I wonder if the $$$'s he gave made up for the $$$'s lost on 4,000 empty seats that could have been filled easily had he been there.

That's not Prince's problem...no one guaranteed he'd show up, and if Prince's appearance was a sticking point for Sheila, she and Lyn should've cancelled it when he didn't confirm he definitely would attend... -SWANG'sjustamessenger | |

Look at it this way: As incredible as I'm sure the concert was, and as good an idea as this 'Family Reunion' (of sorts) was, it was an event that was predominantly about drawing attention to (and providing funds for) programs benefiting abused children. The moment Prince walks out on that stage the event becomes about him and not about child abuse. Perhaps that's why he chose to donate funds to Sheila's charity rather than perform. Prince is probably the only millionaire among those who were invited to participate in the Family Jamm event.

But she DID invite him, and he did not show ALTHOUGH HE WAS IN THE VICINITY!!! Think about it. Prince was wrong. I am convinced Beyonce's career would not be where it is, if she had dark skin. | |

Hi Supey.
Let's not 4get y'all that this was about abused kids tho - Prince or no Prince, that wont change the reality of the situation that is under all our noses everyday. Sheila and all who pulled 2gether 2 make it happen should feel justifiably proud 4 makin it happen. Kudos 2 them. However, now I know Prince WAS in L.A...YES, he SHOULD be ashamed of not participating in that respect. | |

-SWANGdigsyouVelvet [This message was edited Tue Dec 16 14:30:40 PST 2003 by SWANG] I understand what you are saying but with all due respect, we will just have to disagree. If Prince would have made an appearance, I don't believe the message would have been lost. Prince would have added another element to it all, of course because beyond the charity, when you break it all down, those people would not have gotten together if if weren't for him. Of course he would have gotten attention. But I just don't believe his presence would have been focused on so much to the point of where it would have "hurt" anything. Prince could have sat his booty in a seat, enjoyed the show and came out on the last song, and stand on stage with everyone and not said a word. Because it would have been the "right" thing to do. Whether the show was a success or not is not the issue at all to me. I never questioned that. Her charity has more money now than it did before that concert, so it was a success in my eyes. My intent was not to allude to the event not being a success because Prince didn't show up.I say it was indeed a success. Also, we all know it was his choice. He is a grown man in a Free country and he obviously can do what he wants with his time and money. That's in Stone and not even a question. He made his choice, and I just find it to be a shameful one. For me, I suppose I see it as a decency issue more than anything, because HE WAS IN THE VICINITY. If he was on tour in Japan or something like that, I think I would be willing to accept it (although for this special occasion I still think he should have flown in). But to know he was right there and didn't come, is a shame. Not that the whole event was based upon his apprearance, because it wasn't (and we can tell that's true by the overwhelmingly great reviews that have been posted so far). But because of the Foundation, because of Sheila, because of the people on that stage with whom he shared such an important part of his life with, because of his fans, because HE WAS CLOSE BY!!!, because it would have been decent, is why he should have made an appearance. I stand by what I said, SHAME SHAME SHAME ON PRINCE FOR THIS! I am convinced Beyonce's career would not be where it is, if she had dark skin. | |

I stand by what I said, SHAME SHAME SHAME ON PRINCE FOR THIS! CO-SIGN 1000% agian on everything you said. My stance has nothing to do with whether or not Prince's appearance would have made for a better concert, better turn out, or higher contributions. The concert without Prince's appearance stands on it's own merit. The issue I'm bringing up is very much along the lines of what Velvet stated above. Sheila went to great lengths to bring people together for this event. Out of all the artists who attended, we can guess which ones Prince has had a falling out with. Leave the charity aspect aside. Prince talks about unity and love and claims to be a follower of God. Ever heard of walking the talk? That's the problem I have with his absence. He could have taken this opportunity to put to rest any and all past grievances with former associates. It doesn't affect my personal life one ounce that Prince didn't take this opportunity at reconciliation. I am making the point for the former associates and for Prince himself. Both sides could have benefitted on a personal level, both sides could have had fun, both sides could have come together to make the event as a fundraiser a bigger success to help the children. Instead, one side reached out, while the other ignored them. That is what sucks. 2010: Healing the Wounds of the Past.... http://prince.org/msg/8/325740 | |

I really don't blame him for not showing, I mean would you want to be on a stage with Jill, whose part you cut dramaticly in favor of ingrid and kept to the side for about 9 years, or Susannah, who you told you loved; proposed to; then cheated on; or Carmen, who you cheated on with Mayte, or Paul; who you called a punk, or Apollonia; who you basicly told off when she wanted to leave your camp, or...well you get the picture.
I told this to Wendy, and she nodded her head while laughing, I'm not sure if she was seriously agreeing or not, but it IS something to think about... 
Seriously though, the man did contribute financially to this event. Besides, by doing this he's probably lost some respect from some fans and has proven that the Revolution can hold their own without him, it all goes back to him, let the chips fall where they may. Let him do what he wants, every negative, not-so-great, and disapointing thing he does ultimately goes back to him, y'all should know that by now. And supa,  ~KiKi | |

Let's face it,guys...Prince is the ultimate control freak (he said so himself).He doesn't really participate in things that he can't control.This show was Sheila's big project,and I don't think Prince would have felt comfortable being a part of it.
I'm disappointed but not surprised that he didn't show up. | |

I told this to Wendy, and she nodded her head while laughing, I'm not sure if she was seriously agreeing or not, but it IS something to think about...
Seriously though, the man did contribute financially to this event. Besides, by doing this he's probably lost some respect from some fans and has proven that the Revolution can hold their own without him, it all goes back to him, let the chips fall where they may. Let him do what he wants, every negative, not-so-great, and disapointing thing he does ultimately goes back to him, y'all should know that by now. And supa, OK...when you put it that way.  2010: Healing the Wounds of the Past.... http://prince.org/msg/8/325740 | |

SupaFunkyOrgangrinderSexy said: All this religious mumbo jumbo about unity and love and yet he won't seize the opportunity to unite with the people that helped make his life what it was. 1.Prince is a hypocrite at times,thats not news to anyone surely 2.Prince has deep pockets for worthy causes , thats what I'll remember from this whole affair,regardless of the many character defects he has,he stuck his hands in his pockets and gave the most important thing for Sheila's cause,a big heap of money. I doubt if Sheila's mad at him in the slightest,and its her cause and her opinion which counts most at the end of the day.
