NPNY: Prince moves out leaves 300k behind

2009-08-10 Thread Oliver, Damon
Taken from TMZ.com

Only Prince can rent a home for $150,000 a month, leave behind a
security deposit -- and the landlord doesn't know who to give it to.
According to a lawsuit filed in June, when Prince moved out of the home
he rented in Beverly Hills, he left behind a $300,000 security deposit.
3121 Rep Inc., the company that claimed to have brokered the lease for
Prince, has sued the owners to get the money back.

But the owners say Prince made all the payments himself -- 3121 was just
an intermediary -- so the money should go straight to him.

Now the two sides are suing each other, with Prince caught in the middle
-- 3121 wants the money they says is theirs, the owners just want their
attorney's fees paid.

Meanwhile, Prince is probably sitting somewhere composing ballads, with
no idea any of this is going on.

NPNY: FW: Prince Concert Review c/o Variety Online

2009-04-02 Thread Oliver, Damon
Prince


(LA Live: Nokia Theater 7,100 seats; The Conga Room 1,000 capacity; Club
Nokia 2,300 capacity; $77 per show) Presented by AEG Live and
Goldenvoice. Reviewed March 28, 2009

Bands: NT: Joshua Dunham, C.C. Dunham, Morris Hayes, Shelby J., Liv
Warfield, Elisa Fiorello; CR: Michael Bland, Sonny T.; CN: Renato Neto,
John Blackwell, Rhonda Smith. Guests: NT: Sheila E; CN: Chaka Khan.



By STEVEN MIRKIN
http://www.variety.com/index.asp?layout=biopeopleID=1530

If energy and ambition were the only criteria used to judge concerts,
Prince's run of shows Saturday at the L.A. Live entertainment complex
would have been an unqualified success. The three consecutive shows (at
the 7,100-seat Nokia Theater, the 1,000-capacity Conga Room and the
2,300- capacity Club Nokia, respectively), each featuring a different
band and wildly divergent moods, offered five hours of music over an
eight-hour period -- an undertaking impressive in scope, an attempt to
make good on Prince's boast late in the first show that I am music.
But bedeviled by sound problems, logistical hiccups that kept fans
waiting in interminable lines (the Club Nokia show started while the aud
was still filing in) and snowballing delays that pushed the final show
until 1 a.m. (an hour after the announced starting time), the evening
ended up as mixed bag. The event mirrored the tripartite nature of
Prince's latest release, a three-CD set released on his NPG label, and
available since Tuesday on his Lotusflow3r.com website and on-sale
Sunday at Target stores (which were incessantly hyped on the video
screens prior to the Nokia Theater show). The shows could be seen as
roughly analogous to the three CDs: the lean, hit-heavy grooves of the
Nokia Theater to the retro-Prince funk of MPLSoUND, the
Hendrix-inspired power trio at the Conga Room to the guitar-rocking
Lotusflow3r, and the leaden fusion and bedroom ballads performed at
Club Nokia to the uninspired seductions of Elixer (credited to Bria
Valente, Prince's latest breathy-voiced female protege). But the shows
also turned progressively more self-indulgent, so much so that if a
fourth show were scheduled, it might have featured Prince showing slides
from the family's trip to Mt. Rushmore, accompanied by a ukulele solo.
The Nokia Theater set was Prince's roadshow: a standard performance, a
default run-though of hits with a few covers tossed in for good measure.
Backed by a four-piece band (and three backing singers) that included a
sinewy rhythm section and a bluesy harmonica flitting in and out of the
grooves, and lots of room for guitar solos, he opened the show with Old
Skool Company. One of the highlights from MLPSoUND, it's a lanky
groove that posits music as a balm against hard times. And the rest of
the 90-minute set tried to set a party mood: 1999, Kiss, If I Was
Your Girlfriend, covers of Tommy James and the Shondell's Crimson and
Clover (with a bit of the Troggs' Wild Thing tossed in), Wild
Cherry's Play That Funky Music (with the vocal handled by a member of
the aud), Kool and the Gang's Hollywood Swinging and the Beatles Come
Together.
But, in what would prove to be the evening's recurring theme, the sound
was terrible. The vocals were distorted and staticky, like an old album
played by a dusty stylus, his guitar kept feeding back and the drums
lacked punch. Prince, who looked to be in a good mood, proved his mettle
as an entertainer, gamely playing through the glitches. But about a
half-hour in, he demanded the monitors cut, which dissipated what little
energy the show had built up, and Prince was forced to fall back on his
old school RB moves: leading the aud in call and response vocals,
demanding hands to clap and bodies to sway, and repeating Hollywood
for an easy cheer. Not even a surprise appearance by Sheila E for
Glamorous Life could raise the show out of the ordinary.
Matters improved markedly for the Conga Room show. Playing to the
smallest aud of the evening, he opted to front a Band of Gypsys-inspired
power trio. Backed by longtime friends Sonny T. on bass and the
enormous, volcanic Michael Bland on drums, Prince played an ecstatically
powerful, hourlong set of funk-inflected classic rock and blues, running
through a rocking All Shook Up, a greasy With A Little Help From My
Friends, a flinty When You Were Mine and two of Lotusflow3r's more
political songs, Colonized Mind and Dreamer. He soloed extensively,
playing with a chunky, overdriven tone that recalled Hendrix (an
influence he acknowledged with a cover of Spanish Castle Magic). It
was the kind of set you could imagine the young Prince playing at some
dingy roadhouse 30 years ago, and the musicians played with the kind the
relaxed familiarity that only comes with time (that familiarity may also
have helped them to play through the problems with the stage sound). It
might have been indulgent, but the music was played with such joy and
warmth, it transcended it.
That, unfortunately, was not to be the case at Club Nokia. 

