Fans are in Denial about Prince's religion affecting his music! Prince's music was always spiritual with religious overtones in the past, but at least it was still good music. Now that he is a Jehovia, his music has really suffered! I guess we will see when his next album is released. I don't think you can blame his music getting worse because he is getting older.

Well, here we go...

Jehovia? Is that Sussudio's sister?

*teeters off to find Phil collins album* then listens to it backwards..

I challenge you to more specifically illustrate how "his music has really suffered". It's very easy to give throw away subjective statements like you have done. However, your point has not been made and it basically amounts to typical fan bitching. Again, I challenge you to be more specific.

of course it has

prince only cares about jehovah nothing else; he's lost his desire and passion for music he once had

lol

no sh!t do we have to play this game again

I dont think anyone is in denial , Princes' work has often reflected his spirituality , end of discussion really IMO

Of course it has affected his music. This is why he no longer plays his old explicit stuff,which is a real shame.

You just made my day. Lord have mercy....


Anyway, why deny? It doesn't bother me one bit. It could be, could be not. I love his sound no matter what.

Yep, it's always the rationale people that are in denial. ;-

I think I can say his aging has had an effect.
I think you are in denial
if you think aging has no effect on his music.

No doubt. Sea of the Nile isn't a ocean but it runs deep.

You got it.

If his music wasn't changing with age, I'd have left years ago.

And I'm the lucky one that can take a trip back to 1980 whenever I damn well please.

jaimestarr79 said:

- Disagree. The Rainbow Children is one of his best albums ever. He was really inspired there. I think his "problem" is that he doesn´t seem to be challenging himself much like he did in the past. Maybe because he doesn´t have competition today, maybe because he already explored lots of different stuff...

Brendan said:

Agreed. With age you progress not regress. But everynow and then, its good to reflect.

MsLegs said:

Indeed. I find myself doing that a lot because I think his 80's work is unparalleled in Western music.

But I'm still thrilled by the current ride, whether it's good, bad or indifferent.

If I wasn't I'd spend my time elsewhere. There's so much greatness out there, one can't possibly find the time to suck it all up.

Brendan said:

So very true. You definitely hit on the head.

R we gonna start that again!

jaimestarr79 said:

great point

jaimestarr79 said:

You can't say that all fans are in denial, you're generalizing.

mirrorbestfriend said:

You would think so

jaimestarr79 said:

Just because he's taken the sex and cursing out doen't make it worse. Your opinion is YOUR opinion You're just another person still living in the past

Hey, Prince will do what Prince will do. His life, I respect that. I'm just happy he loves music so much that he's still out there and active.

Plus, last time he let religious beliefs majorly affect his work, we got Lovesexy.

Anxiety said:

i thought it was a shampoo??

Well at least we have a choice to listen to his music either way and that's cool
