I wonder if Prince would come up with a new alter-ego [ala Camille, Jamie Starr, etc.], but only unbeknownst to us right off the back [Maybe he already has one]. I think it would be pretty cool. Hopefully, some cool quirky music could from it [highly doubt it though ].

Any ideas or suggestions?????

For about the last 15 years I'd say.

no, Prince needs to just Alter his ego!

It was already quite difficult 4 him to remain hidden behind fake names back in the 80's, in the world of internet communications I believe it'd be quite impossible.

An album by the mysterious new artist 'Barbara'. 'So Barbara found a new colour - the colour beige'.

Actually Barbara was one of the most famous French singers in the 50's and 60's so the name ain't available.

lock the thread afta this post...

That would be awesome! Just start all over as an unknown artist, producing kickass adventurous music.

I think Prince is all growed up now

Sure, but it wasn't just a way to hide, was it? It seems like he was taking on a creative persona as well. At least the Camille tracks have a certain vibe.

You win!

Wasn't it discovered that he copywrited the name Androginyne (or something like that) about 2-3 years ago? I think he may have something in the vault already for a new gender-bending alter-ego.

IKR? That's the whole freaking conundrum right there, in a nutshell!

Yeah, I agree. I think it would be pretty dope to see what he could come up with under a alias we won't initially pick up on.....

He should join an all-chick group with 3 marginally talented unknowns. Call it 4NonSellers.

I think 3rd Eye is his newest alter ego.

Maybe he could come up with an alter ego that only sings full length original Prince songs that have similar arrangements to the original versions that Prince fans love...which means no watered down arrangements where you can sing multiple different ballads to the same music (Beautiful Ones, Future Soul Song, Scandalous, Insatialbe...etc)...(This alter ego would sing those four songs with their original different music.)

This mysterious live performer would also never play cover songs, and would have a strong dislike for "Play That Funky Music." This strange guy would also not like to sing the name of the city or state each concert is in (Singing "Funky Colorado" at least 40 times at an otherwise awesome Denver 3rd Eye Girl show)

I would really be impressed with this alter ego...especially if he could somehow sing 20-25 full length songs in 2 and a half hours....kind of like the Musicology tour, except that Let's Go Crazy would not have mulitple saxophone parts, and would not edit the lyrics, and would chant "Go Go Go" instead of freaking singing the song....

(In Prince's defense, other than a few bad moments, the Musicology tour was spot on for 80% of the show.)

Totally loved your frame of thought based purely on it's own merit but I have to say that your name being "StillWaiting" makes the satisfaction of it, ever so much more fulfilling, at least for me, anyway!
