She knew the side she saw, that's all. No one is telling you to take her view as gospel. Such childish behaviour in here.

Sorry but she will be criticized just as much as Prince was on this site. I know, it sucks doesn't it.

Ha! Criticism would be fine, that's not what gets posted though. Like the Prince in the Studio book, all views from those involved should be aired, and even then we'll never know the truth.

If you listened to the interview, I could see why Prince found her annoying, because she makes claims for which she provides not proof. She's just guessing. She should just stick to the technicalities of how he produced each song. The way she talked about Dorothy Parker and how he chose to keep that off-sound, out of tune melody was briliant and actually made the song was fine. If you listen to Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis and how they desribe the production of each Janet song, they are careful to not speak too much about her personal life , even on the Velvet Rope songs. I guarantee the day a journalist put Susan in her place she'll never speak like that again unless she can back it up.

Well put, especially the bold. It is not her place to discuss Prince's personal aspects of the songs, but if she absolutely must, it should at least reflect the last thing he said about the songs.

Nonsense, she can say what she likes. She's a person not a machine, she's allowed her opinions and her own experiences. If you want a technical interview then ask technical questions.

I agree that an interviewer should do their homework and maybe query some of her stuff if we have differing accounts but I'd imagine she wouldn't respond well to "YOU AND WENDY ARE THE DEVIL. THAT'S MY QUESTION".

And we can say what we like, especially since the interview did not inquire more about her statements. Where did I say anything about Susan and Wendy being the devil?

Yeah, yeah and I can tell you to stop moaning if I want, we've established that we can all say what we want.

Go back and read your posts. You're the only one moaning and calling people names because your feelings are hurt over comments I made about Susan Rogers, which to me are justified.

I don't really give a damn about you specifically joindate december 2017, I was addressing the thread as a whole. Why not tell me what I think some more though?

Actually you do give a damn otherwise you wouldnt be "moaning" and calling names. I'm calling out your actions not thoughts. And the join date is december 2007. Learn to READ properly.

Ha! my bad fair enough

What are my actions again? Saying that Susan Rogers is allowed have her opinions? What is being called out here exactly?

For saying people are childish and calling people's opinions nonsense. If you can say she is allowed to have her opinions, we should be allowed to say she should stick to what she knows technically especially when she provides no proof or reasons behind her opinion, especially since Prince himself says she dont know anything about his music. Even if you dont believe what Prince says, its my right to agree or not to agree with him and/or Susan Rogers.

oh lord, this is gonna go round and around. Susan Rogers has a right to talk about her own experiences, you have a right to disagree and tell her what she is and is not allowed to talk about in interviews, I have a right to tell you I think you're talking nonsense and to disagree with you, you have a right to tell me to stop trying to quiet you, I have a right to tell you to stop trying to quiet me and so on forever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever in my life.

There's a flaw in your statement. I never tried to quiet you.

Uh huh, and I still think y'all should stop moaning.

This has turned into a fantastic thread

Yes it has. and forming an opinion is not moaning. leave your emotions out of the discussion.

Actually no, keep showing your emotions. It's more funny.

In the words of the great KCOOL

According to PRINCE, Susan Rogers IS LESS INFORMED.

According to Prince Emancipation was the album he was born to make and Parade isn't that good.

I could see why he felt that way given what he had to go through to create it, as much as I disagree with his opinion.

Cause Prince never waffled or changed his mind. You act like he’s not a human being. Most people can’t see everything in their life without a bias.

What does your statement have to do with anything? Every human on this planet is biased, including Susan Rogers.

This woman has no idea what was in his head. I am thankful Prince was able to speak for himself in 2015 and in the Piano and Mic tours.

.

Susan is clearly talented but her breaking down the lyrics are one sided- she is all about Susannah - which I guess makes sense for Susan without knowing he was still seeing Vanity and others so . . . her assumptions are simply her opinions and not fact.

.

We have found out since Prince died he was seeing Jill, Denise, and others while "engaged" to Susannah. In fact we have songs attributed for decades to Susannah that were not for her at all.

.

I never understood how the mythology about Susannah inspiring all these songs came about. I now know it came from Susan Rodgers, the Melvoins and Lisa and then people took their word and ran with it as fact. However, we are finding out none of them really knew Prince as they claimed because dear sweet Prince had a whole different world he maintained without them. Prince clearly had a public/private/secret life. There will be debates forever because these people want us to believe one thing when there is so much evidence that does no coincide with Susan's hypothesis of inspiration for the songs.

.

I respect Susan and her place in Prince's legacy but she is speaking without having the knowledge or not acknowledging the totality of what was really going on in Prince's life at that time.

Thank u. Very well put!! Prince himself had went off on Susan Rogers in interviews. She only knew the side of Prince that he let her see. She's very bias. She speaks highly of Wendy Lisa Susannah the Leeds Revolution because those are the people she relate to. Its unfair to credit these people as the power the most talented behind Prince there are many others who influenced and encourage Prince. Your always gonna get a onesided view from Susan Rogers. Sometimes I just wish she would shut up!!! Just my opinion.

when did Prince go off on Susan Rogers?
