Laydown should most definately be on the radio!! So should Lavaux!! I guess Prince ain't releasing them to be played here! I don't have a clue why we aren't hearing anything from him about this ablum. A couple videos would be nice too!

Prince is GORGEOUS. I'm inspired. GOD is GREAT. Is there anything else to say? lol

You gotta pay to be on the radio. Why do you think they play the same crap over and over again. Payola! Prince don't need it. And anything off 20Ten is better than most of the shit on radio nowadays.

None of 20ten is radio worthy.

Not only is it not the "style" of the day but the music is just plain terrible. I can barely tell one song from another except for Lavaux, Everybody Loves me, and Laydown. Those 3 aren't necessarily good, just the rest of the songs on the album are borderline indistinguishable.

Lavaux = The only song on the album that's not Laughably bad. Although the lyrics were obviously current I have a funny feeling that he took the music for this song STRAIGHT out of the Vault. It's an 80's cheese throwback that only people who Love the Controversy/1999/Vanity/Time era will like. That being said the Lyrics are weak in parts and the bridge is LAME. Wildboy's verdict, NOT ready for radio.

Everybody Loves me = Crap crap crap. I think this was supposed to be a comedy song like Prettyman or the original Databank, but there's NO punchline on this turkey. This is what you play for people if you want them to think that Prince has lost his mind. No way they'd put this epic turd on Radio.

Laydown = This song contains lots of unintentional humor. Prince's worst rapping to date. Prince has shown that he can do some ok rapping (the double speed rap on I&C is decent) but this is a horrible step backwards. The rhyme's are weak, and the beat barely interesting. I can not believe the guy who wrote SOTT did this song. WTF

Nothing on this album is good enough for the radio. In fact I feel if they played any of this third rate stuff on the radio Prince would LOSE casual fans, not gain them.
