yuck, yuck, yuck....i just couldn't get into it, no matter how had I tried

That Godawful Lovesexy ara picture where he is wearing a chauffer's hat and a TON of makeup..

I love Prince especially when he keeps it "Prince", even when it goes wrong

And the Lovesexy cover is WONDERFUL! One of his absolute best!

There it is. This goes with my prior point. One can love something as a fan, but still face that to the "general population" it's a Big Fat Fail.

Lovesexy cover is personally a favorite of mine (aside from SOTT and ATWIAD I don't think he's had many "great" covers). I like the crispness of it, the colors, the "other-wordliness" of it, and the fact that he had the balls to put it out there period.
But to a lot of the non-fan world it's probably seen as one of worst (or at least WTF ) covers in Popular Music. He got clowned big time for that cover and there's no denying that.

AMEN BROTHA!

Prince's last effort to surpass reality and try to remain the "fantasy" Prince that was known in the 80's and early 90's.

skywalker said:

you aint lyin'. that would have been a good time to cover Dead or Alives "you spin me right round".

Too Prince for his own damn good. If you're going to brand yourself then at least come out with something that smells good and not like baby oil vinnegrette windex.

DesireeNevermind said:

i never even smelled this shit...i didnt feel right seeking another man's scent

Oh honey, Prince was loving those sexy men's hands all over his ass and pumping it. It was earlier on that same show, when he performed "Kiss" and those men made a carosel around him. That bitch was in gay heaven!

peter430044 said:

lol in 2009 I have no problem with that cover
but in 1988 I was so excited to go to the store and get it and then I saw he cover, I was so embarassed, even though I didn't mind it, I just didn't want to lay that face up, I waited until no one seemed to be going to the cashier, rushed it home turned it inside out

Now if it was a 'poster' on the inside it would have been cool like the Controversy bathroom poster, I would have said to myself 'uh oh Rude Boy is about to turn it out' I picture of prince with the band would have been cool or the photo of him in the black suit with the big white buttons

This might have been mentioned, but I think a GREAT example is not allowing his music on outlets like You Tube.

REALLY backfiring!

The "control freak" that is Prince is a little "too controlling" for his own good.

Imagine how much more of a legend he would be if his boots were available on You Tube... songs like Just My Imagination, and videos like 18 and Over.

Wow.

That's Keeping it Prince going WRONG! His control freakness!

methodcal said:

I agree, but even more Prince had already adapted to rap without changing his sound voice or style (I still hate songs where his voice has that 'trying to be down, rappish feel)

via Hollyrock, Love or Money, Alphabet St, Positivity, It's Gonna Be a Beautiful Night, Girls & Boys and a few others that had poetic/rap pieces and vibes and it was straight up Purple Music

very true...

WetDream said:

Prince had shown us his nether regions long B4 Lovesexy
And I still like the Lovesexy cover

I love that picture, another side of the wildness, it represented the high energy of Lovesexy

I heard on the radio, weeks before the release of the album, that Prince had posed nude on the cover. My only complaint was that his dick wasn't showing. What the hell is the purpose of posing nude if you ain't gonna show the dick?

...there is no such thing as "TOO MUCH PRINCE"

Dude is already a legend and he would not make one penny from any of that being on YOUTUBE. I can't understand why some of you don't understand that not one penney of a royalty is being paid out by YOUTUBE.

In addtion, did people who paid for the first music club get a chance to see the video for 18 and over?

I am sure if YOUTUBE coughed up money tommorow you would you see Prince stuff on the site.

I think the RAVE cover was the worst because he looks so sinister looking.

trust me, i understand why prince is doing this..but he's also limiting the proclimation of his legacy by severing ties where all new information and media is traded.

until prince embraces the blogsphere/free-media revolution he wont see the praise his art truly deserves

and i stand by that statment as a DEVOTED fan

Thanks for sharing!

I thought the We Are The World 20th reunion - where Prince sucked on a lollipop the whole time - was "Prince" gone wrong.
