prince needs to recreate his mystique. I understand time has gone on and he's been around for 25 yrs or so. And we are very lucky he has been. But the Prince I miss was a bit wild,,and pretty daring. I know hes pretty much done everything and the book but now we need him to challenge himself. He was truly in his prime when the music competition was harder, meaner and funkier. He was the underdog and proved to the world he was THE MAN! Now ,I;m afraid he has just gotten to comfortable in his skin. He needs t find someone or something that threatens his musicianship and tackle it with a vengenance. All he needs is a good reason and I think he can do it. Until then hes just treading old water. | |

no he doesn't.
What I'd like from Prince is simple: Good new music. But it sounds from the paragraph you wrote that it's not his "mystique" you think he needs, but that he just needs to find his muse? | |

WELL WHAT I MEANT WAS HIS MUSIC WAS NEW, INTERESTING,,DARK(SOME OF HIS BEST STUFF IS HIS DARKER MUSIC) AND PUSHED THE ENVELOPE. THERE-FORE ADDING TO HIS MYSTERY AND PERSONA. I GUESS WHAT IM ASKING IS PRINCE TO BE RAW AGAIN. IN YOUR FACE.
IF HE CHOOSES NOT TO HEN THATS FINE,,HES DONE SO MUCH. BUT IF HE COULD REACH DEEP INSIDE HIMSELF HE COULD RECREATE AND PUSH THE ENVELOPE BECOME THIS SORTA "GOOD" ODD BALL ON THE SCENE. ON ANOTHER NOT I REALLY DO BELIEV HIS JW BELIEFS IS A MAJORE REASON WHY THE MUSIC CHANGED. HE WAS NO RESTRICTED AND SELF AWARE AND HIS OUTRAGEOUSNESS WAS NOW TAMED.i BELIVE HE FELT LIKE AT ONE POINT HE COULD GO TOO FAR AND HE NEEDED SOMETHING TO STOP HIM. | |

Not to be a dick, but how many threads do we need having someone complain about how he's missing this and he's missing that in Prince's music? No different from asking why we have a million picture threads, I know the deal. To me, if you aren't feeling the new music, play the music you are feeling. If it's pissing you off that much that Prince isn't making the music you wanna hear and you can't hang no more, then get the fuck off the boat. It's really that simple, unless you've been worshipping the dude since you could walk. I'm not trying to disregard how somedaysoon is feeling and I respect that but we've heard this so many times for so many years. It's gotten old. I'm not a fan of "old Prince". I'm not a fan of "new Prince". I'm just a fan of Prince. Simple as that | |

He oozes erotic mystique even in those half-way unbuttoned Kung-Fu shirts he wears nowadays. | |

Why are you so negative about people being negative? You have the same option you offer the people you deem nagetive, but to me you're in knee-deep. | |

Prince is doing what he needs to do right now so don't worry about him. What about you? What's the matter with YOUR life?! | |

And every one of these threads ends with the concensus that Prince has been there, done that. Out with the old, in with the new. That does not mean he will not use old ways to create new stuff, but I think people just have to realise that THOSE were the days of wild. THESE are the days of commercial hit tours. | |

Yeah, let's de-humanise him and worship false idols. Personality is what shines through when an artist creates something. Creation is the sum of all that drives a person, so that is why Prince was much more succesful when he just wanted to be rich, screw alotta girls, play guitar and sang songs about cars. Imo, he lost his audience over and over again because he focused on power, keeping the money he made, making more money and let his ego problems take over Paisley Park. | |

I'm just blown away that someone like Prince can still look hot, make great music, and play so well at his age. THe man has accomplished so much and I respect that. I don't expect him to be like he was when he was 30, when you get older you tend to slow down a little (unless your tina turner lol) SO i think hes doin just fine and who knows maybe his next album will blow all yalls minds | |

A man his age needs to leave the tight paints at the store, although wearing a pair of jeans once and awhile would not kill him. Or would it. | |

I hear you purplecam Totally agree! Just imagine if he'd decided NEVER to make any more new music, what if he'd died? God forbid, but you know? There's a LOT of his music to listen to, people don't go on and on and on being 'way out there', he's been making music for 30 years or more! How much do people want from him?! I hope he does come out with something that will totally blow us all away again, but I'm not really holding my breath, and I'm not going to worry about it. Sorry, went on a bit there ...didn't really mean to | |
