He's not my favorite but I will say what he did made me think of Prince the entire time. And I thought he did it well. He's 17 years old, cut him some slack! It was interesting that steven and randy seemed to think so too.

When the kid grows a little and gains confidence, watch out.

Calm yo' tits, man...

These lame ass comparisons are done all the time and they're never warrented. We can't help if people speak out of their ass.

People can talk, but we know the truth.

Really? I like him and think he's quite talented. He's oneof my faves on the show. I'm hoping he wins if not Colton Dixon. By the way, I call DeAndre Milli Vanilli. lol

My favs so far are Jessica, Colton and Phil. The rest can all go away to me. I just hope I don't have to hear Deandre or Elise very much longer. ....especially Elise. I can't stand her voice.

I will agree with you about 1 thing.. Yes, he Does "remind" me of Prince with his fallsetto.. and if they would of said something like THAT.. that would of been cool..

but to say "you can give Prince a run for his money"

Not quite......

Yeah sure MAYBE in 5 or so years.. but don't say that now.....

Its like that guy from that other singing show... they all were like "oh your like Prince" he went no where....................

There was one noise that he made last night that I thought sounded Prince-like. And at times his falsetto can be pretty, but he doesn't hit his notes very consistently.

I'm a Phil fan this year.

I haven't been following American Idol. However, I did watch X Factor with that contestant that they kept calling Prince-like on there. I forgot his name. These talent competitions need to stop throwing the name of legends around so casually.

DeAndre is cool...love his voice, and it should be ripened in a few years.

My favorite is Jessica Sanchez...that girl can SANG!

Also, Joshua reminds me of Terence Trent D'Arby live....I'm surprised they haven't compared those two, very similar voices....gruff n stuff.

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.

lol U right...I sometimes forget that this "Prince world" that is the Org does not translate to the "real world" all of the time....TTD and DeAngelo are pretty front and center here, but are almost forgotten by the public.

Reminds me of when I showed my mom Sanjaya and she made a Prince comparison too, and I was not impressed.

spit

yeah i heard that shit about prince too and i just rolled my eyes

the show is such a contridiction when the one girl sang a carrie underwood and randy goes "u should have picked a different song cause when u started 2 sing it made me compare u 2 carrie." STUPID ASSES every time somone sings a song u gonna compare it 2 the original song DUH

and speaking of originals ..it's time that these fools on idol remember who originally did shit! cause without you was NOT done by mariah carey first. it was done by bad finger!

second time this season they have credited the remaker instead of the original singer ..previous one was saying gloria estefan did turn the beat around 1st instead of vicki sue robinson

man, he has such an amazing body of music that it's sad to see him constrict it down to the basics. he's too talented for the lineup he's doing. estelle 81

Ooooo....I like. Only 17? Wow. He could be a star in a few years.

I agree that they went overboard with that Prince comparison..."a run for his money"? What?

This guy sings way better than Prince, and almost all other male R&B singers out now. Benet himself even acknowledged how DeAndre stole and totally owned that song. And yet, he's already not receiving any respect from the masses. confused And of course, he will not win this idiotic show either, 'cause every person voting is blind and tone-deaf. disbelief
