***"Lovesexy"---shoulda been the second single. ***"Automatic" ***"Girls And Boys"---It was released as a single outside of America,but I think it should have been the official second single in the States,too. ***"The Future" ***"It" ***"Sleep Around"---woulda been a cool first single from 'Emancipation' ***"So Far,So Pleased"---Yes,the 'Rave' album has its flaws,but when it's good,it's very good.This song had "hit" written all over it. I think No Doubt were releasing an album around tha ttime and legally they couldn't release So Far, So Pleased as Gwen Stefani dueted on it. A pity Yeah,and wasn't Prince kinda mad at No Doubt? I remember he posted a message on his website,saying something like "the ball is in their court",meaning..he wanted to release it as a single,but it was up to them to approve of it. In any event,he could have gone with "Baby Knows" as a first single.That track is cool,and much more exciting than 'TGRES'. | |

^ I remember that a lot of non-fans I knew thought that 'Baby Knows' WAS
the new single! Because every time he appeared on TV and played a song from the new album, he always played 'Baby Knows' instead of TGRES. It's hardly surprising that TGRES didn't do so well. It got so-so radio play, there was no video (it wasn't made 'til months too late!) and Prince seemed to be promoting 'Babt Knows' instead on every TV show he played on. | |

I don't know why he just didn't release "Baby Knows" as the first single.He could have done a really hot,sexy video with Sheryl Crow. | |

However...I will list some songs that I believe deserved repetitive air play. Pink Cashmere Don't say U Love me Spirit Open Book Starfish and Coffee It's gonna be a beautiful night Gotta broken heart again Love 2 the 9's The Everlasting Now When U love somebody Paisley Park Push Willin' and Able Sweet baby Money don't matterOne Kiss at a time EmaleLife 'o' the party If eye was the man in your life Dear Mr, Man Black Sweat Somewhere Here on earth Message to Tame. Money Don't Matter Tonight was released as a single. Ohhh. "The Lion Sleeps Tonight... | |
