The circumstances of Prince's passing gutted all of us, to the point that many of us are still in profound pain--over seven months later. I'm sorry you don't approve of the topics covered in this thread about Prince and Andy. In this situation, if Andy had been with P when he passed, she would probably be blamed. People like you would be all. over the Org and social media excoriating her and calling for her prosecution. And you know I ain't lying or exaggerating. So, really, she is damned, either way. Why can't people just be happy that he had love in his final years and he gave us some of his best music in many years? Few would deny that his ballads with and about Andy rank up there with some of his best ever. That's why we're celebrating their collaboration, musical and otherwise, despite what P called "an army of haters."

I am not the person calling anyone out to be prosecuted for Prince dying. You do not know me so yeah, you just lied. I do not do that- blame someone else for another's action. Please do not assume things about me. I am not that person all over social media talking trash about anyone. I don't do that and find it rude that you took such a liberty to misrepresent me in that way.

I was saying that if she was so tight with the man why was she not there for him. He lost friends he loved and had in his life for decades. He was a human being not just a pretty man who could sing and dance.

I am not buying him in a relationship with a chick young enough to be his kid. I do not see him that way.

He said over and over he was celibate and he must have worked hard to change and I do not think he was lying. I admire the man for who he became and I do not think he was sexing Andy or Damaris or the others. I think he truly grew into a different person.

Prince was a talented multifaceted person - he was not one dimensional and we all saw him evolve over the years. I admire him so much for being man enough to publicly change and see the world different. No way in my mind would he be sexing up these women not even Andy. Just my opinion.

I don't think Prince was "sexing up" a lot of women, either. On that, we can agree. And, that seems a perfect ending for this exchange.

You misrepresented and lied about me; I never assume anything about anyone and would never talk trash about anyone with Prince - I don't know the man it is not my place. You lied about me to me and did not acknowledge it. That is so not cool.

Okay, I stand corrected. But, whether you will admit it or not, you know that what I said, minus including you in the bunch, is absolutely true: there would be a LOT of people calling for Andy's head if she had been with P when he transitioned. Also, the post you were responding to was disparaging, so please forgive me if I mistook you for a hater.

It is completely possible that Prince and Andy just sat around playing their guitars and playing ping pong together.It was pretty obvious Prince was attracted to her though-even announcing at her Superconductor listening party reportedly he had a "crush on that girl"! So he obviously wasn't shy about his attraction to her and wanted people to talk.The lyrics that he wrote for the song "Suprconductor"is quite telling of their relationship and that he was aware of what the fans were saying about their relationship and he didn't care. The lyrics in Superconductor are pretty racy too so he at least wanted us to think something was going on whether it was or not.Also The Story Of You And I that she said they wrote together was pretty graphic sexually.Prince presented those songs knowing that people would connect them with their relationship.I got the feeling back then Prince was making a spectacle of the relationship-from the sharpie hearts to her being seen wearing his diamond ring and him coming out in Montréal 2011 wearing a custom made shirt with a huge image of Andy's face.For some reason,he wanted people to talk.

It's cool . I would never assume anything about how people would react to any person found to be with Prince time he died. It is such a tragic situation and how can you add on more negativity and hate to something so gut wrenching, and painful, It is just wrong. We all need to breathe, and have love for one another, even on a message board ; being hateful and accusatory won't bring him back.

And some of his Jehovah's Witness fams were certainly alarmed. They were blowing up his social media with scriptures with dire warnings. Maybe that's why Prince said at the end of "Breakfast Can Wait," yet another sexually suggestive song on AOA, "You might need to pray for me." P was all in. But, it was much more than just "sexing" with Andy.

Has this lovely Andy Allo performance of "One Step Closer" been posted on this thread already? There are so many great videos on this thread that I have lost track. Here it is: https://vimeo.com/62902415

I can't recall, but if it has it is certainly worth another look. She sang this at Music Monday last week. It is a beautiful, haunting tune.

Thank you for posting Latin! Beautiful song of hers.

The performance of One Step Closer is from her Billboard Music Spotlight Session in 2013.She said Monday the song will probably be on her new album but she will most likely change the title of the song.

Yes, those Billboard Magazine performance videos are awesome. It's great to hear that she plans on including that in her next album. It would have been perfect on Superconductor. [Edited 11/27/16 18:19pm]

Yes,I agree.I think she may have written the song after the Superconductor sessions.She had a few nice demos in 2013 I'd like to see her record too. There was a nice one she sang in Spanish called Pharoah and another she wrote for her little nephew named Sudama. I'd like to hear both of those as well.

Fly...thanks for taking the high road here. I dont think he was sleeping around either. I do think he enjoyed being around Andy and making music and vice versa. P loved many women during his short life as was his right and heart to do so...not just Denise as some may think. Think P was grown up and adult enough that if he wanted someone to console him during his losses, he would have sought it out or asked for it. For all we know, AA did reach out to him during this time. Perhaps the talk was to generate publicity buzz for her/their music. Am of the belief that when our time comes, that God sends someone to go with us on that journey so we aren't alone. (Story for another time)

Wow. Do you know whether she speaks Spanish?

I don't think she is fluent but I know she speaks a bit.She also speaks French as well.

Cool. Imagine Prince serenading Andy with "Te Amo Corazon". Just imagine because one never knows...

That's a nice thought Latin. Maybe Prince encouraged her to write a song in Spanish.She asked her fans if her pronunciation was correct and they told her she did very well.

Thanks, joy. We think alike. So many fams want to keep Prince frozen in the 80's, but he was so much more. P was a very complex, brilliant man, who loved and treasured beautiful women. No shame in that. It seems that he had a way of making them all feel special, which says a lot about him. Still, there were varying degrees of specialness (if that's a word) among the women of his life. And, in his final years, I would be shocked if there was any woman more important than Andy to Prince.

A little birdie directed me to this jewel. Many Thanks!!

Aww that's a nice candid shot of Prince carrying Andy's coat. Very sweet of him and he looks very 'normal' there too.

A VERY "normal" gentleman. I've noticed that he wore very little make-up around Andy. Interesting.

I know! I noticed that too. He seemed to feel very relaxed around her and like he could be himself-she indicated recently she felt the same.Thanks for posting btw!