RE: NPNY: Re: npny-digest V2009 #15

2009-03-06 Thread Oliver, Damon
It's marketing also. Who would buy an unknown artist without first hearing
at least a couple of tunes on the radio or online somewhere and maybe on a
talk show or video? This way at least the fan base buys her album and get 2
Prince cd's with it. I think Tamars Milk and Honey album could've done
respectable numbers on its own.

I too have mixed feelings about this cd set.  Nobody knows or cares who the
hell Bria is...what I was expecting was a 3 cd set of new prince music.
Actually, what we were told was that prince would release 3 albums this
year.
So I guess that's out with the trash and we're only getting 2 cds and one
from
Bria.
Pretty disappointing and especially disappointing if one of prince's cds
turns
out to be instrumental!  Wow! that would suck!  

We can always hope for a tour right??

NPNY: Michael trying to outdo Prince again?

Taken from Buzzpatrol.com celebrity gossip.
Michael Jackson set to launch spectacular 30-date at London's O2 arena

Posted: 20 Feb 2009 06:46 PM PST
Wow! just Wow!
Michael Jackson is set to launch a spectacular 30-date comeback at London's
O2
arena this summer.
Wacko Jacko has been in secret talks with organizers for months in a
desperate
bid to revive his career.
The 50 year old singer is reportedly on the verge of securing £1.5($2.3)
million-a-night to perform.
Bad news for fans, ticket prices are set to cost over £500($700) per ticket.
The last time Michael performed in England was the History tour in 1997.
A source said: 'It will be the greatest comeback in the history of pop and
there would be no problem selling out the O2 every night. There have been
rumors about his health but that is not an issue. He is capable of doing all
the shows.'
Michael needs the money now more than ever, it is understood he has accrued
debts of more than £150($250) million.

NPNY: FW: [TheFloridaNPG] Fwd: HOUSEQUAKE CLOSING INFO UPDATE

2009-02-01 Thread Oliver, Damon
Taken from TheFloridaNPG

Thanks Judy for the update...

