Prince shouldn't change the lyrics 2 his old songs..

i heard he changed the song sexuality to spirituality live, the lyric changes to d.m.s.r., and i feel 4 u are very annoying to long time fans.. i know he is a JW but he shouldn't take away how he felt when he had wriiten those tunes. cool

I agree but then sometimes it is interesting to see how an artist will re-render the hits. But come to think of it, it is almost never for the better?!? Speaking of "I Feel For You", it is # 35 on the Best Song by Prince ranking on Rankopedia. Check it out here and let's get this song higher up the ranking! http://www.rankopedia.com...1/2998.htm

Yeah because he does not want to get in trouble with the cheifs. i am not sure what they are call ed in the Jw religion, not trying to sound disrespectful. He wants kids to start comming to his shows and feels bad when parents pl;ay his old stuff with the suggestable lyrics from back in the day. He cleaned up his act so kids could come to the shows. Beside a guy his age sing those lyrics, is a bit much. As a parentmy daughter is becomming a fan. If i could afford to go to a show> If he ever came back to indiana again, wich I know will never happen. I would want to take her, but not he is gonna sing Darling Niki. i bit much for a seven year old i think.

That is the point where there are a lot of entertainers in a role model position..and have to consider the product they are offering as a choice...

Even the swim suit designers of the world...will put a bathing suit on the shelf that a little girl can consider.

If there are 4 swimsuits to choose from...
1) The sleezy, little to nothing but feathers there.
2) The kinda sexy but not over the line.
3) The traditional practical cute.
4) The very plain.

If The Merchandisers don't put sleezy on the shelf...She can't choose it.

Prince is a rare musician...yet still is a role model. This is why Prince is making these decisions. And that is what the world needs....Safer choices.

I wish that I had had the opportunity to listen to Darling Nikki when I was 8, because then I would have known that there was nothing wrong with my fingers do he walking.

I think firstly he created the song so he can do what the hell he likes with them and secondly the majority of people dont notice cause of the electricity of the performance.

Actually this isn't really new. I was just watching a 1980's concert he did,and during his performance of Purple Rain instead of singing "You say you want a leader,but you can't seem to make up your mind,I think you better close them,and let me guide you to the purple rain" he sang "I think you better close them,and let Jesus guide you to the purple rain". So he was even doing this in the 80's..
