Oprah Ellen Jay Leno Today Show Good Morning America TRL 106 & PARK or should he just release the next video on all music television networks!? | |

I think the more songs he plays from this album, the more people will realize how so-so it is. He may be okay with Fury, but the rest of the songs won't get much love. | |

I agree that some folks maybe taking the no.1 charting of 3121 as if it's the end all to be all...But on the other side of the fence there are folks who are doing some serious Debbie Downer...I mean, this was a thread covering what should be the midget's move TV wise...That's it... Just as some of the fans are going overboard with the "rubbing it in the haters' faces" shit (guys, you can be happy without gloating; it ain't that serious one way or the other...), TimeKeeper, you seem to be stalking every post that has anything remotely positive to say about the old man... Seriously dog, it's getting a little tired; and it's cool that some people joined this site to shit on the midget (I checked you out homie; it's all love though...)...But at least keep it honest because pretty soon, folks are just going to tune you out...; At the end of the day, both sides need to take it down a notch...especially, the cats who are out just to troll (what's up TimeKeeper?)...Peace and let's keep it all in perspective, people....

They are getting love from critics for the most part... If reviews didn't matter when they were negative, they shouldn't matter now. Great reviews won't mean much if the album disappears and no hits survive. | |

I'm pretty shocked that he hasn't booked a tv show this week. All you others say Hell Yea!!  | |

[Edited 3/28/06 22:16pm] If people like me didn't post their views, the threads would be one sided and sterile. What's good about that? I post my side just like you post yours. I'm just saying that if he plays piss poor songs on TV shows, it won't help him. | |

I think that's where you may be wrong...I think one song that can sneak up the charts is"Lolita" It has the vintage '80s groove that's all over the radio right now; and it's just a fun ass song in the vain of a "Raspberry Beret..." It can be a suprise hit; but knowing him he'll probably release "Satisfied" (LOL)...I'm hoping he makes the right move... [Edited 3/28/06 22:57pm] | |

Hey, at least we're having a dialogue...I still disagree....remember who the song is targeted towards: The pop crowd...I think the words corny and pop go hand and hand...that's it's appeal...The only way I want to see "Fury" is if the midget adds some more damn guitar to that song...As an album cut it's cool, but as a single it needs more kick....

Yeah, but even the dumbest pop songs that make it have some sort of catchiness to them. Lolita doesn't have that. I think it's the most irritating song on 3121. | |

Well to me the true test is when I play shit for my folks that either liked Prince during the Purple Rain days and can't be bothered with him today or friends that know of him but never cared to listen to his music...and a good portion of those folks find "Lolita" a catchy song...I think sometimes as Prince fans we become too insulated in how we relate to the man...If you are talking about the music charts, you have to think like a consumer in some regard... | |

I think it's the most irritating song on 3121. Which is why "Lolita" works in my humble opinion...It's a easy song to memorize and it has a catchy ass chorus....a straight-no-chaser song that gets to the point... [Edited 3/28/06 23:15pm] | |

Prince could easily play 3121, Te Amo (great live), Satisfied, Fury, The Word, BL&B, The Dance, and Get on the Boat live. I think you are incorrect. "You don't exist again. It's all taken away from you. Even for the richest, happiest and most beautiful people, they move into later life and get old where things start to break apart. They don't exist anymore and they will never exist again." Woody Allen | |

Great reviews won't mean much if the album disappears and no hits survive. The album has two hits already. Te Amo and Black Sweat. You can't expect Prince to have radio hits these days. Radio is controlled by Clear Channel. Clear Channel ignores Prince. I'd say Black Sweat is a favorite of many, judging from the comments from fans on MySpace. People that are not contributors of prince.org seem to enjoy it. Also, album sales are way down. Not many artists have staying power. Especially artists with no radio play. Shit, Parade wasn't a successful selling album either. I'd bet if you picked 100 people off the street, 1 or 2 at most would know anything about that album. But more than half would know about Purple Rain. So, is Parade not a great album? "You don't exist again. It's all taken away from you. Even for the richest, happiest and most beautiful people, they move into later life and get old where things start to break apart. They don't exist anymore and they will never exist again."

Just as some of the fans are going overboard with the "rubbing it in the haters' faces" shit (guys, you can be happy without gloating; it ain't that serious one way or the other...) Oh come on now! It's been years since Prince had a number 1 record. Everytime he didn't chart well the naysayers would be up in here going full force, declaring that Prince should just retire, he's through, he'll never make top 10 and hell would freeze over before he had a number 1. So if those of us who had to suffer through that nonsense for years finally get the chance to gloat and say we knew he still had it in him. LET US!!! Cuz you know good and well that if 3121 hadn't done well, we'd be overrun with "Told y'all it wasn't shit posts." Enjoy and don't feed the trolls, it's killing them enough to see us and Prince so happy, don't feed them and they'll go away.  | |

Umm...no. Most of P's songs sound better live, even his mediocre songs. LOTP sounded good as hell live, but didn't have the same bite on record. | |

Oprah Ellen Jay Leno Today Show Good Morning America TRL 106 & PARK or should he just release the next video on all music television networks!? How about all of the above? He needs to be everywhere. This is THE BEST TIME to be going on these shows. I'm not a fan of "old Prince". I'm not a fan of "new Prince". I'm just a fan of Prince. Simple as that | |

Sure Parade is a great album, and we all know what a huge hit Kiss was. Even 20 years later, that song gets played everywhere. What song from 3121 will be played everywhere 20 years from now? | |
