who is better: olivia newton-john or prince, who would you pick?

If someone did ask me that question Id have to go with Prince on this one. Why, well he is a hard working artist. If you go back to 1978 he produced, arranged composed, wrote and performed on all tracks. He even played all 22 instruments. From 1978 till now Prince has written his owns songs, Produced , arranged composed and performed his own music. Prince has had more top 40 hits that ONJ. won more grammys & has sold more

So what has ONJ done in the past 35 years:have hits that that were not even written by her. Livvy released singles from 1971-1998 then droped out but Prince has been releasing singles 1978-now

heres the chart

prince ONJ
Grammys 6 4
#1 5 5
US sales 39.0 million 14.0 million
high selling LP PR 13 million grease 8 million
top 10 hits 19 15
#1 albums 3 3
oscars one zero
rock hall yes no

Prince wins 6-0. prince is better than ONJ. Purple rain won an Oscar grease didnt

Come on now, you know SOTW is straight up and down Xanadu material. BTW. on a dating website I'm one, my headline says "What would Xanadu?"
I never get any replies.

Handclapsfingasnapz said:

btw...I'm totally downloading GB right now.

DynamicSavior said:

no.

Handclapsfingasnapz said:

Yes. Inspired by NoveauDance's GB thread last year. Remember that? With all the screen grabs and why the movie was so bad?

DynamicSavior said:

oh gawd yes, that thread was classic...it should've been framed for posterity, it was that fuckin great.

What the hell kind of comparison is this? LOL It's nuts.... and as much as I love Prince, if I was asked such an audacious thing on the streets, I'd have to pick ONJ just for the sheer stupidity of the question.

No, actually, after thinking about it... I WOULD choose Olivia due to all she's done in the name of breast cancer awareness and the environment, on top of her marvelous voice. Obviously, Prince is a better musician but as person, not so much, imo.


Oh, and where did ONJ drop to? She does have a new album, you know? Released in the US in 2005 and being released in other countries this year, I guess. She's been pretty busy and hasn't stopped yet.

pff ONJ sucks. shes a lazy artist who never wrote any of her own hits.
ONJ CARRER HAS BEEN COMPELTY CRAP IN FIGURES OF SALES & SINGLES SINCE 1985. NOBODY THINKS olivia is cool any more

[INTRO CHORUS]

SHE'S A CRAP ARTIST
Your music is poor
SHE'S A CRAP ARTIST
U haven't had a hit in 20 yr.
SHE'S A CRAP ARTIST
Why R u still recording

[VERSE 1]
Ms crap artist faded away music star
Never wrote any hits in 35 years
Look at Prince he's a producer,woah!
wife, mother
Dumped by My idol list but didn't bother her (yup)
But she ain't classy, last platnium album over 25 years ago
And people didnt care about ONJ after 85.
She's crap artist why y'all still buying her music, huh
On radio they don't care bout her msuic, Duh
So crap with her music
She didn't write any hits, just paid ppl
But the fans never hated her
They still support her crazy but I don't give a sh*t
U2 baggers don't F. wit me or ya dead
I wanna send a message to her
Teach her a lesson so olivia retires
She Publicly addressing TV, its disrespect to da haters
Her next album better be a flop.
But aaaaah, Calm down man
You don't wanna burn her contract now man
Keep a nice flow, respect your mom down in Sydney
On the net if you blow and act silly, you know

[CHORUS]
SHE'S A CRAP ARTIST
Your music is poor
SHE'S A CRAP ARTIST
U haven't had a hit in 20 yr.
SHE'S A CRAP ARTIST
Why R u still recording
So when you quit. Ill just laugh
HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA

[VERSE 2]
Kylie sooo nice I'd let my mates meet her
Like she a great artist
Livvy's not like the rest, she's out of date
Why if I see Soul Kiss in a market, I'd laugh n say
Hey the edge doesn't like crap music (U2 rock)
You not da queen fo pop anymore bitch. Madonna stole ur crown cause shes dam rocks
Prince, I know your work. I salute U, your no block
Your haven't had a single since 92 (what a croc)
You blew your career by singing shits song
Before I burn ya CDs ill send you home
Yo this is a warning shot over the equator
Truth be told U ain't my style
You gotta understand some stuff a artist can't allow
You shodda never recorded crap music that why your 90's singles collapsed


[B SECTION]
Ok, Olivia Newton-John sat on a brick wall
Not releasing single, Olivia had a great fall
All the king's horses and all the king's men
Couldn't put her career together again
You get it

[CHORUS 2X]

marto, lay down the herb and back away slowly. You have fried your mind. Are you 21 or 12?

Oh, and Soul Kiss is a great album.


...but nice to know that according to your own guidelines Celine Dion is a better artist than Prince.
[Edited 2/25/06 0:23am]

Why is this even a comparision? Prince--hands down, end of story.

what a dumb question.....OLIVIA????? why!?????.....WHY!

I think marto used to have a big crush on ONJ and she snubbed him as a pimply faced kid, or something... That's the only thing I can think of for such a wacked out comparison.
