The new poll question on the front page of this website asks such a question as this.

I don't believe Prince has "sold out" in his Vegas show, but that's the option I took because it was a little generic.

I feel this is another step down however, but anyone that would be honest would realize Prince is been in a sharp decline for over a decade now.

RIP
Prince.

Whatever. With "The Rainbow Children" Prince had a creative jump start. With "Musicology" he had a commercial jumpstart that has carried through to this year ("3121" being his 1st #1 album in years is proof of that). I'd take Prince's career now over the Symbol years anytime.

And I disagree.

Also disagree, if anyone's gonna take it 2 anutha level or find anutha avenue 4 his music, it's PRINCE. A lot of people r saying he's following Celine Dion, I prefer 2 think he's following in the footsteps of THE KING - and by that I don't mean a steady decline, but a triumphant run in SIN CITY. If he's playing there next SUMMER, I'm there.

I had a great time in Vegas with Prince back in May.

If he does the Rio it would be cool if peeps from the Org, HQ, NPGMC and Princefams chose a date to meet out there for one or more of the shows and REPRESENT for brotha man P.

You guys can show Vegas what a purple party looks like.

...sleep ---- $500,000 large.... um i can sleep when i'm dead...

quote - unquote....

who knows, he may find his ultimate enlightenment in the city of sin, being the walking contradiction that he is.

I don't see Prince as selling out when he does something with obvious commercial intents behind it.

He started off as a commercial artist interested in selling millions of records and making millions of dollars, then he went indie for a bit, now he has returned to commercial projects. That's not selling out, that's embracing what he has been all along. I know a lot of people on here think of him as some out-there indie artist and would prefer he sell only to a handful of hardcore fans, I expect most of those came on board during the late 90s when he seemed non-commercial, but back in the 80s and early 90s you wouldn't have considered him indie.

Very sharply noticed indeed. He always wandered along his own path but indeed he was commerical first and a bit indie later on (which I still subscribe to the influence of Mayte).

Prince probably will not do something he doesn't like nor want to do.
So if he wants to do vegas...God Damn leave him be

I don't understand why you stay here if you don't like Prince.

MickG said:

Yup, Prince is a sell out alright: His Musicology tour sold out and was the number 1 selling concert in 2004. His Tamar/Prince concerts sold out in 2006. The Vegas show at $312 a ticket sold out. His aftershows, BET, GMA, sold out in a millisecond (Before I even had time to hit the Enter button, the show was sold out), and because of the wait his next live show will sell out.

who gives a shit what mick "feels"

I'm still going to Vegas if he has a show. It's a short flight. Hopefully, he'll have a geriatric section for the oldsters.

as far as i know his 3121 shows in Vegas didn't sell out, which i hope is part of the reason his prices will be lower at the Rio.....and they should have a coupon where if you buy 3 shows you get the 4th one half price or something for former club members and poor folks

And yet, here you still are.

prince sold out when he set foot on the same stage as beyonce,
its a been a few years since then,
vegas doesnt seem half bad

plus c'mon who honestly believes he's gonna do this for more than 6 months

you actually think prince is gonna make it his routine to hit the slots with wayne newton and a whole bunch of elvis impersonaters...

DanceWme said:

I do. If you look at other Prince related forum topics, there's plenty of others who think the same way.

If you don't give a shit about how a particular orger feels about a topic, why respond to it?
