Prince is apparently not going to make an appearance on “American Idol”…though, apparently, folks at his label tried to get him to appear on the show in order to continue the promotional machine for his latest disc, 3121. The show’s producer, Nigel Lythgoe, sneered, “He did not want to talk with the kids and did not have the time.”
Get real, guy. Are you really surprised…? This is Prince. This is a guy who’s recorded albums and filmed videos and, instead of releasing them, let alone turning them in to his label, he just puts them in a vault. He does what he wants to do, when he wants to do it…like when he did “Muppets Tonight.” If he did “American Idol,” it’d be because it amused him…not because his label thought it was a good idea.
