Some of his really old stuff sounds really fem., but what does he do that makes so many people think he's feminine? He's always seemed so masculine to me, especiallly surrounded by so many women? I refuse to believe this is a dumb question.

most men don't wear high-heeled boots, heavy makeup, sing in a girlish falsetto, and are constantly "pretty".

Plus, he had those ribs removed so he can suck his own[snipped]!

squirrelgrease said:

everyone in show biz wears makeup, and there are lots of R&B singers that sing in that falsetto, but no one calls them feminine.

Because they didnt dressed like a sudanese prostitute.

he proudly wears an assless pants outfit on stage..
he wears make up everywhere he goes...
looks pretty...
used to perform in panties...and everthing the others said..

He does have some feminine body language. The way he sits, the way he holds things in his hands. Not to mention everything else lol.


Prince is either a somewhat feminine middle-aged man or a somewhat masculine teenaged girl. You decide.

But Jimmy says he is feminine. Dunno why.

beats me.

Even when he wore tons of lace, makeup and heels I never picked up a feminine vibe from him. Masculinity oozes from his pores. I don't think he is shy and quiet either, just reticent at times. He's very clever at maintaining various facades. All the speculatlion about his orientation/race/personality probably amuses him.

Maybe generating intrigue is his way of making life more interesting.

if there was ever a thread that deserved ONLY pics its this

because he is...

Most people don't know about Camille and most people haven't heard much from his falsetto only days, tho. The little exposure they've had to him makes them think he's gay. Even people who didn't know shit about him before Musicology. All the "feminine" stuff he does is nothing that other straight R&B singers haven't done.

I put this question in the wrong thread.

Virginie74, do you thing his ass is feminine or did you read or see that somewhere?

would a butch guy wear this?

there's nothing fem about what he's wearing...

The only "gay" things it ever looked like he did were a couple of dance moves he did with the NPG in which it looked like they were humping him. The first time I saw this was when they all fell on his naked ass during that 1991 MTV thing at the beginning of the performance. But really, the only pic of him I've ever seen that makes him look effeminate is this one below, and non-fans would never have seen something like this:

and this pic is very uncharacteristic of him.

Ever watch the Scandalous video?

doctamario said:

I agree. that's just one of his artsy looks.

DiamondGirl said:

yeah, it's a pretty cool video. He's wearing this red thing, but it's not a dress or anything like that. And thruout, he just does a bunch of cool, romantic dance moves. But what's fem about that?

I'd also like to add that I never thought his Prince/Dirty Mind/Controversy underwear was just a man's bikini. Some men wear stuff like that.

babynoz said:

That's exactly what I'm trying to say. He's artsy and unique, but people mistake art with gayness. How many male musicians are artful about so many things that they do?

Handclapsfingasnapz said:

that is true remember prince ran away from home so he never had his father that much 2 tell him2 b masculine and surounded by women is one of the main reason he is around women maybe a little 2 much

doctamario said:

Ok it's obvious that you have your mind made up

sosgemini said:

Or do his hands that way.

DiamondGirl said:

I'll take another look at it. What sorts of things should I look for? ACtually, it kinda reminds me of that D'Angelo vid.

DiamondGirl said:

that's a good pt.

doctamario said:

I wouldn't call him feminine (trust me, the man comes alive when hanging out privately with other men like members of The Time), but some of his moves are pretty gay. The dance he did with Tony, Damon and Kirk on the Act 1 (Symbol) tour where one all three would be laying on the floor butt humping each other was always a strange one.

But that was just me.

yeah, that's one of the only times.
