I really don't get the posts about no one wants to see her. You know upfront it ain't a Prince show so dammit, don't go. And, please, for the love of all that's sacred, don't come on here bitching about how Prince didn't perform enough.  Exactly. That is why I'm not going, even though I hesitated not to go.

I'm aware of that. I guess for me, I'd rather have my introduction to her cost $10.99 for a CD versus $30 for the ticket to a show. That's just me. I'm pretty picky with my concertgoing. Why am I feeling the need to explain myself to death? | |

People who can sing I think are really facinating...expecially when you see them live!  | |

Anyone else going? YAY! I'm going to see them in Minneapolis! I'll be there too!!! Can't wait for the show. There should be a get together before the show somewhere near The Orpheum. 'You must first be a Prince before you can be King'

Cool. Do you think anything will be going on at Paisley Park after the show? I heard Prince's aftershows are legedary. | |

That would rock, considering I missed one on the Musicology tour. | |

 It is possible to not dig Tamar without any racial connotations, you know. This isn't tamar.org after all.
That said, I hope the shows go well for her. I'd be interested to see her in a real live setting as opposed to TV performances. Feel free to join in the Prince Album Poll 2018! Let'a celebrate his legacy by counting down the most beloved Prince albums, as decided by you! | |

I went to the Tamar show here in NY. Of course I went because Prince was going to be there and I really wasn't thinking much about Tamar. But I really enjoyed the show! There were times I stopped staring at Prince to watch Tamar, especially when she did certain songs. The show was really good and I think that Tamar has talent. I only wish she did more of her own songs, though the ones that I heard were pretty good. They do a lot of covers. Yes, Prince is singing and playing backup but he gets in some great guitar solos!!! Go to the show with an open mind and you will have a good time!  To GOD be the Glory! | |

Certainly! But liking Tamar shouldn't ever be considered a prerequisite to being racially unbiased. Feel free to join in the Prince Album Poll 2018!

I mean, damn, the girl deserves a chance. But people are treating her like a damn Litmus test for racial harmony! Feel free to join in the Prince Album Poll 2018! Let'a celebrate his legacy by counting down the most beloved Prince albums, as decided by you! | |

Yes, it's very possible, but it's also very obvious that there's a certain segment of Prince's fanbase that wants P's band and associates to look a certain way. | |

That would rock, considering I missed one on the Musicology tour. I'm sure hoping to hear an announcement after the concert about an after party at Paisley Park. It would be a great idea! Maybe have a 3121 listening party so we can get a sneak peak. Keep your fingers crossed! [Edited 2/24/06 6:50am] 'You must first be a Prince before you can be King'
