I still think he was really interested in Esperanza Spalding and - when he couldn't get her - went for a lookalike. shrug

I've seen the two of them perform. P and Esperanza playing together was amazing, incredible sound! Now that, I'd pay to see again. I'm glad you brought it up.

Once again, I do give credit where credit is due. wink

why was she even doing amy's song when shelby has always sang that song and IMO gave it more depth in vocals?

Yes, Shelby can blow. Stacey Francis can blow. I will give give credit when credit is due, to people like that. However, I don't drink that Purple Kool Aid.

speaking of stacey, isn't she on the X factor? i haven't watched it much but did come across the name and instantly thought of her singing with P in london in 95

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

She sure is, and people are going nuts over her singing.

and the more i think about the title ..Oui? that means YES in french! lawd have mercy ..so the song is called yes can luv? wtf?



nod Another reason I won't listen to her sing his song. The title change is so corny. She obviously doesn't think so or wouldn't tell him even if she did think it was corny bcuz she's just happy to have this gig. As someone who has followed Prince4 career for many years I don't like when he tries to play people like they are mindless robots who should appreciate everything he does bcuz he's Prince. I couldn't appreciate Andy's cove of Amy Winehouse's song bcuz I felt Prince was using Amy's death to help give his new protegee more exposure. It wasn't a sincere tribute to Amy Winehouse imho. This cover of Prince's song is another thing to keep us going on about her so he can get more people interested in seeing them in concert. I get it.

why was she even doing amy's song when shelby has always sang that song and IMO gave it more depth in vocals?


Because Prince likes the song and I think he once preformed it with Amy. If Amy had not been on drugs he would have tried to scoop her up when she first got started. This is what he does. She wasn't even buried or cremated before he released Andy covering one of Amy's songs. I thought they were being tasteless and very opportunistic. I loved Amy and Andy Allo can't replace her no matter if she is working w/ Prince. Shelby and the rest have to take a back seat. Prince has big plans for Andy. Wash, Rinse, Repeat. biggrin

Her hairstyle is not original but she's pretty so people are praising her on FB and acting like she's the first woman to wear a big afro. I think people are only stroking her ego on FB because she's with Prince.

Some of those people are fawning over her like she's done something so amazing bcuz they see her performing w/Prince. It's funny. She's imitating tons of people, her look is average which is why she got lots of work as a model. She looks harmless, ethnic. And relatable but she won't for long if Prince continues to have his way w/ her. Esperanza, Janelle, and Nikki refused to stay on his bandwagon bcuz they won't let Prince mold them into what he wants them to be. Again, Andy is from Cameroon. She's a perfect pick for Prince to Wash, Rinse, Repeat.

Me too but Esperanza is a talented, mature, and an accomplished artist. Prince would never get her to dance around in circles while he cheers her on like she's a child or a dog. It sounded like Prince even yelled out, "Touch cha toes sugah!" eek lol He tried to slur and cover it up because if he did say that it would make him sound more like Lil Jon & the East Side Boyz than Prince the Jehovah Witness. Listen to it and tell me it doesn't sound like he told Andy to touch her toes lol but then again, I may have a hearing problem. neutral Esperanza doesn't need gimmicks. When Andy danced in circles it reminded me of when a parent tells a toddler or their pet to do a trick or whatever they think is cute in front of family and friends. It was nothing special. Then some people commented on her FB like she created the Electric Slide. I think it was only bcuz Prince was cheering her on, trying to make Andy the creator of some dance that's been out for ages. It takes a certain type of woman to get in that close to Prince and history shows what type of women he flaunts.

whew! some of you all...not just you "umanbing" but def you included are being mean and nasty about Andy in this thread. damn near bullying I say! in the post above you basically compare her to a child or a dog. neutral all you Andy bashers have the right to your opinions but when you go on and on an on and say the same stuff over and over and over it turns into bullying. For someone who chooses a username such as "umanbing" you sure seem to have forgotten that Andy is also a human being with feelings. I mean can you imagine being her and reading all the nasty shit that you and other have just said about her "nothing special" looks and voice. ? HARSH! too harsh!! IMO that is. rolleyes

She's adorable, has a sweet voice and musical ability that far outweighs mine. Perhaps your voice and musical ability blows her out of the water? maybe that's why you feel you have the right to critize her to this extent?

I'm not saying anyone has to like her, I just feel the ugly opinions have been said over and over and over and it's just too much at this point.

"not a fan" falloff yeah...ok

@Shorty, I disagree w/ you. I didn't call her a child or a dog. I expressed my opinion about her and other things her and Prince have done since they've hooked up. I haven't done anything close to bullying. Just bcuz someone is not praising her w/ pretty comments they must be bullying her? I agree I've made my opinions clear about her and Prince but so have others. If you think she's adorable w/ a sweet voice it's fine w/ me. My voice and musical abilities are irrelevant. We all have our gifts and talents. I wish Andy well especially since she is being controlled by Prince. Wash, Rinse, Repeat.

I didn't say you called her a child or a dog. I said you compared her to a child or a dog...which you did.

