I don't think he's totally happy with himself as a person. We all have our issues and there is always room for improvement. I don't think he allows himself to dwell on the negative things that happen to him. I read somewhere, that he doesn't believe in holding on to memories. That can be a good thing, but can also backfire sometimes. Sometimes its better to deal with issues and work through them, than to pretend that there aren't any issues. you speak with seemingly alot of knowledge of someone you've probably never met - i am amazed -what does happy mean anyway - what about joy, faith, other feelings which may be more important than "happy". i never sit around wondering whether or not i'm happy - honestly what a load of tosh on here sometimes - and no wonder websites get shut down "C'mon y'all - let me hear you sing, c'mon y'all, shake, c'mon y'all, jump" - Yes Prince -
"London do you feel for me what I feel for you"- yes Prince - "Can I play my guitar now?" - yes please | |

he has a shitty attitude at times... he treats his fans like shit... the longer I'm a fan, the more I realize I'm a fan of the music, not the man... can't believe you fans on here sometimes - he's just done a load of concerts at 30 quid with free cd or 25 quid for up to a 3 hour aftershow - i'd say that was actually a pretty generous gesture to an awful lot of people plus 2 virtually free cd/dvd's this summer etc. etc. i have only really been a fan for a short while and i don;'t know of any other artist who has done anything like this - what a b....y miserable bunch some of you are  <-----"reason"-----leaves the building  If it were not for insanity, I would be sane.

I don't think he is that happy. Otherwise he wouldn't need to be part of a recognized cult and he would walk his words and look for some kind of resolution instead of going for compensation from fan sites that don't have his money to fight back.So to me that suggests some inner turmoil. Prince is magic | |

Trust me, I'm not trying to harm your idol or his reputation in anny way. Lighten up, would you? To post on this site is a form of entertainment, and not a scientifically proven experiment. If web-sites get shut down over something this trivial, we might as well do away with freedom of speech altogether. love the one who is Love! | |

Most people dont accept rudeness and aloofness from folks in their everyday life so it confuses me why most here give Prince a pass on being such an ass... I'm surely no expert of anything psychological, but most people I've know in day to day life who display many of the same traits as Prince; they're miserable people.... I'm a fan, always will be...I have an opinion and as the years have passed, my opinion isn't as high of the man as it once was... | |

I agree with you and accept the fact that some people here will hate me for doing so. People seem to forgive and forget when it comes to Prince or any other celebrity. Everday people don't get away with some of the behavior, Prince has been displaying over the years. Prince is getting paid more than enough for his music or performances and is therefore oligated to deliver. Yes, he's working hard but so is everybody else who tries to make an honest living. The difference is, regular people don't get paid as well for their hard work. I do respect Prince for his talent and the charitable things he's done over the years but I certainly don't put him on a pedestal and pretend he can do no wrong. love the one who is Love! | |

I also thought that TRL thing was a bit much..why kiss clive davis' ass and Try your best to make a HIT for him so that you can have a successful album again..and go on all the Big shows to promote yourself..Only to diss them when your on national TV using their show to promote yourself..?!

Prince is a human being but many people posting in this forum think he should be treated as anything but such...if you act like a miserable fuck, you sould be called a miserale fuck...if my use of the word fuck offended you, then I apologize...he's a miserable man... as for excusing myself from the site....why not just excuse yourself from reading my posts or responding to them... again, if it was my language that offended you, I'm sorry...if it was my opinion...then I dont know what to tell you...

I mean, I know for sure that when you make something, you treassure it. I guess he is doing the same. He makes nice songs for us for over 2 decades. releasing at least 1 cd every year giving us the opportunity to go to his concerts for 30 euro. I guess the question is... are you really happy being a fan? | |

I guess the question is... are you really happy being a fan? you know, it is possible to still be a fan and separate an appreciation for ones talent, abilities, contributions, etc and a non appreciation for their general attitude...I'll defend P's music 'til the day I die but I have no defense for the way he has presented his self through the years... I'm happy being a fan and I don't think that requires an unwaivering faith in Princes ability to present himself in a positve light...the question was do you think Prince is happy...I gave an answer to that question...you would think I said that Prince kicks babies and puppies judging from the reactions I got... maybe y'all are right, cheap concert tickets and a bunch of albums make you a person worthy of praise....  | |

Prince may be Happy in many areas of his life...
But, the ONE most important part of him that seeks is his Heart. He's looks 4ward 2 having THE Special One... His SoulMate 2 come and share his life with. Just As many of us Dream of. 
just my thoughts

Being happy is something we all are probably struggling with,if we are sober and sane of mind.Life and living,with all that it entails,makes it a constant strugle to stay happy.I believe Prince is at a better place in his life ,right now,than he has ever been.(with or without someone special in his life)In spite of it all,he is only human,like the rest of us. | |

I always hope that Prince is happy. I know he is grateful to be healthy to
perform, yet I'm sure he gets quite tired of all that comes along with his position. I am sure there are days when he wishes he could run away from the world, and it's sadness, because he can't all by himself fix the poverty and the broken hearts. I bleive he would be happier if he lived with me. "The Lion Sleeps Tonight... | |
