First off, thanks again to the kind words from those who first posted to this thread.

Secondly, to the haters who have now jumped on the bandwagon only to seek and destroy, you all sound like very unhappy people.

Tron, since you say you hate me... guess what? I hate you too then, you jerk.

SexualSuicide, no need to be sorry. I never said I was Prince, but people mistake me for him all the time and that is a fact whether you like it or not.

javed, evidently... you don't know the difference between Prince and George Michael.

BlackMiles, YOU are the nutcase who can do nothing but critisize the accomplishments of others. THAT is a sad existence. Why don't you get a life so you don't have to try to put down the lives of other people who are actually doing something.

You know, I didn't expect all this extreme hostility, but I accept it. There will always be haters. That is a fact of life. If you have no haters, then you are doing something wrong. With everything that is good, one must be ready to accept the bad.

Take Prince for example. As great as he is, he has 10 times more haters than I do.

Just as the haters are trying to hate on me in this forum now, you will see haters in here hating on Prince as well AND THIS IS A PRINCE FORUM. It's sad, but it's just how life is.

I'd also like to say that I am thankful that my concerts are always filled with happy Prince fans who enjoy his music and the show. They really have LOVE4ONEANOTHER and we have a very good time 2gether.

For the rest of you haters who want to post more hateful stuff... I'll be laughing at ya all the way to the bank. Oh yeah, haters... did I tell you I am in Missy Elliott's new video on MTV?

To all the haters... "Where's your video?"

Hello Again Everyone,

My, my, my... look at what I have started with this thread. I guess since I started it, I might as well end it.

Anyway, the haters have made this thread so hostile that most of the friendly people have chosen to send me orgNotes and emails. To all the friends and intelligent people who sent me all the orgNotes today, thank you.

I will address a few more points now starting with SexualSuicide's most insightful post:

>YOU DON"T LOOK LIKE PRINCE. But hey everyone has to make a living, and you seem to make it off of Princes coat tail.<

If I didn't resemble Prince, I would not be able to do all the things I have done as a professional Prince impersonator. My history and record speaks for itself. People that know Prince personally as well as a former band member (Morris Hayes) would totally disagree with you. Also, I don't do anything any differently than any cover band you may see playing other people's music except take it to a higher level. I love Prince's music and I feel very blessed to have the talent to impersonate him in front of (sometimes) thousands of people (Prince fans) and never get booed off the stage.

Freezerburn:
>From these pics the face is totally off though.<

That is an overstatement. Maybe those pics don't do me total justice? In any case, I guarantee you that if you showed those pictures to anyone (without dogging me out first) and said, "Who is this?" Somewhere in their responce, you will hear the word "Prince."

morgan622:
>would we have heard from 'purple majesty' if he wasn't going to be on MTV? there are lots people who join the org. and don't have to refer to their resume. i am surprised i didn't see a 'paypal' purchase button for a concert ticket or videotape.<

I am an entertainer and I don't have a manager. I manage myself. You have to be very professional to manage yourself in the music business... and make a good living. That's why most entertainers can not manage themselves. Most entertainers do not have business sense nor can they take care of business. They usually can only create or perform. I am always thinking of ways to promote myself. If I don't, no one else will. I thought people would be interested in reading about the Missy Elliott video and many people here are interested and have sent very nice messages to me. I didn't have to refer to a resume. The video is just news. This is a forum where people like to read about the latest news, right? If I would have joined the org and didn't tell you about it, you would probably be the same person in here criticising me for that too. Don't worry, you won't see me trying to solicit any money from the people on the Prince.org site. I was just introducing myself and giving a little information about me and a few of my experiences.

Tom:
>Kudos to you for having fun impersonating Prince, and gaining some significant recognition.

You're basically patting yourself on the back though with this thread, which is somewhat tacky. Your site has been discussed previously on here in threads about Prince impersonators.<

Thank you, Tom. As far as patting myself on the back with this thread... maybe that's the problem. If that's how I came across, I didn't mean to and I apologize for that. Also, you say my site has been discussed previously on here in other threads? I had no idea. I can just imagine what has been said about me or any other Prince impersonator around here. The environment here is very unnecessarily hostile to Prince impersonators.

CalhounSq:
>I know you'll automatically call me hater but sometimes people tell the truth b/c it's more constructive than blowing smoke up ones ass. Give it some thought... and break out the tweezers.

Oh yea, and welcome to the Org!!!<

Are you seriously welcoming me to the Org? Why do I feel the sarcasm there? OUCH! Anyway, you posted a lot of suggestions to me that I didn't ask for... but noneoftheless, I read. I can see where you are coming from on your suggestions, even though I disagree with them except for the ones about taking different poses. That is an excellent idea which I have thought about. Those pics on that site are very old and they do need to be updated. I wasn't intentionally covering my ass.. LOL... it just turned out that way. I did want to wear the long hair with the Rave suit, but I could not find an acceptable long wig that looked right and acted right on stage. Prince's eyebrows are thicker than mine, so I have to add a little more on the eyebrows with eyebrow pencil to compensate for that.

Anyway, thanks for the suggestions... even though they reeked with sarcasm.

Frederick96:
>I have no negative vibes to send...but I just don't think he has a real resemblance to Prince. But good luck on the video...let's all check it out tomorrow.<

That's cool, man. Anyway, the people on here who were hostile to me today will be hostile to me tomorrow. I just have to do like Snoop Dog says and just "shake the haters off." I don't care what most people on Prince.org say or think about the video anymore.

CherryMoonKisses:
>Gimme a freeking break.
Only PRINCE can look like PRINCE<

Ooookaaay. LOL!

To TheCherryLoon, NikkiDarling, SensualMelody, jseven, paiselypark4, tommyalma, Sahar, LadyCabDriver, grandebelle, Italincutie and sag10:

It was very nice meeting you all today. I probably will not respond to anymore posts in this thread. I think everyone has made their point and I have made mine. If you guys would like to continue conversing with me or whatever, feel free to do it from my website or even through orgNotes. We can let the haters have this thread.

I would also say that NikkiDarling is a very intelligent and perceptive young lady. Her last post summed up the celebrity impersonation business in a nutshell. Maybe others around here have never seen a good impersonation act before? Who knows?

peace and b wild! (I'm out yall)

O.K. Vince here is your test you say you have played to Prince die-hards well play to this one! Let me see what you got. I'll tell ya what I think and if you are any good. Let me see your skills. If you pass with me then you will certainly make it.
