It's all just a matter of opinion, but like Prince's new music or no, people still come here and talk about him whether negative or postive. I'm not a big fan of Prince's new music, but I'll still stick within him as a fan. He's interesting, he keeps us talking and when people keep talking, they keep thinking about you and they buy your stuff. That's how Prince makes money.

I have to give Prince a lot of credit. For all the negative press he's gotten over his lack of hit music and the many people who say they aren't fans of his new stuff and that he needs to get more this or more that, they still come here and many of those people will still try and go see Prince play live. That's not an easy task because most artists who don't make music people don't like, don't manage to keep that type of attention. Out of all the music people out there doing it, successful or has beens, Prince has to have the best fan base out of all of them. I've been coming to the .org for a long time now and I go to other musicians' websites, but Prince does have the best fans out there. They come in all colors, all backgrounds, with a variety of musical interests. Most famous artists out there usually only attract one or a few types of people and if you don't fit in with them, you aren't gonna be able to hang on their message boards.

So who cares if a fan can't let go and wishes Prince goes back to being his old self, these people are still coming here and giving the man attention and that's what it's all about.

Here's what's scary:

people who don't like what he's done since Lovesexy

people who always complain no matter what he does

people who won't/ can't accept Prince for what he was, what he's become or what he
will become....

and yet they're STILL HERE.

so u say u'll b glad when he gets his shit 2gether? his shit didnt stop him from selling out concerts, being a grammy winner, and entering the rock hall of fame. so where r all the tired folkz? they sure dont make a difference when it's time 2 tally up the votes! hmmm,just wondering.


Prince did well last year because of the hits. PERIOD!


You better change that Period to a comma, because Prince did well last year because he is the baddest Artist that was on tour last year, Because people are getting tired of the same old thing, because he gives the whole package, and because Warner didn't try to sabotage him last year,(everytime a new Prince Record comes out W/B release a best of Prince) or start some lame story about Prince being crazy etc. Last year they left him alone. He also did good last year because music lovers Love music and no one does it better than Prince. And yes he did the hits but it was more to it than that.
How you gonna get my back when you fronting.

You can be scared if you want but i'm a only FAN.

To be a true FAM wouldn't you have to be a JW?


Not at all.

All you need is to make comments like, "I can't let go because Prince plays the funkiest music in the universe. He connects the spiritual with the material world. "


I can make any comment that i like trying to describe how i feel and it doesn't make me a FAM. There have been many issues that come up that exclude me from being anything but a FAN.

Sorry, Evil i for one do not feel like that. Prince never disappoints those who have no expectations.


wow, life must suck for those who have no expectations. are you devoid of emotion? do you wake up and not care what the day holds, so you won't be disappointed? do you not make the bed so you won't be disappointed if it isn't perfect? or not care what you order for lunch so you don't get your hopes up about liking it and are not disappointed?

you may have made the comment to seem somewhat enlightened about life, but you only reveal that you have serious issues. what are you scared of in life that you eliminate all expectations so as to eliminate any disappointment. without expectations, you eliminate excitement as well as disappointment. poor, boring soul. you need serious help.


Thank You for Your concern dumbass.

But in reality what i strive for are hopes and dreams that can be fulfilled. There's a difference between expectations and what someone might hope for.

PS. I have expectations for my own life not expectation of other peoples lives. And i admit it, somedays i don't even make the bed.

No. The majority of JWs don't listen to Prince or are fans, let alone fams.


Thanks for clearing that up Housequake2K2. I guess i assumed too much because of behavior i've witnessed by some JW's on this site and others. I stand corrected.

No, PERIOD. Who the fuck went to see a Prince concert because they thought Musicology was the bomb?

because Prince did well last year because he is the baddest Artist that was on tour last year,

According to who? I saw concerts that were way better last year. Just because he made a shit load of money, that doesn't mean he put on the best show.

Because people are getting tired of the same old thing,

So why would they go to a Prince concert to hear the hits?

because he gives the whole package,

What whole package? Seems he missed a lot of key ingredients.

and because Warner didn't try to sabotage him last year,

When have they ever tried to sabotage him?

(everytime a new Prince Record comes out W/B release a best of Prince)

What the fuck are you talking about? That's bullshit.

or start some lame story about Prince being crazy etc.

Prince IS crazy. Even his fans know that. Is this news to you?

Last year they left him alone. He also did good last year because music lovers Love music and no one does it better than Prince.

FAM FAM FAM FAM FAM FAM FAM FAM!!!!!

And yes he did the hits but it was more to it than that.

Like what? Please give examples.

Prince said he didn't wanna call his fans "fans" because that's short for fanatic. So instead he calls them "fams" which is short for family.

It's completely ridiculous to begin with, but what makes it worse is that some people actually like to call themselves fams. And that's how you weed out the fans and the obsessed freaks.

That's Funny!

I always thought the obsessed freaks were the ones that don't like anything past 1990, can't stand the fact he's a JW, swore up and down after NEWS Prince was washed up and would NEVER, EVER have the kind of popularity he's enjoyed this past year.

Still, they're at every concert, buy every bit of music they can get their hands on, released or otherwise. Then they show up here daily to let us all know how disappointed they are with anything Prince does that doesn't conform to the way they want him to be.

i dont understand why theres so much hatin with his albums and material released post 1991..

classix:d&p,symbol,gold experience ,come,new power soul ar in my opinion as good as anything released in the 80s,but he omits such a different energy in these albums,

the songs are dense and layered and are far more complex than anything of the 70s and 80s songs he released

but,thats not taking anything away from the old material

simply put

PRINCE MATURED

I will admit tho,that musicology is a very mediocre album compared to anything hes released b4 ,,,i find rave better and thats an album i dont really listen to much cos it sux to be honest with the xception of a few songs


rainbow children should have been a style he stayed with ,

he brought back the funk with that album and lost it again ,,


i listen to 4 u and then i put on say,new power soul n i still get the same feeling ,,

i think hes made a few bad decisions musically starting with pulling the black album,but hes only human,,or is he??haha

mayb i need to go back n listen to it,but with the exception of MR MAN,i think only musicolgy is his shittest album

i mean,i love the vault
,come,and chaos n disorder the albums most commonly dissed by fanz


they all hold a specialplace in my heart n soul

PRINCE:THE SOUNDTRACK TO LIFE ITSELF


have i said enuff ,,???
they know this is serious... I aint fuckin just 4 kicks...."
