I'm certain that statement broke the hearts of many young guys that admire him. There are some things U just shouldn't say, and that's a perfect example. lol ...disbelief

Well, he obviously is a fan of male artists such as Stevie, Donnie, Sly, JB, etc.

By vocalists I think he means sex music.

I understood that he prefers to listen to female vocalists because he finds them more soothing. Also, a source for inspiration in the composition of ballads.

I remember reading somewhere here that a love scene was cut from Graffiti Bridge 'cause Prince looked quite small next to Jill Jones, who is 5'10'', and the positioning was too awkward....And now he's with a woman that's 6'2''? eek

It was Prince saying, "I'm not gay." It's like how in interviews he used to say that he played every instrument "except horns."

I watched both interviews and I must say 'im very happy with what I saw. We should be happy that he sat down and shared a part of him that we NEVER see. Stop with all the negative hating bull! You may not agree with prince, so move on and shut up! I come on the org to learn and share and enjoy prince's music and all I end up leaving with is anger. If your a fan why so much hate? On the subject of 'chem trails' I dont know if our govt is spraying chems to control but maybe you should look into the effects that why the trails are left (jet fuel) and what effects if any the chemicals in the fuel could have on a person. After seeing the interview I have a new respect for him as a person. He is right there is to much hate in the world we need each other.


I agree with that. Im bitter when it comes to cheating men and i vent sometimes at Prince cause people say he has cheated on all of his women. Namely, Mayte and Mani. Its an emotional hell to be cheated on by someone you love, I have been there and its not fun! I love his music and I will always be a fan but i dont respect him as a person because of the way he treats women. Its wrong. His father told him not to get married, it all started there.

El Debarge would work the shit out of a ballad betta than Prince. Singing in his higher register...yeh wutevs. Princey could easily find a male protege who could work the high vocals. Besides I think many music lovers prefer a man's smooth tenor or baratone voice on a ballad anyway. I'm telling you Princey just don't want to share the groupie pussy, he doesn't want the competition.

Just listened to the full interview. Prince, you are a source of inspiration for my life, I don't really know why but you make me desire to be a better person and to follow my dreams. Why? I don't know, but thank you.
I believe in my dreams and they'll come true.

It seems after:
- thinking record companies are threatening black artists as slaves, and,
- making yourself braindead by following the watchtower,
- believing that an evil government is violating their own people with chemicals,

Is yet another one of the unsubstantiated dogma's Prince has get obsessed with.

Two things: common sense, get a life.. You should try it Prince.

Jeez...one of the people I held as extremely intelligent just got a whole lot dumber for buying into a conspiracy theory.

Chemtrails...wink Oh you mean water vapour!!!!!

For an extrememly smart man he does sometimes coem across as a little bit stupid for teh sake of being "out there" or "Controversial".

I used to hang on what he said or think "wow, that deep or Id never thought of that"

Now it just a matter of guessing which hammered home category he's going to talk about...slavery, down with the Man, I dont get paid enough or white folks and thier sins

Just my opinion

Here's hoping P does more interviews with Tavis Smiley. He seemed relaxed and happy to be there.

Why as soon as someone believes in something people try to categorize that person in some way. Thats what youre doing. To believe something that may not be accepted as the norm youre labelled a cook or conspiracy theorist. You dont know dude, could be right, could be wrong.

Or like when people categorize someone as a hater. I agree, it's crap.

He has 4 nephews and nieces that I can recall. There might be more I'm sure given that he has 7 siblings in all from his parents prior and remarriages. Only thing is its not clear how close he is too all of them save for Tyka and Omar so who all he's taking care of and how much they get I couldn't tell ya but he is generous with family. He's not like MC Hammer of course but he generous nonetheless. lol

I also thought he was trying to make a general statement about how people from the ghetto who are successful tend to still end up taking care of people in their family who didn't make it out of the ghetto. Sort of like, "White folk may not understand this, but us black people are often taking care of more than just ourselves." It fit with his whole spiel about how white people need to heard this kind of thing.
