this is prince's year. i think he stands a chance at winning this one.

When and where will this air on TV? I want to see if my baby wins.!

Wow!. I swear I'd thought I'd never see the day where Prince got nominated for an MTV video award.



but seriously , we all know USHER will win this one. MTV is riding him bigtime.

Now don't say that. Itmay look that way, but you never know. There are still lots of Prince Fams out there in this world.

Well, with Jay-Z, Usher and Justin Timerlake going for the same award, I think it's safe to say Prince doesn't stand a chance. But the nomination alone is a big thing, considering where Prince was just 6 months ago.

you'd be surprised at what sony/columbia's money can buy.

Ehm, what timetable are we talking about?

Video nominations for 2004? Or 2nd half of 2003 with first half of 2004?

Xpertlover said:

maybe he could pull a lionel richie album of the year --you know all the other nominees split the votes and the 25 votes he gets could be enough

No chance of winning.
This is Usher's year.

SquarePeg said:

That's cool 2 see MTV nominate him for ANYTHING (I think us orgers had a lot 2 do with it)! I was also happy 2 see Jay-Z's "99 Problems" getting a ton of nominations. I love that song! Total old-school hardcore type rap. I also kinda like that No Doubt song.

But, what I'm REALLY looking 4ward 2, is the performance by Jessica Simpson! She has the talent of Mozart and the voice of an angel (on helium).

Luv & Peace,
Alex
Clubbin' in Mpls/A Night w. Prince

well if prince had not let us down and released musicology it would probably have recieved even more recognition, but i dont think hes bothered,do u

anotherloverholenyourhead said:

he knows what hes puttin out is good stuff and its peoples choice 2 listen and not have it rammed down there throats( i dont think a little media/advertising would harm his career thou )..any way dum dee dum..

Question is ?? Will Prince COME to MIAMI for this? That would be COOL if he ACTUALLY did SOMETHING LIVE down here...

Zelaira said:

My guess is, he'll be traveling to Seattle for his two-night tour stop...Hallelujah! I'm going to the August 30 concert!
