Being an old school Prince fan from day 1, I still prefer my Prince unfiltered, undiluted, uncontaminated and 100% Prince. No knock on the other artists - I am fans of most of them. I have all of Wilson's, Monet's and Sheila E's albums and would go to see them live. And I don't mind seeing them sit in with Prince or vice versa for a song. I don't want to see an extended jam with a gang of other artists and Prince - I want as much Prince as I can get each time I see him.

I was at Xenophobia and that may have been the only time I didnt mind it so much (though I got tired of the overrated Musiq Soulchild and Rachelle Ferelle ) and that was probably because Prince took over for a couple hours alone every night of the week and it was a different set every night. And who doesn't recall the frustration of having to endure Tamar to get some Prince during that small theatre and club tour afew years ago?

Call me a purist but there is no live musical force greater than Prince Roger Nelson centerstage with the the NPG behind him - alone.

i also was at xenophobia and thank god 4 the opening acts cause i became a fan of victor wooten because of it. rachelle ferell TORE IT UP!!, Benard Allison provided a energetic set and norah jones provided all of us a chance 2 sit down and recouperate while her set was going on. what some don't understand or remember is, concerts normally have what they call OPENING ACTS or SUPPORT ACTS that allow the headliner to do their thing as well.

hmmm wasn't prince a OPENING act once upon a time in his career? if no one wants 2 see any of the opening acts then show up late 2 the show..but chances are u will never know when prince would come on stage now would u? There are so many acts i have gotten into because prince introduced their music 2 me and i'm glad that he did that. i may not like janelle monroe but others on this site seem 2 like her music and style, they are fans of mint conditon (i am one), cassandra wilson, and seriously who can turn down seeing sheila e?

so just relax u might discover new music that can last u a lifetime via a prince concert

man, he has such an amazing body of music that it's sad to see him constrict it down to the basics. he's too talented for the lineup he's doing. estelle 81

Today, Prince headed to Harlem to the iconic Apollo Theater to announce he would be serving as Master of Ceremonies for a new concert series called 'Welcome To America,' which will be kicking off this December.

Though he was mum on details like dates and tour stops, the 52 year-old singer/songwriter told the crowd that 'Welcome to America' will showcase some of his favorite artists including Maceo Parker, Janelle Monae, Mint Condition, Esperanza Spalding, Cassandra Wilson, Lalah Hathaway and Sheila E.

The Minnesota native also confirmed that he and the New Power Generation would also perform nightly alongside featured acts.

"If you've been to one of my shows, then you know what time it is," the usually media shy artist joked. "You need to come early and come often because every time we play it's always something new. I got a lot of hits. Bring friends, bring children, and bring foot spray because it's gonna be funky."

"I didn't want to talk too much but how many have seen 'Waiting for Superman,' " he asked before bringing out Harlem Children's Zone head Geoffrey Canada who also spoke briefly about how grateful he is Prince chose Harlem as the venue to announce the series.

Prince will play a special guitar for the duration of the concert series and then auction off the guitar for the benefit of Harlem Children's Zone.

BET's President of Music Programming Stephen Hill, a long-time fan of 'The Purple One,' introduced Prince to the throngs of media outlets present at the press conference. A few months back, the network awarded Prince with a Lifetime Achievement award at the 2010 BET Awards.

Hill reminisced on his first Prince concert in 1982 at the Apollo and more recently flying to Nice, France to see his two-hour set and another two-hour long after-hours set. "I know what I hope he's here to announce," but admitted he was out of the loop on what the big announcement was.

At the press conference, Prince also debuted the full version of his new song 'Rich Friends.'

Earlier this year, he released his album '20Ten' in newspapers across Europe and in the UK, but refused to allow access to the album to digital download services.
