Album Reviews
The biggest difference between Robinson and Prince is the latter's blatant sexuality. Prince sings exclusively in falsetto. Instead of narrative ballads that trace the progress of relationships, Prince's songs are erotic declarations issued on the dance floor or in bed, virtually interchangeable arenas here. These compositions begin and end in sexual heat. The garish, synthesized textures of such tunes as "I Wanna Be Your Lover" and "Why You Wanna Treat Me So Bad?" don't so much imitate a band backing a singer as enclose his voice in a feverish calliope of the mind, underscoring the urgency of lyrics like "I wanna be the only one you come for," "Sexy dancer, when you rub my body/...it gets me so hot" and "I want to come inside of you." The simplicity of Prince's words, hooks and rhythms are pure pop. With a trace more sophistication, he could become a solo Bee Gees of the libido.

Hello
All You Faithfull Music Lovers Everywhere.
What do you like most in your music? Is it ability to sing along? Is it the sound of the Instruments? Have you ever been listening to the Radio and realized you hated the song the station was jammin, and thought wow i dislike this song! Then Why in heavens name am I singing everyword? At a time about 3 years ago
I remember listening to the radio I got madd and then started a detailed search of every single station that my antenna picked up.
I didn't like anything not nothing they were playing. I couldn't believe it! So I call 411 directory assistance and gave them the call letters to the only 2 stations that I thought would play my favorite Prince song. All the other stations were different kinds o music.
So I am now asking Kiss 98.1 FM to play a song of The MAGIC MAN The Only Artist that could get this bad Radio Programing back up to a better pace and sound. Well the songs that I asked for were, the extended version of Controversy
The Pope, Paisley Park, Love Signs (symbol),
Mountains, America, Sexuality, *Elephants and Flowers, Sexy dancer, Love to the 9's, Gold,
The Greatest Romance Ever Sold, The Marrying Kind, and Last but not least, Take me with you. Well folks To show some respect to the most contributing the most universal, The Finest, The truley Most Dedicated To His Style and Bold Expression he got non. You know if it wern't for My Pirate Downloads (sorry prince) I would never hear anything new. What am I suppose to do allow the Radio to control my Choice of Music. Seriously. I had gone to the record store before and took a few unknowns to me to the counter for them to play so I could hear it.
Maybe 1 song from 1 album when I had 3 albums from that same artist but only liked 1 song. I bought that album. Needless to say non of the other CD's, Tapes I chose even came close to what I like. So what I think is let us download the music because how else are we going to hear great I mean great Music Expecially The music From The Artist Prince Rogers Nelson in like say today's generation. I cannot Allow something so foul to happen. Thank GOD for the most Exciting Super Bowl Half Time I ever Seen. If it wasn't for that performance I would be out selling my pirated CD's to the Local Bars Still. With songs like Ain't Nobody by the one and only Chaka Khan and Prince. I don't want to keep going on about my opinion of the independantly made Music CD that I got to put my own favorite songs on and listen to every single time I get into the car and for the entire duration of my trip around town.
So For what it's worth My rating and review of Prince by faithfully yours Prince
Robin Elizabeth Manhollan
Your Music Prince Has helped me go from
sad, angry madd at the world. To The most happiest chick on the Planet. I'll Sing with you for hours and dance my but off listening to HOT THING or IT darn it Man you School You make the Rules. I know your are behind most of the Hip Hop and R&B and even Alternative hits. your
