Re: [Prince-4ever] Prince Keeps It Fresh At Welcome 2 America Show [mtv.com]

once saw behind the music how it works, and charts are promotional tools.

i think he could have produced better songs in the 90's especially with the release of most beautiful girl in the world, i was expecting some smooth flavas like this and then dolphin came out, a good song but streamed different direction.

i think anyone who is spending 200,000 dollars a month on a house to renti s successful.

still the least of prince's albums is better than many of the artists best.

because creativity ooses out , he demands first creativity than cold business formula songs.

for him to get a hit single his got to spent time on a song, and really envision something.

like rick dees said on the charts when most beautiful girl in the world came out prince is a visionary and he needs to do this more.

though he still has those funky tunes

Prince Keeps It Fresh At Welcome 2 America Show
At New York's Madison Square Garden, the artist dug deep into his vault for two
hours of hits.

NEW YORK ? Prince hasn't had a hit single in more than 15 years and has gone
even longer without a legitimate hit album. And at 52 ? after all those years of
splits, spins and pivots in high heels on hard stages ? he can't dance like he
used to.
But he can still sing and play guitar, he's got a band as tightly drilled as the
Special Forces, and most of all, he's got a plush featherbed of hits. And that's
how he's managed to fill five New York-area arena shows over the course of six
weeks on his Welcome 2 America Tour: by promising ? and finally delivering ? the
hits that his fans want. His show at Madison Square Garden on Tuesday night was
certainly a crowd-pleaser.
See, Prince used to mess with his audience's expectations so flagrantly, it
verged on self-sabotage. He followed Purple Rain with the fan-confoundingAround
the World in a Day. He
