Back in the day Prince really used 2 get down on the floor and dance. Splits, more fancy foot work, hand movements ect.I dont that bein' a JW is keepin' him from doin' those things. Except the fact that he's getin' kinda old and it might put some sort of presure on his limbs and what not.But I dout it,He's Prince and really needs 2 start getin' down again.

Too old

This thread made me smile because without looking at your profile I'm guessing you're under 30

Prince is amazing for his age but after a while, it does catch up on you.

Ditto. The dude is 47. At some point your body just ain't up to it. Just think about how hard he was on it peforming night after night. He's just chilling now. I'm sure he's feet and knees are a mess. People have mused about this on the org many times.

why doesn't rod stewart wear hot pants anymore?

why doesn't david bowie have platform moonboots and silver lipstick anymore?

why doesn't madonna show her ta-tas anymore?

i think p can still dance like he use to but he doesnt want to. Hes only 47 not 97! p is stil very fit and lives a very clean life and i know he has no problem moving his little cute body. i think he justs wants to concretrate on getting his music out. Plus u got to remember hes a JW now and most of the dances back then where quite erotic moves so hes trying to break away from that. if p was to ever stop being a JW i'll bet u'll be seeing him breakout dances like a M F! look at james brown? p needs the funk back in his little booty!

he wasn't shy with the dancing on his last tour, but it wasn't the dancing of the 1999 or purple rain tours. it's just a simple truth - no matter how athletic or healthy you are, there are things that you can't do once you hit your 40s that you could do in your 20s. it's not the end of the world. and also, even if he COULD still dance like that, it might not be something we'd wanna see (example: mick jagger ).

mick jagger is cute!!!!(omg did i really say that!)

catpark said:

he's all yours!

:omfg:please please dont im in stitches here! he looks like shit! im confused with time . my brain still has images of him back in da day(60s)

check out the leather jacket!sexy, not!

catpark said:

ok, i'll give ya that - he was a hottie back in the day.

heck, KEITH was a hottie back in the day.

The reason i think o+> doesn't dance as good as he used to anymore is because he is saving all that energy for his wife he probably gettin down with that now
even if he is a jehovah's witness not even the funkmaster can resist sex especially with all those albums he has at his house about sex.

a very big WAS! but he still cool though. so is m jagger sort of in a respectable sort of way! god a, u've really put me off him now

catpark said:

there's always THIS sexy old geezer...

All we need now is a Dancing in the Street pic

lilgish said:

oh no.

though david's little jumpsuit in that video was awfully fetching for 1985, you must admit.

david bowie is the main man! hey, hes the same age as my mum and he still kick ass! d was sooooo cool back in day so anything he does now doesnt matter. whatever he does his cool. well he bagged himself a supermodel. i would f him still. hes cooler than mick jagger and especially keith!

he was kick it in da late 60s, 70s, 80s, nuff respect! hes a little crusty now though!

JW's aren't allowed to dance. It's sacrificial. I knew a JW once and he never danced.

NoodleSoup said:

sacrificial? like they have to kill a goat?

that could be true about the JWs. but what i dont understand is how come da jacksons clan, who have been JWs all their life, where jigging their bodies for years to 'pop' music?

catpark said:

it's ok as long as you make a song about the Jehovah Faith, like the Jackson 5 had the song "Looking Through The Window".



Looking through the window, looking through the window

yea, i bet mj has been look through alot of windows he shouldnt be looking at!

catpark said:

completly missing the JW reference.

i was only joking

Prince is old, sexy, but old.

I enjoyed his dancing on the Musicology tour, but he danced so much sexier on the Jam of the Year tour.

fortunately Prince can do a lot more than just dance, unlike Michael Jackson, all he can do is sing and dance, and he cannot dance anywhere near the way he used to, night after night.

Prince hurt his knee and ankle back during those New power Soul gigs. I think he tripped over a misplaced monitor. He mentioned that on the 1st Tavis Smiley interview(the 1 with Larry&Chaka)! Thats y he cancled the LA gig that year. I think it was 98? That's y he ain't jumpin off the Piano and doin the splits anymore. And it also kinda seperates him from his past a little. The new Prince don't do that anymore type of vibe!
