MADONNA???? Voice range limited, can't play an instrument. Outta P's league.
Boy, those rap moves on one of her recent videos were humiliating. Maybe she doesn't realize it, but THAT was a humbling experience.

I'm 28 and I share your same sentiments. He is the living legend of our generation and his genre-straddling brilliance introduced me to so many other legends that influenced him. However, his music will always be number one with me.

because the man can sing like no other

I'm 29 and his music was a gateway to other genres and musicians for me. In an era where everyone is so cookie cutter. his music (while not chart topping) is still compelling.

I'm 35 but i look 21...prince can play real good

He is very talented. I've gotten the pleasure to see him in concert 3 times and he is mind blowing live. Hes a great writer and musician. Not to many of my friends don't listen to him because they want to listen to shitty music that has no soul to it and the artist is just used for someone else to get rich because they don' write it, they just perform. It seems like some people are scared to say they listen to him because they are scared of what people will think of him but I don't care. And I like the fact that he does different types of music because I am a music lover therefore its only right that I am a Prince fan.

I also like the different styles of music Prince does. Let's Go Crazy was the first rock-type song I ever liked. I was stricly rap and R&B before Purple Rain came out. Now when I listen to music, I've learned to appreciate all parts of a song rather than just focusing on the beats. Which is why Prince's live shows to me are great.

Simply he's a beautiful person and I love his music. By the way I'm 34 and have been a fan since I was 9 .

also his smile

I love his music and his good looks.

He has a mature style of music that would appeal to any twenty or thirty something

It's early. I'm too tired to rip this post. If I wasn't too tired, ... oh nevermind. I'm too tired.

BUT... I will stand up and make a comment here.

If you're calling How Come U Don't Call Me Anymore... a LACKLUSTER Prince song... then you have no soul whatsoever. This is arguably one of Prince's top ten songs.

The piano, the passion, the range... PLEASE don't get me started.

Compared to Prince, Alecia Keyes... with the utmost respect... is Vanilla Ice. Seriously. She can play the piano? Give her a cookie. She's fine as hell? Since when does that translate into being the GOAT?

I do respect her for the fact that she's not out there with her ass up in the camera like 90 percent of all the other female rappers/R&B singers who've sold their soul to the equation that states that Visual Sex Sells Records (There are some PATHETIC sell-outs out there. "Hi, Li'l Kim." ... just to name one), but I'm sorry to disappoint you... Alecia Keyes is nowhere near the caliber of Prince.

Can she even dance... or does she just sit behind the piano at her concerts and raise her arms once in a while?

xplnyrslf said:

That's an insulting question. I've been a fan for 22 years and I'm still in my (late) 20's. What are you insinuating? That the youngers ones just discovered or something?

Graycap23 said:

DITTO, and there it is, no other explanation needed.

[b]Why do supposed(look it up) 20-30 somethings like ponderous(dictionary)
vacuous(wickepedia) so-called music? like 50cent-tri-Bittney-any other shit that runs down your media -driven reality?
If u r a 20-something ( something is the most appropo)<<<<You are genetically pre- dispositioned to shake your Hiney(50's lingo)to the likes of non-musical American Idol types.
Now that is broad generalization.....like you proposed!!!!


Douche bagge!

80's production----I believe you mean engineering!
Production is the guidance of an artists musical course.Sorry

I think P is very very very sexy. His intelligence for music is outstanding. His mysterious personality is what keeps most loving him..

Best musician/singer/sex symbol...whatever u want to call him...ALIVE!

Because there are a few of them that actually have the good taste to look beyond the bullshit on the radio. Too bad I can't say the same for the rest of them.

BlackBuddy said:

Don't take it personally, I'm trying to establish what P does to attract fans who were born before Purple Rain. There's something you like about him, so answer the question.

xplnyrslf said:

So, you wanna know why P has fans between 23-30?

Same reasons most of the fans like him. I like his music and I like watching him perform. He plays a pretty hefty number of genres, and has done most of them well. He's attractive, but in an unusual way. Or was I supposed to have a different answer because Purple Rain came out a year before I was born?

Cuz he's different and summit special about him x x x
