See what happens when you shut out all the people that would be willing to give you constuctive criticism?

This is what you get when you surround yourself with "yes" people.


no matter what anyone says in this thread, this is not a good look for something you're releasing to the general public. yeah to some of you nuts on here this is somehow presentable, but to any non prince fanatic this looks ridiculous

I'm sure this same statement was said way back when he was wearing the bikini underwear with the trench coats, the ruffled shirts with tight pants and heavy eyeliner, the cut out butt pants, the lovesexy album cover, the word slave was written on his face, the high heeled shoes...and yet here we are 30 years later and the majority of the world, fan or no fan, knows who this man is. Just sayin'.

I will forever love and miss you...my sweet Prince.

Thumbs up to that. I'm still trying to figure out if this is for real. Maybe Militant is playing a late April fools joke?

lovesexy practically bombed, dirty mind wasnt that commercial successful, i dont think he was selling many records with his slave face days either was he? you're proving my point!

Bogey and Bacall, peanut butter and jelly, Wall being on fucking point, is "classic" dipshit. An iphone is top shelf technology. Get it straight. This thing is 4g. -Wall the great

But Lovesexy didn't bomb because of the cover, the era itself was extremely successful.

Dirty Mind Prince was just getting out there, there was only a short period of time from For U -Dirty Mind that those albums were released. And Dirty Mind took his popularity to the next level

Buy the 'slave' era Prince had too much happening in his life to be on the up of success.

But what Missfee said said for the first half is correct, the 1970/80's allowed for a wide range of flamboyancy in clothing and looks, so the bikini hi heeled boots trench coats(those were regular fashion by the way) and the ruffled shirts (rick james wored them too) were very popular and acceptible in the 1980's

Remember when Lenny first cut his dreads and the first time you see him you're like... "wow, whoa what happened??" but then eventually you get used to it? Well I think we'll get used to this too.. its different, but with time it'll grow on us.

Change it one more time..

im talking about the record itself, obviously tours are going to sell out regardless because of nostalgia and whawt not

No, I was responding to your statement as saying that to any non-Prince fan, he will look ridiculous. Well my point is that he's looked ridiculous in the eyes of many for years, yet it really didn't matter because his popularity didn't fade. In talks of how his record sales went, well that's a whole different topic in itself.

I will forever love and miss you...my sweet Prince.

i know what you're saying, but what i was originally talking about is how marketable this goofy picture is going to look on an album cover. but now that i think about it, i cant imagine anyone my age that i know buying a new prince album. so i guess the image really doesnt make a difference

THIS.

And, people, I didn't magic this image out of thin air. As I already explained, it's from the "Welcome 2 Australia" tour promo page, you can go and look for yourself. I saw it on there and on other fans FB and Twitter pages before I even posted it here, so I am definitely not "playing a late April Fools joke"

No, it isn't. It's a cultural touchstone filled with ooey, gooey meaning.

We don’t mourn artists because we knew them. We mourn them because they helped us know ourselves.

All that matters is Prince looks very healthy & happy. His change of looks is just the Gemini in him. I C nothing wrong with the way he looks. Andy's Afrocentric ways have rubbed off on him in a gr8 way..

[Edited 4/13/12 12:13pm]

eye will ALWAYS think of prince like a "ACT OF GOD"! N another realm. eye mean of all people who might of been aliens or angels.if found out that prince wasn't of this earth, eye would not have been that surprised. R.I.P. prince

Subjective - some people'll like it, others not. Planet Earth, 20Ten and countless other 'artistic statements' garnered much the same polarity of views - at the this stage I'll just be glad if the music is actually half decent. Hell, if it's a great album what the hell, i'll take any image lol

eye don't understand whenever Prince shows his ethnicity in his looks or music. He gets so hated on here. U know Prince is a black man born of african american heritage..DEAL WITH IT.

KCool...

It's Public Relations Fandom, people will talk about their perspectives, and it really has nothing to do with race,

It's about how the photo comes off. I don't think anyone made this racial. Black decendant people aren't the only ones that can get an afro

Like a lot of people said, the photo looks off, sorta photoshopped, the hair does look like somone cut n pasted

Yeah, I agree, this isn't racial, it has nothing to do with that, it's just that it's BAD. Well, in my opinion smile

I love Prince- this just is not his best look. And it does look all kinds of photoshopped.

Besides his oddly set fro hair, I sort of like the picture!

I think he might be slaying the crocodiles from down under!

Why are people calling him thick? I don't think he looks necessarily thick just more buff than ever in the arms like he can punch you in the head and your skull would brake like an egg lol

I will say the Bruce Lee remarks are hilarious!

I think that's what I mean by thick,he has been working out and probably eating better

I think the sword just looks out of place, maybe if he had that black ax

If I did that photo I would definately put him with the black guitar, he can keep the outfit, but maybe I'd have him in a hood and dark shade or a mask

Yeah I would take the picture more seriously if he had a guitar instead of some random sword. The picture itself doesn't scream Prince but add a guitar and that would change everything.

Prince is just fine. Sure I was like "The hell??'" when I had seen this, but its funny he chose this new look which was VERY unexpected... But anything Prince does, he pulls it off.

Congrats Prince on bringing out the Afro in ya again smile

Yes, at 19, I finally saw the Revolution, a legendary band. And I talked to Wendy!!! biggrin In addition to seeing Prince, I have now lived life. Thank you Purple People!!
