I think it's very possible. Questlove mentioned on the okay player board that he has seen Prince check out sites in between sets back stage on his lap top, and it was one of the reasons that he strongly urged folks not to post links to his material, because he knows for a fact that Prince checks out what is being said on message boards. Probably his way of keeping his ear to the public pulse. Not to mentioned the line in a recent lyric, Internet haters somebody's watching you.

Thanks electric, here are all the lyrics to the above song. One of my finest, if i say so myself.

Singing My Own Song :

I'll be spending all my time
(Singing my own song)
So I'm sorry baby but not tonight
(Singing it all night long)
I like the sound of your melody
(Singing my own song)
But nobody hits the right notes like me
So I'll be

Singing my own song
Singing it all night long
And every time I reach the hook
Ill take another look

I'm gonna assemble all my toys
(Singing my own song)
Shut the door so I can make some noise
(Singing it all night long)
I've got a long night ahead
(Singing my own song)
By the time I'm done I'll be half dead
And I'll be

Singing my own song
Singing it all night long
And every time I reach the hook
Ill take another look

There's nothing better than a one man jam
(Singing my own song)
'Cos I always give it the best I can
(Singing it all night long)
I'll make it up as I go along
(Singing my own song)
And I'll take it slow so I can't go wrong
And I'll be

Singing my own song
Singing it all night long
And every time I reach the hook
Ill take another look

Don't worry baby 'cos you're on my mind
(Singing my own song)
So sorry that you weren't wined and dined
(Singing it all night long)
I'll dedicate a verse to you
(Singing my own song)
Who knows, next time maybe you can sing it too
Until then I'll be

Singing my own song
Singing it all night long
And every time I reach the hook
Ill take another look


Good, isnt it? Ive got lots more. Theyre all different too. You can hear some of them on www.myspace.com/leafarspace

I love it. Free material for Prince, and free publicity for me.

Let's make this a Prince FAQ...

Q :Does Prince from time to time check out www.prince.org?

A : Duh !!!

people seriously, what do you think the man does all day?

paint pics? color with crayons? name the butterflies and such

he's human, he surfs, he checks out the org...

I agree. He has even said that he does check to see what people say, especially the live shows (not so much the records), and this has to be the best resource for that.

It just makes me laugh whenever someone says : X was mentioned here, and then Prince did it, so that means that he must have got the idea from here.

Thats not to say that it cant happen, or maybe even has very occasionally happened (like someone suggesting something and then he does it). But playful speculation is one thing, whereas to believe wholeheartedly that he did something because someone mentioned it is to be slightly insane.

exactly

I personally do think he looks at forums like this 1 but what I think would be really great would b if he did an Axl Rose on us and come on the forums 2 answer fan questions, Axl did that on a couple of fan sites of his just after the release of Chinese Democracy and he got a pretty positive response and he was quite funny with the way he handled the few haters on there.

he must laugh alot when he has a nosy around here !

I think some of u may be certafiable...reading posts in this thread is proof

Prince doesn't laugh.He's a serious musician!

JEDINATION said:

What? U don't think he has other things to do with his life other than create music and surf the internet? Geez he's not that much of a dork

electric said:

Depending on Your spirit...Obsession can be devotion and loyalty...People treat that word as if it isn't a positive thing when it comes to supporting a great musician.

chillichocaholic said:

he's got plenty to do, but those are a few of his favorite hobbies

Whether he checks the org or not, I'm sure he doesn't care what people have to say about him as long as they pay for his music or website.
If you've seen any of his interwiews Prince doesn't accept any form of critizism or negativity from anyone.
Prince on the other hand doesn't hold back when it comes to critizising others.
That is just typical for a person who has been rich and famous for a long time. I'm sure nobody in his circle even dares to critizise him, even if it would help him here and there.
I don't know why some people act like Prince can do no wrong; everybody messes up from time to time and it's okay to be critizised for it. Everyday people go through it all the time in their relationships at home and at work. There is nothing wrong with it, as long as it's done with respect.

purplesweat said:

Prince scratches his own nose? Surely not????? I thought he had fams to do that for him

Its VERY possible indeed. Lets all not try to down play the idea. He personally might not be the one doing the browsing here but his people just might be. We all already know how he wanted to orginally shut down all these fan sites to begin with.

nurseV said:

Yeah....Imagine that!! Prince on the org.

chillichocaholic said:

lol thanks

GiGi319 said:

From what I do know of Prince...that has come with many days of thought...I believe Prince has a lot of responsibilities that people can't see...and would most likely take a long time to explain....I feel for him.

besides how would you know that a site had a bunch of pics that you want to force them to take down if you have never even been to the site?

Someone dogged us out thats how

MoneyMade said:

Prince?

electric said:

I'm yours is a classic!

Come to think of it,i'd like to hear new version of his early music.

Think of all the stuff I've wanted...More

• Prince to do a Piano Only CD without vocals
• Prince to bring back the Revolution
• Prince to a Superstar Duet Album.

Kravitz: When U were Mine
Bowie's: Blu Jeans
Jagger:HotThang & New Position
George Micheal: Elephants & Flowers
Billy Idol: Jack You off
Stevie Wonder: Anotherloverholeinyohead
Grace Jones: Sexuality
Bon Jovi: Joy In Repetition
The Boss: Play in the Sunshine & All the midnights
Patti Label: Friend,Lover Sister Lover Wife & Yo Mister

Yeah,I've thought that he does visits his fansites from time to time just out of curiosity.If I was a celebrity I know I would;just that no one would ever know who I was.

I'd say he cruises thru here every once in awhile....after you wade thru the bullshit, there are some intelligent posts on here.

This is AMAZING!!! i definitely won't judge - but it is fascinating that human beings can feel so emotionally attached and connected with another, even where they've never met in person and have never had a bi-lateral conversation, where one party has no idea the other party even exists much less cares and is attached to them. Some may say it's sick or strange, but that's not fair - I think it's just a real testament to human emotion -- that something like this could happen is just amazing.

its not unheard of, even Michael Jackson (who no one knew actually owned a computer because of his dislikes for it) actually mentions in his Invincible booklet his username for a now-defunct fan site.... so why not Prince.... I mean he has a life outside of fame and fortune and hell that don't involve the nosy media and insanity of fans....

Prince does come to this site from time to time.

Proof of this was back in April 2001 I know he posted as the Rainbow Child and gave correct titles to the Ranbow Children songs. Many on this site made fun of those songs because of the titles 1+1+1=3,Everlasting Now,ect.

I think he comes on here to laugh at the fools on this site because it's some funny shit posted on here.
