    Prince. Dr. Funkenberry. *THANK YOU so MUCH* Prince, u know what would be divine, hon? If you resurrect “Gold” I love that song so much and it truly is inspirational to me. You are awesome Prince, continue to be you and do what you were created to: spread happiness through your genius creativity and feel good vibes!

    CHOCOLATSIS65 – HEY THANKS!

    U KNOW I LUV HIM – BUT NOT TOO MUCH – AS A SISTER! 🙂 ALL GOOD AND SAFE!

    IT’S ALWAYS BEEN ABOUT THE SEARCH, WELL, AND THE BEAUTIFUL MUSIC FROM HIM THAT I ADORE! (AND THE DANCIN TO THE MUSIC)

    ANYHOW, I NEVER JOINED THE CLUB – BECAUSE I COULD NOT AFFORD IT!

    AS FAR AS HIM BEING A SABOTEUR – I DON’T THINK HE MEANT TO BE – SO THERE4 HE ISN’T.

    PEACE AND LUV! 🙂 IT’S ALL ABOUT LUV ISN’T IT? LUV IS INPORTANT!

    Yes ANNA I agree! and I was thinking I’m not sure what scares me more the people that hate him or the people that supposedly love him lol. People have u never heard about the word *assume* it breaks down into three small words and it is what u make of urself and those who listen to u if u do it. Elixer?? dirtymindnomore! Theres nothing wrong with singing about sex in the right context, its a gift from our maker and IS the marriage bond!
    If there really is somethin goin round town it aint from me though there sure is talk about me! n I sure been gettin alot of strong vibes, but I could B paranoid (usually pretty savvy) though. I know I have prayerfully asked for help not 2 assume as well.
    All I know is I’m not and never will B ashamed of the lurve I’ve always had and will have 4him 4ever “Love is whatever,whatever u want it 2 B” but it aint hate! even if u don’t get what u want or think u deserve for yo $77

    Great jam.. thanks for sharing. I still will never get changing words like “damn” in a song, when writing a track called Elixir, meaning “he licks her”..that’s ok.. just don’t mention a words that *means” sex.. no that’s bad. Hypocritical stuff like that has almways hurt my head.
    But enough ranting..the track sounds great and he’s still in great form, and thanks for giving us a chance to hear it.

    Forgive me if this is interpreted to be a negative response,while I love prince and have followed him loyaly since the early 80’s, it appears to me that his physical well being or problems are affecting his performances. It appears to be affecting his movement ,.kind ceating a domino affect. It seems as though he really can’t get into a song like he used to, which in turn I feel as though it’s affecting his singing. Being a person who has chronic pain in my lower back,it has affeced me greatly. All my life I was extremely athletic, but now my life has changed. So while I personally enjoyed the rehearsal ,I try to be realistic. I TRULLY HOPE THAT PRINCE DOES NOT LET HIS RELIGEOUS BELEIFS CURTAIL HIM. He deserves more credit than he gets from most folks. At the same time he’s so darn inaccessable, which is very frustrating for a loyal fan .For the haters ,RELAX! he’s not perfect ,considering what he’s done without the help of mega producers /songwriters. being icredibley prolific will stretch a person thin. At the same time as a true artist you will not always create what the masses want to hear .You create what makes you happy! Now I do hope that prince does come to his senses when it comes to his fans. with so many incredible performances through out the years it’s sad that a person has to resort to bootleg performances .if only he would put out a series of concert performances through out years of good quality ,unedited stuff. Over all, still and always I will be in prince’s corner . Take care of yourself prince! MUSIC MAKES THE WORLD GO ROUND! WE NEED YOU TO STICK AROUND FOR A WHILE , CONTINUE CREATING YOUR ART! NOT WHAT PEOPLE THINK YOU SHOULD BE CREATING. But PLEASE be on the fans side. PEACE!

    this is great, it’s got a spoken word feeling 2 it
    ” U Know eye Love ya” it’s got more than a bit
    of a raw truth sound that’s real
    & it sure makes a listener feel
    novus noveaux & new
    & those who still chew
    on bitterness from $77 & the sight of a Lotus
    well listen, imma give u advice give u notice;
    write it in ur diary & get it over with already
    or get it out of ur system alittle more steady:
    jump off a balcony or jump off shore
    cuz no1 wants 2 hear about it nomore
    when u can overjoy ur ears from a rare
    soul of harmony beauty & love who dare
    to stay true in a world very fake
    purify urself in the nearest lake
    & allow the honoring2begin
    cuz P is music’s double twin

    Sigh. Where do people get off reminding others how it is a rehearsal?How fucking patronizing! Can’t say that I’m estatic about his voice with this song but anyhoo exciting that Prince is sharing these things with his fans.

    REQUITE…..RECOMPENSE…..

    Glad to see Prince really cares about his fans……….NOT!

    Oh wait I should not complain that I paid $77 for an exclusive membership and Prince out of spite posts new material everywhere but the place his fans forked out $77 for.

    Tell me he’s not doing this sort of thing on purpose. He did not like the early criticism fans gave about the Lotus website so now he’s gonna show them. I’ve been a fan for a long long time and he’s known for getting a bug up his ass and moving on. Nothing new, I’m just tired of his game. Grow up!

    As far as the song goes, it’s hard for me to enjoy w/out feeling pissed off.

    it seems mr. nelson thinks someone is messing around on him who could do that when he has pledged to be true he has nothing to worry about

    I gotta b honest. Prince’s music is like a drug. I just can’t get enough! I’m hooked. Our generations Beethoven. Don’t matter wether it’s new or old it always sounds like the future! I think that we gotta lot 2 hear from this young old man. Peace b with u always.

    Ash.
