Like I said before, I've never brought another Prince album since 3121. After hearing the preview of tracks from the Planet Earth album, I knew even then that Prince was musically boring again. Good grief, not even reuniting with Wendy & Lisa was enough to motive him to step his game up.

Thanks to negative feedback from some fans, I'm so happy that I've never wasted my money on Lotusflower & 20TEN.

I'm not sure if I'd go just on what "fans" say about new releases. Both of those releases are worth checking out if only to satisfy your curiosity, assuming you have some. Besides, Target was practically giving away Lotusflower at one point.

My issue with Prince in 2012 has nothing 2 do with with the material.

It is the LACK of material that I'm speaking on.

maybe he's just taking his time putting a great album together which is what he ought to do imo. it's not as if his albums in the last decade were awful but they didn't bring anything new to the table either - mostly prince by numbers though i liked the lotusflower set quite a lot.

I don't believe that Prince is "ova"

He has an odd habit of snatching defeat from the jaws of victory now and then, but the phenomenal talent and singular creativity is still there. I wasn't a big fan of 20ten but I certainly dug Lotusflower and I love the hell outta 3121.

I'm not particularly worried.

Agree with bolded part. As a matter of fact I just played the 3121 cd this weekend and his 'For You' cd. I love the 3121 cd and wished that radio would have played it more often. His guitar playing in 'The Word' is awesome and I enjoy the song 'Love' more than I did when the cd came out. Quite a few songs on the LF3 I enjoyed as well. I appreciate the many, different music styles of Prince. I doubt seriously if it's 'ova'.

He's supposed to be "ova" - he's old. I've come to peace about that.

Barring a shocking turn of events, Prince's last hurrah was likely the Musicology album and tour.

It was stunning to see him on MTV again, and the cover of Rolling Stone. Unfortunately, this "comeback" album was weighed down with some subpar tunes ala Rave, another opportunity blown.

If Prince was ever going to make a go of remastering, this seemed like the time. They could have had a 20 year "Purple Rain" anniversary type deal, put out the Syracuse concert on remastered DVD, maybe the first two or three CDs remastered as double discs along with PR. The fan interest was totally there that spring and summer. But he proved again, as he has so many times, that he just doesn't care.

Which is a shame, because even if he doesn't, many of us do. We'd love to go out and buy the old albums cleaned up and remastered, b-sides and outakes on a second or even third disc. He's aware of all of this.

He just doesn't care. But it's not about being a sellout, or living in the past. It's about his legacy. The early albums are just too damn good to never be remastered, and it's too bad there's no one in his life who can make him see that.

I predicted in another thread that it will happen in 2014 for the 30th anniversary. Circumstances are different this time around. On the one hand, Prince has more leverage in dealing with WMG because of the 35-year reversion under the Copyright Act. On the other hand, everyone involved knows that there is not much time left to make money from reissues under the traditional model. But if Prince wants to keep making money touring as a nostalgia act, he needs to have some new product out there to remind people why they should go see him. We'll see, I guess.

If Prince retired from releasing records/cd............do u think he would say anything or just fade 2 black?

He'd probably just continue recording and playing for himself and his friends at the very least. As long as he is physically and mentally able to function he will make music.

Prince, in you I found a kindred spirit...Rest In Paradise.

You definitely have some valid points Gray, but I can't say that I agree with you that he's "ova". I still believe he has something left to give us. Not sure what that is or when that will happen, but I'm sure we haven't seen the last of his greatness. I can only hope he's gearing up for something great in the next few years. Perhaps, he will remaster his music or make a great concert video/documentary. I don't care about hit songs, but I would love to see him do something with his legacy.



Helping Andy, Bria etc, etc is a waste of time IMO. I will never buy their cd's and they barely have any talent worth paying attention to. I wonder when he will understand this?? I couldn't care less about all his proteges but he acts as though we should and are missing something if we don't. Most of us just want him and his music.



Anyway, by 2 cents. smile




Appolonia and Vanity couldn't sing worth crap but they had songs that were awesome - that's what's missing from all of this. Prince ain't writing and producing the way he used to.

If Prince is OVA then why even bother posting about it? Why still follow what he and his circle do? Why even register his existence in your consciousness? Why? It's cause even if Prince was OVA you'd still keep tabs on him and want to know when new music is coming or if he's going to tour. Prince has a truly weird fanbase. They proclaim him irrelevant, out of touch, vindictive, money hungry and pretty much label him with every negative trait imaginable then thirst for a new CD every 11 month and 29 days! Yeah he's OVA!!! Whateva!

When eye go 2 a Prince concert or related event it's all heart up in the house but when eye log onto this site and the miasma of bitchiness is completely overwhelming!

