Recognize his royalness??? Last Thursday night my roommate and I went to see Tamar featuring Prince in concert. Who is Tamar, you ask? She is Prince's latest protege who is lucky that he is touring with her in concert so that she can charge $60 per ticket. Now, don't get me wrong, she can sing really well (which we can't say for most of his proteges back when he was sleeping with all of them) and she is a good dancer. But she doesn't have an album out yet (it is supposed to come out in May) and about half, if not more, of the songs she sang were covers. And her background singers where these skinny twins with long straight light brown hair in heels. They had a lot of really good, well coordinated choreography but all of it reminded me a little of a Las Vegas review.
But anyway, who cares. I was watching Prince most of the time anyway. He played guitar and sang background on all of Tamar's songs. He is so tiny..... but there is no one like him! We were lucky because he sang 4 songs that night (the previous night he only sang 1 1/2) ----- Purple Rain (Yes, yes, yes!!!!), Let's Go Crazy, Partyman (from the Batman soundtrack) and Black Sweat (his new song.) He could have stood up there and not said a word and just played guitar and I would have been happy! Sigh.......
If the show comes to your city, consider going. They are playing smaller venues so that is nice and they pull folks up on stange to dance. It was a 2 hour show and we really enjoyed ourselves....

Girl, you ain't said nothing but a word. I LOVE Prince, and have been fortunate enough to see him in concert twice! The first was Purple Rain.
I am enjoying your blog very much, thanks to Ms. Brunsli. You are very well travelled! Your Locks Around the World Tour sounds fabulous!