From Gav
A housequake moderator


Firstly, the simple reason that nothing's been said is that as many of
you know, I look after the Prince liaison and legal statements for
Housequake and I've been snowed under with my day job - in fact I only
found out HQ was closed by email from one of the other mods this
morning.

As some have noticed, relations with official sources have been very
good of late, however mostly because we've been playing the game and
trying our best to not offend P. An example of this is how we've had a
header that doesn't even mention Prince's name nor shows his photo.

A couple of weeks ago, one member put together some excellent
lotusflower inspired banners that used a symbol that looked a bit like
Prince's but with a flower modification. As they didn't infringe
copyright, we took the decision to put these live, along with the
official banners we were supplied directly by P.

Roughly 24 hours later, we got a very blunt email saying this must be
removed from one of his team. We tried to discuss this explaining that
it's very difficult to have a fan website that doesn't have a picture of
Prince or even show his symbol, however P was adamant that we don't
imply official status.

As someone else noticed on this thread, this was quite frankly the straw
that broke the camels back and Aaron came to the belief that this really
isn't a fun thing to do any more. Please remember that this is just a
hobby for Aaron. It costs him money to run (we can't take donations any
more as it changes our legal status and this was used by Prince's legal
representation to claim we were a commercial organisation - nice huh ?)
and take up a great deal of his time. Would you spend time and money on
something you didn't enjoy ?

Is HQ over ? I personally don't know but I've spent a great deal of time
playing united nations to repair relationships between Prince and all
the PFU members (I brokered the ceasefire between the PFU and Prince)
so I'm not about to give up yet.

It Ain't Over !

ps - thanks for the notes of support for HQ. This isn't about Prince.org
vs Housequake, this is purely about fans rights to support an artist in
a reasonable manner.

-
Peace Love and Music,
judy

NPNY: Nikka Costa in Phily

Nikka Costa
Sunday, June 29 * 7:30 PM

Nikka Costa has always seemed to thrive on a certain sense of freedom. It¹s
no
wonder, that when Nikka set out to create a record on her own terms and as
an
independent artist finally free of major label confines, she has made her
boldest and most passionate record yet. Over 14 days at Henson Recording
Studios in Los Angeles, Nikka created Pebble to a Pearl- a quintessential
collection of soul, blues, funk  pop infused tracks which marks Nikka's
triumphant return onto the scene this Fall.

Growing up as legendary producer, Don Costa's (Sammy Davis Jr., Frank
Sinatra)
daughter, she broke on the scene in the early 2000's with an intuitive
sensibility for the soulful sound that has kept her place as a forerunner
among the new breed of soul singers. During this time, she toured with
Prince,
Lenny Kravitz, Coldplay and Beck, recorded with Mark Ronson,
was nominated for an MTV Music Award and had hit singles in Europe. Known
for
her dynamic and energetic live performance's Nikka's voice and presence has
often been compared with Janis Joplin, Chaka Khan and Sly Stone.

NPNY: JUST WONDER-FUL

2007-11-19 Thread Oliver, Damon
multipart/alternative
Sender: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Precedence: bulk
Reply-To: npny@lists.panix.com

From The New York Post



 November 19, 2007 -- STEVIE Wonder felt the heat of the spot light on his
face. He heard the riotous standing ovation before he even sang a note - he
seemed to taste the love.

At Saturday's sold-out Madison Square Garden gig, his first proper concert
here in 11 years, Wonder beamed an ear-to-ear smile at his fans and said
New
York, just like I pictured it - half wisecrack, half truth.

As for the audience's expectations, this 57-year-old soul survivor lived up
to
his rep as a musical showman with a performance that signed, sealed and
delivered goodness with a set that reached from 1969's My Cherie Amour to
the present.

What was wonderful about this show was that, despite the concert's most
memorable moments coming when Stevie dusted off one of his many No. 1 hits,
it
wasn't a golden oldie nostalgia show.

The iconic singer laid down an awe-inspiring performance, where his vocals
were youthful, his arrangements were big enough to fill the Garden and he
used
his celebrity to draw stars like Prince and Tony Bennett out of their seats
to
duet with him.

