I kinda hope this is the last straw for many of u. So then maybe the bitching about everything he does and everything he doesn't do can cease. Some of u seemed so wrapped up into loving/hating Prince that it is down right pathological.

Prince fucks up a lot of business endevours because he is a control freak. the very same qualities that have allowed him to create and carry on a 30 year music career on his own terms are the same that cause what ever his latest debacle is. Surely u folks realize that they are flipsides of the same coin.

I would hate for Prince to bring himself to u guys level by speaking personnally to u. I know what would happen. Every word would be parsed and he would be desrespected with name-calling and such. Just it would be more directly to his face.

So far the so-called fans have called him a dick, has-been, idiot, thief, loser, everything short of a murderer or anti-christ. Its all not that serious. And if it is serious for u need to go to the doctor and get some xanax because some of u people whole existence seem to revolve around the latest twist in his existence.

While the internet has given everyone a voice and access, it has also revealed how ego-centric, greedy and down right mean a lot of folk are. Its the id run amok.

So yes I hope this latest debacle makes a lot of u go somewhere where u can vent happy thoughts instead of venom. But what I think will happen is those of u who love to degrade will just intensify the hate becuse it the hate that fuels your life.
I have never ever seen a person so concerned with other people's feelings like you are. It's like some kind of vendetta. lol

Vendetta1

At the end of the day, it's only 77 bucks to me. I'm not really shocked by the carrot-dangling thing P seems to continuously do, nor the fuck up with the auto-renew. It's a minor inconvenience that I was pissed about when it happened but I am now over. While I will continue to listen to Prince music, I will not support any new online endeavors, whether I know for sure what we would be getting up front or not.

I think Prince owes members an apology but I am bright enough to know that is not going to happen either.

Nope. Prince fans love abuse. They're like the Michael Jackson fans. Full of delusions and denials.



Excuse me, sir. But as a Michael Jackson fan myself, I resent your comment. No disrespect or nothin', but I'm not delusional nor in denial of anything. MJ has never once screwed his fans with a damn website. MJ.com has been pretty thorough in maintaining a happy fandom, as I can attest to (although after his untimely passing broken , Sony really fucks around with us a lot. They're worse than the fucking FCC). I honestly don't know why Prince mistreats his fans so...but leave MJ out of this, please. He has done nothing to merit this kind of attack.

Yeah, I love Prince. I think he's an amazing artist. But as far as him opening a website goes...I'm not joining or investing my money in it. The org is probably one of the best P fanbases I've come across, so I'm sticking with it. biggrin lol

It started 13 years ago with the Crystal Ball fiasco and it seems to end here, with that "I'm closing my website without a word after one year of virtually nothing" and the credit card fiasco of yesterday.

I've always defended Prince on an artistic and human level, but the business relationship he has with his core fanbase is getting worse & worse. I, like many, really interpreted this whole Lotusflow3r.com xperience as being a very rude "f*ck u" from him 2 us.

& since I'm no so-called "hater" (never was, never will be), i really feel this is just so unfair 2 be treated like this.

Prince owes nothing 2 his fans as a man or as an artist, but he does owe something 2 his "customers" when he sells them a product.

Is this the final divorce between Prince and his core fandom, and do u share this feeling that he wanted it 2 happen and did everything in order 4 it 2 happen?

& therefore... what about the future??? eek


I consider myself a "core" fan and I'm not going anywhere (unless I die sometime soon).

All this crap that's happening is part of the experience being a fan. I take none of it personally. He hasn't sued me or DEMANDED I remove a video from you-tube or asked me to take down a site run with his likeness on it. I do not understand why 9 out of perhaps 10 people take it so personally.

I was hit with the $77 renewal and what? I'm supposed to be pissed? Well, I'm not. I would have liked a letter perhaps a week before the fee was withdrawn from my account but, if I'm not mistaken I am supposed to get it back and deposited in my account (or my wife's account).

I have the $ and I can afford it.

That's why I work.

I sympathize with the fans who were hit with it and it caused them slight financial problems. I say, let's move on and move forward.

Well, I didn't sign up for the site knowing full well in advance Prince's history w/ websites & most of the folks bitching knew too. It doesn't make it right what he did but @ the same time you had to see it coming. He never said he would release all this music he said it was in the works & it might happen. He never promised to deliver anything except what he did. The whole reason I never signed up for the site was b/c he never promised anything or guaranteed any quantity of music outside the specified albums, so I waited until I heard of something, but all I heard was bitching, so there u go. I didn't get burned b/c I knew better so no hard feelings here. I am disappointed he did this to fans that support him, but we'll probably go through this all over again if there's another site. I was a member of the npgmusicclub b/c I kept hearing good things & music kept releasing, plus he changed the price to something more affordable... I'm sorry but anything more than $50 to a music site is absurd, and I'm not falling for it until I hear good enough reviews on it or until I hear I might actually get my money's worth.



Well stated, and i agree. I never joined either. 77 dollars for a t-shirt, lotusflower cd's and being able to watch some videos was not worth it to me.

If a friend treated you like this, they would be gone.
Same goes for that funny little chap Prince.
Reliably disappointing.
Reliably selfish.
Reliably narcissistic.

Thanks for the good times, I wish you well.

I aint casting my pearls B4 the swine, you aint ever killed a rabbit and you aint no friend of mine.

Yeah, well, at least I (and other fans) could get a "hello," a free hug or handshake, and maybe some small talk from Michael if you spotted him walking around without pandemonium.

Unless you resemble Vanity, you couldn't get eye contact from Prince in public even after you paid him $77 for nothing. lol

It maybe funny 'cause it's true, but it's still disappointing. But even though I've spent a lot of my father's money on this dude, I'm not even trying to meet or greet Prince in person. I'm not even interested in that anymore. I see him somewhere on the street, I'm liable to keep walking. disbelief

And just to specify, I meant "you" regarding fans in general, not just xlr8r in particular.
