Social media show who loves and supports whom.

Yep. I noticed Cassandra O'Neal,Shelby J,Sheila E,Ida Nielsen and Hannah Welton follow Andy on Twitter.I was surprised that Sheila did. Adrian Crutchfield is always posting on her Facebook-I think they might make a cute couple actually but Andy might think of him more like a brother,I saw on Andy's birthday he posted that he loved her...thought that was sweet.

Andy seems easy to love, but something tells me that it might be awhile before she can truly move on. Then again, you just never know. Adrian seems like a real sweetheart, too. I've also seen him on Andy's Facebook and Instagram. I think he has a young son. One thing's for sure: they both really loved Prince.

That was not the question, the question was I wonder what they thought, I am sure fly you will tell us what they were thinking. Not about Andy as a person, or a solo artist, but about young women coming on stage with them at princes desire, and how they fit in musically, and in this case specifically Andy.

I think it made P happy to have a lover-muse/protege supporting him.

A happy boss is a good thing.

.

I agree.

I think he always got "crushes". And below is an example from sharpieheartz.

Was P "in love" with AA? I have no idea, but he was smiling that half embarrassed smile so I'm gonna guess he was at least crushing and if P was happy then I'm happy he was happy.

I wish the other Prince/Andy threads weren't down otherwise I'd post this on one of those but here goes-- I was watching footage from a Welcome 2 Canada show at the Air Centre, and while Shelby, Liv, and Elisa were singing, Prince pulled Andy into his side and they began to sway from side to side before praise dancing. It was silly!

That's why I suggested a permanent thread in the associate artiste forum. This forum should be about Prince, no?

I suggest you do a search of "Prince relationships" or "Prince collaborations." You will find pages and pages of threads, the vast majority of which are in the Prince: Music and More forum. This thread is about Prince and Andy Allo. So, please, give it a rest trying to suggest that this Prince discussion doesn't belong in the Prince forum. Why can't you just leave us to enjoy this discussion in peace?

LOVESYMBOLNUMBER2 said:

i often wonder what the rest of the band thought when prince would bring his "protégés" on stage that did seem somewhat out of place musically, and clearly not on the same talent level musically as everyone else?

FlyOnTheWall said:

Good question. If I had to guess, I'd say that they were probably thinking that they were onstage with the great Prince Rogers Nelson, at whose pleasure (and whims) they served. And they just went with the flow.

Yes, it is a well know fact, if you worked for prince in any capacity, you were going to go with his flow 100% of the time, or you were going to be gone.

Hello dear FOTW. Not in all cases. 140 characters say more than 1000 words in the year 2017. Salaam.

Greetings, amimissinsumthin. Thanks for your amazingly swift response. I think you know that this photo is not about character and/or word counts. In this case, I'd say that this indisputable image of Prince, Ida, Liv, and Andy speaks volumes. Shelby's face is hidden, but you can see her hand embracing Andy's arm. Indeed, they all seem to be embracing Miss Andy. Wa-Alaikum-Salaam.

I think Ida and Andy are friends.She attended Andy's show in Denmark in 2013 and Andy wrote in her blog about it.She said the hardest thing about leaving the NPG was having to leave the people who had become like family members to her.Ida also often responds to Andy's posts on Twitter,she recently "liked" Andy's performance on Facebook live. Everyone should check out her performance of Little Big Town's Better Man from Mondays Facebook Live.It was so good! So heartfelt.

Thank you for that, pink!! Yes, Andy's rendition of "Better Man" was profound. I didn't expect that. Whew. Something tells me that she didn't choose that song randomly. Perhaps, I'll post that Music Monday clip later. I was speechless. All I could say was this: WOOOOOWWWWW.

On second thought, I'll post the "Better Man" clip now while I have the time. She starts the tune at about the 9:53 mark. She only sang a portion, skipping the last 2-3 verses. BTW: Miss Andy is rocking the Frohawk!!!

You're welcome! Yes,Andy was really feeling it.I just read in the comments on her clip of the performance on her Instagram that Taylor Swift liked it.Looks like Andy's finally getting some well earned recognition.

Why are you posting this on a thread that is about ONE specific P and AA performance? You're once again turning this into an P and AA love affair thread and you wonder why the other AA threads are gone? No one is being mean or jealous of Andy, we are just suggesting that you start an AA thread in the Associated Artists forum because that is what she is. Please stick to the topic of your thread and maybe the threads will remain. If and when you start a new thread in the Associated Artist forum, maybe you can talk about ALL of AA's work not just the ones that feed into your fantasy because she is truly talented.

Then I wonder why she chose to sing her new song 10,000 days? Because as much as you TRY...that song is in no way about P. Someone even posted a comment about who she met on that retreat last month. Did that make you say "WOOOOWWWWW"?

I posted this clip in response to a comment on this thread.

I never said that the song was about P, although some commenters seemed to come away with that impression. Also, I didn't see the comment about her meeting someone at the retreat, as I only briefly skimmed them. If she did meet someone, I hope it means that happier days are ahead for Miss Andy. But, that would in no way change the historic nature of her collaboration with Dr. Prince Rogers Nelson in his final years. That is etched in stone.

Prince performed Girl during the Piano Mic shows.The clip is still up on his Instagram.

I made that comment, hehe. I asked everyone if I was the only one still wondering who she met on that retreat last month. She replied and said I was hilarious and she met no one. 😂

Ohhh lol. She does seem very giddy lately but that's probably a combination of the new album and PP3. Things seemed to be working out for her which is awesome and I know P would be proud.

I think Prince would be proud, too. I also think that Andy would trade it all for having P back among us. Speaking of her "giddiness," though, that was going on even before her retreat. I first noticed it during her Music Monday when she debuted the new song that came to her while she was washing dishes and, later, sleeping. It's good seeing her eyes smile. For awhile, I was really worried about her. I don't think she's out of the woods yet, but she seems to be making a lot of progress.

Found it!! Prince posted this achingly beautiful snippet of "Girl" on March 30, 2016. I know y'all expect me to speculate about who might have been on his mind, but I'm not gon' do it. Thanks for the heads-up, pinkcashmere23!!
