Hater!

Actually, the mouth and chin look off somehow. Prince is a sexy man, even if he is aging. We all are aging. I know that he is very protective of his image, but he's good looking and sexy without all the smoothing and photoshopping they do with his pictures. I love seeing pics of Prince that haven't been touched up in someway. He's like a fine wine, gets better with age, and just wish he'd let that natural sexiness shine through more.

Every entertainer makes themselves up b 4 they go out or per4rm or take pictures. Prince isn't any different then them..

you are so funny

Excerpted from article:


Prince says he doesn't understand why people want to cover someone else's songs. In the moment, I don't think to mention the 1996 Emanicpation album features his covers of "Betcha by Golly Wow" and "I Can't Make You Love Me", but I do point out that he sometimes plays covers during his performances.

"I do pay performance royalties on others' songs I perform live, but I'm not recording these songs and putting them up for sale", he says. "Why do we need to hear another cover of a song someone else did? Art is about buidling a new foundation , not just laying something on top of what's already there."

When I bring this discussion around to his being chosen as Billboard's 2013 Icon honoree, attempting to get him to reflect on what's been a remarkable career, he downplays the situation. " I thank Billboard for giving me this honor. It's always nice to be recognized for what we've done here, he says. "But I'm about moving forward".

This is a full-page ad in the new issue of Billboard.

lookin' good

Excerpted from article:

Talks turn to his protege, Andy Allo. "What does it take to get a record played these days?", he asks. He executive-produced Allo's Superconductor, a funk and jazz romp through very Princely territory featuring Trombone Shorty and Maceo Parker released in November. A guitarist/vocalist who joined Prince's NPG band, she recently appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live but so far there's no appreciable radio attention around her project.

His frustration with radio restrictions dovetails into his own music and the role of indie promoters, which can be a costly endeavor. "I'm selling out multiple nights, but how come I can't get music on the radio? You have the indie promoters and you ask, "Who are you and where do you come from? What are your references? And can you guarantee your work (getting airplay) no. But I have to make sure and guarantee mine, right?" - a possible allusion to the no-pay, no-play gambit that most associate with the indie arena.

Excerpted from article:



Prince talks about playing new songs at his upcoming shows and relying less on his previous heavy ratio of hits. He also wants to reopen Paisley Park for concerts, as he done in years past.

He wants fans to get up close and personal, tossing out the idea of inviting two or four partygoers at a time to site onstage with him and his band and feel from the music. "2013 is just about introducing talented, young musicians and doing something different muscially", he says.

He's had these glasses for four months and nobody has figured out who designs them, wow. They are practical for nothing but making Prince looking like his unusual self.

These are probably designed by ic! berlin (by looking at the sides) http://www.ic-berlin.de/

They have a similar version for sale: http://www.ic-berlin.de/e...-tauschung

Prince's version is probably custom made

Where's everyone sense of individuality and style? I for one love new things and am glad that everyone in ths world doesn't look and dress the same. Rock it Prince.

Decent interview in Billboard. Sounds like a like of new music is coming our way. He should know by now what we want and give it to us. Hopefully he's been listening

It's not about him making himself up before going out and/or performing. That is expected of Prince. My only complaint is the photoshopping that is done to Prince's pictures. Look at the Billboard cover. As you are looking at the picture, his chin on the left side (our left, his right) does not look right. It is off-centered, the shadow under his lip extends too far to our left (his right). It just looks off and isn't natural.

I love seeing Prince made up and sexy. I have no complaints about that at all. He's the only man I have ever seen, that I DO like him made up (eyeliner around his eyes), dressed to the 9s. But the photoshopping is terrible!

Yes it is. Just like every other front cover on every other magazine.

Not sure why you're freaking out about this.

Did he really say it is not photoshopped . That's beyond ridiculous .

After somebody pointed it out to me I wonder what happened to his nose, it looks strange and different to before . As if somebody broke it by punching him in the face.

Not hating, just keeping it real. I really like the photos, but we all know they are airbrushed to death. Nothing wrong with that at all. I spend my day retouching photos for a living.
