Who could have thought Lenny would outcool Prince

Was a semi Lenny fan early on but eventually found him annoying and always didn't like that he was mega obsessed with Princes cool from the Dirty mind period to the point of stalker territory. But after seeing him be ultra bad ass on the SB next to Prince appearing on GG wearing metallic oversized pijamas with the hair of a homeless lower east side bag lady i have to dismay and admit that Lenny won out in the cool contest.Sigh.

nobody outcools prince.

Thanks for the laughs, arguments and overall enjoyment for the last umpteen years. It's time for me to retire from Prince.org and engage in the real world...lol. Above all, I appreciated the talent Prince. You were one of a kind.

Next to Katy Perry's plastic pop princess persona, pretty much everyone looks cooler than they really are.

Unfortunately, that still wasn't enough to make Lenny cooler than Prince, sorry.

I love Lenny but his guitar wasn't even plugged in.

Nothing deep or profound about cool factor. If anything it is the definition of shallow. Lenny won this round.

Nobody wins playing with the likes of Perry.....unless it is a comedy routine.

You always win when you look terrific. And next to a pop cliche you look even better.

Lenny was there to sing the chorus of another person's pop song.. I liked seeing him in the limelight again given that I used to be a big fan, but damn, even Missy got to do more than one of her songs in Katy's set. This also weakens any opportunity he'll have of performing there himself for a long time to come. Maybe he'll never be big enough as a music artist again to do a show of that size.

Change it one more time..

Lenny Kravitz looked like a Black version of Bon Jovi. A man that has been maligned for being too retro and wearing his influences on his sleeve, didn't even get to sing one of his own songs. When you are part of a halftime show where the headliner is a pop starlet who wasn't even born when your first album came out, you can't outcool Prince.

Dude, if you think anything about that performance was cool, then you got issues. Lenny was there and gone in the blink of eye... after lip/guitar faking. He should be ashamed of that sell out move.

Lenny Kravitz lacks originality.He tries hard to play that "rock star role" but all it seems so contrived.His music bores me.

You guys need a reading 101 class. Did I mention anything about a performance. I'm strictly talking looks. It's the rock world people. Looks are supreme. Prince has looked rediculous lately. Beyond so.

If Prince wore a teletubbies outfit and wobbled back and forth across stage, he would still be cooler than Lenny's retro styled clothes and retro music could ever be.

In vibe yes. No one can outdo P in cool energy. But looking like a fuzzy 80s microphone wearing rocky horror picture garb even he can't make hip. He needs to go back to being a wonder not a what the hell.

smile Really? You thought Lenny's "here and gone" lip syncing of a Katie Perry chorus was "cooler" than Prince's Superbowl performance? Okay. Don't hurt anybody.

He looks dirtier than Prince. He looks raggedier than Prince. I never think holes/wear and tear in clothes is cool.
What?

When is the last time P did his iggy pop shirtless deal.He can't pull it off anymore. Lenny couldn't touch Princes worst days in performing. I still watch Ps Super Bowl performance Often. But Lenny is only 5 years younger.Hes aging a lot better and Prince needs his Musicology era stylist back big time.

His look lacks orignality, too. confused
Prince may wear some outlandish stuff, but he's not playing "cool rock guy #1"...

Lenny Kravitz and his big head never looked cool imo. He's not a charismatic artist like Prince

You can't be serious but maybe you are. They both are cool - Lenny is "grunge" cool and Prince is "fresh" cool. The difference is that Prince looks like he actually bathes. thumbs up!

Some points are very valid.Thats why I'm not a Lenny fan. He is a cliche to a large degree. But Prince needs to start caring more about what looks attractive and not just interesting. He looked like a Jim henson furry muppet on Arsenio. He looked like an S&M devotee on New girl and a tin man cowboy on the Globes. I've never seen so many consecutive appearances where he has looked so bad. Not to mention the Fallon and Kimmel shows from a while back where he looked like a LA John Derek frilly leather jacket douche.

lol he's almost 60 and there's nobody as cool as him. not even Morris Day. Remember the pimp stroll at the grammy's in 2013? nothing and i mean NOTHING can even top that. and he hasn't had a hit in years yet the respect and reaction he gets just from walkin in a room is untouched.
