PrintablePurpleCharm said: dumbass said: or maybe he should put out some good music instead of crap that only self-righteous fans who don't want to admit his song writing has deteriorated will applaud because they personalize Prince to such an ridiculous extent that they actually believe any criticism of him is a criticism of them. I fail to see how being displeased somehow equates to being spoiled. Being displeased for 20 years, yet still hanging around in hopes of Prince being able to satify you musically year after year after year.... and then bitching about it when it doesn't happen is beyond ridiculous.  wow,I totally agree | |

dumbass said: PurpleCharm said: Being displeased for 20 years, yet still hanging around in hopes of Prince being able to satify you musically year after year after year.... and then bitching about it when it doesn't happen is beyond ridiculous. Prince set the bar, not the fans. I am sure he would rather have the level of genius that is expected from him, based on past genius work, than simply people not being interested but perhaps pleasantly surprised. I fail to see how having expectations based on past brilliance is somehow ridiculous for a fan. When I go see a Spielberg movie, I expect a great movie because he has proven to be able to do so. you think Spielberg would rather not let people down and would instead prefer to be regarded like Uwe Bol? I don't think so, and fans shouldn't be expected to simply be apathetic. Let me put it this way. I used to be a fan of MJ and Madonna...used to be. Their music doesn't do it for me anymore like it did years ago, yet you won't find me participating in online fan forums ranting about how they haven't lived up to their genius of 20 years ago...and berating those that happen to like their most recent output. Stop being a glutton for punishment and just ACCEPT the fact that Prince will never satisfy you musically the way he did 20+ years ago. Move on. [Edited 7/13/07 0:17am] | |

One thing I've noticed other artist sites don't put out this much negativity towards the artists they are hosting, I went on Chaka's website last week and they had more praise for Prince than they have here, it's really sad the org is know all over the web to be "Prince haters"  | |

It really is a shame isn't it. Its like prince was the best fuck of their lives and even though he's not hittin it like they like they can't let go. Its pathetic. I think there should be a Prince rehab site where people can ween themselves off of Prince and move on with lives lol. | |

cream72 said: i agree with u 2 a point cause i'm not xpecting the same prince of when he was in his 20s-30s ..what makes me pissed off is this nostagila prince. i'm not trying 2 hear that 80's music live anymore and 4 gods sake ..stop playing purple rain!! give it a rest already!
Yeah but you may not want to hear Purple Rain but plenty of others do I remember going to the ONA concert in london you got the fans shouting for him to play Purple Rain, Did he play it Nope he didnt but he knows this is what fans want to hear so hes gotta satisfy that percentage of fans hell i wish he didn't do it when I saw him in NYC during the ONA tour. Hence during the musicolgy tour I left when he started doing the song. it's played out. my advice 2 those that want 2 hear it, hopefully u tivo'd or taped it during the superbowl. it's time 4 prince 2 move on with his current projects and the songs that others have longed 2 hear play live. man, he has such an amazing body of music that it's sad to see him constrict it down to the basics. he's too talented for the lineup he's doing. estelle 81 | |

IstenSzek said: good idea. he should retire for a while and write purple rain II
or at least put out another crystal ball with revolution songs..  crystal ball II would b somethng he's been toying with since the 1st celebration and it should ncompass all era's and not just revolution songs man, he has such an amazing body of music that it's sad to see him constrict it down to the basics. he's too talented for the lineup he's doing. estelle 81 | |

That tour is probably my favorite of all the ones I have on CD. Sure the majority of the fans probably came just to hear the hits, but I'm glad he forced them to listen to what he was doing at the time. Same with the Gold tour. amen!!!  man, he has such an amazing body of music that it's sad to see him constrict it down to the basics. he's too talented for the lineup he's doing. estelle 81 | |

I was thinking the same thing. U know if a Non Fan came here 2 check out the Prince community they just might think this is not a Fan site. I swear the only thread I see where Prince gets mad love is the "Ass Pictures" threads. I'm not saying we have 2 be "Fams" as some folks call it. But this "..he hasn't done a good album since Lovesexy" crap is just Sad.  | |

[Edited 7/13/07 0:17am] how do you know Prince will never satisfy me anymore? that is an awfully bleak opinion of Prince's ability. aere you admitting that he doesn't have the ability anymore and that the music isn't very good? if that is the case, that is far more pathetic to accept second rate music than actually believing Prince still has the ability. so, which is it? besides, this is a forum about Prince, which encompasses his entire career, not just his current output. is it your opinion that only if you like current Prince music you should be a fan of Prince and participate in this forum, because that is what you have just said. would you like to correct that position, or is that what you actually meant? because that is a ridiculuos assertion. or perhaps the site should be divided into eras, is that a logical conclusion to come to? I don't think so. this message brought to you by logic. | |

I'm not one that falls in2 that category. I would rather Prince focus on his last 11 years of music in concert. man, he has such an amazing body of music that it's sad to see him constrict it down to the basics. he's too talented for the lineup he's doing. estelle 81 | |

DaMan said: I swear I've never seen so many spoiled fans ever. Some of you guys are looking for the Purple Era that was 23 years ago, some of U are lookng for the DIRTY MIND PRINCE Gosh! he is going on 50 it would be immature as hell to be cursing and grinding at age 50, besides us oldheads PRINCE is gaining a whole new generation of young kids. I can remember being 14 and first hearing PRINCE my first reaction was who was this weirdo but when I turn 17 I matured too his music. Some of us are still acting as if we are 17/18 and expect the old PRINCE well the OLD PRINCE is dead just like the OLD STEVIE, MICHAEL, MADONNA, and JANET, and who by the way will never sale like they sold in the PAST. Also what other artist has put out more albums then PRINCE if we were MJ fans, Madonna Fans we would be going insane. PE is another adventure and so far I'm digging it! Maybe he should retire and go away for five years or so maybe some of U would be happy and stop bitching!
PEACE!! I agree there! I think alot of the "bitching" on here comes from fans that are either very young or just not familiar with his music. Either way we were around in the 'days' so you can't blame them for being jealous hehehee  | |

"Prince" has had good songs out, lately that I "LIKE". None could I say that I "LOVE", lately, though. That is, with all due respect, my honest opinion/feeling. I would never say that I just "HATE" new Prince songs because they are not like his old ones. But, there is something about the vibes, you know what I mean? I mean, "Future Baby Mama" is okay, I guess. I am thinking that title is throwing me off, maybe, because; even after listening to the song about five times consecutively, I can not get into it. "Guitar" just.....you already know how I feel about that "THING"! What I can see that I "NEARLY LOVE" is "3121's Title Track". It's groovy! It's cool. That damn song should have been released as a single. But, all in all, if I "HATE" a song, it's a sign that I am not brainwashed ("AND", I am a self-proclaimed "Hardcore" fan of the guys).

 That would be retiring for the wrong reason. There are fans who like Planet Earth, and then, there are those who don't. Different strokes for different folks. | |

I went over to Chaka Kahn's site and Prince was getting much love, he probably gets more love at the Justin Timberlake site then here, how can anyone call themselves his fan and knock his new stuff when it hasn't even been offically released? B.S. [Edited 7/13/07 19:59pm] | |
