Considering Timbaland has said that he keeps trying to imitate Prince's sound, but can't, we'd then get an album that is a poor imitation of Prince for Prince to use??

God...I'm getting tired of seeing this thread...
I keep singing Futuresex/Lovesounds

I think that Futuresex/Lovesounds - the title track sounds like DMSR a bit.

Let me go ahead and preface this by saying that I don't give a flying fuck if you like Planet Earth (the song) or not.

When ole Timberlake/Timbaland create a song like this give me call.

You can take your My Love, Sexyback, What Goes Around rubbish and listen to it till your little heart's content. I've heard shit like this a million times over.

I personally have never heard anything quite like The One U Wanna C. That's what I'll be listening to.

Serena said:

Not a poor immitation of Prince post-2000 though. Nobody cares to immitate that do they?

MartyMcFly said:

Actually, do Bart and "new Prince album coming out" have some sort of hen-egg relationship???

Serena said:

Why don't Prince fans get a new gig? How come you lot are still so lame as to only listen to Prince and bland pop music that sounds like Prince? GET OUT MORE. There's so much great music being made now, and yet some of you are still debating Lenny K, for crying out loud.

HA!

I must concur with the above as I couldn't have stated it better myself.

Yes, Housequake2.com, there IS more than top 40 or Spin's year-end best of issue that you could absorb...

Spoken like a true thirteen year old with stars in her eyes.

I refer, again, to the above statement of Bart's.

krayzie said:

I still don't have Planet Earth but I've heard each song on the album
and I think it's a great Prince album,I would never delete any P-album!

I do agree with all the the other things U say!
It seems everybody would love 2 hate him,but can't resist his
grooves/songs.Sure,without Timbaland and Pharrel his albums wouldn't
have been that good.They are the true superstars of this decade!

Some poeple,once again,told me JT's latest single Lovestoned(in Europe) sounds like Prince...I admit,if only Prince would have done this song!
Future sex/lovesounds is a hit album but I'm gonna enjoy Planet Earth
more because Prince's music is something U can enjoy over and over again.

This thread is depressing.

Ummm..personally, I do listen to a lot of different artists, but I don't come on a Prince site to talk shit about him and push those other artists.

If I wasn't interested in P's current music, I wouldn't come here at all. Unlike you, who thinks that Prince is the worst person on the planet, but is so obsessed with Prince, he can't stay away.

I thought this paragraph was spot-on. Very well put. Though to be fair, one of the guys trying to "do" Prince is Prince himself these days. I don't really mind it though, he really lost his way in the late 90s and sometimes the best way to get back on track is to work in idioms that were successful for you earlier before you kinda lost it.

That's why I think Prince "rediscovering the Linn" is a good thing as long as there are good songs behind it. The results have been encouraging.

brink

Every word of what you just said is 100% on for me.
If I see JT, I hate him. If I hear his albums, I'm rooting for him as if it's a basketball game. 'Go on, son. Stick it in the net'
And on Justified he does it over and again.
Haven't heard FutureSex (because every time I think of checking it, there he is on TV again annoying me with his mere existence! lol)

Of course, I can totally see Prince through this same eye.
Lots of people have always been that way with him. 'Yeah..he's great but keep him outta my face'.

As for PE, well I played it with my girlfriend as we'd done last year with 3121 and it got to, like, Future Baby Momma before she said 'I really don't like Prince'. Last year she was saying 'This is good!'
I took the record off right there and thought 'I'll have a proper listen later' but when it came to it, I couldn't even get as far as that track on a full listen and, skipping through, concluded that it WAS, after all the fuss, just another throwaway 'coaster-freebie' from the Mail on Sunday (3 million sold, 30 played all the way through)

I said on another thread that Prince needs to listen to more White Stripes and less Beyonce but try telling that to a man who wants to mess with his own perfume in the same week as playing downtown Camden!!

In the words of Ingrid Chavez, he needs to get his shoes off and his feet onto the grass. He may a 'superstar' but there ain't no such thing as superhuman.

SpecialEd said:

The interesting thing is Prince could careless. By 2000, Prince was a legend. Prince is doing Prince....whatever that is good or bad.


Jt is doing prince, michael jackson....etc.....Prince isn't trying to reach my daughter....he's doing music he wants to do....Jt and Tim are trying to reach the kids with BEATS.....no substance musicially...just beats.....stolen beats at that.

Defo "Planet Earth", obviously!!!

And i have listened to FSLS by JT and there are one or two songs on there that are ok, but i think its track 4, its sooooo reminds me of a early prince song something of "dirty mind", even before all the bitching JT did about prince i thought that, so i'm not just saying it because i cannot stand JT!!! It sounds like JT and timberland where jamming all night to that album and come up with that song!!!

any hooo, i agree with some on this thread, I don't understand what people see in JT, at first when he came out of the boy band he tried to be the next MJ, score no points with me on that one anyway!!! Then his second album was all about Prince!! I just think he's really childish and he's rude!!!!!

any hoo roll on 7th august 2007, got my ticket have you got yours....

Rhondab said:

WEEZY!!!

Rhondab said:

I'm not here to defend JT. But when it comes to originality, I don't think prince is the best example IMO.

Prince has borrowed a lot from his idols too. I mean A LOT. Some of his best performances look like straight impersonations.

Pound for Pound, FutureSex/LoveSounds is a much better album than Planet Earth!

The org is giving me a headache. I had no idea that to be a prince fan I ONLY could listen to his music, and I have to hate on everyone else. Seriously.. do you all sit on the net all day wondering how you can make fun of another musical artist? Give it up! Find something better to do..

Justin wouldn't know sexy if Prince sat on his face, so how's he gonna bring it back?

This question is a joke, right?

Nope, not the case at all. But at least listen to someone with some creativity and actual musical talent. Of course, if you like his crap, you're welcome to that cup of Mickey Mouse tea.

When FSLS came out I really dug it and was stoked that JT had chosen to sample my favourite artist. Played it many, many times but after a while found it a little plasticky- almost like an imitation of something else, which i guess is exactly what it is. Originality goes a long way. Listening to PE was an interesting experience in that it seemed that Prince was sampling JT- who of course was sampling Prince- weird. then it dawned on me that Prince has been doing this for so long that it's almost like the old 80's Prince is a completely different artist. I'm drifting from the point here. The point: Prince's PE stands at the front of a very rich back catalogue of incredible, original music, and this depth can be heard in the music. Whereas FSLS skims the surface, PE jumps in and gets every note wet with soul.