Hearing Stevie do For Once in My Life is a thrill - with Mr. Bennett, the
piece was inspired. When the pair traded the closing lines: For once, I can
say, this is mine, you can't take it, as long as I know I have love, I can
make it, For once in my life, I have someone who needs me, it was hard to
shake the shivers.

For the fan whose favorite Stevie song is Superstition, it couldn't have
gotten any better than when Wonder said: Prince? I understand Prince is
here.
Prince, you can jam with us if you want.

His Purpleness high-heeled his way onto stage in wraparound shades and a
high
collar-jacket, grabbed the first electric six-string in reach (a very
non-Prince slime green Stratocaster) and joined the band for a walloping
extended cover, complete with an ax solo that would have excited Darling
Nikki.

While this show ranked high on the concert meter, Wonder spent too much time
trying to get audience participation going in the tune Ribbon in the Sky.

When an artist has a songbook as outstanding as his, you don't need a
concert
segment where he rehearses the audience for a sing-along that sounded as
off-key and out of time as you'd expect.

No doubt there were some inspired by the concert's introductory monologue,
where Wonder had a moment of silence for 9/11 victims; spoke about being
paralyzed with grief after the death of his mom; offered Kanye West (who
just
lost his own mother) a shoulder to cry on; and ultimately revealed this show
happened because he got a motherly nag from the other side telling him: Get
your ass outta bed and back onstage.

Heartfelt patter, but it was still an ass-backwards way to begin what would
be
a rollicking show.

Otherwise, there were few transgressions. It was a generous 2½ hours long,
Wonder's voice was steady, warm and jazzy and the set was excellent. The top
songs included Higher Ground, Living for the City, I Wish and Master
Blaster. The exclusion of the loved but insipid I Just Called to Say I
Love
You, even showed wisdom just might come with age.

In the end, when you closed your eyes and listened, it was just the way
you'd
picture a Stevie Wonder concert.

Princes 'response' song seems to have its desired effect. Blind the fans
into thinking it's a funky song (can't deny it is) and lose interest in
PFU. Don't get duped into thinking its anything but a ploy. He'll
probably offer it for download for a fee and sue you for having it on
your website if you stream it. Its amazing reading the post on other
groups and the so called disgruntled fans are praising this song and
forgetting about why it was put up by Prince in the first place.

I saw a couple of American Idol concerts (yeah well, it was fun), and
was
surprised to hear the top 10 perform the chorus of Prince's America a
few
times, as an addendum to another song. I wonder if he knows they are
using
his
song?

I doubt it is a copyright violation  (not that I have an actual clue)
but given Prince's proclivity, don't you imagine he'd think so?

RE: NPNY: Planet Earth Anyone Buy It?

2007-07-25 Thread Oliver, Damon
I don't think he is trying to make hits, we have been conditioned by the
industry to think that older artist with new music are trying to make
hits. True in some cases but not for Prince. It only takes 2 brain cells
to have a hit (example: this is why I'm hot, beautiful girls/suicidal) I
think that Prince is missing a muse, someone or something to inspire him
or spark him creatively. But we all know he has it in him to do better,
or even dust off some of the jams out of his vault that haven't been
released or bootlegged. Shoot, even do a whole cover album, I love to
hear his interpretations of EWF's I Write A Song For You or Stevies
Superstition.

For those of us who were alive when Prince started, we're all around the
age
where this division of opinion is a good thing.

It's just like how there are still people who go to every Rolling Stones
and
KISS show, knowing that the best days of those bands have long since
passed.
They're going to relive the good old days. The difference with Prince, I
think, is that we all KNOW that he can do better, and there's the
question
of all this genius unreleased stuff he has just sitting around. Do any
of
you who say you like this album believe he can't do any better? This is
a
dude who sold hundreds of thousands of copies of Lovesexy, a one track
album. I think Lovesexy has more musical depth than Planet Earth, and
if
the only reason why is because he's older now, then perhaps he's done.
I
personally hope not, because there isn't exactly any one else out here
challenging  the musical (and corporate) status quo like him.

