Do u think Prince is fake or real?

I can't figure out if Prince is a really deep, good person inside or if he is a fake phoney like alot of celebrities. I know a guy who met Prince at a PP party a while ago and he said..."Ugghh just the way he acted. Like he was always acting" Not truely him but just how Prince thinks Prince should act. I totally understand that celebs have hectic lives and everyone wants to talk to them...get something from them...they definatly do have to protect themselves and I can respect that plus I know they have an image to present...but I just can't see him being a fake person with all the deep, honest lyrics he writes. There have been so many lines that just make me think he his a deep, feeling person and there is nothing phoney about him. But then...I don't know...I really hope this is coming out right. Sometimes he has done or said things that just make him come off as an egocentric star that only cares about his career and I don't know...does he live his whole life as this "Prince" image every second? How can someone live like that?

he's insecure is all - imo

insecurity makes a person act all kinds of different ways

he's been conditioned by the system

so it makes being fake a hard habit to break

i believe his real with his music - most of it

the humble stuff is real

the arrogant stuff not so sure



great post btw

Thank u! hug Great honest response!

I was thinking this because during his different incarnations he has changed alot. Which I am totally cool about. I change every year too. But it's just...Ok I'll try to explain this best I can...during every one of his new "era" he always seems to do a 180. Yeah I know, I know..he's a Gemini I know but it's like Do u just do everything for your career? Or are you for real??

Like during the whole D&P era...his rapping, and getting more urban....

Then his whole slave era...he practicaly showed up to every event interview with a bad addittude and victim mentanlity..like the Tora Tora interview, We are the world thing...

Then the JW thing...and the I got to bring "real" music back, no sexuality in the shows...

Now the 3121 thing with Tamar...sexy dancers again, using synths...

Please don't get me wrong...I love Prince....I like the fact that he goes in different directions and everyone has the right to grown and change...but sometimes I feel like he is just manipulating us and creating a new "Prince" every few years. Like it is all marketing. I really hope he isn't like that...and if he changes every few years in his thinking, additude, belifes, ect...I think that is great and he should keep his open mind (which I love about him) I'm just saying I hope he REALLY feels that way deep down inside and not just thinking up a new image to sell his records. I like him just the way he really is...which I think is the guy in the music and lyrics...and he doesn't have to be this fake, phoney Prince with all this hype. I hope when he changes his image it is because honestly feels he made a transion in his heart.

Prince is real, one day soon, he will come out from his coocoon and he will be the most beautiful butterfly ever seen.

Prince is real. If you trust me, trust me on this.
News: Prince pulls his head out his ass in the last moment.
Bad News: Prince wasted too much quality time doing so.

He's real when it comes down 2 music and music is all that counts
His image and arrogance is cool too actually, but not essential so who cares if that's 'real' if an image is supposed 2 b 'real' anyway...

if u want 2 look at the ultimate fakeness: madonna nowadays! cool

refreshing to talk with U Krystal666

im not sure its so much about Prince manipulating us - although i do understand what u mean

he's the one who'z been manipulated
his whole life
by the industry
and everything it entails

it does things to a persons mind
one day they have a certain truth
the next day they have another

there is no mentl stability
becuz they do not live in a real stable world

it is very sad to me
becuz I do love his music
and of course him

but like you
i'm not one to relieve him of his responsibilities
to be consistent

if he were a 10 year old boy
the contradicitons would be forgivable
but that he is a grown adult
paints a different picture

the grown adults i know
take responsibility for their mistakes
they dont keep trying to cover them up
with new slogans

Prince is a genius for sure
but he is part of the Old Era
and like i said
i really just think that the dark side of that industry
is a very hard thing to shake
when u've been in it so long

its kind of a shame he doesnt read the Knowledge Forum
on his own website
there are lots of really smart people there
with clear heads
giving info he could have benefited from

but actors are only listening
when ur talking about THEM
which is why he mainly only visits the U Tell Us Forum

sweet thing
all chewed up by Hollywood

I'm sure his music will continue to live on in people's hearts
long after he's gone
thats the main thing i guess

and u know it aint like he aint had every opportunity to embrace the simple life
maybe in some ways he thinks he has a job to do
to revitalise the music industry
but unfortunately he doesnt have the connection to what it really takes
to do that
without looking like a hypocrite

others could have helped him
but he wont listen
he's male remember
wants to be seen to be 'on top of it'

He's a gemini, just like me, and we have this two sides. I can be quite shy and stand-offish and people who don't really know me perceive me as either shy or just arrogant. Sometimes I'm just tired of some people thinking I'm a prude and them all shocked when they hear that I like someone like Prince. I don't really understand where they get that from... But the most important thing is that the people close to me know who I really am and I'm HOT batting eyeslol

Hm. I'm NOT a Gemini but I'm exactly the same way - shy, introverted, standoffish and sometime others perceive that (and me) as being rude or anti-social, when really I'm not. I know a few other people who are NOT Geminis and that description fits them, as well.

He is an icon. You dont reach that status without strategic fakeness. He is as real as he needs to be. Especially on stage.

Same here. If I had a dollar for everytime someone called me anti-social (amoung many other things) I'd be rich. I have different faces that I present in different situations. In this life sometimes you just have to carry yourself that way. Also in situation where I don't know people I tend to listen and watch people (yes people think I'm weird lol) but that's the only way I know how to look out for the folks that have an agenda. There are very few people in my life that actually get to see me, be me.

I've always assumed P has to do the same thing to the tenth power being a celebrity and all.

I just think he is trying to protect himself. I think he is extremely shy and only very few in his inner circle know him well. But I don't think anyone really, really knows him well.

in life we operate on 3 levels-at one point or another:

1)who we THINK we are
2)what we want OTHER PEOPLE TO THINK WE ARE.
3)who we REALLY are.
