If he gets off his skinny bottom and promotes the freaking thing!

DId Prince outsell Maddy on Musicology?

If you look at it it's easy. Madonna only does a handful of dates in each region. This time she's doing Europe, North America, and Asia.

I really doubt if he is going to tour. I mean its Memorial Day Weekend almost and not a peep of dates or cities, the only thing ive heard is some GMA thing with Tamar and the Las Vegas Thing with the Time.


With the lack of promotion/hype and the plummeting of 3121 in the charts I think its just not something P is concerned bout.

He's either moved on to something else or just relaxing.

If anything does happen its just going to be a couple of Large Cities, maybe a 5 to 7 city East/West Coast thing.

I would love to see him tour, cause i skipped musicology, but the silence speaks volumes.

There'll be no real tour.
He's lost his fire.
He's well past his prime now and he's just coasting.
Sad but true.


Welcome to The Hef Years...

He need to come to Europe.....3121 was promoted heavily in Ireland for example, but now it is not even in the top 100 !!!

I'm always up for a Prince concert, but Madonna's shows are on a completely different level. She's doing the 2006 version of a Lovesexy stage show and he's still plain stage Hit n'Run sets. It's apples and oranges, really. Not a fair comparison for either of them.

I knew the Lovesexy show,

The Lovesexy show was a friend of mine.

Confessions is no Lovesexy.


R.I.P

sadly, no tour (of prince's) since lovesexy is lovesexy. prince hasn't had a fire in him to do an intense live show in well over a decade (damn near two). confessions may be no lovesexy but at least she's still outdoing herself with each outing.

lazycrockett said:

AMEN! I knew Lovesexy and it saw live, too. What I'm saying is he set the bar with incorparting theatricality into a rock concert. And he's never gone that route again. Madonna ripped off the idea for Blond Ambition, and has perfected the genre.

madartista said:

I also agree. I saw Confessions opening night. Great show, she works it out. But it is definitely no Lovesexy. As with Madonna, we are entering the end game for our favorite purple man. Will he play forever....absolutely....will it ever be the same???? Never!!

This stupid Tamar fixation is ruining what could be great promotional activity for this album - and a possible tour - and it's downright aggravating.

I'm starting to feel like he ain't gonna tour this year. Not a big world tour. Which is just stupid if you got a new album out, an album that has been nr1 on the charts. And I thought P loved to perform. Tamar is taking too much time. She should give him a kick in the behind!

He only performs every few albums. DO you think it will be a big tour where he performs all his hts or an initmate concert where he only does his latest material.

Oh No, U didnt....here's wot I mass mailed on the 3121 chart debut...

Got yer umbrellaz? U betaz. Itz Reigning again. Hall of Fame Purple.

Prince topped the charts in 2004 w/his Musicology CD, (#3 Billboard Hot 100) and the #1 selling tour, Musicology, a 69-city, 96-date tour, which filled the most seats, 1.43 million, & grossed the most sales, $87.4 million, of 2004.

3121, the new xperience from Prince, debuts 2day on the Billboard Hot 100 at #1. Rleased on 3/21; 3121 hits without a tour, with sparse promotion/radio/video play, it wasn't available on iTunes. (a digital release is pending). the xperience was leaked online on 3/06.

2006. Remember Me. Remember Prince.

The highest grossing tours of 2004, released by Pollstar:

1. Prince, $87.4 million (Hilton Coliseum, Ames)*
2. Celine Dion, $80.4 million
3. Madonna, $79.5 million
4. Metallica, $60.5 million
5. Bette Midler, $59.4 million (Mark of the Quad Cities, Moline)*
6. Van Halen, $54.3 million
7. Kenny Chesney, $50.8 million
8. Sting, $50.1 million
9. Toby Keith, $43.7 million
10. Elton John, 43.3 million

Is he going to tour? I would love to see him perform again. I saw him many, many years ago with Sheila E.

If he would tour with this cd, I would be in heaven. And if Janet Jackson tours, ....to see Prince and Janet in the same year, well, words can't describe.

Don't even get me started on Madonna. If a person can't say something nice, then don't say it at all. (Although, I've made a few observations in some of threads that were critical of Madge.) But this isn't one of them. I'm just not a huge fan of hers.
