Should Prince do a reality show - show ideas listed!

I think YES.

Possible shows:

Celebrity Apprentice (what are some potential scenarios Prince would have with the Donald or another celebrity that Prince has had a not so great past with?)

Someday My Prince Will Come

- Prince trys to find a new girl. In the process he fights with his religious teachings. Special guest appearances by Larry Grahamn to "ground" Prince when he gets a little nasty with the women.

On tour with Prince

- show about the complexities of Prince touring. He discusses events going on with other artists. Ends the show with a live song.

Purple Rain

- Prince works on doing an updated version of Purple Rain. Characters from the movie appear.

Prince of Minneapolis

- Prince critiques Minneapolis bands. They perform, not always knowing when Prince will show up. Prince comes, and offers advice to the bands afterwards. In the end they get a gold ticket to move on or Prince fires them. The finally would be other bands performing and Prince picks the best to open and go on tour. During the talks with bands Prince discusses his own personal experinces in the music business.

Paisly Parts

- Prince decides to have his properties remodeled starting with Paisly Park. In this recession era time Prince is advise as what are the best options for the properties he owes and how to get the most bang for his buck. Turning Paisly Park into a condo is considered. Prince's tax problem is breifly discussed with Prince staing...they been paid...now I want to GET PAID!

Alphabet Street

Prince gets his Dad's car fixed up. He then drives around the country and visits ordinary people who live on streets named from A - Z to ask them about how they are dealing with the recession and to find out how much they know about him. Prince plays a tune every now and then for those who don't know who he is.

Lovesexy

After dressing people up like Prince, Prince talks with people about taking their clothes for a final photo shoot. He refers to the Lovesexy album often and how he was reborn. Prince sheds a tear when he talks about the black album. Larry Grahamn is barred from appearing.

What else?

Damn, I know Squirrel is going nutz right now!

Absolutely not! Music is fine for me. He's already played his hand at acting and critics & fans panned him for it. Not to mention i don't watch reality shows. So its a no for me. What he needs to do is release all the footage of live shows for the last 25 plus years. That would be reality tv for me. wink

Prince did an interview with a woman at Record World. They talked about whatever, then he asked her: "Does your pubic hair go up to your navel?" At that moment, we thought maybe we shouldn't encourage him to do interviews.

if he were to do a reality show, i would suggest "someday my prince will come" or how about a special edition of "the bachelor". i mean think about it. intead of handing out red roses, he could be handing out violets (the color).

@the threadstarter: Thanks for making me smile biggrin Someday My Prince Will Come and Alphabet Street, they sound so funny and interesting.

(off the top of my head)

Style---Prince talks about fashion (his own and others')/Prince helps people to get a makeover

Prince interviews people with personal issues in life and follows the process of fixing them.

Musicology---Prince teaches musically gifted kids with great determination but without enough money to take lessons. They're chosen through auditions with Prince being one of the judges. The lessons are usually student-centered rather than teacher-centered, so they get to express themselves with his loving guidance and support.

How about Prince doing his own version of "Making The Band"...or "Star Search." You know, where he travels around looking for the next big thing to sign to Paisley Park...I've got the title "Prince, the search for the next Protege." I'd watch it! Also, "Prince on Tour" would be great too!

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

The only kind of show I could see him actually doing is something like the Tony Brown Journal, with guests like Dick Gregory (talking about The Man), Howard Jones & Paul McCartney (veggie recipes), or George Benson, Rebbie Jackson, and Serena & Venus Williams (the Watchtower). Then he'd have some musical guests he likes to perform.

You can take a black guy to Nashville from right out of the cotton fields with bib overalls, and they will call him R&B. You can take a white guy in a pin-stripe suit who’s never seen a cotton field, and they will call him country. ~ O. B. McClinton

I really hope you are not being serious.

Because if you are, I might have to kill you.

V10LETBLUES

How about a Survivor type show. Put Prince, Bono, Bruce Springsteen and Elton John and pit them against Justin Timberlake, Lady Gaga, Britney Spears & the kid with the funny hair cut. Drop them in musical waste land, like Iowa, and see if the can gather enough fans to survive off the land.

I think he should do a show on Bravo called "Protegay" - Prince is faced with 5, supposed, women who want to become a performer in his band. In reality only one of them is a real woman and the other 4 are highly convincing female impersonators. Prince's job each week is to vote off the least talented and convincing entrant in his attempts to sniff out a real woman by the end of the season.
