I wouldn't say that prince is a Great vocalist
but he's pretty danm good.
Now if this topic was abou being a great gitarist
I would say Hell Yeah!!!
Any person who can master more than 2 instruments
let alone over 2 dozen is special in my book.

Certainly has one of the most spectacular ranges out of any popular vocalist in recent years. I would say he is in the top five of all time, right along with Marvin, Al Green, Sam Cooke, and so on.

The greatest. Hearing him live just reinforces it. Fantastic, amazing range.

His voice has the ability to touch you like no other.

Great.

Hes blessed with a voice which is more of an aquired taste 2 me than chocolate.....and he can belt out perfect notes with more passion and emotion than Gyneth Paltrow accepting an oscar.

Nothang compares 2 Prince.

PRINCE is by far the most talented vocalist that i have ever heard, NOBODY and i mean NOBODY can get down like PRINCE...not vocally, not performance wise and definatly not lyrically! he is truly an ARTIST.

{{{{Great}}} Fantastic & has kickass depth! In a age where there are "ALOT" of "ok" singers or flat out yelling or frog voice talk/rap wanna-B singers....hes one that truly performs on the highest of vocal levels. The real deal...He can put on a super-pumped high energy show of leaps & splits from atop of the piano. With a twist an spin kick, bump-hump-grind 2 still hit a very hard high note~ Kids please don't try this at home!
Thats why most don't, & lip-fake there way through instead of trying 4 greatness! He's a natural born singer, not a put together project 2 trick people into thinking he can sing. I find myself watching his 2001 show on TV and when he gets 2 "Do Me Baby" & my fav on that show "Scandalous" damn.....I shake my head & say "he just tore it up" Thats what I'm talkin about....When U can do it LIVE in concert time & time again unfailing like Prince, U know U can sang!
Pretenders take note....Or like Morris said: Why don't U stay awhile & see how its done!

Yo nothing against TTD oh wait...Mr. Darby changed his name like someone else we know as well...anyways, having seen him live and having 2 live concerts of his i'll call it straight...the brothas worth seeing live but he is not I repeat not on Prince's level. *NO-WAY-SHAPE-OR-FORM* I do like him but his vocals are not even that re-fined 2 say he has better range...haha, I mean at the end of the day he shot himself in the foot proclaiming himself a genius & a all time great with only one record out at the time~(funny) A bit premature if U ask me. But he has some great lyrics very good songs, his first record was one of the best debuts i've heard from a new artist. But the brotha knows in his heart of hearts besides James Brown & Sly that he was on Prince's jock 2...I'm sorry but I see his live show and well....his splits are not really that smooth.
Hey if TTD is really worthy...he would B more of a force in music today. Lenny Kravitz came out close 2 that time as well. His first album got beat up & down by the critics. So TTD was much more the rave at that point and time selling millions of copys. Lead TTD....Well nows the time 4 that all 2 important second record. TTD's missed the target bigtime & sold bad. Now on the other hand Kravitz's second record got more respect from the critics & the fans started showin love....the rest is history~ Lenny rocks! But I still hear a small buzz in regards 2 TTD but as 4 as I can tell...a bee makes the same sound. If hes got something like U think "a great voice" then he should B making a come back anytime now...right?

Well all I have to say is, "Anytime you can go from Bass/Baritone voice to Soprano in one note, you're quite amazing,blessed, and extermely gifted."
The man is musically unlimited. I believe he can do anything with sound and noise.
