I hear what you're saying. But regardless of whether or not the fair-weather fans really dug the last album, the Musicology tour reminded a lot of people of Prince's greatness. And because of that, I think many people will be inclined to give Prince another listen... provided the new music hits hard enough to keep people's attention... unlike Te Amo Corozon.

Prince only needs to do one thing on that list for the album to be a big hit and that's go on Oprah...in the 80's getting heavy rotation om MTV used to be the big thing to do now its to be on the Oprah show....

yeah.. the whole willy wonka thing sounds like a good idea. Im gonna have to buy a whole lot of CDs

I got your purple ticket hanging.

if any of this turns out...shit!

Ok, 1 half of me is estactic that this may be happening but the other half, you know, the one that's been spoiled by the hardcore afterparties, ONA-type concerts, etc., is having a temper tantrum. Im happy that Prince is coming back publicly...commercially...whatever stronger than ever but can't help but feel like musically he is far away again... Like the private jam's and stuff are well...fading away. It's sad...I sound like a possesive fam, but I dont care. Commercial Prince just isnt as fun as Private-make-fun-of-award-ceremonies-Prince.







At least he is going on tour though! Something to perk up about.

Unfortunately, this is the way it is nowadays. And as for Robbie Williams, whoeve it was that posted his face and stated that he would have been successful, remember, for a short time he was. He was at least the flavor of the month when Millennium and Angels was out. But "flavor of the month" is common place nowadays. That's why there's so much throwaway music. Now, I ain't saying prince is gearing up some throwaway stuff (god, I hope not) but where being risque in the early 80's got people's attention, now blatant exposure in the media gets you the same results.

If only a handful of the proposed items from the first post are done, then all is well. It should be successful on that alone, sad to say.

I would prefer to merit success on musical level and ingenuity. In that respect, Prince would most always fare well.

But, that's not the case nowadays. It must be force fed to young bucks who, unfortunately, wouldn't know good music if it wasn't slapped against their ears, and would barely recognize it if MTV said so.

It's just so "Josie and the Pussycats" nowadays. Watch that movie and you'll know that I'm talking about. Funny thing, that movie didn't do well in the theatres. I wonder why not...then again, maybe I really don't.

robbie williams was never the flavor of the month in the US.

That seems a pretty high price to pay for a little mutual understanding.

I am not sure why every is so skepitcal. Sony did a good job promoting the last project and I am sure Universal will do a good job with this. P's days of selling 10 million copies are over but if he can sell a few million and put out an enjoyable CD it's great.

Let's do a little dance for the peacock ass artwork! Nonetheless, I can't wait. I even had a little Prince-y dream last night. He stopped dying his hair and I told him, "You look really cute with some gray in your hair." He said, "You do, too," then winked at me.

Wow! All of this for an album that we all know is going to suck, just like every album (except exodus, gold experience and come) he's released since 1989.

If the album is going to be good, why all the hype?
Musicology made it without all this hype.

I see this information has been "rehabilitated"!

Oprah?! He's gonna be on Oprah again?! And 60 Minutes?!

"MAJOR '3121' TV Special in progress..."

Don't neglect the last part that says...

*** "Nothing is confirmed..." Says Spokesperson of Prince's camp NPGMusicClub.

Though they (NPGMC) stated that: This is a "wish list" Universal created and is using on a sales page 2 start taking orders from retail for the new album. We xpected it 2 b leaked online (because everything from Universal gets leaked eventually).

But again, "NOTHING is confirmed yet" *** - Says NPGMC

FIRST: kudos on the SPACE GIANTS avatar thingie....

2ND: it is not so much that i am neglecting it... i just think the whole thing is a big fat lie. that prince had not even seen that info and that it was all made up almost none of it is planned or in the works.

"I wrote this next song... while pouring syrup on Cat's body..."

i would be shocked if this list actually happened. i don't trust that list. it sounds way to good to be true.
As long as there's a tour coming....I'll be happy.

Universaluv said:

Thank God U Yankees have resisted the 'charms' of this Fat bastard , he aint nothin but a reject from a shitty boyband. The twat is nothin better than a PUB singer.. resist the machine that is the ROBSTER...

SPOOKYGAS said:

Every so often we do something right .

In the late 90's MTV had pretty much proclaimed that he was the next big thing to hit the US. Specials, interviews, award show performances, the whole nine.

He came, we saw, we sent him back.

Universaluv said:

NO NO NO.. take him back give him another listen ..please please we cant take much more of this JOKER... I have friends who swear he is TALENTED and others who no the truth (i.e. those who dont watch MTV VH1 Europe style) that this twat is having a laugh at our expense..jeezzz tha boy was the least talented in a very ordinary boy band.... accept him and he might bugger of to the States and I might get to listen to REAL music again over hear as the airwaves will be purified of this SHITE. Come on U are owe us 4 the Beatles, Stones, Bowie, Led Zepplin and the SPICE GIRLS.

HOLY CRAP!!!!! If I got a Purple Ticket, I would faint! I really hope they do this one, but the anxiety of waiting to hear the whereabouts of the tickets might kill me. It would be worse than Willy Wonka!

Universaluv said:

If only we took the same attitude..please take back The Pussycat Dolls..what a pile of steaming shite!..give me Robbie Williams anyday, if you see this guy in concert you would be changing your mind!
