Robin Thicke and Prince

In a recent article in Socialite Life Robin Thicke was asked how he feels about the comparisons he gets with JT and Prince. He addresses the JT comparisons by saying they couldn't be further from the truth and how he thinks its only because he's white. However, he never addresses his comparison to Prince...I feel like he has taken some of Prince's advice about music as a young artist and has a passion for his music..Just curious how this forum feels about the comparison....

Thicke is really a talented dude. I'v became Thicke-d lately

My mother looooves robin thicke...I like the song with little Wayne that he has on the CD...along with wanna love you girl

Comparisons are always going to happen when someone new comes out that has something different to offer. But i feel like you really have to wait and see what an artist does 5-6 albums into their career to see who they are for real. Prince was compared to Jimi from day one, but he clearly sounds and plays nothing like jimi at all. So Robin may have the Falsetto going but thats where it ends right now as far as them being similar

Sorry,there's no 1 else like Prince!

what the hell how do u compare prince 2 white trash bag that sings through his nose trying 2 achieve blk sound give me a break there is no comparsion and justin that little miss sunshine dont know wheter he wanna b micharl or prince just goes 2 show how talentless he is justin so overrated until it stinks he walks round like he reallly got some kind of talent other than copying established talent. my advice 2 bothe white boys is find your innerself and stop copying damn

I've noticed that anyone who comes in the game now and pluck a tune on a guitar or crashes away at some piano keys mindlessly is all of a sudden compared to Prince. Whatever.

Do you remember Tamar's show at Mansion nightclub in Miami, Prince? I re-live it every night, day and waking second. Somewhere here I am on Earth.

Oh please.

Sorry, Robin, I like you and all, but your voice sounds like Justin Timberlake's. Or his sounds like yours if you prefer.

I also think Robin actually has real talent and I am excited to see someone so independently successful. I just hope he stay true to himself and he'll be around a long time...I also think he needs to break from his current label. They have not don a good job of managing him. He should have been platinum by now...

he sounds just like Justin with with a better voice, but he loves him some Justin and and I can hear the Prince influence

I've only heard "Lost Without U" so far (I may download the album later), but judging from that song alone, Thicke seems like a far superior vocalist to Timberlake. I think his voice is gorgeous.

I'm getting this CD soon. I love Lost Without U and Wanna Love U Girl. Robin is the real deal as SoulAlive so eloquently stated.

I wish "Would That Make U Love Me" were the next single. I know Prince comparisons are natural around here, but that song sounds like Marvin wrote and/or produced it.
