Come on, it doesn't sound like Prince, at all. This is how bullshit rumours turn into "facts" that we'll have to deal with over and over again.

The lead vocal is female. However, the spoken vocals at the start of 'Groove Etermal' and the backing vox during the chorus are clearly Prince's. His voice is too distinctive not to recognise. Besides the track has evidence of the 'Minneapolis sound' all over it.

On the proceeding track (of which there is no sample) there are even lyrics from 'All the critics love u in new york'.

Both these songs have guest-appearances by 'One'. The 'One' however is not credited with lead vox on 'Groove Eternal' (I checked the credits on the website), so perhaps that accounts for the confusion.

I've got the album on order and I'm expecting it any day, so I'll report back here on this thread for anyone who is interested after I've given it a closer listen.

But hey, why not buy it anyway? Its Bootsy baby!

This is my last comment on this subject, it's clear that our friends dont' know Prince at all, I've been on Prince's fan list since I first heard him in 76' I know Prince when I here him, he can be under water or behind a fan I know his voice! Lead vocals female please!...slow the damn track down u will here the clear difference, anyone who really knows Prince knows how he plays around, ask yourself when was the last time you heard" body don't wanna quit gotta get a nother hit" Prince. School is back in session take lessons, learn Prince before U f@+?% wit me...Peace


P.S. read these words:Dance To The Music

Pretty little friend of mine (???), upsets for the soul
So if fake or junk is takin‘ over your mind
In a funky house, who knows what you’ll find?
Just a prisoner in a funky world
Every man and woman, boy and girl
Get up, get up, get ’em up on the floor
When you think you’re tired
That’s when you need some more

So come and
Dance to the music
Dance to the sound

Everybody

Listen asshole. As far as I'm concerned, you're the stupid son of a WHORING BEATCH here.
Obviously its not Prince. Ppl quote Prince songs all the fuckin time you moron! Who the fuck would call themselves THE ONE?? Who? Hey, I just called myself THE ONE, does that mean I'm Prince? God, you are stupid. Ever care to think, its someone trying to impersonate Prince?
No, I guess you're a person that believes everything he sees/reads.

Your on drugs if you can't hear that's him.[/quote]


Hey look, its Moron #2!!! Its a woman singing. Have you ppl just started listening to Prince? Bootsy calls this so-called "Prince", mama. Its a woman! Damn, you ppl will feel oh so stupid when I'm proven right. I'll be there to rub it all in yall's FACES!!

Finally the voice of reason!

Yeah this is definitely not Prince! It sounds like a woman to me too! Even if the vocals were speed up. It's a woman trying real hard to sound like him. And that spoken intro doen't sound like Prince either. We listening to the same thing?

but the "Minneapolis Sound" was a straight up
cop of Bootzilla!

The lead singer on "Groove Eternal" is a female and she sounds nothing like Prince. There are faint background vocals that may be Prince.

I agree. You people are silly. At least admit it's a possibility. Prince dared to believe people would think his sped up voice was enough to convince people another person was singing (Camille). He slowed down his voice for Bob George. So what Bootsy refers to him as "Mamma", Princehas palyed a woman before can anyone say "VIBRATOR". He loves to switch and hide his idenitity. I could be him singing lead (I believe it is). But YOU KNOW it's his track. If anyone else had the talent to sound like one of the greatest artist of all time so completly, he or she would not be hiding out on a Bootsy track. Trust me.

All I have two say is two words, Thank U

This HAS to be the best imitation of a Prince track I've ever heard.

I seriously was almost fooled into thinking that Prince slipped this one passed us. I mean, one of the back up vocalists even sounds like Kip Blackshire.

Damn, I'm gonna listen to this again.

Y'all gotta admit...some of you old-schoolers been waiting for Prince to do something like this for a LONG time...

WHEW!!!


P.S. - Pfunkjazz: I'm a hardcore P-Funker since the late 70's, but to say that the Minneapolis Sound is a "cop" of the Bootzilla sound is a slight bit of a stretch, dontcha think?

Oh...I see on Bootsy's website that it's Bobby Womack...makes sense...

He slowed down his voice for Bob George. So what Bootsy refers to him as "Mamma", Princehas palyed a woman before can anyone say "VIBRATOR". He loves to switch and hide his idenitity.

1) Vibrator was NEVER released.
2) The times where Prince "supposely" played a woman, he was never reffered to as either "a woman" or "mama".

3) I'm DEFINITELY not a FAM.
4) I don't watch the Discovery Channel(err..umm!)
5) I'm wise enough to know that you're psycho babble is annoying

So, there you have it...you're wrong FOUR times in one post, I wonder what else you're wrong about.

Hint: everything!

Which explains how come Prince dug up "All The Critics"
again and started performing the tune.

All-tho I had fun with U rudedog, but for a dog U sure can't hear very well LOL LOL LOL LOL

Haven't heard the album yet, but since Rudedog's been around from the start (and this is when you were just discovering that there was a thing called the internet) and I have no idea who these newbies are so it's rather easy to start doubting the claims.

Wow, what a prejudiced person I turned out to be!

Hey, people. Its just an album! Calm down a little.

Personally, I thought the lead vox on 'Groove Eternal' was female. I thought I could hear Prince on backing vocals.

However, many of us will have different opinions so just respect them and agree to disagree.

Besides, just buy the album anyway. Its got appearances from Rosie Gaines, Snoop Dogg, George Clinton and Norman Cook (AKA Fatboy Slim).

It sounds great.
