True, the rehearsal is almost like being at a soundcheck, but over the internet.

Why is this NOT on lotusflow3r.com?

Why isn't this thread a sticky?

They finally turned it into a sticky. Very good.

Prince's self titled album from 1979...how could u not know...

I'm really digging this performance. I like the fact that he sings it in the lower register, really works for the song IMHO. Band sounds hot.

who cares why he's not singing in falsetto? i'm just glad it's not some
over polished over glammed performance.

it's nice to see his gritty side once in a while. i've been over his
using his falsetto so much for a while now. it's nice to hear him do
these type of songs in his normal register.

i like it ...very smooth

D: None of the above.

I don't know why he's not but I kinda liked it with out the falsetto.

IstenSzek said:

Oh I don't know, the millions of people who fell in love with the song BECAUSE he originally sang it in falsetto!!!

Damn!! It's nice that he's singing it. I've said as much but for 30 motherfucking years now...many, many of us have wanted to hear him do it live, the way that only HE could have done it, in his falsetto!

So who the fuck cares what you are over? We're not over it! So !

finally got into funkenberry. The music sounds great. I miss the falsetto.

I appreciate it very much....even if I think it's a little too quiet.

All I hope is it will be more funky on stage. See you soon in Paris (next month I guess)

we are lucky frogs!

The vocal and the ending aside, this is VERY close to the original recording. Not sure whether I`m so glad with that ...

Maybe this is a rehearsal for the new master version?

Yes we're lucky... & we all should be thankful for that.

Of course on stage it's gonna b funky !!!!!

Hey people this is Prince !

It's on only a rehearsal...



*Une répétition dure des heures... c'est trés eprouvant & c'est avant tout fait pour caler les morceaux pas pour tout donner comme 1 gros veau... veaux, que sont certains sur se site & sur d'autres que je ne citerais pas... & qui ne comprennent rien à rien !!!!!


*Translation:
In spite of a certain ambient mediocrity & in spite of pitiful in any kinds... Prince... you're still the Best !

I never really liked it sung in the falsetto, much prefer it this way.

bless you, you silly angry cunt.

great translation

thanks for posting this.

The more I listen to it, the more I like it.

You'd be hard-pressed to find the link on LOtusScam.com, Prince's less than one year old $77 subscription website.

A favorite sound.
The nice music

Wow what a great surprise to start the day. I miss that intro riff he tacked on back in the day but this is still sick! Even sounds good without the falsetto. Come to BOSTON Prince! Pleaaase.

I don't think they did, but they did make it a featured article.

Maybe Prince wanted to share something with those that cannot afford the USD77

Lots of ifs, buts and maybes but not worth stressing about, as it is almost certain that you will never ever know. Frustrating as it is. (I am a member too)

Stressed? No
Ripped the hell off? Very yes.

IstenSzek said:

I'm with you, I prefer the lower registers, like on Mr. Goodnight, LOVELOVELOVE his voice on that...deep and sexy!

It's not that I don't like falsetto and I appreciate the talent, but my ears sometimes can't take it, physically. Not just Prince, a lot of MJs songs bother me too, even the old J5 stuff. It's like my eardrums cringe, heavy bass hurts too and really makes me feel weird.

You know, that's actually what I wanted them to do but I'm so used to calling those a sticky. And it's cool that they did that. The introduction on the front page was a bit much but what can you do? It's front page news.
