? i know of course the connection to tmbgitw song.

I will continue to say "FU" to all these folks coming out with stories/books after this man died alone in a fucking elevator. Please!

Well, there's definitely that.

Apparently, you don't understand what the Song is about to use it the way you have, not surprising given your confused logic on the meaning of feminism/sexism. Prince worked his entire life like a dog. Mayte has her fame/money because of her association with him not because of anything she has worked for on her own or done independently not directly using his name. She can do as she wants but obviously the book was stopped while he was alive for a reason. She has continued to milk her association with him for money, fame and sympathy. Nevermind, that she was perfectly giddy to perform like a cheap stripper on stage thru her horrible dancing (what a great empowering example for young girls!). Perhaphs you support one side feminism only when it financially behefits females (which is in and of itself a whoredom and class example of patriarchy putting a dollar value on everything) but that is not what feminism or critque of sexism is about. If you think it is somehow sexist to critique her for her actions and choices then you are essentially saying she has no agency and is not accountable for her actions. Again, sexist in itself. If you are a feminist then i suggest you focus to those who are powerless (that does not include millionairs who got their money from men they were with) and that would be her poor daughter who is the only victim at this point in Mayte's performance of ongoing paying victimhood. No one who is a true admirer of P. (and not a syncophant fan who lives vicariously thru imagined romances he had) would support her book, no more than they did her tawdry auction. Which is why almost nothing sold. Most people can see thru her and have been able to for some time. Her taking Carmen Electra off the list to attend the memorial should give an insight into just how "sweet" Mayte is. No class.

I agree. She is nothing but a bimbo stripper with no class. I had a good look at her revamped website. She revamped it since P's death and she is totally milking him. Finally the spotlight in on her, cause she was his ex wife. So what? How long ago has that been? How long were they married for? They were even not in touch. Mayte was a very sweet girl back in the days and with her innocent sweet look and being with Prince had made me love her. Everyone wanted him to be happy with this pretty nice girl, right? She toured with him and we loved all the style and clothes that Prince had chosen for her.

Since his divorce, what has she really established for herself? She brags on about her damn belly dancing (she can't even dance that good like she claims) , and the dog rescue. These are hobbies, right? I say hobbies because she can't obviously make a proper living. There are dancers out there that do so many great stuff promoting art, working with kids and the list goes on. She could have benefited from Prince's fame in such better ways instead of her permanent bragging with no use.. Even with the animal rescue thing she could have done it in a much more professional way.

Anyway, after analysing her website I made my conclusion: My advice for Mayte are 1) Get yourself a rich Eyptian man that loves your belly dancing, because you know you want all the private jets etc. (not sure why she hasn't yet considering she believes she lives in Egypt) OR 2) Go to a strip club somewhere and get your life back cause you love your dancing so much.

She's a disgrace to all single mothers and professional dancers. I have not seen any single useful thing coming from Mayte's world. She's just simply a moderate dancer with no singing talent, no acting talent. Nothing.

I agree with much of this, especially after watching Hollywood ex wives. I was very surprised to see the type of person MG really is. She throws things in anger, lies, is very vindictive, and at 40 is still very immature.

On the Oprah interview, she seemed so sweet, and he was so happy and obviously in love. Ultimately losing children ended the marraige. Something like that takes it toll on a relationship, blaming each other etc. I have to say that while he might have been able to control and suppress her true personalty/behaviour in public, what about at home? How happy would anyone be in the long run, living with someone with that type of personality?

I'm sure she'll do a big promotional tour for this book....appearing on all the chat shows to discuss it.

Another Orger recommended I listen to Man O War. I didn't really get it until I watched Hollywood Exes, then I was shocked, It was written in 1999. Hmmm

From the Eboy article in 2015:

EBONY: Do you ever see yourself writing a memoir?

Prince: You ever heard of checking your list to see who’s naughty and who’s nice? I just let people talk. I was talking to somebody about “The Beautiful Ones.” They were speculating as to who I was singing about. But they were completely wrong.

If they look at it, it’s very obvious. “Do you want him or do you want me,” that was written for that scene in Purple Rain specifically. Where Morris [Day] would be sitting with [Apollonia], and there’d be this back and forth. And also, “The beautiful ones you always seem to lose,” Vanity had just quit the movie. To then speculate, “Well, he wrote that song about me”? Afterwards you go, “Who are you? Why do you think that you’re part of the script that way? And why would you go around saying stuff like that?”

So we just let people talk and say whatever they want to say. Nine times out of 10, trust me, what’s out there now, I wouldn’t give nary one of these folks the time of day. That’s why I don’t say anything back, because there’s so much that’s wrong.

Prince's beautiful face, I knew it anyway. I said Prince is gonna be on the cover of a book he tried to stop.

Hollywood Exes was a reality TV show. The producers would of cut, edited and done whatever it took to show drama and therefore not just Mayte, but all of them in a bad light some how. Most of the stuff Mayte got angry about I could kinda sympathise with. I'm not defending whatever she did (burning someones fur hat, throwing glasses etc) but those if I remember WERE provoked. They knew she didn't like fur, so what does one of them go and do? Take fur with them to a holiday. You just don't do that shit when someone is your 'friend' and not someone you're on a reality show with. Because reality, most of the time- is boring. So it's not even a reality show in my eyes. It's just a skewered drama'd up view of these womens lives through the lens of a producer.

Ok, this is confusing to me. So is he saying the song was, or wasn't, about Vanity? He makes it sound like everyone (including Vanity?) would immediately assume it was about her, yet he goes on to ask why would anyone would be so presumptuous. So is his point that nothing is as it appears, or seems? (Or at least 9 out of 10 things?) Reminds me of something I heard years ago and keep in the back of my mind all the time: Believe none of what you see, and half of what you hear. Or is it none of what you hear, and half of what you see? No matter. The point is the same.

What I got out of it is, "My name is Prince and I am funky. My name is Prince, the one and only. I will confuse you with my sexy!"

That's all I got.
