CHAKA KHAN is up there with Patty Labelle and Aretha Franklin, I cant understand why her music is so unfelt now. I miss tha hell out of Chaka.

I liked Nothing Compares 2 U when Sinad O"Connor sung it.Poor Sinad.

I wouldn't think it's Prince's fault If you pair a new artist with a mega artist such as Prince, who is the public going to pay attention too? Take Tamar.
When he puts her on stage, the crowd is giving their attention to Prince, not Tamar.If she was on stage with someone like Rueben Studdard then she would be noticed more.

Yep, the mistake is theirs when they stood beside some1 as big as Prince, and when he is no longer there, tha bubble gum is no longer sweet, so they get tossed,... but I dont understand how that applied 2 some1 as big as Chaka Khan.Chaka Khan was bigger than Prince , mayb she should not had done his songs,she shoulda stuck with her own sound, which was unique in it's own rights.

She wasn't bigger than Prince

She WAS before Prince came out.....

Surely not as big as P during the Purple Rain era ?

She never achieved that level of super-stardom. Still, she'd had one hell of a career prior to covering Prince's song.

Her career was on it's way down and Prince's song definitely gave her career a needed jumpstart.

Exactly

Bigger as in fat.....

Prince is just so great that he overshadows everyone regardless as 2 whether they're talented or not.He can't help it!!He's the greatest!

I agree with ur assessment to an extent....cuz in popland, Sheena Easton was doin pretty good for herself until her walls got sugared...after that, she fell off like the proverbial ton o' bricks off the side of the Empire State Building...and has Ani DiFranco recovered from her association with P? Granted, she wasn't a "huge" star, but she was very well known before P....and her talents can't be argued against.....Prince is Prince, but he doesn't have a Midas touch for anyone but himself.....

Thanx 4 agreeing!

I feel bad for Ingrid Chavez.

Not me...

Yo bitch, I can make yo ass a star,

So many people fall for that line, off course u r not going to have a career when the public clearly see u have no talent. Proteges are good for mostly only satisfying their patrons egos. Sheila E and the Time actually got somewhere as they had talent.
Prince shouldnt be shot for hooking up with these talentless no hopers, but for discovering them in the first place.

U dont know Chaka Khan! Prince will b tha first to tell u he "grew-up" on Chaka Khan(I WILL LUV U ANYWAY, EVEN IF U CANNOT STAY, I THINK U R THA ONE 4 ME, HERE IS WHERE U OUGHT 2 B) Chaka Khan was tha sound that shaped tha eary 70"s darling, as in Rufus featuring Chaka Khan. She was bigger than Prince becoz there was no Prince. Hey, like i said, u dont even know Chaka Khan, but Prince knows her, I bet u that.!
