  5. Miss Fortune Says:

    Hmmm…Bria isn’t just a good singer, she’s a great photographer aswell. This photo really got expression to it. It makes me feel proud to be a woman, cause we truely knows how to nail it;)

  6. Miss Fortune Says:

    …But as being a european, I think of americans as being to much “plastic fantastic” most of the time;)

  7. Miss Fortune Says:

    My other reply disappeared. Where I said; Bria isn’t just a good singer, she also knows how to nail a photo and get some expression to it. This makes me truely proud to be a woman;)

    I see all your replies. Give it time. It might be lost in the “matrix” n thank you for your patience.

  9. letitbeat Says:

    awsome photo

  10. Bohemian Says:

    Great photo, Bria definitely has a good eye! Love the jacket he’s wearing.
    Thanks Doc for all the timely updates. ps Ms Fortune, I hear you. We have a different outlook here in EU. :)

  11. Digital Creator Says:

    I’ve heard Maxwell sing some Al Green live but, if my main man Prince ever plays some Al that would be the ish.

  12. carlotta Says:

    Nice photo, thanks for sharing it. Although, from a photography viewpoint, watch out for those reflections, it distracts the eye.

    But Prince is cool as ever!

  13. kenni Says:

    Thx doc. Bria has xcellent photography skills. She is better than a “good” singer imo she is definitely bordering on xcellent (beautiful voice). Did you happen to listen to Immersion?
    Prince u look gr8t…were u groovin to “love and happiness”?

  14. Esther Says:

    Nice picture, even if it’s staged – by the man himself I guess- in all its details, from the slightly bowed head to the Al Green disc so prominently in focus even if it’s not supposed to look that way. You don’t fool a director.
    By the way, why don’t we see Bria perform live? Lately I’m playing the Elixer album constantly during work.
    Enough with the woman being just arm candy and camera button pusher, upgrade Bria to the spotlights, behind the mike! You don’t have to be a Kept Woman, girl.

  15. justmemuchlove Says:

    Ahum.. So anyway..
    Look.. just look at my beautiful..beautiful.. angel…oy..

  21. Yacamaindian Says:

    A photographer will say this is photo-realism, because of detail; along with convolusion, the display is brilliant. And too, “train” means “trick”, that you understand 06 being displayed, as really “7″, because zero to six is seven.
    Because Mr. Nelson is a musician, the “mouth” on the train is relative to “chin music”, “mouth” meaning chin or “idle talk” generally taking place on trains, and elevators.
    Also, the artisan chose 12:15 to show there are two sevens there: 06 on the train window, and a 7 is upside down above the Roman numeral XII. The upside down 7 is specifically over the II in XII, that we may see two of them in reality.
    The bottom of the long hand of the watch is pointing to 6 and III, that 9 is seen, because the 6 on the train could be transversed to mean 9. And there is a pot beside the watch, that ye see the train as a domestic vessel as a pot is: a rounded metal or earthen vessel. Mr. Nelson is inside of an enclosed framework, which too, pot means.
    His thumb-index on the disc means to facilitate reference, as a signal to us to examine each facet of this message.
    Mr. Nelson is born on a 7; therefore this is a relevant and a historical photo; possibly for His children to see?
    Personal truth I see on the photo, I am sure Mr. Nelson has assessed, which I think is beautiful too. Remiss is felt, because all of Him and detail isn’t shown.

    Have a blessed day Mr. Nelson

    I should steer clear of the basement tho – Vermicous Knid ! :)

    hmmmm very nice pic

  24. TylerAnthony Says:

    He should have had a cd of Dirty Mind or the Black Album in his hand and it would have really stirred the atmospher

  25. Annastesia Says:

    VERY NICE

  26. justmemuchlove Says:

    ^^^I don’t see how. TylerAnthony I really don’t!

  27. kenni Says:

    Yacamaindian your comment allowed me to take a deeper look at all that was surrounding Prince. Is that the city of Minne. I c beneath the pot…directly in back of Prince.

  28. Yacamaindian Says:

    Hi Kenni:

    I, like you, wish that I could see more. Unfortunately, I can not see because His (Mr. Nelson’s) impression is too close.

    Maybe, the artisan has depicted Minneapolis in a Parisian photo?

    Thanks for enjoying this as much as I, Kenni.

    Very nice!

  33. Still Waiting in ATL Says:

    Prince is absolutely beautiful!!! Wish I was in Minnie!

