You know what I LOVE about this thread, Linda is against Prince!!
Now that doesnt mean she likes Paris, but is on the opposing team.
Now THAT is funny.

[lily.]

Yeah, that's irony isn't it Chris? Although to be fair, I'm not anti-Paris either.

Your not?
Wow thats even better

[lily.]

No, I'm not really. I don't think you'll find me being nasty about her for no reason. I did watch some of the first season of The Simple Life and it was good.

I'm not a "fan" as such, but I'm certainly not a "hater".

[Chrizzle]

Well thats good enough! As long as your not a hater

[Sophii3x]

Ahh I think I know who he is now. Nicole mentioned him loads in her book.

And Chris, do you renember what Richard Branson did to Paris last year?

[lily.]

Nope... plus I love arguin with G, cuz I always win...

He just doesn't always admit it...

No

Firstly, I doubt this is even true considering the source. Secondly, whilst humiliating someone - whoever it may be - is not on, having your own opinion is. Perhaps Prince just doesn't consider Paris to be talented (can't say I do either to be honest), and the situation got blown out of proportion. I don't think Paris can sing either really, I'm not a fan, but at the same time I've never hated her and do congratulate her when she's done something worthy of it.

I don't know much about Prince's personality either myself, but I don't see why he'd bother making a comment like that. All I know is that he's a huge star and extremely talented. I'm shocked people haven't heard of him really.

I was shocked at that too Ash, but I figured it was cuz he was HUGE in my childhood, and that some people were too young to have heard of him. However, I have a vast knowledge of all music.. even from before my time. So I suppose it depends on how interested you are in music.

[Chrizzle]

Ive heard of him, but i cant sing anything that hes released.
Ive heard of Purple Rain but I dont know how it goes.

Yeah, that's probably what it is.
Anyway, as for the Richard Branson thing - I didn't realise that was such a big issue, he's known for having a laugh - the cheerful billionaire. Just like getting 'Punk'D' to be honest, and as far as I'm aware Paris saw it that way too. It didn't enrage any Paris Hilton fans I happen to know anyway. You may read the odd bit in the papers, but that's hardly the most reliable thing in the world.

I could sing it to you, but I can take no responsibility for damage to the hearing.

Havent you? Umm well basically Richard invited Paris to his sons Alice In Wonderland themed birthday party. Paris asked if she could go dressed as Alice. Unknown to Paris, Richard requested that all the waitresses at the party should dress up as Alice also. Paris arrived at the party in her costume, and people thought she was a waitress becuase of the outfits.

[lily.]

Lmao.. that reminded me of the party in Bridget Jones where nobody told her that it wasn't fancy dress, and she came with her bunny costume on!!!

Thats Horrible, why would he do that to her.

Because he thought it would be funny and she is up for a joke.

[Bells]

Read my view on it above Ruth.
Anyway, I'm beginning to have less and less faith in the papers these days and all - they're so unreliable! It gets dead annoying.

EDIT: Red has just summarised it.

[Dan_]

Prince is proably annoyed with people that are not talented in music but seem to make their way off the back of manufactured music and their fame, he's just seeing if she can actually sing.

[Ruth]

I'm amazed that some people haven't heard of Prince! Or am I just really old (there's no need to answer that)!

Anyway, I have to say, I have most of Prince's albums, and I honestly think he is a musical genius. I think he's a pretty switched on guy as well, you know. He gives me the impression that he's just taking the p*** half the time.

Remember in the 80s when people were saying, who's better out of Michael Jackson and Prince? Prince wins hands down. Michael Jackson had one great album - Thriller - and he had Quincy Jones to thank for that.

I'm not a Paris hater - how could I hate anyone I don't know? But I'll tell you this - I do think she's untalented, and not worthy of all the fame and adoration she receives. And when I've read interviews with her, she comes across as a real bitch. This story about Prince humiliating her is not true, but it does make me wonder what it would be like if Paris actually attempted to sing live!

[GiRTh]

I'm not at all surprised some of you haven't heard of Prince. After all, he's never been in the tabloids or starred in his own reality TV show so how would you be familiar with him.

And Linda, whatever, about you won. You had to start a thread just so you could insult me in it. Purlease. We both know what happened.

But you would have thought people would take enough interest in music to look at the roots of todays music in the distant past at least. Princes music will now be the driving force behind some of the sounds of today. To disregard roots of modern music shows a lack of respect for the medium and shows contempt for Artists of the past and their contribution to the world of music. After all todays music has been created from evolutionary process refined over centuries and without the works the past we wouldn't have the music we love today.

I totally agree Red. I think it's a society thing. I have friends who are like this. They scratch the surface of something then act like they're some kind of expert and if someone was any good then thyey'd have heard of them. Cos there's nothing cool out there that they haven't heard of.

[Emilee]

That story isnt funny. I hope that it is false... anyone being humiliated like that is horrible.... its one of the worst feeling in the world.... and for people to be lauhing at ot isnt that funny.

I always get humiliated at school and it isnt that funny.
