Charlotte Church (Jonathan Ross recently asked her who she was into and she said, 'Prince')

Posh Spice (favourite song reported to be Diamonds & Pearls - wouldn't ya just know it!)

Brad Whitford

Daniel Johns (Silverchair) at one concert he wore an imitation suit like P did in purple rain its not exactly the same but its close enough

Its so annoying to me how all these popular artists like Prince, and make it known that they do, but then still most people think hes a freak/homo/nymph. Why do these people have no influence over their fans?! Why is it such a crusade to get other people to see hes not a freak/homo/nymph and that he actually makes good records?!

Press is a bitch.

Boy George

Trent Reznor

Rob Halford

David Bowie

Brian May

Freddie Mercury (past tense)

Does he? Whered you hear that?

Hi, btw!

Hi lol,

The art of musicology, at the begining of it when other artists are talking about him. I can't remeber exactly what he said but its something about how he ( robert plant ) couldnt do what Prince done.

Ah, cool I havent seent that, will have to look out for it!

I wouldnt have pegged him as a fan.....!

Yip, me to! and im a big led fan so i was like..... c-o-o-l!

Yeah me too, thats cool!

Was anyone else cool on it? Im scunnered I missed it now!

Yip there was, it was a little montage type thingy with differnt artists praisin him at the begining, Robert plant was the only 1 that stuck out in my head....not saw it for a while so i cant remember any other people who were on it. Did u go to the latest meet up???? iv'e been busy lately so i couldnt go

the one that was in the World? yeah I went, with Zaara and PetraE, but hardly anyone turned up! It was really dead... the music was still good, and there was some dancing, but not a patch on last time,

You coming to the London 1?

Bummer! I think ya'll missed my funk lol...nope i cant get time off to go to london, i would give up my right leg to go tho

paulcfc said:

- The other ones were; Alicia Keys, Little Richard, Ozzy Osbourne (!), Herbie Hancock, Mos Def (I am not sure), No Doubt, Beastie Boys...I surely forgot somebody...

There is another documentary about Prince where Clapton, Miles, George Clinton and
Quincy Jones talk about him too.

I have a Guitar World magazine that says ´Just ask Eric Clapton, who always cites Prince (symbol then) as one of his favourite guitar players´. Cool!!

Cool topic, this one...I know several people who dislike Prince and don´t take him seriously as a musician and they are surprised when I say that some of their idols respect and like him as an artist.

If you have more quotes, let´s post here...

Oh that sucks. yeah we missed everyones funk!!!

sure you cant just pull a sickie for a weekend??!

Looks like its gonns be a pretty good time...

Yeah, i probs could pull a sickie for just 1 weekend lol...ozzy osbourne!!!! i would have thought ozzy woulda hated Prince, especially after the Live At The Aladdin gig!! haha. I did know Eric Clapton digs Prince, i saw an interview once, and Clapton praised him and said " you either hate him or love him". Which i find is true

kinaldo said:

- wow...I am not surprised with some names like Gwen Stefani....but I never heard that Paul Mc Cartney liked Prince. And I heard a rumour that Slash didn´t like Prince...did they praise Prince on interviews?

Hmmm, Ozzy eh? I dunno, I mean, is he capable of making his own decisions?! Or is that Sharon?! sorry, i do like myself some sabbath!

Yeah Paul, go on, do it!!! flights are only £35 from Edin, dunno bout glasgow. be a radge!

I liked the stuff that he did, and felt it was daring. It reminded me of Marvin Gaye, though Marvin was maybe a litle more abstract with how he said it,

Charly García
Caetano Veloso

Vonzell from American Idol....Alicia Keys.....and I read in a magazine that if Nick Carter could collaborate with any artist, it would be Prince. Said something how Prince did the best with rythim in the eighties. Oh and Jesse McCartney likes him too.

John Mellencamp likes Prince's music. So did Elton John, Until when someone introduced the two of them backstage at a concert, Prince just stared at him for a second, then turned and walked away. Elton said " I haven't liked that little @###r ever since.

Boy George has been a Prince hater 4 years. I think it is because Prince stole his spotlight back in '82-83, by being better at being androgynous. BOy George always just came off as gay.

Elton gave Prince props for the Musicology Tour last year when he was going off on Madonna for lip-syncing.

GustavoRibas said:

Paul McCartney was reportedly blown away after seeing Prince perform at the 2004 RRHOF. When asked if he would go to one of his shows he said something like, "where there's a will..."

I may be wrong about Slash, but Axl is definitely a fan.

There's too many to name... But D'Angelo is oneuvem.