Well said. I normally don't care for remasters... but you really put things in perspective.

Especially as I imagined a re-release of the Purple Rain CD with B-sides, unreleased gems(Electric Intercourse comes to mind), and/or a third disc of era songs with The Time, Appolonia, Sheila's Glamorous Life, and Dez's Modernaire. There is still some buzz about the 80's but he can't wait forever. The kids who were born in the mid 80's are getting into their late 20's now. Time waits for no one right?

The thing is, I don't care what state he is in as far as his career goes, because he did everything he can do. He already has hits and he's been out for a long motherfucking time, lasted more than an average artist could released a shit load of albums. The music is great to me. That's all that matters. I couldn't give less of a shit how Extraloveable 2011 is doing on the charts because I love that song.

I haven't been a supporter as long as you have but so what? I'm still a supporter. No matter what his religion is, what his political views are, or who he's dating currently. That's HIS business. I love him because he is talented as fuck. Still is, too. I saw him live a year and a half ago for the first time and it blew my fucking mind because I know in my heart he's still got it.

I wouldn't be on this site if I thought Prince was "OVA" because I'd head over to other websites dedicated to artists I think are epic. I think Prince is epic, so I am here. Even though I have to deal with stupid threads like this written by delusional people.

Goodnight, and oh yeah....

Also, I have to add that I can't stand the shortened abbreviations, or computer slang that is being used during this current generation. I mean, by saying that Prince is OVA you're basically saying that Prince is a reproductive cell. Seriously...you couldn't fit in one more letter in there to spell OVER?? Sheesh

Don't bother try to make sense of this situation with neonwhatever his/her name is. Regardless of what Prince releases, it will not be judged on the quality of the art but rather will be held in a positive light because of the devotion to Prince.

But not Prince as an artist but Prince the one man band, the talent, the genius. This fool doesn't care about the music... It's a weird psychological mess as to why people become obsessed with their favorite artists.

Unfortunately for all of us, discussions get sidetracked with groupie love.

Yup... However, there are always a couple of fantastic tunes in every album.

Maybe this time away will allow Prince to re-evaluate his work and put together a strong album. At this point, he's tarnishing a musical legacy that was once so fantastic.

While I disagree with some of his career choices (like the ones you mentioned), I really don't care. I really just want to hear his music. Whether its via Internet, youtube, torrents, or legit CDs/DVDs, I want to hear the songs. There's always a way. Sure, I wish he released more stuff and toured more, but I felt that way back in the day when he was releasing an album a year and touring a lot. So his career can be as lucrative as it was at the height of Purple Rain, or as low as playing state fairs and tiny theaters on a "Back to the 80s" show with Ready For The World and Ray Parker Jr... I don't care, just gimme da funk!

Also, they've been saying his career is over since day one. He always manages what they call a comeback. He seems to have one every few years.

I feel u. It has come 2 point where now, if Prince came 2 my city, I would not go and see him. Not because he has lost it live, (he is better than ever live) I'm just tired of the same "greatest" hits setlist. One of the things I loved about Prince was his tours where he would play a majority of "new" material. Those days seem 2 be gone as well.I've seen Prince live so many times I've lost count, so seeing a greatest hits show in any form just does not work 4 me.

I hear what you're saying and can understand. I'm more on the same page with Chad. I don't really care anymore about his business decisions or how he delivers his music because no matter how he does it, I can always get my hands on it. I just want to hear his music and experience it. As for the greatest hits tours, I still go because I guess I can never get tired of it. Life is short and I rather experience his shows as much as I can until he's no longer with us. I'm riding this train till the very end cool Looking back, its been a great 30 year ride biggrin

It ain't over until Shelby sings. lol

But nah, I think Prince is either really taking a break or is helping other folks (he seems to be focused on Andy's album atm from what I'm reading).

I feel u. It has come 2 point where now, if Prince came 2 my city, I would not go and see him. Not because he has lost it live, (he is better than ever live) I'm just tired of the same "greatest" hits setlist. One of the things I loved about Prince was his tours where he would play a majority of "new" material. Those days seem 2 be gone as well.I've seen Prince live so many times I've lost count, so seeing a greatest hits show in any form just does not work 4 me.

I hear what you're saying and can understand. I'm more on the same page with Chad. I don't really care anymore about his business decisions or how he delivers his music because no matter how he does it, I can always get my hands on it. I just want to hear his music and experience it. As for the greatest hits tours, I still go because I guess I can never get tired of it. Life is short and I rather experience his shows as much as I can until he's no longer with us. I'm riding this train till the very end cool Looking back, its been a great 30 year ride biggrin

No doubt about that.

I guess I'm sad 2 see the train pulling into the station.
