What special quality makes Prince so above the rest?

I see him so completely different and unique compared to other artists.

No one can create such
captivatingly erotic and insightful
imagery. Go from one spectrum to another
without haste. Play such emotionally charged guitar and also tone it down without losing the feeling.
Put so much thought and meaning to his words that sometimes u have to look a few times to see it.
He can do their shit but let's see 'em do Housequake!

Seriously, I would have to say that his ability to write awesome lyrics and that voice and his abiltity to play that guitar and piano. Together, these qualities make him irrisistable and above all the rest. He seems really passionate about his music...when he plays...you can see the emotions in his face. You can tell he really loves what he is doing. I just think he's totally cool. Someone I look up to...makes me feel better about my writing. He inspires me to pursue my dreams...well, him and my best friend. Thats what quality he has over the rest...he inspires me to pursue my dreams...he inspires me to believe in what I know in my heart is good stuff. Prince rocks!


peace,heart and God Bless!

Eye see the amber ashes in your eyes...

And won't be contained...
This is the kind of spark that will 4ever remain... heart

Prince's special quality is his being a good steward of the talents God gave him -- not burying them but instead multiplying them over and over and over again...

doubtless, it's his enigmatic, naccessability. Mr Spock had the same drawing power and he didn't even like humans...

Prince is STILL very much naccessable 2 us...
now he just flaunts it more by walking among us, it's still look y'all, but don't touch, NEVER, NEVER TOUCH!

I've seen so many people live through the years and
the first time I saw Prince, I knew it would be good
but I didn't expect it to be the best concert I had
ever been to, but it was

His inability to talk like a normal person makes him seem alternately weird, schizho and esoteric.

To my opinion it is quite easy to answer...
If he is not restricted to any contractual obligation he is able to move way ahead of what you hear in the charts. Ok, some songs are of "low quality", but they are all genuine. The key is that he is the producer of his work, there is no-one telling him: Do this and that -> for marketing purposes.
Anyway if you ask other people what they like most about their favorite artist, they will most likely tell you that it is about the success. Some may tell you that it is about the shows. Funny that most of them think that a good show is the one that gets the songs close to the CD recording.
I have always seen his CD's as a sort of guidelines, just that you know the lead line and lyrics of a song. Than he invites you to a show where he gives you a different version of each song, almost every night. And then...
He books a club to jam a little bit and show you that he is a musician and knows to play the instruments. Same applies to the band members. All of the learn different stuff to be played on the spot, jamming like ya know.

Check out the live DVD from Madonna. There is not to much live feeling except for the sound itself. The songs are more or less the same as on the record. How boring...

This is a very subjective question because while us 3,000 or so orgers may think Prince is above the rest most people in the world do not feel the same.

That said I think Prince's most special quality is his ability to perform live.

If he was a road/street sweeper, do you think he would be above the rest of road/street sweepers too?

I think so. He's very creative, and no matter what he would've done with his life, he definitely would've stood out among the others with the WAY he did it. I'm sure the same goes for most of us in the various jobs we hold.
