Let’s Go Crazy is used for sporting events so is it a big deal? Capital One is my bank. I think there are worse companies that could get his music.

You mean you aren't gonna cut your credit card into tiny plastic shreds like some others are doing?

Capital One cancelled my account a couple months ago because I had no balance and hadn't used it in 15-20 years. (They kept sending me replacement cards every couple years and I never activated them.) Problem solved.

I do not like it but I am not going to cut up my cards. As long as push it up is not used for Tampons I am okay.

Good Lord it is not selling out. It is staying relevant for many decades to come. Bills/taxes have to be paid and plus this is a way to reach the younger audience who the estate hope can also persuade to buy his music and maybe continue to support his other work as Prince's core fans are aging and dying off. It is important now more than ever to keep P's legacy alive. I remembered a few weeks ago I was riding with an 11-year-old boy in a medical transportation vehicle and Michael Jackson song came on the radio. He knew the song and even told the driver to turn it up because he loved MJ. I said I was a Prince fan than an MJ fan and he didn't know who Prince was. This boy was like 3 years old when MJ passed and it so amazing how he idolized him a person who was more prominent before he was born.

My point is Michael estate isn't perfect but they are doing their job to keep his legacy alive that even babies who were born after MJ's death know his music.

SINCE PRINCE OK'D THIS WHILST STILL ALIVE...Why did it take for him to die for kiss and then this to happen?

Gross, doesn’t fit the content at all. They’re using MJ too... DISLIKE

This is OK,I guess....but I will be pissed if I ever hear a deep,personal song like "When Doves Cry" in a commercial

Better prepare yourself for it, my friend. It will happen eventually as it's one of his more popular songs.

I just saw one with Whitney Houston's I Wanna Dance with Somebody. It's definitely a theme here.

The way it was edited is a bit strange:
"You see I called my old lady
for a friendly word, she just...
... look for the purple banana
'til they put us in the truck."

Just saw it on TV, for the second time. I love it! It's great exposure for his music!

I noticed that they're using three deceased artists' music for these commercials.....

I haven’t seen Whitney’s, I suppose they’ll try to snag Aretha next

I have absolutely no issue with Prince music being used in commercials or in any other mechanicals, but it has to work!

I expected this commercial to be interesting but it wasn't. The use of Let's Go Crazy didn't work. It didn't seem appropriate.

I wish posthumous uses of Prince's image and music was done in interesting and creative ways but it just isn't.

Dear Estate,

Please use Satisfied for a Doritos commercial.

Thanks,

Long time listener
