Just because most of Prince’s music, released within the last 10 years has rarely been heard on the radio does not mean it was/is not any good. It may not have charted well in the U.S. because Prince does not fit the format of crappy U.S. radio, but it has received great response in other countries around the world. Japan radio for example, played Prince’s “Last December” from his independently released 2002 album “The Rainbow Children”, and that single hit #1. If U.S. radio would give Prince’s more recent music a chance, most critics would eat their words. Just take a listen to what IS played on the radio these days — Britney Spears, Beyonce, Justin Timberlake, J’Lo. It is obvious that radio these days does not recognize true talent and real musicians. I challenge anyone to listen to and compare the albums that Prince has released from 1994 to 2003 to the chart topping crap that is released by today’s “artists” and try and tell me that they are better that what Prince had released within that time period… every single one of them was a solid release. Prince is, and always has been an experimental musician, never caring what anyone else thinks of his music, because at the end of the day he wants to be completely happy with what he has created, without any record company executive or critic telling him what he should create. It is this experimentation and free creativity that makes Prince an interesting, and true artist.

Anytime Prince is performing live, it will always be a must see performance. Since the beginning, Prince has built a reputation of being one of the most electrifying live performers of all time. After seeing the man live in concert 10 times, he gets better and better each time.
