the O(+> ??? Well Im wondering do U think PRINCE would B the "WAY" he is 2day (by WAY i mean in all aspects of the music/industry/Religion) if The  ALBUM was "AS" or More Successful than Diamond and Pearls ... 4 instance if the ALBUM made MONEY do U think he would Have finished his CONTRACT and Tried 2 make MORE MTV hits ... like Pearls ??? I think that album CHANGED HIM 4 ever !! and we would C a very different PRINCE 2 day had it been successful ... what do YALL think ? | |

No. Even if it had been a hit, he still would have had a beef with WB. | |

After the success of PR and being told over and over that he was God's musical gift to the world, there is no way he was ever going to be reasonable to work with again. It fed the worst parts of his personality.

If was more successful than D&P, things would have been different.
I dunno how different, but they would have been different. | |

Agree. I don't listen to it nowadays but I liked the O+> album as much as his 80'ies stuff back in the days. | |

It's great waffling on about Prince with our own theories isn't it 
As for me, I've been told not to trust my mind so I'm not going to think about an answer. | |

It was all getting to his head. D&P was classier than Symbol. Prince spiffed himself up for D&P to regain his superstar status in the industry. Symbol sounds like he had too much money and not enough self control. | |

True. Some great high points, and some equally great low ones - 'Blue Light' - sorry, but Prince & Reggae?  No thanx, u can keep that P.
3 Chains O' Gold - what an awesome opening - then my mouth dropped...WHAT a turd. 
He made a concious effort (as did Warners) 2 really push D&P - and he knew he had the songs, everything was perfect. I STILL believe that He has it in Him 2 regain that kind of exposure and unit-shifting again IF he wanted 2... But of course, He isnt interested in that anymore - and in a way, I really respect Him 4 that - He seems happier with himself, doin what he loves & it's kinda broken down a lot of the barriers that seemed 2 be there between him and his audience. It's so much more intimate now. & I dont know about u guys, but I like it cosy! | |
