I don't care where Prince does these parties, I'm just glad he's still doing something. People are getting all bent out of shape because they keep hearing about them but this is all about business. It's about keeping Prince's name out there and maybe it will help him be able to do something bigger in the future. Remember in 2003 when all we got was a DVD from the Aladdin ONA show from late 2002 and the N.E.W.S Instrumental CD? It was a low-key year but then came 2004. Nuff said on that. Pardon me for being optimistic here, a rarity around these parts nowadays.

Plus, everyone talks about these PP parties from the late 90's. If you didn't live around Minneapolis, your ass couldn't go either, regardless or whether it was for the fans or not. So Prince is doing parties in Cali. BIG DEAL. Our time will come to see him again. Oh and to play devils advocate here, who's to say the celebs going to these parties aren't fans? Does that make them any less significant? They might even be such Prince fans that they might be members of p.org. We just need to chill out and relax. Things aren't changing any time soon but in the meantime, we should just play our favorite Prince albums and groove to that. I'm hope that when Prince comes back to play for us again, he'll be refreshed with new songs and new energy. Maybe these parties will do that for him. I'd rather look at how full the glass is than to see how empty it is.

I realised that you had copied and pasted it. I posted my comment because it seemed strange that the author got such a well known song title wrong.

The problem is, there's no sign of him coming back.

Well I'm happy Kristen Chenoweth is a Prince fan. I just love her.

She's a riot! I was only vaguely familiar with her before, but thanks to these clips from YouTube and FunnyOrDie, I can say that I'm definitely a fan.

According to her Wikipedia page, she describes herself as a non-judgmental Christian. She has a powerful soprano technique that definitely screams 'musical theater' so I kinda wonder what she sounded like with Prince. Not like everybody in his circle can sing, but it was interesting to read about him handing the mic over to her ...

I'm sorry if I come off as offensive with that but this is Prince we're talking about here. There is no way Prince is done. Sometimes I wonder if he's done with us and with that, I can understand why he would be but I don't think he is. Besides, it's only been a little over a year since Planet Earth came out and the O2 shows. We've been though this before, waiting for new music and waitng for a tour but we'll get through it again. We have to be patient.

purplecam said:

I know all that, but it still doesn't answer the question of what the point is in telling us all about these shows and parties we don't get to go to. He doesn't have to be performing like a trained monkey for us all the time, but why perform in a venue not accesible to us and then give us the play-by-play? It's just teasing.

He's done Emmy parties before. He did an Emmy party for ET and People Magazine in 2006. From what I've heard, he watches some TV. Now what he watches, that's anyone's guess.

ooh god whats he be up these days .Always the same songs .I think he will end up with Posh and Becks in teh future ,They more trendy than he is at the moment

It really makes me sad to hear of these parties when some
years back Prince stood in front of us at Paisley Park and
SWORE he would NEVER leave MPLS.. He SWORE that he wanted
NOTHING to do with all that LA stuff.....
And now.. here he is.. "The life of the party".....
Playing for all these folks who just wanna party...
not us fans who LOVE him and would give ANYTHING to see him
perform for us again
It would not be so bad IF he was touring.. putting out
CD's having get togethers at Paisley or heck.. even
releasing singles/video's..
but honestly.. we get NOTHING.. while the SPOILED Hollywood
Elite get our man.....
not happy.....

You guys are always focused on what's wrong with stuff where Prince is concerned. It's no wonder why y'all are always disappointed.

This is really kind of pathetic. Catering to the 'rich & famous' just for the sake of adoration? I agree that the man can do whatever he wants, but this strikes me as the type of behavior he would have mocked in the past. And before anyone suggests it, this is not him growing. In fact, I would even argue that his recent lyrical creations (which I feel have fallen off considerably) are a reflection of his recent experiences/company.

I will dive off of my soapbox.

I love that you always ahve a positive outlook Cam.

Why? I don't know why? I know I am entertained by these reports.

It was said before but it must be said again but if you don't like these reports, don't read them.

Don't get worked up over nothing. It isn't worth it.

purplecam said:

Some fans would be entertained if Prince farted in a bucket. Still doesn't mean it's any good.



Yeah, how dare people post their opinions on this website! Sheesh, if you're getting upset when people point out basic truths...

purplecam said:

It's you that's getting worked up. How many posts did you do in this thread alone?
