The guy in Vegas imitates him REAL well (I mean speech wise and move wise and essentially looks like him) and puts on a fun show. Is he drunk? Hmmm! I like him  | |

We're both friends with someone else who used to do "prince" shows...
JediMaster said: I used to work a part-time gig doing different celeb impressions, and Prince was one of my "characters". Of course, I will NEVER publish any photos of myself in costume on this site, since everyone is bashing these guys with a venom that just seems unmerited. Sure, a couple look horrible, but I think one or two actually look pretty good. Their acts may actually be decent, you never know. Of course, I've seen a lot of "oh no! It is wrong since there is no way they can be as good as the real deal". Well, of COURSE they won't be as good as Prince, and I would imagine that every one of them would agree. They are just trying to entertain people. How is that the crime that some are making it out to be?
Why do people impersonate celebs? Well, for me, it was just a fun way to make a buck while paying homage to people I dig. I also enjoyed the fact that people would be so shocked when they saw what I really look like out of costume. Still, I guess people around here think it is heretical or something. News flash folks: Prince isn't a god, so it really isn't a sin for people to do a tribute show to him. I seriously doubt any of these guys are trying to live their lives as Prince, or have any delusions that they are going to make it big as a Prince impersonator. More than likely, they are just trying to have a good time. Speaking for myself I will say that there isn't any sort of identity confusion, or issues with who I am. This isn't some sort of pathology, and I don't hang out in Prince drag bars. I'm not trying to claim that I'm anywhere near as good as Prince in my performance (or any of the other celebs I do). It's all in fun. [Edited 12/5/05 7:42am] My art book: http://www.lulu.com/spotl...ecomicskid

 ...and he's quite good! In fact, he and I used to send each other business! Whenever he was offered a gig he couldn't do, he'd send them my way and vice-versa! Honestly, I think he was truly incredible (and if you ever go out with him to a karaoke bar, he's still got it! Even without the get-up he turns it out!)

Agree totally, the Vegas guy does a great job... I will say I agree again. I thought the Vegas guy had a great voice and alot of talent. The music sounded great and he was great at dancing and doing all the prince moves. -Dean is the cheese to my macaroni- | |

RaspberryWoman said: prettymansson said: no he does not. YES he does..He was so good at being Prince on stage and in person talking to him after the show that it freaked me out a little. It made me wonder if the guy can turn it off. No he can't!!!! He's a straight up dick. Don't even bother wasting your time seeing this loser. He was good at one time but that time has passed. Save your time and effort. | |

Prince is GOD,  so it blasphime(sp) to impersonate him or try to sing like him... Like i said before the Vegas guy was great and i enjoyed him. | |
