I think Jacko has aged better.

He is aging as we all are..

I like his mature look, and his spirituality.

I saw a video of his Dick Clark performance in 1980, and he was like 19 or 20..he sure has evolved into a great maestro.

Aging is a part of life. When I first started to like Prince I looked way younger too. I look at the cat in the mirror today I sometimes say, "man, you looking older daddy pop!" All musicians get older in front of the public eye. I just think it silly to go under the knife for fear people will actually see you aging. It's crazy! Man, I seen Burt Reynolds recently and he looks like someone actually stretched his face and pulled it back just to keep his skin from sagging. I'm like, you would've looked way better by just aging gracefully. Now he looks surreal and odd. What happened to the days where people viewed grey hair as a sign of wisdom and maturity?

Ur joking right?
I'm gonna get my facelifts every damned chance I get. My face is gonna be so stretched my ears are gonna touch.

It´s the hair, folks, just the hair...watch that Aladdin DVD and you´ll see what I mean. That short, straightened hair makes him look old. His hair is still thick and nice, but that split in the middle, like Bart Simpson when he goes to church, makes his hair look thinner. I´ve always liked the more natural hairdos he was sportin in the past or the minifro from musicology.
Give the brother three weeks in the gym and a more natural, curly hairdo and he looks like 27 again.
Seriously, he´s aging so gracefully that I don´t even want to call it "aging".
He´s looking scarily good.
I mean, if he decided to look like he did in Purple Rain or Sign of the Times again he could easily do so, just as a joke for a day or something. All it takes is jheri curls and that purple trenchcoat...put on the white cloud, and there you go
He does make some weird decisions sometimes, musically and visually , but he´s still great.

I think everyone has their favorite Prince incarnation.It seems nothing will ever live up to that standard. My favorite Prince is Purple Rain Prince and then closely Graffiti Bridge Prince it is easy to miss the old Prince but I just am grateful that he is still here on earth and that I have the opportunity to hear his music.

i love him even if he was in a wheelchair...couldnt sing walk or talk...he helped raise me...and BTW he looks DAMN GOOD 4 any age...!!!!!

.
Moreover, is his graceful aging in any way shape or form, an indication of laten homosexual tendancies?

I regret not being born sooner. I missed all the classic stuff that his newer work will always be compared to. I can buy the albums, and watch stuff on TV, but I'm sure it's nowhere near the same as if I'd actually been there.


I missed it.

I've always thought that too.

Guilt (misplaced as, IMO, it is) *AND* the loss of his child.

I certainly miss the Prince of old.... I miss those crazed-eye looks, the obscene face gestures, I can't even bear to talk about the molestation of the microphone and himself while on stage. I was looking at an old video, are we ever gonna see Prince laying on the floor on stage???? Gosh I MISS THAT TOO!

As far as homosexual tendencies... no not at all I don't see it. I just watched an old interview with Chris Rock, and Prince stated what I have always suspected that the homosexual overtures were an act to shock and keep your attention on him.
I like that he is acting more like a accomplished musician with a legacy to leave behind during interviews and such.. (the chain mask era was just plain ludicrous) . I just want to see the outrageous on stage again.

Yes... he uses the juices of young boys to stay youthful.

He is aging as we all are..

I know at least half of you are going give me the fam cliche' answers :"It's just a phase of his life" or "he's evolving" or "he's in terrific shape for his age", but the fact of the matter is that Prince has obviously aged a good deal physically in the last 4 years or so. He's definately not old yet--but the day is coming.

Yes, he's still a stunning performer, and yes--he's at the top of his game for his craft. But am I the only one who feels some regrets that the feisty, nasty, fiery young Prince is past us? I do very much respect and appreciate him for what's he's given me over the years, but I very much miss the Prince of old.
