It's over for me folks!!!

u know there was a time when i use to get real excited about P; albums, tours, etc..

not anymore, he is still odd as ever even more so now who is on career destruction path which can't be stopped and it seems he could give a shit either..

let's face it he hasn't put out a good album since TGE, the music he puts out now is just plain cheesey from lyrics and boring sprinkled with some gems here and there.

it's also he doesn't really care about us..his fans. What he needs to do, take a couple years off, find himself or a really good shrink and get it together, then make a "comeback".At this rate he'll being playing Vegas with Tom Jones and Tony Bennet

Avasdad:

I'm sure you know Prince has always been mysterious, nothing new. That's what keeps most fans interested in him. Anticipating his next move. Hey, if it's over for you fine. I happen to love this last album. That's just it. We all have different tastes. Even if his next album is considered a success you will always find someone who is not pleased with it. Imagine trying to please every single soul. That's not going to happen. I say if you're tired of him, then there's other artists, but I truly don't think it's over for him and that he'll end up like the ones you mentioned. Destruction path? lol , No way. The man does what he wants because he can and will always have fans. Losing a few won't matter, there will be another to take their place.

The man is a living legend and well-respected artist. I don't know any other artist from his time that can still fill a stadium, so sorry, I just don't agree with you.

For those that believe that P doesn't care about his fans, what would he have to do to prove that he does?

I will sum up Prince's music..
It's like taking a piss...
sometimes it's long and boring...
sometimes it short and nothing special
and sometimes it's good enough "for the shake" and "chill" which is the best!!

why is Prince caring about his fans a huge issue 'roun here anyway? Dig the music, have fun at the concerts, ponder the many "mysteries" of his intentions and directions.....

...and goddamn, get over it already!!! I doubt seriously that he would piss on anyone here if they were on fire....wouldn't know u from a can of paint...and if I'm wrong in saying that (cuz I know some of u have met the man and chilled with him and whatnot) then I apologize....but it just comes off as whining to me.....

...sorry, but thats how I feel right now....not h8n, just st8n

the fans who feel that way refuse to empathize with the fact that he has so many to please. Besides... even if he adhered to every request greedy bastids still wouldn't be happy.

If TGE (released 11 years ago) is the last good album he made in your opinion why then did you become a member of p.org in February of this year?

don't take it as a personal attack...cuz its not...hug..I was speaking in general terms cuz this isn't the first time the idea of Prince giving a shit has been raised.....

,...trust me, there are times when I've wanted to drive over some of his music...and in that vein, if Prince would owe me something, it would be a new tire because Chaos and Disorder went down fighting.....so I feel u....but when I get like that, I just hang out over at the GD forum.... biggrin

We(the fans) have a business relationship with P. He creates music. We either buy it or we don't.

I bet P regrets the day he decided to call his fans, fam(short for family)...because there seems to be quite a few people that seriously think that they have a personal relatioship with the man.

I know how you feel. I went through the same thing after Diamonds and Pearls and after that, I walked away. I came back after Musicology. That concert kind of whipped me back and reminded me why I love his music.

It all depends on what moves you. I'm just a different person right now and sales and hype just don't cut for me. Although his recent CDs are not like his earlier ones (and yes some were very bad), within each CD, there are a few precious "gems" and when you add that to Prince's incredible live shows, it keeps me going. Right now, no-one else moves me that way. So I'm enjoying while I can until I encounter another artist who does the same.

But I think others raised a good point. It's definately your right to be here, no doubt, but if someone has not dropped a good CD in 11 years, and you think he's weird and does not care about his fans, well why join his fansite. I'm always curious about this.
