the Planet Earth title track and Future Baby Mama...

I can easily live without the rest....................

Somewhere Here On Earth

I know U're out there
I can feel your eyes on me
I've seen that face a thousand times
If only in my dreams

I know U really want me
I can feel your hands on me
I really wanna touch U, 2
In a way I'm much 2 shy 2 speak

And even though I'm all alone
4 what it's worth U're somewhere here on Earth
And I like it

I know U're out there
I can feel U getting closer 2 me
I'm just wondering what U're waiting 4
U know I am free

In this digital age — U could just page me
I know it's a rage, but it just don't engage me
Like the face 2 face ... U wanna do this at yours, or my place?

It's been so long since I been with somebody
Like a million years
But now U're here on Earth
U're here, U're here

Somewhere here on Earth
And I like it, I like it

Listen...
I know U hear me
Like a whisper in your ear
U don't have 2 fear me
U're everything I hold so dear

I know U already love me
U're probably just 2 cool 2 say
Somebody, somewhere put U down
But that's ok, that's ok

Cuz whatever U feel, it's time 2 heal
No, no more hurt as long as I'm here on Earth

Someone certainly has too much time on their hands or "Prince" envy.. LOL

ROLLING STONE

Prince Planet Earth (Sony)

"I love you, baby, but not like I love my guitar," Prince leers in "Guitar," between blasts of heroically pointless Edge-style soloing. It's his most slamming summer jam since "P Control" in the summer of '94, or "Alphabet St." in the summer of '88, or maybe "Delirious" in the summer of '83.

What did people do for fun in the summer before Prince? Planet Earth is one of those albums he makes when he's trying a little harder than usual, if not hard enough to alienate his core audience, which loves him for indulging himself.

" Planet Earth" and "Lion of Judah" continue the hard-rock groove, while "Future Baby Mama" and "Somewhere Here on Earth" revisit his smooth R&B side. As for "Guitar," he's decided to jack the post-punk revival, so he swipes a guitar riff from U2 ("I Will Follow") and a bass line from Duran Duran (the same song that provides his album title). Wily bastard

I never thought about the bassline sounding like "Planet Earth" by Duran Duran. It's funny because on their last tour they played 2 songs in a row to a sampled loop of the the Sign o' the Times beat and John Taylor played the bass line from Hot Thing (he even told me so at an afterparty himself! I was the cameraman on a local video interview, and managed to talk to him and Nick Rhodes about Prince )

Ah, good times
Very cool stage, the only problem was it's position in the middle, which caused some sound issues. And the former npg members got the bad seats in the back...
The aftershows were cool. Indigo2 was a nice and easy location. Dancing on Prince funk in a small venue while sipping on cocktails it's an experience I hope to have at least a few more times.

The title track, Lion of Judah and Guitar are really fun to play on guitar as far as getting your rock on... the rest is good for pure listening pleasure.

half the album is very good....half is poor.......the first 5 tracks plus chelsea rodgers are very good imo....the other 4 are very poor .....somewhere here on earth and chelsea are top drawer prince tracks.....no doubt.....

As a taster for his 21 dates at the O2 arena in August, Prince played a two-hour, late-night secret show at the 1,500-capacity Koko in London last night.

Superbly backed by a new line-up for the New Power Generation, which included two Beyoncés-lookalike dancing twins, singer Shelby Johnson and a horn section featuring Maceo Parker, it was a performance few of the people lucky enough to squeeze into the Camden venue will forget.

Coming on stage at midnight, he teased us with "So many hits, so little time". Punctuated by solo turns by Parker and Johnson, the 20-number set included Kiss, Nothing Compares to U, Girls and Boys, Musicology, and ripped-up versions of U Got the Look and the Hendrix-inspired Let's Go Crazy. As well as a broad sweep of his back catalogue, including tracks from last year's 3121 album, there were covers of Play that Funky Music, Amy Winehouse's Love is a Losin' Game and Gnarls Barkley's Crazy.

During one extended jam, Prince disappeared from view and emerged in the middle of the audience on the first floor balcony, grabbing a handful of fans to join him on stage. It all proved too much for one girl, who leapt on the singer and attempted to straddle him as he lay on the stage before being hauled away by security.

Doubtless she was carried away by the sheer hedonistic euphoria, generated not only by the man himself, who even at the age of 48 did nothing to belie his status as music's supreme performer, but also by an ecstatic audience.

"You give me the energy to do this", he told us. "At the O2 we're gonna turn that thang out. They're gonna be the best shows you've ever seen." You better believe it.

This picture pretty much sums up Prince's internet fan base.

All fans live in Saudi Arabia and surrounding countries?
