Dance 4 Me or Valentina? Possible hits? these have the most potential in my opinion
with the right videos and marketing though then again, they sound too good for radio to notice | |

Yep Dance 4 Me has the most potential regardless if it's a hit it already is with me and so is Valentine love them both The greatest live performer of our times was is and always will be Prince.
Remember there is only one destination and that place is U All of it. Everything. Is U. | |

'Dance 4 Me' is great. 
'Valentina' is woeful.  Possibly the lowest point on the 2 albums. | |

your looking at the wrong album, the only songs that can be hits are feel good, feel better - $ - and dreamer. given enough airplay. | |

If Dance 4 Me didn't have the "funky congregation" stuff in it, it could be a top 40 pop hit. | |

Maybe not on the pop chart, but he will have a hit on the Urban AC charts for sure. Dance 4 Me has number one written all over it. I need to send it to some of my radio friends. **--••--**--••**--••--**--••**--••--**--••**--••-

with the right videos and marketing though then again, they sound too good for radio to notice precisely - radio is going to whiff on this just as they always do. Put onthe ear goggles and sit down to listen to Valentina - the layers are pure genius and vintage Prince. This kind of intricate art is lost on most - especially the media.

Okay, lets put this to rest. Prince will not have hits.
And who cares. The radio is bought and paid for by the record labels who pay to have their artists songs played. P is independent. No money to push the song on the radio. He coulda had a hit from alot of his CD's but he dont have the $ or label to push it. It is all about the $$$$ Stand Up! Everybody, this is your life!

I think you might find it has something to do with the songs as well. | |

The fact that Valentina could even be a hit shows what a disaster this album is. 2010: Healing the Wounds of the Past.... http://prince.org/msg/8/325740 | |

dance 4 me is the only one that could get spins today out of all of the new stuff. not saying it is the only good song, just saying that it is the only one that can play on modern radio and get enough positive feedback to play for a while.

I need to send it to some of my radio friends. i agree with this. this is the ONE and only time in damn near fifteen years of chart chasing that he's successfully captured the vapid repetitiveness of actual, modern popular music. i like the music and the singing but DAMN how man times can he repeat that phrase?  it's time for a new direction / it's time for jazz to die | |

'tmgitw' was a hit because npg retail bought palettes full of it. it's time for a new direction / it's time for jazz to die | |

My opinion is just an opinion as a lover of all the songs. "Valentina," seems to be the stronger of the two songs, however Dance 4 Me, is more light hearted. Overall I wouldn't suggest either of them for singles as becomming hit songs on the radio, although they are hits on the living room floor, or in the car.
Sometimes there are reasons that I can't explain, and in the same boat, there are songs that I believe should be released as singles...and people will disagree with me.  "The Lion Sleeps Tonight... | |

and 4 some reason "Dance 4 Me", reminds me a little of "I Can Make You Dance" by Zapp/Roger Troutman. | |

If Valentinas and her momma were in the video, this could be a big hit. They do know each other so maby this could happen. With the right video, it could do very well. U might not like the taste, but I'm still going to stick your face in this Funk | |

not at all. these r just a few songs that are catchy pop/dance songs that may appeal to a wider audience-- Im more partial to olskool company , but that would not appeal to the general zombies out there who want the standard catchy pop number. This album is no disaster. Stand Up! Everybody, this is your life!

Dance 4 Me would be a #1 smash hit for Prince on all the charts if the politics of radio were different than they are now. This song has a great chorus, a great groove, it's the best "single" Prince has done in a while. If only things were different.  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 | |

nope. Prince won't be have big hits anymore. besides Valentina is truly awful. i like Dance 4 Me though.
The only one i could see on the radio at all would be Chocolate Box but that wouldn't be a hit | |
