well let's wait and see what the site contains. i don't want to buy physical
copies of the albums if i've already got downloads with liner notes on the
site. so i hope we'll also be able to download (for a bit more $) those xtra
tracks.

or perhaps they'll simply all be on the download version. nod

damnit, this news is making me want to stay up tonight lol

I'm wondering what the file formats would be. In this day and age if Prince is thinking of using DRM wma, he can keep it. Lossless or bust.


I will be shocked if the files are offered in lossless. That said, there's a big difference between DRM-protected WMA and a VBR MP3, which "Guitar" was offered in.
I suspect that's what we'll see tonight.

I don't think they are very positive. This guy can hardly describe the music and seems stuck to the lyrics.


This is especially the case with Bria's CD. Even Dr. FB going to great pains to be positive about all things Prince, has reached his limit in describing Bria's Elixer...

"OK track"

"In all honesty, I just don’t know because it’s not working to her best advantages"

"might just hit the forward button to the next track"

"It’s missing something"

"not so sure I am digging this song too much"

"nothing spectacular"

"It’s not bad but it is not infectious either"


When someone such as Doc FB--who has been criticized heavily for being a mouthpiece for Prince's PR machine--has to struggle to say good things about this CD, that says something.


nod or maybe his time is up .....and he knows it....Prince don't sick with much for long and HE could be a HER..... lol

i'm not sure if dr FB actually wrote these reviews since they seem to
be written by someone who's 1st language is not english.

i never read anything on his/her blog beyond the prince news that is
linked from the org but i've never read that many spellig errors in
those posts.

plus, the tone is quite negative, dissing 1st singles and even prince
songs. doesn't seem like the usual ass kissing vibe we got from that
site this far.

so perhaps LondonStyle is right, dr FB senses the end coming because
prince will have his own website later this day for news and won't be
requiring the dr's enigmatic ramblings to get word out.

although, when was the last time we heard prince news from his official
websites? dr FB might be here to stay after all

I'm not going to read anything conspiratorial into it and am just going to give the doc the benefit of the doubt, and just say that he struggled to say something good about Elixer. Of all the reviews we've read or seen, they all put Elixer at the bottom of the three.

But of course. There must be some ways to try and get folk like me, who only care about the music and could care less about videos on a site to shell out the $77 rather than just wait for the $12 Target set.


In true Prince form, you've been taken to the cleaners and you don't even know your pants are off.


If I don't know my pants are off it's usually due to too many Martinis.

It has nothing to do with the Purple Leprechaun. mad

First of all, I'm annoyed by that "Pr1nce" thing. disbelief lol

Didn't one of the other reviews say that there is no Prince falsetto on any of the CDs? The Doctor says the first song on Lotusflow3r is sung in it lol



hehehe I like the PR1NCE thing cause that's my licence plate. has been for like 5 years now!
"not a fan" falloff yeah...ok

While he's fixing the "Girl From Impinia" mistake, tell him to correct the credit from "Claire Fisher" to "Clare Fischer".

Simple facts Dr. F, simple facts.

i had to smile at the bit before he starts describing the songs on Elixer

Another new Prince project brings another Prince protege. This time, you are getting Bria Valente’s Elixer wether you want it or not.


it gives me hope we might eventually get an album from Shelby J

but then i wont judge the albums till i have heard them for myself

But it sounds more like he´s referring to Housequake than Prince.org because there was a lot more bitching going on there ( i.e. constructive criticism lol) and they were the website that received a couple of extras ( "candy") , not Prince.org.
Right ?

Yes, this really sounds too good to be true but then again, maybe he´s just taken a few Clare Fisher samples from his vault like he´s done before.
And if not, then I´m really, really curious about those Bria songs and I can´t understand how they could be wack. I mean, her voice is okay, the lyrics are not that cryptic, the music is produced and written and performed by Prince...how could these songs possibly be boring ? The fact that even Dr.Funkenberry, usually not known to be too critical, seems to find her songs a bit boring is a bit alarming though.

I think he's referring to people who win awards promoting images, sounds, etc. that are contrary to what God would want... I remember reading an interview a few years back where he made some comment about that... like your a thugged out rapper bragging about drugs, death, homicide. And when you win an award you want to thank the Lord lol
