I can't imagine Prince being up in them charts anymore. I can't imagine him "winning", maybe nominated but not winning. Do you think Prince is a washed up old has been mainly wanted by his "fans"?


I do. He been there done that, Old news
but I find his fan's more entertaining then him .

Question: If you think Prince is a washed up old has been, YET you joined his fan site this month, what does that make you? Answer: PATHETIC!!

You have to step outside of that view and look at what the charts and commercial music is.

Prince still has a role in that industry, but it's a different role, just like it should be.

NO...he's just been around for a long time and you're confusing that.

right!


but, the thing is he can't go much further from where he is now. They have other people for that even, don't you think?

If being a washed up old has been is:

-Having the top tour of the year
-Having a platinum plus selling album
-Giving a most legendary performance at the Grammy's
-showing you are still vital as ever when being inducted into the Rock&roll hall of fame
-being on the cover of a multitude of major magazines and papers including Rolling Stone and USA Today
-Having an MTV, Vh1 and BET simulcast TV special
-Having the most successful concert/movie theater simulcast ever
-being nominated for as many Grammy's as you were during "Purple Rain"

then I think most musicians and singers wish they were a "washed up old has been" like Prince.

Prince has already won. Warner Bros. Records doesn't get a dime of the $87 million dollars Prince made with the #1 tour of 2004.
Yep, poor, pitiful, washed up Prince. Sad how his life took such a downturn.

87 million?


Great! I guess he can add that to the 127 Mill he had before musicology

Every artist who's ever been famous, popular and relevent eventually has to face a downward descent, you can't stay 'on top' forever. Well, Madonna's making a decent, some would say desperate, attempt, but apart from her. However, every artist creates a fanbase in which they will forever be relevent and important, and with Prince you have a legacy that is constantly being rediscovered by new, younger fans.

I was thinking the other day, most artists who get rich and famous, they build their own studio in their house, then go on to produce progressively duller and unimaginative music until they disappear. Prince never fell into that pattern, it is a credit to him that he has constantly pushed himself in the studio without the need for an external producer to inject new life.

Can Prince become universally popular again? Perhaps, for a year sometime, maybe. I mean, Carlos Santana had a hit record a while back, anything's possible.

I don't think you could ever call Prince a has been. I mean, if he was in the same room as you, you could never be blase about it...

Co-sign! Hear, hear! Very well put. We've had a hell of a year, huh? It's been something out of dreams.

After Musicology? NO. Musicology is Prince's comeback album. Prince got new fans with the Musicology video on MTV and the Grammys with Beyonce.

so he made a few bucks


what next?

Oh come on now, you KNOW you are a trouble maker, coming on to a Prince fan site and posting some dumb question like that. We come on here to discuss Prince, his music, and how he has impacted our lives. So give us a break...trouble maker