Your comments came across to me like one of the kids in the circle who is laughing and taunting and picking on someone....you may not be the ring leader but you sure ain't the one sticking up for the picked upon either.

so confident that she's being "controlled" by Prince huh? how is it you know this? I guess I'm an optimist, I like to think that maybe...just maybe Andy could be good for Prince. The fact that she's even posting stuff like song snippets and pictures of him and or her from on stage..maybe she's getting through to him that the internet is NOT dead and is infact a very live and vibrant way of getting the word out.

but hey...don't worry about how you came across to me, I'm nobody. If you're good with it...that's all that matters right?

You're right, you didn't say that and I was going to edit it and the part about Andy being controlled by Prince. I don't know so I edit it to "it looks like Andy is being controlled by Prince." Do you really believe she needs to get through to Prince about the internet NOT being dead? I'm sure Prince is well aware of the internet. I don't know why his fans like to assume each woman he's with is his woman or she's going to be good for him? We are so into his personal life and I think Prince really plays off of it w/ his fans. I'm an optimist and I'm also a realist. I think many women have been good for Prince but unfortunately history and reality has proven Prince is not always good for the women. I don't know but I think Prince warned Andy about how opinionated us fans can be. They put it out there and know criticism comes w/ the fame, money, and praise. I haven't been harsh on this site. I was harsh w/ a comment I made about them on another site and I felt bad about it. Huemans sometimes say and do things that are harsh. I apologize to Prince and Andy if you read it and didn't think it was funny. It was harsh so if I was being harsh I would mention it here and I won't. I don't think you're a nobody. I call things like I see them so I'm good w/ every comment I've made and I make no apologies. These are only my personal feelings.

Prince is a transgendered succubus. He sucks all the youth out of clueless women. This is why he stays looking so young and perky.

He uses his Jehovahness and glittery disposition to lure them into the trap.

If it's on Youtube and Docfunkenberry (the internet) I consider it a release. Not a release for a price but a release for exposure. Andy's singing style is not far from Amy's so I think it was tasteless and opportunistic when they quickly attached Andy's name to an Amy Winehouse song as soon as she died. I'd like to know if Prince and Andy both came up w/ the idea since the other day Andy shared on FB a great skit her and Prince came up with. I didn't get it so I didn't think it was great. I kinda feel like they're trying to tell me they come up with the ideas together and Prince is NOT controlling Andy. lol As the days go by and these things are put out there (released) by Andy I'm starting to think it's not my imagination. lol

It's not like Prince or Andy posted the video on Youtube, someone at the concert did. Also, I think it is common practice amongst muscians to cover a fellow muscian's work as a sign of respect. IMO that's all it was. I am pretty sure Prince and Andy were not the only one's singing an Amy Winehouse song during that time frame. Just a sign of Respect.

It was a tribute to her and "someone" sent the track to Docfunkenberry.

If the covers are not great I don't want it in my head. Cyndi Lauper, Chaka Khan, MeLisa Morgan, and Stephanie Mill have all done great covers of Prince's songs. If the cover is great I want to hear it.

that would be cool however his ego couldn't take it that another male on stage would swoon the ladies and take away from him

Yeah, dude was damn near ready to thrown Miko out just because he was getting some of the chicks that he wanted. And, look what he did with The Time when Morris, Jesse, and the fellas were getting all that lady love from the crowd (in addition to the fact that they were kickin' his ass on an almost nightly basis). He started shuttin' that shit DOWN, so you KNOW he wouldn't take to kindly to some NEW dude taking away some of the ladies' attention from his old ass! lol

I finally just watched the O7 documentary today, and yes, I agree 100% that he could not, would not, have male proteges! It's the male ego thing (a dude's not gonna bend for another dude); plus a male protege could run faster than him and smash eggs on him! lol

And it seems, at least back then, that he couldn't have really talented, independent-minded proteges either, because they wouldn't want to be controlled to the extent that he did back then. He may be less controlling w/ his proteges nowadays - I don't know - but I do notice, as have others here, that his new protegee's style of dress and mannerisms have become more "princely" of late.

When Andy first appeared on the scene I went to YouTube and found a few of her songs. I wanted to like her voice, I tried to like it....but, I just don't. And I still don't, so I'm not a fan of this latest snippet. I'm glad for all of you that enjoy her singing but her voice is just not for me. I enjoy Bria's voice more, and I don't throw that out there lightly. lol

I also think the "OUI" Can Funk is dumb, and since I'm complaining here lol I'll also mention that reading her FB posts where she spells out 'eye' for 'I' is hilariously pathetic.

She's incredibly gorgeous though, no doubt about that!

Yeah, dude was damn near ready to thrown Miko out just because he was getting some of the chicks that he wanted. And, look what he did with The Time when Morris, Jesse, and the fellas were getting all that lady love from the crowd (in addition to the fact that they were kickin' his ass on an almost nightly basis). He started shuttin' that shit DOWN, so you KNOW he wouldn't take to kindly to some NEW dude taking away some of the ladies' attention from his old ass! lol

I finally just watched the O7 documentary today, and yes, I agree 100% that he could not, would not, have male proteges! It's the male ego thing (a dude's not gonna bend for another dude); plus a male protege could run faster than him and smash eggs on him! lol

And it seems, at least back then, that he couldn't have really talented, independent-minded proteges either, because they wouldn't want to be controlled to the extent that he did back then. He may be less controlling w/ his proteges nowadays - I don't know - but I do notice, as have others here, that his new protegee's style of dress and mannerisms have become more "princely" of late.

yeah like tc ellis ever had a shot lol falloff

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
