Guess her album won't even come out after all and she'll become another use and throw away woman for Prince. As someone said earlier, she sure gives good head, otherwise...

I guess none of y'all had the chance to see the Tamar concert. I'll tell you why he's hyping her, IMO: She can sing and she can entertain. I mean REALLY entertain. She's a musician who doesnt' do an aerobics routine to 140 beats per minute while lip-synching.

She connects with the audience. Hopefully, that will sell.

Maybe because Tamar is like the only one of Prince's women who has real singin' power. Carmen, Apples, and Vanity to name a few were sexy but couldn't sing and had real voice that came from your stomach like Tamar and had that soul that today's music has. Plus she's sexy, pretty and has that booty, so that's the whole package.

But that don't compute when it comes 2 Y-O-U.

She looks pretty good to me. She's no Mayte (cannot find a flaw in this woman, I've tried), but she's not bad looking.

I don't know. She seems to be the most hyped protege of his career. He never let anyone else share the stage of a TV performance like he did with SNL. He never toured with a protege as a backing musician like he has with her...

except with Larry G...unfortunately!

Say what you like about Larry G but protege? Seriously? eek

As for Tamar, I just figured she was a Jehovahs Witness and he was helping her out the best he could. I highly doubt there's anything sexual.

You know people can never believe that Prince choices in life doesn't
have to be COMPLICATED all the time .

Just like TurnItUp said he may have found a protege he
believes in. sigh Can you believe it could be
that simple?

That's a good point sosgemni. He is not looking at his past behavior it seems
that he wants people to grow up with him and follow him in the same direction that he is going and that direction is forward, but so many want him to stay in reverse. neutral

People have to remember...he is not the Prince he was 10, 20 years ago. He is older and wiser in his years. And I agree w/ Roses, people want him to be the 20-30 year old Prince walking around in underwear and high heels, doing splits and screaming about sex.

Its pretty simple...he found someone who has talent and natural beauty, and wants to promote them to the world. Why should her being a JW (or if she is one) has to do with it?

Prince probably had this planned 5 years ago. Remember at the start of the Musiclogy Tour he said after this "hits" tour he'd put them aside for new things? (I'm paraphrasing badly but that's the gist of it.)

So after the huge sucess of the "Musicology" tour he can expand his palette and produce another artist.

Even though Prince is quiet now when he does show up with a tour and Tamar's CD people are going to go crazy because he's hitting on all cylinders.

It seems odd to us but P is thinking about the long run.

Watch, his sales and airplay will skyrocket (by today's standards) when the tour starts. Prince is always five years ahead of everybody so it's a risk that will probably work.

The only thing that will botch it up is if he doesn't tour. Or tries to make another movie. With two bands fighting over the house gig at Kingdom Hall with Larry as the Elder in charge of the Hall.

"Hey, what's this one song stuff baby brother? We can't pass the collection plate while you play one song. Get On The Boat? You need to get on the stage. Better yet, I'LL do it. (Larry takes to the stage with GCS 144,000)

"Brothas and Sisters. We want to thank you for that $7 offering but we want you to reach back into those pockets and "Release Yourself" (Keyboard chord sounds) As a matter of fact I think it's time we do "The Jam"

how is ignoring one's own album growth? i just dont get this arguement...i could understand if we were discussing prince's artistic changes but we are talking marketing here...and not even his own....

and prince isnt a religion or a political movement...i *observe* and react this his career...i dont follow anyone but myself.

That's your own opinion. At least Tamar can sing way better than the other bitches he had, that just had sex appeal but could't really sing.

We don't know what is really going on behind the scene. We
should just be patient and see. "Good things come to those who wait."
The music is out there listen to it if you need that 'fix', but in the
meantime just let Prince handle his business. Now if I knew some of that
money he was making from this 3121 project was going into my pockets too then I would be stressing at this point, 'Hey Prince you're messing up my money get out and promote do something !!!' x3!! lol But since it's not and I already have the music there's nothing else I/we can do but be patient. Hey, it could be worse, we could be waiting on that Katrina song that MJ has been putting out for the longest. confused or some other
bad situation we could be dealing with at this time. We just hope everything
is okay ,but no news is good news they say.

Prince is loving that everyone is working up a black sweat over him. Way
to boost his ego even more. wildsign

So let's continue to move forward and enjoy the music. bananadance

It's kind of ironic that...fifteen years ago people were like mad at Prince for promoting bimbos who didn't have musical talent, and felt like Why is he wasting his talent on her just because that is is girlfriend?, he should be spending more energy into promoting Rosie Gaines...

..now Prince is putting all his energy into a young lady who actually has talent and he is giving her good songs to sing, isn't selling her as a sex object and people are all WTF? lol

nah nah...its cool he is hyping her..whats odd is that he is doing it at the expense of his own album....and unlike RosesRed I personally think its a normal and healthy reaction..the fans look forward to hit and run shows of prince...tv appearances to watch...magazine interviews...and we are getting none of that at the moment...why? well, it looks like its because he is helping this chick get her career started...

and folks are curious why...thats all.

He either has an emotional investment in her or he's being shrewed and he is using a female soul vocalist to get more hype for him and his career.I think he knows the climate of the music industry is MUCH different than in the eighties..he may just be thinking he has to sell his music in a different way. Less directly I guess. Hmmmm what is that shrewd buisness man up to?
hmmm

he can't get no hype for either of their careers by disappearing.
there has gotta be some emotional level type involvement here. prince ain't never stepped outta the spot light to let somebody else shine. even if it is not a girlfriend kinda thing.

Maybe he lost the ring. It was bound to happen. When you take it off and on
your chances of losing it is much higher. Trust me I know. You also have him throwing his ring to Takumi? (correct spelling?) when he is performing on stage isn't a good thing either to do, it was awesome to watch and see him able to catch the ring, but I often wondered what if he didn't catch it. Would he lose his job? Maybe he is going to wait until his touring days are over before
he buys another one. Now there is something else we have to wait and see.

I am being OPTIMISTIC people.
Never give up on a good thing.
