I'm just sayin...a fan needs her star to give up some love sometimes

Listen, I am the first to over look his control issues but I have been feeling like, "hey! who are all the photos and interviews taken over the years for, if not for the fans?" This is in reference to the 3121 request and all the noise over at Housequake. I'm not saying he should reveal his private life (I AM interested though) but pics and music and stuff like that should be free or at least available to fans-not locked down. I still love him, but I'm just sayin'..

Prince gives plenty of love, but he's got rules About himself that he wants folks to follow when it comes to himself and his music. People are acting like Prince is the first artist to say and do the things that he does but that's not true.Too many people think that entertainers are their personal friends.

Right, right. I know people get a little too carried away with all of it. But when it comes to all the pics and footage, who is he saving it for? He says the music is the gift he is giving, well then... Why not let the ones who have been buying the music, the tickets, etc., all these years enjoy?

Well said, hes just a person after all, must be really freaky to be famous and have people know so much about your life when you dont know anything about them.

but then look at the premiere pics and how ultra co-ordinated they all are, if that doesnt say look at me and take pics i dont what would?

i wonder if the control is actually coming from him or his entourage its hard to be incontrol of a bunch of pople who are hired for their talents and control evry action, you may as well do it all yourself if you want that much control - its unrealistic for Ps line of business - and what a massive business it is!

ive always suspectd that prince doesnt really like his looks, he always comes across as uncomfortable with himself and he has even said this in some lyrics 'i am so ugly'. He is definately unusual but its slightly crazy to assume that no-one will take pics of him and seeing the reaction to those few bourne pics here on the org, the fans love to see any natural shots of him and he should stop worrying as he is very photogenic!

he should just take a look at the pic threads to feel wonderful about himself!
