Is that Dr. Pepper commercial clowning Prince?

I first heard it as I was working and not looking at the screen. It struck me as a white guy doing a Prince imitation. Then I saw it and I was certain that they were going for a funny Prince clone - the dude even had on the lace glove with no fingertips from the Purple Rain era.

Has this funny little thing been noticed?

That's not really a white guy. That's the American idol guy, Justin Guarini, who has a black father.
