Things you wish musicians did again so you can reap personal benefits

Mary J. Blidge -

You know it's true. You want Mary J. to hit that pipe one more time to hear that pain inside her voice that Keyshia Cole does so poorly. I am not saying that I would love her more if she did hit that pipe one more time or let KC from Jodeci smack her in the lip with a fountain point pen for the sake of my musical pleasure. However, I think there is something to be said for "Painful, My Life, Share My World Mary" that doesn't resonate with "Love Yourself, Jump Up Get On it, Buy Yo Self a Chrysler Today Mary" that makes me just wish for a minor yet triumphant return slip up that would once again make the Mary J. lover in us all rejoice.

Prince -

"Jehovah's Witness Prince" just doesn't do it for me. Remember when he was wearing butt out jeans and painting beards on his face (ex. Graffiti Bridge)? Considering that I play For You, Sign of the Times, and Parade more that 3121, Planet Earth, and Musicology I just want to see Prince really dive deep into his essence of women stealing (Rick James's Vanity), gender bending and suggestive lyric writing for last time.
