PennyPurple said: How? No new music or video to buy (maybe something in September) but hardcore fans are dissatisfied with what has come out so far. And you have said you won’t support any associates so how is his legacy going to be kept alive? Just curious.

Let's be clear. Hardcore fans are ok with whats been coming out. Prince-orgers are dissatisfied. But you know how orgers are.

Last night was a disgrace to hardcore fans or (should be to) any Prince fan as far as that goes. Prince fans on Idol's page told them so, also.

And purplemist7777, I will NOT support any of the associates. We (the fans) will keep his legacy alive by passing it down to our children and grandchildren, and families. What do you think our parents did with us, with the groups they listened too.

New stuff will be coming out of Prince's it just will take patience.

I didnt see it and dont care to. That said, I dont give one entire sh!t if they all sounded terrible. There is absolutely no negative that comes from an Idol Prince episode. None, Zero, Nada

So much dumb in one thread. As far as waiting on new stuff to spark some kind of Prince music revolution amongst the masses? Thats just absurd. He passed away and it was just about the hits and Purple Rain. Even if some amazing new single were to come out and top the charts, it would be short lived.

Agreed, and that is coming from someone who doesn't like these types of shows at all. And I also think you are right about the rest of it too. We really do need to support the legacy by encouraging the estate to come up with new ventures to present to younger generations. They aren't going to just go out there and purchase music by an older artist who is unknown to them, just not gonna happen. This has to be done if there's to BE a legacy to support. New fans must be drawn in, no matter how much us current fans dislike the methods used. And people who come with the "well Prince wouldn't have liked this, etc...?" I'm gonna call bullshit on that way of thinking too. People seem to forget that Prince WANTED his legacy to go on, wanted PP to run as a museum. To even think he didn't realize that things were going to be different from what he may have done is just ridiculous, the man was never ever stupid. I still think he took care of what he wanted done a certain way and left the rest to be looked after by the estate and his heirs. We have to help as best we can and being supportive of efforts made is a very easy way to do it.

After last night's show, I don't think many younger ones will be interested in Prince, the way these songs sounded.

Well, no one will know until they try it. And they really need to move forward with this. If younger people don't know P's music, they may also not know what his version sounds like, so they may have liked what they heard. And I have to say that there's been positive stuff said out there, by fans too

I'm sure that the estate would love to hear people's ideas on how to come up with money to keep things going. If you have any, consider letting them know

I didn't even bother watching that shit show. Is this what's going to happen with Prince's music? What a joke!!

Educating folks about his catalogue beyond Purple Rain and SOTT would be ideal.

You don't need to watch stupid American Idol to know about Prince's music. The music should be passed down from the parents to the younger generation; that's how you learn about good music.

Good, maybe they will pursue something you've proposed. Since you've already gone ahead and sent things to them, would you care to share the email address here that you sent suggestions to? Might be helpful to others thinking of doing the same

I sent them to a member of the family who is on this very forum, don't ask me who it is, because my lips are zipped.

That is why who ever told them to sing a Prince song is to blame!

I saw the Amsrican Idol last night. Each ciontestant that choose to sing a Prince song. Something that is related to Prince in nature. They all did a good job. It is hard to live up to that expectation of trying to sing like Prince.

Clover, cut the shit. If you really care about Prince's legacy you would be supportive of efforts made to promote it. Passing it down to our kids and grandkids isn't going to be enough. I am really surprised to hear that you think that is all it will take.

Hahahahahahahahaha! Okay then. If it's not a direct heir it doesn't matter. But of course, you know that right?

Mumio said:

YES, you are so right luv. But first we have to see if people can even respond to the well-known stuff first. If things not in the main stream are pushed out there, it could be disastrous. Or not

WHAT?????? If you didn't even listen/watch, then your opinion on this is completely invalid. Just stop clover. I am really surprised at you.

I think it's a stupid show. You don't have to agree. Just because I don't like AI doesn't mean I don't care about Prince's legacy -- that's silly!!

There are plenty of other ways to promote Prince's music.
