You still haven't said how giving away the EP is dishonest. And, now are you somehow suggesting that she thinks she is Prince?? Chiiiile. Your comments are just as "baffling" as the man's comments to which you refer. And, since you are on here launching grenades, you need to make it plain. Otherwise, it becomes patently clear who's being manipulative.

BTW: The hateful obsession that some have with Andy is unhealthy...and creepy. I pray that she has security around her.

I doubt Andy feels she needs security around her at this point but between some of the people commenting on her social media and some Prince fans,she may want to consider it

Giving the EP away and asking those who enjoy it to share the link with their friends does help promote Andy and her music.She's letting the music and her talent be the marketing and asking those who love it to pass it on.I noticed she put #payitforward in her social media posts.People aren't being forced to share it however and are doing it out of love for Andy and her music.People also are also not forced to watch her Music Mondays which is also another way she promotes her music and lets her audience get to know her better.She is an independent artist without a label backing her so she is responsible for marketing her music herself and for letting people know about her upcoming projects.



Exactly. And there's nothing manipulative about it. The same is true for her StageIt concerts. There is no minimun ticket price, but some will choose to give freely because they understand that she and her musicians are putting in work.



Is Andy like your long-lost daughter or something? I don't get it. What does stanning for her do for you? Is she a figment of yourself in your mind? Like, you're trying to stand up for yourself but Andy is a stand-in for you?
Hey! wait! Maybe that's were the word "STAN" comes from!
Stand-in = Stan!
Yes! I see it now!
Boy, I'm good.

I didn't ask you for your opinion. Get a job.

I wasn't giving you my opinion.I was replying to Fly.Andy is becoming very sought after in Hollywood so you never know.Looks like she's getting ready to blow up.Prince always said she'd be a star.

We were discussing the actual EP and the production of it.The thread was made to discuss the EP which we were doing.

I'm very glad she decided to gift us with this beautiful EP.I'm sure she was testing the waters a bit also to see the reaction and it has been warmly received.I wish it had a few more songs as it's a bit short but from the looks of it,most are thrilled to have it.Her voice is perfect for these songs and I love the production.Sounds like a lot of work went into the project and the producers are very pleased with the way it turned out,wanting to work with her again.

I agree, pink. The production on the EP is exquisite. Some of it even sounds orchestral. Her team should be pleased. And, it is a bit short, in terms of CDs, but it is over 16 minutes, which is not bad for a free EP. I could see it playing on loop for a holiday gathering. Indeed, I'm going to a mixer Saturday and I am going to share it there. I was torn because the party falls during the time of Andy's StageIt concert, but the hostess was thrilled to hear about it. She said that we can watch it at the Christmas Ornament Party. Suffice it to say, this EP is truly a gift for which I am extremely appreciative, as is everyone with whom I have shared it.

[Edited 12/11/17 6:45am]

Yes from the producer's posts on FB,it sounds like a lot of thought went into the project.It does sound orchestral at times and the production is excellent,I agree! Very talented crew! They said they were thrilled to work with someone as creative as Andy and that she was open to all of their ideas and that they hope to work with her on an actual album using a similar sound.Nice idea to share the EP and Andy's StageIt at the party! It would make for good background music.

I support most of those who were loved by Prince and were supported by him.I also love Sidibe,Shelby,Liv,Sheila and Natalya.He introduced me to many artists I would not know about otherwise and I'm grateful for that.I like Judith's album and I support her and her projects as well.As I said before,I stan for no one in particular.I love Andy no more than I do the others.I became interested in her music after she was introduced to us through Prince.I continued to support her and her projects after she left him as did he.I also acknowledge that she seemed to be special to him and he was one of her biggest supporters.

You make my point about hateful, negative people masking their venom with spiritual claims about "the universe" and such.

To be sure, I agree that it's ridiculous to accuse her of "pimping" Prince, but that didn't stop an Orger from recently making that very claim. Just as ridiculous is your claim that you are somehow "helping Andy by requiring that she be 100% authentic with us" by accusing her of not being honest about gifting her Christmas EP. rolleyes

Bottom line, if you feel that the free EP is manipulative, then don't download it. It's very simple. Meanwhile, those of who know better than to look a gift horse in the mouth, as they say, will continue to play this free music until the cows come home. In fact, I'm jamming to "Merry Christmas, Baby" at this very moment. music headbang fro



Yes, I am prompting her or the people around her to be 100% honest. No games, no gimmicks, no manipulation, no "marketing". She is not Prince. Only Prince could get away with what he did, and made it interesting, and as he grew he became more and more authentic anyway. I understand that the concept of total emotional honesty might feel like "hatred" to you. But Spirituality is about that. Either give freely or charge for what is your right to charge for. This man's comment about her great marketing really baffled me.

