I think I have figured out Prince's plan...

I have a feeling that Prince wants to get back on "pop" radio again. In order for him to do that, he is going to have to be exposed to a HUGE audience in a massive way. I do believe that this new Verizon campaigne is perfect for this. It has worked for Pink and Christina Aguilera over the past year, why not Prince. I feel that "mix" stations (that play 80s, 90s and currents) will all jump on "guitar".

What r ur feelings?

As long as he stops preaching, I don't have a problem with what he's doing right now commercially.

Maybe, maybe not.

Sure, the video is fairly TRL friendly, except the hat.

The song could do well.

I don't know.

Only one gossip blog reported on the verizon news and the person who runs that blog has been a big fan for years. None of the other really popular ones I visit did.

Australians love Prince and nothing from 3121 or Musicology was played on radio here. If there's anything more radio friendly than 3121 or Musicology and it doesn't get played, then I don't know if Guitar will go anywhere.

I see Black Sweat on tv alot though, so if the rest of the video is good, then he might have a hit.

Do you have pay TV? Because there's a music channel on there called Musicmax and they play Black Sweat and a whole heap of his other videos a lot. That's how I first heard If I Was Your Girlfriend.

I've seen -

The most beautiful girl in the world
purple rain
1999
kiss
if i was ur girlfriend
gett off
cream
black sweat

all on that channel, it's awesome biggrin

i do agree with daprettyman tho, i think (hope) commercial radio picks it up - depends on how commercial Planet Earth is I suppose.
seems that i was busy doing something close to nothing, but different than the day before music beret

All fun aside..yes i like to hear or see More "Prn" played..or have some big hits/success. (not that hes not) but radio/tv just dont push it..
It seems back in the days if a song wasnt a hit. it still got rotation, and grew on people..[im not just talking about P] but lots of artist.
Now adays they might give a song 1,2 plays..and thats it...lost hits..bummer

Christina tries to dance and fails miserably. Prince does dance, just not the straight up choreographed stuff.

What's makeup got to do with it?