  34. Twinkly1 Says:

    Very nice photo; abstract and concrete. Ain’t nobody like the Reverand Al Green. I’m pretty sure that’s a greatest hits CD, one of his best; Its all about love4oneanother.

  35. SingMia Says:

    Life is too expensive to the father to not adore his every move toward you in love. For if you miss the train, the conductor might not know your name later.
    A split moment to the eye is an eternity on the akashic train forever…and that includes elevators.
    Love is the only way, fact and no alternate route comes.
    Take care…
    SingMia

  36. SingMia Says:

    Al Green…
    “Tired of Being Alone”… you can say that again brother, you aren’t the only one, feeling it! I’m so tired, my bones are chasing me! I am tired too.

    GodBless and Take care,
    SingMia

  37. justmemuchlove Says:

    Thank you SingMia.

  38. kenni Says:

    Yacamaindian, I’ve taken once again another look. I knew from the onset it was a Paris photo/art…. forgive me…what was I thinking? I’m overtaken by The Last Purple Jam for 2009 @Paisley Park/Minne…just wanna party like it’s 1999!

    p.s Yaca…:) I look fwd to reading more comments from you. I like you too.

    Great caption! Great pic! Thanks for sharing.

    2 cool this dude is

  41. Les BEATs Says:

    Rocky Raccoon checked into his room
    Only to find Gideon’s bible
    Rocky had come equipped with a gun
    To shoot off the legs of his rival
    His rival it seems had broken his dreams
    By stealing the girl of his fancy.
    Her name was Magil and she called herself Lil
    But everyone knew her as Nancy.
    Now she and her man who called himself Dan
    Were in the next room at the hoedown
    Rocky burst in and grinning a grin
    He said Danny boy this is a showdown
    But Daniel was hot-he drew first and shot
    And Rocky collapsed in the corner.

  42. Truth Says:

    Yikes, he looks like a plastic doll. PUT THE PHOTO SHOP DOWN! Back away, slowly, fantasy is only good in a low lit room. He looks like he’s in a wax museum!

  43. lovesigner Says:

    Say what you will, Truth, he’s GORGEOUS! Don’t hate…I know it’s hard to imagine that he could look THIS good!

  44. Funkteer Says:

    I would love to hear Prince do a funky version of “I’m so Tired of Being Alone.”

  45. ertccty Says:

    Makes me wanna tickle him to get a smile.Perfect tunes to get nice and close for a slow dance. ;) Thanks for sharing

  46. Chocolate_Box Says:

    Prince is very photogenic

  47. Jennettel Says:

    FAIL!!!

  48. Jennettel Says:

    love Prince…love Al…just dont think this is the best picture…how much taller is she????

  49. Lol Says:

    Yaca baby… We all know Prince is cryptic and sometimes has secret messages but how bout u put down that pipe and relax. It is JUST what it appears to be, a photo on an elevator with a cool wallpaper… Jeeez some of you guys are nuts!!!

  50. Truth Says:

    @Lovesigner. Prince is pretty but he is not a woman. That picture makes him look like a girly wax doll. Over Adobe if you know what I mean. He is 51 after all. A little age is okay. George Clooney prime example. “Let a man be a man.”

  51. Twinkly1 Says:

    Absolutely funk-tastic show! Prince is beyond our mere world. Thank you, Prince. And, btw to all the nay-ers; he looks amazing.

  52. Lisa as LRE Says:

    I’m still like, “What the ….!” and shaking my head at Yacamaindian’s comment.

  53. Irene Says:

    Interesting & aesthetic composition. Even though I personnaly don’t get the symbols, seems like there is a purpose. Sorry Yaca, but didn’t get the conclusion of your analysis. If every detail is relevant (like the 7), then what is the final message?
    Harmony in colors, pose, i guess even the music that we don’t hear was chosen to create the right atmosphere… all the details are carefully arranged.
    but WHERE is Prince? i mean, the man, not the legendary icone?
    Miss his look…

  55. Yacamaindian Says:

    To Lol:

    I wish could oblige someone of your sort, to say I use mood changing smokes; however, I am unable to assist you with that thought. And, as far as there being cryptic messages…what is apparent is never a secret. Study, that you don’t appear a fool.

    And, if you are truly knowledgeable; especially of me, “full-grown lady” would bop your brain and you’d address me as such.

    I will end this here with you “laughable”, because I love Mr. Nelson and respect this space as “His”; No place for you to grow up.

    Be bless Lol…I love you

    Hi Kenni, and everyone on here for Mr. Nelson.

