Some songs I can stand but are pretty forgetable (Planet Earths, SHOE, Future Baby Mama, Guitar), the rest is utter crap, and Chelsea Rigers is hardly a Prince song, more a Shelby song.

The concerts and aftershows were great.

The book is a huge waste of money and opportunity, the CD is nice - enjoyed it.

I fear that Musicology was the start of making less fascinating CD's as an excuse to get a good money deal, and then do a series of concerts to further cash in. It's great that he treats us to nice concerts but a real shame that most new material is so uneventful, even to him, that it hardly ever makes the playlist. Let's hope he finds a more interesting way of distributing his music and will be a bit more critical as to what ends up on the disc.

I loved SHOE and Chelsea Rodgers.

"Sitting on the floor of an all-white room feeling like the color blue" -I love that line in Lion of Judah, but I always seem to want to change the song after that line.

Chinawhite Nightclub

6 Air Street, W1B 5AA, Central London, UK

Chinawhite is one the most prestigious clubs in Central London. The nightclub is famous for the VIP guests and celebrities including Prince Harry and many others. Special parties, a glamorous atmosphere, shows and many surprises for one of the sexiest crowds in town.

Taking a break from his 21 day London tour, Prince visited the infamous China White nightclub. Word on the street is that Prince refused to leave the nightclub until he was covered from London's torrential rain by TWO umbrella's. Apparently his security was overheard saying that not one drop of rain was to land on him or else! You have to laugh, but hey it's Prince,

That was one awesome summer in London - literally right in my backyard!

I'm sure aside from the final night (which was always gonna be a banger) - The August 28th Aftershow was unquestionably LEGENDARY.

Such a shame about the albums

Prince, who is known for not giving interviews to the media did the unthinkable on Thursday in Miami Beach. He told a crowd of reporters he would take their questions regarding his half-time show during this year's Super Bowl.But the fact that he had his whole band and back-up dancers in position and with their instruments on should have been a dead giveaway that Prince had a trick up his sleave. When the first reporter opened his mouth to ask a question, Prince and the band set off a three song jam session, giving fans a preview of what to expect.His purple majesty wasn't the only famous face present at the media event. Billy Joel and the Cirque Du Soleil performers were also there. Joel, however, focused on a more traditional type of press conference, giving the media his thoughts on singing the national anthem.Later in the evening Chopper 4 captured images of the dress rehearsal held by Prince at Dolphin Stadium, set atop a stage shaped like the symbol he's been using as a moniker for years.

Tickets for what is being billed as the Earth Tour go on sale at 9am on Friday (May 11).

The other shows will be announced at a later date.

The ticket price of £31.21 will also include a copy of Prince’s as-yet-untitled new album.

Speaking at a press conference in London today (May 8), Prince said he and his band had rehearsed 150 songs for the dates, the only European shows he will perform this year.

He also revealed his wish for Amy Winehouse to join him onstage for a version of her track ‘Love Is A Losing Game’.

Prince also said that after the shows he was going to take time off to travel and study The Bible. He also revealed he’s been house-hunting in London, and added: “I really like Earl's Court , but I can’t live there!”

yes yes this brings back good memories

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

I know, I know a lot of fans didn't care for them but they just added a bit of Uptown 2 Prince. I will always be used to Prince around sexy women. I won't say anything about the singers he has now.

They were cool but something wasn't right
They had me fooled 4 a minute and then I saw the truth

CHORUS:
None of them got what it takes 2 be a future baby mama
Gotta bend in the wind, but don't break 2 keep your man
Show me one of them and I'll make her mine with no more drama
Future baby mama

I've heard it said that I won't treat U right
(U know that ain't right)
But they ain't sure cuz they don't know nothing about U
(U know U want me, baby)
U're 2 secure 2 ever wanna fuss and fight
(That's right)
That's why your man never ever got a reason 2 doubt U

None of them got what it takes (Got what it takes)
2 be a future baby mama

2 keep your man (Hey hey hey hey)
Show me one of them and I'll make her mine
With no more drama (No more drama)
Future baby mama

Yeah, I know U might be fine but I seen it all before
Cinderella was a waste of time then oops, she's out the door
2 build a house 2gether, the thing that matters most (Matters most)
Is under the floor ... a strong foundation that lasts 4ever more

I want 2 make U happy, baby
(Oh yes)
Happier than happy itself
(Oh yes)
U know what?
If U ever need a hand, call me, I'll help (Call me, call me, call me)
Cuz I got U, wherever U wanna go, mm-hmm
(Oh yes)
Paris, London, Africa, San Lucas, Mexico
U see, I know what U want
(I know ) {x2}
What every good woman wants
A man so in love with U
He can't help but 2 flaunt U
Deep down I know what U want

Mr. Goodnight

Mister, mister
I love U, mister

Come on

CHORUS: {different backgrounds in each}
Call Mr. Goodnight
He'll make U feel alright (What what?)
Make U throw your head back and holla
It's so nice, so nice (That's right)
Better not tell your girlfriend (Don't do it)
U can try with all your might (3121) (All your might)
Just can't keep a secret
About goodnight, goodnight

Hey, baby, hey baby, hey, baby, sittin' all alone in my courtyard
Lookin' as if U had every right
All over the world they call me "Prince"
But U can call me "Mr. Goodnight"
Surely the dandies that escort U places
Imparted a rumor or 2
About the parade of lovely faces
That follow me, surely they do
What say U 2 that, with lips so inviting
It's all I can do not 2 stare
What say U 2 them, past, present and future
That U don't care? (Yeah, I don't care)
If so, U'll be the first, and I'll give U the keys
2 the whip of your dreams, alright? (Alright)
All over the world they call me "Prince" (Yeah)
But U can call me "Mr. Goodnight"

Call Mr. Goodnight
He'll make U feel alright (Alright)
Make U throw your head back and holla (Yeah)
It's so nice, so nice
Better not tell your girlfriend
U can try with all your might (Better not)
U just can't keep a secret
About goodnight, goodnight

Now I don't wanna put 2 U 2 sleep
With a bunch of chatter and a rap that really don't matter (No)
But now that U know who I am U need 2 make plans
And all your other pennies should scatter (Scatter)
A limousine about 2 pick U up and then take U 2 a private jet (G-5) (Yeah)
And there U're gonna meet a little Spanish man
Who will offer U wine or Moet
In a hour or 2, U'll be taken 2 a suite that will rival your wildest dreams
And on the bed 3 dresses 2 choose one, pick one
Then U get a call from me (Br-r-r-ring)
Tell me which dress U chose so I can put on, put on
My matching suit
All the real dimes throw your hands up
U know how Mr. Goodnight do

CHORUS
(Call him)
(Alright)
(Come on, come on) (I don't want nobody else)
(Think he won't?)
(Don't do it)
(3121)

I love U, baby
I don't want nobody else

Call Mr. Goodnight (U can call him any time at all)
Call Mr. Goodnight (Yeah, yeah, yeah) (I love U, mister)

MP3: Mike Philly in the band got jams at midnight (Hey)
Before the main attraction, U see
Slow it down — "Somewhere Here On Earth"
Just 2 check how your reaction be
And if your heartbeat goes up a notch or 2
There ain't no telling what I might do
But I got a mind full of good intentions (Uh oh)
And a mouth full of Raisinets (Better not tell U...)
We can watch 'Chocolat' on the big screen
Before we convene in the pool (Yeah)
The waterfall'll wash your cares away
Already I love U, I do

CHORUS
(Mister Mister)
(So nice)
(Mr. Goodnight)

The energy in this field's been known 2 flicker lights, a'ight?
A symphony with no rest, acapella moans and a bridge of sighs, ooh, goodnight (Call, call)
Undeterred nevertheless a masterpiece on butterscotch thighs (Call me, call me)
Turn off the lights, turn off the lights (Yeah)
It's time 4 Mr. Goodnight
