In terms of the "general public" Prince has lost it.

As good "technically" as NEWS maybe, it aint going to get him an audience. It's dull. Period.

Sorry to tell you all. shrug


Prince and ,most of his fans stopped caring about what the 'general public' thinks years ago.

Musically NEWS is brilliant, period. Is it uppitty 'Pop'? No, and I'm glad. Is it a beautiful mixture of Jazz, Funk, and R&B (like a lot of Prince's work) YES...

If NEWS is so dull, snoozing, boring, and blah. Lets see any of you write something better...

yeah that's what I thought...

pooptoast The next time you criticize a movie, perhaps you'd better get off your ass and make a better one, right? I don't want to see bkw make a "better" album; I want to see PRINCE do so! NEWS is shit.

How could you...? How could you, put anything Prince writes, in the same category with Macho Man Randy Savages, poor attempt at a music career?

NEWS rubbish??? confuse Listening to the album, I can't understand how anyone would think that. Even non-Prince fans I know, are diggin' the album very much so.

Well...What does the funky-onion have to say about the Grammy nomination. In yo face!

Blue peace

And, I must admit, this post is dead on.

I understand if many of you heartily dislike NEWS, but is it LESS ESSENTIAL than this?

I don't want to hear about why it is bad, I want to hear about why it is LESS ESSENTIAL than an album by Randy Savage?

NEWS is a great CD. I love how the direction of the music twists & turns throughout each song. It's been a real treat for me and it leaves me wanting more. headbang

Ha! Go back and look at the majority of your responses to Prince and his music that past few years.

Now that's some pretty nasty kool-aid. Atleast I know how to make mine.
