Child u make me laugh.

anyone consider that Madonna's "I Want You" wasn't specifically what he was shaking his head about?


that maybe it was filmed previously and when he sold it to VH1, they inserted some random Vh1 playback?


i haven't seen that particular special since... well, probably when it originally aired, but it's a possibility.

Maybe he was irritated because she is a no-talent (LOL) Anyway she got what she deserved because WB has treated her real shitty in the last few years.

It does not matter who you are when they are done with you they are done with you.

Newsflash !!! Prince did come up with his contract. This would have started with Steve Fargoli !!!

The Batman soundtrack kicks ass. It made the movie and at least Prince knows what a power chord is. Maddonna is lucky she has crazy ass fans who pay $300.00
to see a broadway like production. Her CD's are not flying out of the stores but, she has tits and ass and that keeps her around.

Deserved? What did they do that she deserved? And why did she deserve it?

I think you're pretty off-base as well. She and WB did have problems for a time, but everything's been resolved and the amount of work they're putting into her upcoming album seems to indicate that they're giving her damn-near royal treatment.

Warners is not "done" with Madonna.They are working with her to ensure that her new CD gets massive promotion and big sales.You just hate her because she didn't support Prince's ill-advised war with Warners.But she has proven that there is a smart,effective way to deal with record companies without messing up one's career and alienating the fans.

This staged VH1 thing is from October/November 1995. It was when THE GOLD EXPERIENCE was out and they played the '95 'Love 4 One Another'...that whole evening was dedicated to Prince and the NPG as he 'took over' VH1 and was controlling the panals. He took a couple digs at Maddy with 'I Want You' and 'You'll See'...he looked at Tommy Bararella and Michael Bland at his 2 sides with his famous smirk and stopped the video.

It was funny...

'95 was probably the last year Prince was very visible on VH1...later that year he did the VH1/Vouge Fashion Awards were he performed 'P Control'....

peace

Couldn't have said it better myself.

Prince is probably thinking "what's all the fuss"?

laurarichardson said:

for someone with no Talent she sure has done alot. All of her co-producers do nothing but sing her prasies. of course what do they know all they do is work with her.

kisscamille said:

If Prince didn't care why did he write the letter, co-write Love Song, and offer her a role in Graffiti Bridge? He has never made the swipes at her in his music like he has MJ. They respect each other for their talents. Madonna has always wanted mass public attention over artistic merit, at least with her music. Her videos and tours are another story. Just because she goes after the pop market doesn't make her a nontalent or worse. It takes alot more to stay in the mainstream for 20+ years.

She has never alienated her fans, MTV, VH1 or WB. If you don't like her that's fine. Life would be boring if we all liked the same thing. But to call her a talentless ho is another thing. No one would be interested in her anymore if she was just a hack.

WBR is bending over backwards to promote the hell out of this record, and i'm sure they would have done the samething for Prince had he been willing to uphold his end of the contract. In 95 he was probably upset that Madonna was getting more support for her greatest ballads collection than he was getting for The Gold Expereince. WB was willing to throw money at Madonna because she was willing to do things their way. That's why she got better videos and better press. Don't hate her cause she's beautiful.

I'd love to see her do anything without a team of producers & musicians.

andyman91 said:

I'd love to see you achieve only one hundredth of what she has.

andyman91 said:

when was the last time you had a sold out world tour that grossed 140million dollars?

.....he has?




true.

ehuffnsd said:

Last year, as a matter of fact! No, you're right, I'm not as big a superstar as Madonna. But actually I was commenting that she couldn't make albums as good as Rave if she had as much to do with them as Prince did.

andyman91 said:

She has alot to do with them she is producer of everytrack and Excutive Producer of the album. Everything has to meet her standards to appear on the album. Yes she relies on others help... but that is a strength not a weakness. Everyone she works with say she listens to their ideas and makes them work in the pop world. She writes the hooks and most of the melodies. along with the lyrics and steers the album in the direction she wants to go. She isn't a puppet or a push over.

read Shep Pettibone's Erotica diary which is on line and easy to find though google. look at anything Nile Rodgers or Stuart Price has said about her. Look at interveiws from WO and Mirwais. The only people who don't talk are Patrick Leonnard, because of their close personal relationship and Steven Bray, because he is an ex.


Because she doesn't record alone doesn't make her any less. that's a high standard and few do it. even Prince doesn't do it all that well all the time. it's good to have fresh ideas and differnt points of view it gives new life to an artist to have new experiences influence the work.

ehuffnsd said:

She's got good taste and knows to surround herself with the right talent, also she's often got better pop sensibilites than Prince. Musician? Not so much.

andyman91 said:

Does it really matter she isn't a great musician. Not so much.

ehuffnsd said:

Not to a lot of people, no, not so much.

laurarichardson said:

$300.00, now that's insane and you know when her next tour hits the states, it'll be $400.00 - $500.00 and them fans are still going to pay for it. Highway robbery

Michael kicks both thier asses anywayz

I thought the prices for Prince's H'nR shows were ridiculous too. Lots of people bitched, but they still went.

RepoMan said:

What was the highest tickets went for at the H'nR shows? Before you shoot me down, I really don't remember what the prices were.

That's some funny shit right there.

laurarichardson said:

it "made" the movie? the songs were barely in the movie, aside from Party Man and Trust.





you say that like it's a bad thing. it's hard to describe someone as down on their luck when you're criticizing them for selling out arenas at $300 a pop.

Prince is still mad that Madonna walked on Grafitti Bridge set and said "this film is crap"

Prince should have said "Oh yea? Well, bitch you made Shanghai Surprise and I can see the future and you are gonna make a heap of bullshit movies to come"

and then Madonna would shoot back "But at least i wasnt on this film"



I think prince gets mad when he sees people become stars who have marginal talent.
