Mayte might write another book

Hope everyone is holding up OK today <3

Last week I shared with you guys an interview I did with Mayte. I mentioned that the editor made the decision to cut certain portions for length (she wanted the article to be a little more focused on parenting as that was the section of the site it was going up on, and it was already running quite long).

Today, some of those previously cut portions have been published in a new article on the entertainment vertical of the site, where it's more appropriate for the subject. I pushed for this for you guys, I want you to know! biggrin I specifically put in the parts where she talks about his family's feelings on The Most Beautiful, and something else that will delight half of you and enrage the other half: She's toying with the idea of writing a second book.

"it's coming from love". LAWD HAVE MERCY! She can stab someone in the back and sweetly say "it's coming from a place of love" without batting an eye. I don't have a problem with her writing a book about her creative contributions to Prince's music (backing vocals, choreography of videos for certain songs, inspiration for songs) but I hope she reaches out to the musicians who played and helped arrange the music on those songs to give greater context to that period and for those cats to get their just due.

---But she is not going to write about that. No one is going to pay money to read about her unless she talks about Prince. Now I hope people will start to wake up and see her what she is. This is one of those things I wanted to be wrong about.

I liked the book but there is no doubt she had a ghostwriter. I can guarantee, she did not write that.

I liked the book but all that "tears go here" "tears go here," was annoying.

Yes, she did have a ghostwriter. I saw somewhere (can't remember where, I will try to find) where she said she specifically chose one who had also lost a child. She thanks a writer named Joni Rodgers in the acknowledgements of The Most Beautiful, and that's who I believe it was.

You know "prince and mayte...in the bedroom" with VIP photo book available for a nominal fee. Even her toying with the idea is...well, i guess to be expected

I think we do need another one. I think that era needs light shed on. That's the era we know least about him as he shut himself off from the world almost.

If she does another she should just focus on the musical era 1991-1998 ending with the One song/video

She should talk about the concerts, music, bands and videos

I've been quite hard on some of P's associates for cashing in but the last few days I've had an epiphany. You know, Prince doesn't care, and neither do I to be honest. How can I judge? At some point, whether it's Mayte, Sheila, the rev, Andy Allo, Shelby...these people all meant a lot to P and they all loved him. If they have families to feed, a career to build or just want to pay homage get on with it. I really don't mind anymore. It should be their decision.

I don't mind associates doing an ode to Prince to honor him. It's when they get outta hand about it. I think they lose sight of why they do the odes in the first place and over do it. It comes across really selfish and self interested.

Very interesting because she insinuated things? I don't watch HLN so didn't see it.

How can she do that when she was not in even in the band until 93. She was a dancer not a musician. Oh I know make up shit. I am glad she has lots of people to support her so she does not have to get a job. If you no education or job skills this what it comes down to😳
