From what I've read, he has been dodging this question, as anything that he said about them would probably be taken out of contxt. I can't say that I blame him for this.

Don't punch me y'all.

I think Prince feels that his music and his style is superior to the aforemention artists. I can't speak for Prince because I don't persoanlly know him, but I kind of get that vibe from him.




















And I love it. (A dobule A double Arrogance) woot!

I have heard Prince say that he has great respect for Michael and Madonna both. Prince has enough class not to bad mouth any other artists at least publicly. Prince is REALLY a classy human being. nod

You're not wrong, just got a few facts mixed up. It was VH1, the special where prince hijacks the station. I remember they played The Good Life and Count The Days (which at the time, and even now, think are somewhat weak songs).

The Madonna song that they dissed was either Take A Bow or You'll See, from her "Something To Remember" CD. It was a long time ago!

Thanks! I always felt he was a little arrogant, even when I was a kid. Liked his "I don't give a fuck" attitude. Still do.

come now, Prince's ego overrules his class
he's often compared his talent to mijac's
concluding: no comparison

? Is that where he chases Mayte or she chases him? It's some sort of movie? If you mean that, I actually thought the rolling with his eyes at that Madonna clip was a joke, it was meant funny and it was funny. Or are you both talking about something else hmmm

Off the top of my head: # Beware, the actual quotations are better than the paraphrases
-----
"What did they call Michael's album BAD ?"

Prince: 'cuz 'Pathetic' wouldn't fit on the album cover...

"What do you think of Michael Jackson?"

Prince: "Genius"

"What do you think of Janet Jackson?"

Prince: "Sister of a Genius"

"Morris Day is my inspiration on the drums."

"Renato has a whole other level of understanding of harmony [than I do]".

"Ain't nobody sing like Mavis..." (Mavis Staples)

Come on, people! I'm sure there are tons more... smile
batman guitar

Some people tell me I've got great legs...