You still haven't said how giving away the EP is dishonest. And, now are you somehow suggesting that she thinks she is Prince?? Chiiiile. Your comments are just as "baffling" as the man's comments to which you refer. And, since you are on here launching grenades, you need to make it plain.

You're the one who obsessed about her all over the worldwide internet for over a year.

If Andy does ever get to the level where she needs security, it wouldn't be me she would have to worry about. wacky

Someone on this thread, I won't say who, must have some kind of issue(s). I don't know what kind of issue but it's not hard to point out. I said what I said.

Here we go again! Same boring mantra over and over again! Prince and Andy had a relationship. Your opinion of their relationship is irrelevant to us and Andy too!

anangellooksdown said:

I got a very clear glimpse of something this morning when I was just standing somewhere not thinking about it...it was just “put on me”, just materialized... At the time of Prince’s death Andy was the young female he had the strongest feelings for and hope for. It is quite a compliment. But Prince was also an older man, yes, exactly like an uncle... And he was still untouchable in many ways. He was so much higher than all the females around him when it came to a serious committed relationship. (romantically). This is the explanation for why he didn’t get too serious or remain serious with Andy romantically. Or any of the other ones. I know the Truth when I feel it. There actually was no one around him who was a potential equal to him in this way. He had already been through it twice before. He knew better.

Marketing is not the prerogative of Prince alone. All artists have a right to marketing their work and creative efforts. That is the only way that they can earn an income. What is Andy supposed to do? Create new music, and then not promote herself and her music? Prince was a walking billboard for his albums. He used his clothes to market NPG, and various albums. Andy has not done any wrong by offering her music to be downloaded for free. Prince also offered free downloads. Does that make him dishonest or the practice of free downloads is limited to Prince alone.


People who do not like Andy should stay away from her social media pages and not comment about her. She is not hurting anyone by marketing her music or promoting herself. It is blatantly unfair for certain Prince fans to direct their resentment about Prince having had a relationship with Andy, and giving her a platform to spring from. There are lots of women who are still mentally dating Prince who resent Andy because she had something they wish they could have had. It would be good for such women to be honest with themselves and get a life! Life is way too short for one to spend it on such negativity.

I've noticed over the past few weeks that Andy has deleted several of the photos of she and Prince from her twitter and she hasn't posted any more.She also didn't retweet the post from The Untitled magazine that mentions his name in the headline and used her own link to her Instagram post.She didn't talk much about him in the article but what she said about him was very nice.It seems she's beginning to distance herself a bit from him.I saw that Jamie Starr news on Youtube found an old interview she did in September 2015 and people were attacking her for a comparison the interviewer made of Prince and Michael,calling Prince a "miniature MJ," saying she should have corrected the man and defended Prince.Some were even acting as though Andy herself made the comment.Others criticized her for naming The Grand Progression as her favorite Prince song,saying she wanted to make it about her because she said he played it for her and she thought it was beautiful,something she has said since 2012.I thought she sounded very sweet and sincere.You could tell she still was tender toward him.She also said she was partial to Oui Can Luv and said that she and Prince did a few acoustic covers and she hoped they would be heard one day and a month later he released them briefly on Tidal.With her announcement Monday that she won't be doing as many Music Mondays,I wonder if she has read some of the criticism here and else where and decided to back off a bit.I hope she wouldn't allow a few naysayers to influence her decisions but it appears that may be the case.Some Prince fans were really enjoying connecting with her in that way and I hope she didn't let a few spoil it for those that were.She said her schedule was the reason but she always found a way to work around it before.She did say she would try to do a StageIt once a month and do a Music Monday every now and then.It seems a lot of fans like her and many consider her their favorite recent protege.Andy talked a lot more about him and their albums together in interviews when he was here than she does now..From what I have seen,it's painful for her to talk about him.She seems to have truly cared about him and I feel she's dealt with his passing with grace
