Would that be

Better?

Worst?

Interesting?

Some songs would be in a different key. Or not exist at all.

Worst of course, even if sometimes his falsetto bores me, I think it's the trademark of Prince style, when you think Prince, you think falsetto...

yupe and the screaming.. lol

there are some songs I really wish were not in a falsetto.

ONe of my favorite uses was for "High"

Would Prince be more popular without his falsetto/sreaming???

I mean some people don't like him because of his singing style!

Certain songs like Jam of the Year and Get Yo Groove on namely,sound better and more alive in his normal register.

I think if he sang LaLaLa Mean I Love U in his normal register, it would be 100 times sexier.

No fallsetto is Prince! I don't even wanna think about him never graceing us with his sexy fallsetto voice. It is my favorite Prince singing style.

I never liked the falsetto much, only on a few songs. I like his real voice.

I think his falsetto voice suites him perfect... Nobody can't really do it as good as him. Except maybe D'Angelo. I think it's cool.

you forgot philip bailey and al green.
those guys have much better falseto then prince

I think the BeeGees win this one though

falsetto or no, the cat'd still be able to sing.

Listen to the original demo of Prince's kiss sang in a lazy bluesy style then thank god he knows when to use his falsetto to make a potentially average song sound really really great !

....I probably would never have become a fan. My first moment of awe with Prince was Betcha By Golly Wow video, and his voice mesmerized me (and of course his eyes).
When I started to get into him I found out some radio favourites like LRC, LGC, Purple Rain, TMBGITW and Kiss were his. And I was like "Man, he sings with two different voices!" I hadn't known Kiss and Little Red Corvette were by the same person...
-S-

When he's in form it sounds great. Sometimes it's very ropey though. Check out Family Name on the Vegas DVD and you'll notice his falsetto sounds strained and crackly and he changes to his normal register.

Al Green has a great falsetto, though I read recently that he spent hours and hours piecing together the vocal tracks for some songs.

The falsetto was one of the things that hooked me to him. I liked it better when that's all he sang in.

I'll answer that with a better question:

If Prince's vocals were deep like Barry White, would it work?

i think its cool when Prince plays around with his voice on different records..

so its better he sings in Falsetto, but not all the time.. because i like the change..