On the average, it looks like everyone has 3 or 4 songs that they like
from
this album. Compared to entire ALBUMS we've liked from him in the past.
I
think that says something about  an artist of Prince's caliber. And what
I
think it says is that he's trying to make hits, which is a bad move.

It just seems maybe instead being innovative, its more routine. Used to
be a time where most of the songs on an album were good to great and
then he would have B side that would be killer, now its maybe two songs
and the rest are fillers.

Regardless of what musical style made the term iconic in music; we know
Prince is just using religious imagery in the same way he's done
countless time. I mean how is this any different than the song 7;
which is full of religious imagery.  As for it being used for something
trivial; I don't know. I read the lyrics someone transcribed and while
I'm not exactly sure what he's singing about exactly; doesn't sound
trivial :)

Prince to play 21 London concerts





US performer Prince is to play 21 concerts in London this summer, his only
European dates of the year.



He is to spend a week at the O2 arena - formerly the Millennium Dome - with
tickets priced at £31.21, a reference to his album 3121.



He will also play at a number of far smaller venues to make seeing him
affordable for everybody.



The 48-year-old, known for hits such as Kiss and Raspberry Beret, has
prepared
150 songs to perform on the tour.

And he hopes to be joined on stage by soul singer Amy Winehouse, having
declared himself a big fan.



I love London, he explained at a press launch. I've had some of my
favourite shows here.



An extended stay had been arranged because during his last tour in London -
in October 2002 - a lot of people didn't get to see me.

Prince - who famously changed his name to a squiggle symbol in the 1990s
after
falling out with his record label - added that he would be house-hunting in
the British capital.



As soon as I leave here I'm going to look for a place to live, he told
journalists.



Tickets for the O2 arena gigs, the first of which will be on 1 August, go on
sale on Friday at 0900 BST.









Peace  B Wild!!

PRINCE cancelled plans to appear in an episode of THE SIMPSONS, because
creator Matt Groening wouldn't agree to a script written by the pop
star's
chauffeur. The Purple Rain hitmaker was set to follow Michael Jackson,
Sir
Paul MCCartney and the Rolling Stones, who have all made guest
appearance on
the animated hit. But pulled out of the show at the very last minute.
Groening tells the New York Daily News, Prince wanted to do the show,
so we
wrote him a script. It didn't work out, because his chauffeur had
written a
script too, and Prince wanted to use that one.

NPNY: Prince halftime news conference

2007-02-02 Thread Oliver, Damon
From Philadelphia Daily News:



Best Super Bowl halftime advanced news conference ever yesterday.
Usually a bleary eyed performer sits and thanks sponsors and such. But
Prince, who will headline the Super Bowl XLI extravaganza, apparently
did not want to talk. So he sang and played instead.

 After some yada yada from Pepsi officials, Prince and his
entire band , including backup singers, took the stage for three songs.
Prince faked out reporters, walking to the mike and saying that contrary
to rumor, he was going to answer questions. Then, when somebody tried to
ask one, he launched into Johnny B Goode.

 That was followed by  Anotherloverholenyohead and Get On
The Boat. It was an unusual scene. Usually, reported don't stand up and
dance at news conferences, unless of course, Andy Reid is laying down
the groove.

 Happy Feet is dense with pop music, from Beatles (Golden Slumbers sung

the

Patti
 LaBelle, Fantasia Barrino and Pink.

 We spent a lot of time talking about music, says Miller. We went
for
 iconic music, from having to differentiate between the penguins by
giving
 each one a song specific to themselves. Who's more iconic than Elvis,
for
 example, or Prince?

