Does Prince still do all his Mic-stand moves and the splits? People better know Usher probably got his from him

the splits, no.

I HATE USHER.....no offence to those that do. He is just the BIGGEST copycat there ever was. He has no moves of his own! it's either Micheal or Prince or James.....somone who revolutionized dancing and came up with a few tricks. but not Usher. he uses everyone else's shit. Anyway.....back to the topic. Priince doesn't do the splits anymore and he shouldn't try. He'll mess around and bust a nut. He's getting up there in age also, so he should know when to stop certain things. But the mic-stand moves, that's a DEFFENITE yes.

The mic stand still gets properly worked over at a Prince show.

On a side note-- someone had mentioned that Prince doesn't take his shirt off anymore. Last summer (at one of the 3 St.Paul/Mpls shows) Prince flubbed the words to "When Doves Cry" and made up for it by groaning sexually and unbuttoning his shirt so it barely clung to him.

The mic stands should always be there. Usher does seem to take a lot from everyone

DAMN SKIPPY.....it's not a lot.....it's more along the lines of EVERYTHING.....like I said.....no offence to those who like him.....he just sucks big ass to me.

In late 2002 Prince accidently did the splits onto his microphone stand, thus the end of an era...

Or he could have watched an old tape of James Brown. That's who Prince got them from.

but it's so weird, cuz i distinctly remember the first and last time i saw 'im do the splits: at my very first paisley party, the npgmc launch party 4 years ago.

It would have been cool to see that. He did that circular splits thingy on the Rave video, but those were only like half-splits. Our boy was rusty.

'Course, it's a helluva lot more splititude than I could ever do (without an ER visit).

"splititude"

i was taken aback from my testimonial cuz i just realized it's been four years since i first set foot in the park and it don't really feel like it's been that long ago.

Hell I was shocked he did them on the Rave that show. After messing up his leg falling down the steps during the NPS tour I thought he'd have the sense not to try doing splits anymore.
