Lets talk commercial releases, lets leave the whole npgmc concept out of this.. NPG Music Club is a whole other topic.

What do you expect from him next? He released Rainbow Children, and a Live boxset... which were good efforts. but where does it go from here? It doesnt have to be anytime soon, but I wouldnt mind him getting a little wild on the next album (studio). I mean 'wild' like his early efforts.. but I dont want to compare it to anything, I want it to be inventive..

what do u expect? something, nothing, anything?

nothing.

Hey!.. Well I dont "expect" anything from Prince!! I just want him to release an album with somethin new like he always does.. something great.. which he always does!! Though I do agree with you, I hope his next album will be "wild"..

ditto. i just wait 4 the next episode.

I have been suffering from 2 high expectations before regarding what Prince has 2 offer...not doing that again. It takes 2 much of my time, I expect absolutely nothing from him anymore...

Every new album,tour,era has usually always made me happy in one way or another...I find myself telling myself ...P has done it again...i can't say he doesn't surprise me anymore cuz he really always does and I, nor anybody else never knows what to expect...That's probably what made me dig his style,music and fashion over all the years...

yeah, that way you don't get too dissapointed

I might wish for certain things, but I "expect" nothing.

I just go with the flow..

Xpectation---NONE

If he delivers something, I'll take it and be quite happy.

I don´t Xpect anything...

but I gotz 2 have DA DIRRRTY FONK!
just like:
- Posessed;
- Data Bank;
- Chocolate.

But any FoNK will do just fine

I don't really expect a new album this year... Considering we've already heard "Xpectation" and "CNote" this year I don't have a problem with that...

A cup of tea & slice of cake. Tanks

Not a damn thing!!! How can you expect greatness???

he becomes and ordained minister of the funk, and lets it all loose

under the cherry moon II

an album with the wildest electric guitar ever released on compact disc

If he did an album of covers ala Joni's "Both Sides Now" or George Micheals "Songs of the Last Century" only instead be guitar heavy, I'd be in heaven.

Prince tore it up on Whole Lotta Love, and thats a side of him that the general public is entirely unaware of.

Not only would it be commercially viable, but i think something like this would reaffirm where Prince stands in the context of all these other great musicians.

I don't think any of his last several albums (albiet instrumentally TRC and ONA Live) really demonstrate the scope of his abilities.

I expect/want something with a love ballad that will get me and every other woman in America hot.

enjoyniki said:

didn't he already do that?

Each album needs to have one. Scandalous, Insatiable, Adore, The one,etc. Hey LoveBizarre, I can't get enough of his ballads.

oh

lovebizzare said:

several times.

anyhoo, the whole "expectation" thing--reminds me of a little rule in my book of prince geekdom:

expect nothing. cuz like the brotha once said, "you wait for me to give the people what they like...you might be pissed!"




one thing's 4 certain, u can expect the damn edit