 In fact, Miller scored a bit of a coup with the artist formerly known
as
 'The Artist Formerly Known As ...' The songs Sign Of The Times and
Kiss
 both
 had their lyrics rewritten, with rare permission by the artist.
Prince
 never changes the lyrics to his songs, and Gary LeMel (from Warner
Music)
 said 'If he ever saw the movie, he'd see it was appropriate.' They
went to
 Minneapolis, showed him the movie, and apparently he picked up his
guitar,
 started strumming and said 'Give me two weeks.' And he not only let us
 change the lyrics, but he gave us this beautiful song, The Song Of The
 Heart, for the end. And I thought 'Wow, he likes the movie!'

 I am going to be out in vegas for work from thurs to Monday staying at
 Treasure Island. Flights from NY and rooms are tough out there because
 there is the AAO meeting for ophthalmologists. About 20K attend. I'm
 working at the Pfizer booth and that's why I was lucky enough to be
out
 there already.

 I called the restaurant and got a reservation for Thursday the 9th at
 8pm. Not sure what the heck I'm doing with it but thought I would keep
 it anyway.

 That's my deal for nowif anyone cares :)

His ADD would kick in and he'll get bored with performing then he'll be
in a lawsuit for breach of contract for not completing his designated
amount of shows. Plus I'm not sure if he could consistently sustain a
crowd on an almost daily basis for whatever length of time a vegas
lounge lizard has shows, be it a month or a year of shows.

Moderator: I am sure he could easily sell out shows. The only problem 
would be it won't be the crowds he used too.  Maybe for the first few

To lazy to transcribe, but the gist is that Prince is talking to Steve
Wynn's people doing a long standing show ala Celine Dion in Vegas.

This rumor has been going around for for many months now and I predicted
it a few years ago. I wouldn't really be to surprised if it really did
happen.

Of course on the flip side I doubt prince could pull this off. He is way
too inconsistant. Imagine him doing a month of shows in the same
place...

Some more info can be found at the HQ thread.

The challenge is coming from HM Publishing Holdings LTD which

the rights to NPG (Nature Publishing Group) although it is for
science/medicine.  This can probably be cleared up with further

To get around the lifetime thing, he will probably have to change the

but 3121 doesn't seem to have the longevity as Prince's other imagined

interested in promoting 3121 as an album, much less a website.

I'm with ya on this one.

2004 was a slammin' year with all the hype attached.  But, this is a
good
way to weed out the ones who were just there for the joy ride.  Even
when
the club was $100 a year, you knew only the hardcore fans would be
crazy
enough to join and keep the club alive.

Sometimes you just need to clean house and start over. However when
 Prince
cleans house, he REALLY CLEANS, even if he is throwing out the good
with
the bad.

Not like we haven't been here before and we won't go there again.
And
Again, And Again...

But it's Prince, so you either go along for the ride or get off the
bus.
Through it all, I'll take the ride.

Peace and wonderful observation.

Basically he can offer space for advertisements to offset the cost of
some things while providing a more substantial content to keep people
coming back in. and maybe a monthly fee like 9.99 a month for
membership. And for gods sake offer some of the music he has in his

Apparently if you try to purchase a membership, this page comes up:

http://www.npgmusicclub.com/register.php

A graphic that states, The NPGMC is currently not accepting any new
membership.


Not sure how long it's been there but it has to be a recent change,
since I read of people buying memberships as recently as June 16.

Any speculations on what it can mean?

- Upgrading the database?
- Changing the terms of membership?
- In preparation for a tour, they've capped the number of members to
allow for presale opportunities for all existing members? (yeah I know
that's a long shot)
- The end of the site?

Dear Derek:

 Doesn't this go along with the usual trend you have
illustrated over and overPrince gets the chance to
make money and he turns it away.  I guess it was
too much free advertising with the Webby Award,
Adobe, etc.

Enjoy

Moderator: Oh yea! the webby thing that was so below the radar of
important things in life I forgot about it LOL Good catch!  -Derek

Subject: NPNY: NPGMC is not accepting new members


 Apparently if you try to purchase a membership, this page comes up:

 http://www.npgmusicclub.com/register.php

 A graphic that states, The NPGMC is currently not accepting any new
 membership.


