Stunned and sad

As much as I believe that Prince loved and honored his music above the commercialism of the music industry, I was pretty sad to hear a television commercial for capital one credit and they were using “Let’s Go Crazy” as a back drop


Not an instrumental... They used his voice... his recording.




As much as that man did not want his videos to even be played on MTV...

I didn’t know.

I guess Prince Spaghetti can finally make that commercial.

Nah Prince spaghetti would still have to try to yeet past the lawyers and all that ;-;

Apparently Prince never saw it before it was pulled, so he never really had much of a decision in that bit, it was the law people that pulled it

~everything is a prince reference~

I agree,it’s disappointing to see Prince’s music being used this way but let’s be honest....the estate needs to keep money coming in.

Capitol 1 is also using MJ's and Whitney's music.

By the way, y'all gotta stop using catastrophic language. You're not stunned. Stunned is when you're hit by a car and your mom, who is your passenger, dies suddenly. Stunned is when you realize your daughter was raped by your brother for the first six years of her life. Not when Capital One uses "Let's Go Crazy" in an ad. Where were y'all when MJ must started showing up in ads? Or Whitney? Jackson 5, with the lyrics changed for a medication?

Just balance, ya know? Just sayin'.

Right, I was going to point out they Capital One use Michael Jacksons and Whitneys music too.

Personally I have no problem with their music being used. But that doesn't mean I care for the commercials. Some commercials get it right some dont

Yep, that's the one I was referencing earlier. There's another by some early 80s new wave group I think where the lyrics were also changed to fit the product. That is 100% worse than just using a 30-second piece of a song in a credit card ad.

Sorry, it's the Hodgkin's talking.
