That's some cold shit... Maybe Mani stacked chairs or something when nobody was looking but if they wanna thank her for whatever her contribution was (even if it was zero) she should get at LEAST a smattering of applause. Hell, we don't know the Paisley janitors but if they wanted to give it up for them, shouldn't we clap? Or, to be more obscure, if Darrin got on the mic & said, "I wanna thank So&So for all he does!" Should So&So hear crickets just b/c we don't know him? It's a courtesy thing, a simple gesture that takes hardly any effort but could make someone else feel appreciated - it's worth it, IMO...

Clearly some of the female fans are incredibly jealous of Mani & very bitter about their marriage, which is a bit loony & totally uncalled for... But who knows, maybe Mani felt the same way about Mayte & karma (like a fat bitch @ Krispy Kreme) is kickin' in... [/quote]


shake - shake...damn karma is beast these days..

but seriously for those that attended was there any reason for not applauding her?

Ok, NOT to be a bitch, but things like this please do not orgnote me, bring it to the forum, I don't mind responding openly to something, we all have our opinions on things, mine on Mani happen to be very positive.

come on now!
WE ALL WANT 2 GET A PIECE OF DAT ASS!

Ok,first of all,who in the heck is Darren?
Second,just because someone doesn't feel like going on and on about how pretty she is,doesn't mean they're jealous.
I haven't seen her in person,so I can only go by the basketball game photos,and from what I can tell,some of his other women seem a little more interesting to look at...Jill Jones,Appolonia,Carole Davis,Anna Fantastic,Susannah,Vanity.

Just my opinion,don't shoot me.

I am only really concerned with the music but for a lot of fans Prince is there life, they are so caught up in the Purple Haze that everything else is a mystery too them. They want him for themselves so when someone comes along who takes his attention away from entertaining them, they get miffed. I for one am happy for him if it puts a smile on his face.

If they aren't ripping on Mani, then it's Larry Graham or Kirky J. It doesn't matter who it is some people just want to demonise someone.

I'm an armchair psychologist.

I think you mean Damon and it's funny how some people recall things differently than others. I was there, I clapped and so did those around me...You make it sound like you coulda heard a pin drop...bit of an exaggeration I think but..hey..that's just me.

It's obnoxious. It's probably partly true that people are making an association between her and his recent religious fanaticism, but I think it has more to do with plain old jealousy. He married a fan, and it isn't them, and they are pissed.

jealousy

forget mani! who cares?


MrBliss! WHAT happened to your duckie???!!!

LOL!!!
This is funny, but probably true!

I wonder how much of a fan she was before everything between them started. That's kinds weird!

I think most of us couldn't care any less, honestly.

For those that it bothers, I suspect, it's because they see her as "The fan who got through. Mani is the Transcendent Fan, who was able to go from the faceless ranks of milions to the one prince wed.

I imagine it's like watching Next-door Neighbor B win the gazillion-dollar lottery on a fluke -- the same lottery Neighbor A has been playing religiously, futilely for decades.

I'm going to add some more armchair psychology. Look around at the next Prince show. Look at the chicks doing the most pushing to get close to the stage. You see chicks in the same age range as Prince, you see sloppy drunks and fat chicks. You see old girls in homemade purple sequin outfits who still have Prince scrapbooks.

When Prince has a young, cute chick with him, it kills these old girls' fantasies that Prince is going to be their boyfriend if only they could meet him. Deep down inside they know that Prince would never look at them, but they fantasize that he will. Seeing their fantasy lover with a beautiful young wife kills their fantasy.

That's my