 Not sure how long it's been there but it has to be a recent change,
 since I read of people buying memberships as recently as June 16.

 Any speculations on what it can mean?

 - Upgrading the database?
 - Changing the terms of membership?
 - In preparation for a tour, they've capped the number of members to
 allow for presale opportunities for all existing members? (yeah I know
 that's a long shot)
 - The end of the site?

 As I have become fond of saying... my answer:

 Only the woman knows... only she knows.  :)

So how did this fan VIP thing work? Did you email GMA/ABC requesting
specifically for anything?

Not going to see Maceo.

But also got the email from ABC/GMA this morning... an added incentive
to go
now.

Kinda weird that P has not yet announced any other gigs while he's in
town.

 Anyone going to see Maceo tonight (Irving Plaza) or tomorrow (Prospect
 Park). I'm definitely going tonight and possibly tomorrow.

 Also, anyone else get Fan VIP tickets for Prince on Friday? Not
through
 NPGMC but through ABC. I emailed them weeks ago and didn't expect
 anything but got tickets this morning. Anyone know where the VIP area
 is?

 Moderator: Didn't even know they had such a thing. Honestly I don't
even
 think I am going. I don't even want to get up at early for work and
they
 pay me. Prince PPbT!  -Derek

RE: NPNY: 3121 drops 13% in Sales

2006-06-08 Thread Oliver, Damon
With his on again off again and now confirmed on again performance on
GMA I think he'll make at least 15,000, not much more since he had
greater exposure on AI. Are any of his singles even being played on
radio (and not internet radio)?

Subject: NPNY: 3121 drops 13% in Sales

After showing a nice increase in sales proceeding the American Idol
appearance you guess it! 3121 drops again. Dropping from 79 to 90 on the
Billboard Top 200.

This weeks sales 11,384
Last weeks Sales 13,604

On an interesting note 3121 is selling better then it do 2 weeks ago. We
have to thank the little bit of exposure for this.

Total Sales To Date as of weekending 6.4.06: 435,440
Total Left Till Gold: 64,560

Number of weeks Derek Estimates it will take before it hits gold: 8
weeks
with Prince current trend of non-promotion

RE: NPNY: Prince with Tamar on Good Morning America!!

2006-05-11 Thread Oliver, Damon
I noticed on the GMA website where it gives the information about the
performing artist, that they have alink where you can submit a question
that one of the host will ask the artist, and for Prince there is no
link to ask a question. Lol

Okay:  Virgin alert

So what time would you need to be in NYC for this?  I know some of you
veterans (Today show concerts) would know the ins/outs of attending.

So please let me know how to go about this.  THANK YOU (Just happens to
be
my day off so I probably can work this)

BTW:  Don't you think it's funny that this is the first time Prince has
been to another network.  He's always been on NBC's Today in the past.

Moderator:I have never done it before, but I can tell this:

Well most of the lunatic [especially the ones that are too old for this
tactic and should know better! :-P] will be there from 12am. Why I have
no
idea... Oh yeah! The warped desire to be up front. If your Tonia you
will
probably be there starting Ummm now! [LMAO!].

If I decide to go I plan on being there at around 5:30am. I am not
trying
to lose sleep hours of sleep for what might be maybe 1 to 3 songs.

NPNY: one last Idol KIss tidbit

2006-05-10 Thread Oliver, Damon
Prince cleared the way for his song to be used by Paris.



Taken from AOL/Entertainment Weekly Interview



Do you think your performances of Prince's ''Kiss'' and Mary J. Blige's
''Be Without You'' got you voted out?
I was very very happy with my performances. I wouldn't change them in
any way, shape, or form. And for Prince to clear it for me...

He cleared the rights to ''Kiss'' because he knew you were singing it?
Yeah - that was the first time Prince cleared a song, and the first time
Mary did too.
