prince is my favourite 1 since i heard little red corvette(82) if im not misteken

From age 3 to age 12 It was all about Michael Jackson. When I turned 12 my dad took me to see the Sylvers, and it was all about Foster Sylvers. From 12 to 16 it was various teen stars. Then on March 21, 1983 I went to my first Prince concert. So from age 16 to this very second (age 39!) it is all about Prince! And I don't think that will ever change!

Same here. Prince was always too unfathomable for children to really make any sense of him. I hated him as a kid. MJ was always the kiddies' choice by a long way. Michael was playing a marketing game and Prince was more concerned with adventure, danger and strangeness. He spoke early on about not wanting a superficial audience, hence putting out ATWIAD 10 months after PR, dressing ridiculously and making everyone I knew think he was gay (these idiots of course never suspected MJ for one minute!)

That's so wrong...but at least you've cured me of my George crush once & for all.

Since I was 10, around the time 1999 came out.

I started as a Michael Jackson fan first. I got into Prince when i listened to 1999 on cassette. He became my favorite artist when Purple Rain dropped.

Been a fan since 81. I may have been a fan even earlier and didn't even knew it. When I was 8 I wasn't really into disco but I did like I wanna be your lover. I didn't know to years later that prince sang that song.

Prince has been my favorite since 1979. Before him, it was Donna Summer.

Um, does that news site recycle its photo file names? Panhandler George Michael has been, um, replaced.

with me it all started in the early 90s...l musta been 15 or something...
of course, l knew Princes music, but l was not a fan yet.
as listening 2 Candy Dulfers sax a go go I was looking at the cover and so l saw the last track on the cd ( sunday afternoon; l looooveeee this song ) was written by P.
l was amazed.I bought my first Prince albums and that's when l fell in love with his music.inevitably and deeply

Ahhh, The early years...

I was 13 (1983) and a friend of mine had "1999".
We listened to it for hours on end.

Then came "Purple Rain" and my life was changed, I lived to be Purple and follow the master known as P.

I watched, and still watch Purple Rain every chance I get.

I have a pretty good P collection of CD's. Just got 3121 and love it.

I know, right! The new images make my posts look a little

heard some songs before, but not until 1982(highschool). a guy in art class
was drawing him all the tyme. that was when i really like his music and words
to his songs(nasty and freaky). and still like his music now.

Yes...since I was on my 20s...I am 43 now!

Never had a favorite artist...not until I was given "1999" as a gift when I was 12 (1983) Ever since that day...I have been hooked!!!!! Buying everything I could get my hands on that I knew he created or worked on!!!