    Yacamaindian

  56. Lol Says:

    Yaca,

    I’m sorry you are so sensitive, and got hurt feelings over my comment, but you need to get over yourself and then find a sense of humor.

    U try too hard.

    There’s a time to analyze and a time to RELAX! Learn the difference.

    I’m sure you think we are all going to die in 2012 too right? Lol.

    Toodles

  57. Yacamaindian Says:

    Lol:

    Take a lesson from yourself and relax. Forget about how important I am to you. Focus on Mr. Nelson. I am a writer. Just, think about that.

    “I am a writer” viewing a musician: making record of Him from a historical and environmental viewpoint.

    If I wanted to be prophetic, I would have written concerning what “time” means for humanity as it relates to Him. However, I have shown “similitude” in this one-note.

    While others enjoy commenting on His clothes and hair, I, his surroundings; etc. Superficial or apparent things, do not occupy my thinking with regards to Mr. Nelson…I seek to find more of Him.

    Life is beautiful and designed to show and inform all of us about love and presence.

    When I see Mr. Nelson’s recorded performances, enjoyment at discerning what is occuring is as equally fulfilling as listening to His music. I am born of a musical family and can totally relate, and I am 7th child of a 7th child of a 7th child; not prophetic, but just historical.

    His music for me is a total experience, which is very heavy and deep: but, loving and beautiful at the same time.

    Lol, why be sorry if I am sensitive, when sensitivity is the only way to enjoy His offerings? Do you not understand what this term means?

    Empiricism would limit my sensitivity at enjoying everything about Mr. Nelson: something you propound.

    I didn’t come on here to offend anyone, simply to enjoy Mr. Nelson in a way I like to, while extending and enjoying the thoughts of others.

    Again, I say, be bless

    I love you

    Love it

  59. Lol Says:

    Yaca baby

    You don’t have a lot of friends, do you?

    I’m a Psychology major, just, “think about that”. :)

    I see you are the type to need the last reply, go for it, I only counsel crazy people, not try to convince them that they are.

    Toodles

  60. Yacamaindiam Says:

    I love you Lol.

    You need love.

    I will give you all you deserve and more.

    Let’s chill.
    Yaca…I must admit u r coooool. Peace B Wild!

  62. Yacamaindian Says:

    Thank you Kenni:

    I think you are cool too.

    And, I thank Mr. Nelson for allowing us to glimpse the photo, and to express our views.

    “Peace 2 U”(Prince).

  63. CfromtheD Says:

    Prince looks Fine and those lips! The man is ageless.

    Thanks for posting the pic and special thanks to talented photographer…

  64. Reveston Says:

    Prince looks super slick. Admirable because he’s getting some kick-butt style back into his look.

    I remember the days of that geeky, dweeby, parted hair in the middle, uptight preacher like stuffy drab mojo-less suits of 2002 through 3121.

    Bringing back a touch of that magic! He’s got that Act I/II thing going on again with silks and glimmer!

    As for any health problems, essentially I (because I cant speak for others) really just want good health for Prince just like I would for an old friend. Its be great to know he takes care of the internal stuff as much as he does the external.

  65. ertccty Says:

    I just wanted to say that I can respect and appreciate everyone’s opinions.I however do not appreciate the useless negativity! Have some respect for each other & this space!PERIOD!

  66. MonEoriginal Says:

    *phew* a lot a analyzing and scrutinizing of a simply great pic. No more, no less. Keep them coming, Miss Bria….

  68. Annajp Says:

    Looks like what he was wearing @ PP Saturday nite!!

  69. CherylZ Says:

    Almost as much as I love his music, I love looking at this beautiful man. He is music. He is art.

  70. LadyFingers607 Says:

    Yummy… He wore that outfit @ Saturday nite’s Paisley Park jam. He looked good enough to eat, and his widdle feet were flashing red lights in the dark. He’s just amazing.

  71. AgaSilva Says:

    I’m overwhelmed by some responses posted here. :D

  72. Lorrie Says:

    I love you Prince. I just love what your wearing. Can I play with your stringy thingys? lol Seriously, keep the love coming, U know what I mean. God bless you, my beautiful Prince. kisses kissing kisses!!! yum!!!

  73. Lorrie Says:

    Hey, Prince just sending some more love. I’m digging the Al Green CD and can’t wait 2 see u. Also, that store will probably open Summer 2010.
    Take care and God Bless

  74. buttoutpants Says:
