What do your friends think about our man

Well most of my friends have such a bad taste in music you know they like Rihanna,Pussycat Dolls Britney Spears,Christina Aguilera and Timberlake.And their opinion about our man...
They think that he is gay(well even if he is he has the right to be)
They say he is ungly
They say that he had done surgeons that's why he seems so young and that's why he has full lips(well they don't know anythin' about him amd they thought that he is 20 years old).But i tell them that i don't care and that's why i like him because he doesn't care what the people say...he is just so ME!!!!! razz lol cool

washed up....an to a degree i think he is - but that is MY OPINION.....until they hear him on the radio, they'll prob think he's retired or sumfin....and the sad thing is, unless your a fan that keeps checking these websites, you can understand why they think that

I think I've created a monster. LOL. My best friend didn't really know much about Prince and we watched a few of his vids and now she's in love with him. biggrin
I love a Man who:
Wears More Make Up Than Me.
Wears Four Inch Stilleto Boots.
Changes His Name To An Unpronouncable Symbol.
Who Changes His Name Back From An Unpronouncable Symbol.
Oh And Most Importantly, Who Is Sexy Little Drop Of Butterscotch

Depends on what age your are. For me being in my 30's most of my friends only know is popular stuff. Stuff off of Purple Rain, 1999. They know "kiss" and "raspberry beret". It's sad they only like his old stuff.

Most of my friends really dislike his music or think that he's a freak.



But about 50% of my female friends love the shit out of him. The ones that don't find him creepy. Like Michael Jackson creepy. lol


80% of them, regardless of their feelings of him, acknowledge he's a genius, though some don't think he's better than Jackson. whofarted

When I first got into Prince in 1995, my friends all made fun of me. Come to think of it, they weren't very good friends. They all thought he was freaky and weird, but I had a serious 13 year old girl type crush on him.

When I got into high school, I met maybe 4 other people who liked him.

When I went to Community College, I met a couple more, but most people still made fun of me.

When I went to University, most people at least knew who he was, and had a little respect for him, because of his newly dubbed "legend status." Musicology had just come out, and he was everywhere, so all of a sudden it was ok to like Prince.

Now I am 24, and I'm still the only person in my group'o'friends who is flat out crazy about him. Oh well, it makes me feel special I guess.

Now these are all speaking for different friends but,

They think he's scary.
They think he's fucking awesome (after I hipped them to 'im).
They think he's immortal/a vampire.
They think he's 'just silly'.
They'd 'love to bang' him, as he put it.
OR They have never heard of him in their life.

My friends wouldn't know who Prince was if I didn't go on and on about him. One is obsessed with Nickelback and the other with Superman and the Rasmus eek . They won't give him a listen and every time I suggest we listen to him at a party or whatever they roll their ig'nant little eyes and put on Chad "I only sing one song" Kroger (or however it is spelt, the point is, he's fugly). The only other friend I have likes him because she makes me listen to Marilyn Manson. She at least respects him and tolerates my obsession.

Well all of my friends went something like this. (step by step)

1. "Who's Prince?"
2. I explain who he is, let them listen to either "Kiss" or "When Doves Cry" (the latter for rock lovers, it never fails)
3. "Hey, I know that song!" (well duh lol )
4. I let them listen to a whole album/whole hits compilation
5. "He's cool but he's kind of weird...ya know?"
6. I have deep conversation with them about uniqueness and how genius is one step from insanity falloff
7. "I love that outfit!!! You wouldn't think he could pull it off but..."

And yeah, it works like that almost every time...all my friends are at least minor Prince fans now. lol

HE'S COMING AGAIN

Most of my friends don't like him.
They think he's weird, arrogant, vain, ...
If they have something nice to say about him, they'd say they like some of his songs but are not crazy about him.

Alot of my friends and people I know like his hit songs and realize his genius, even if some don't really care for his personality. Most people I know like his songs though.

Acutally a lot of my friends are huge fans. My two best friends both consider him to be one the greatest muscians ever, and are always ask me to give them some the stuff i have. **i'm getting one of them the one night alone box set for x-mas** She acutally stood up all night and waited in line with me to see him peform on GMA show this summer. And my other best friend who acutally got me into Prince will be meeting up w/ me this weekend in Las Vegas to go to both Prince shows that weekend.**i'm buying one of her tickets as x-mas present** and she insits we get there super early so we can be right up front, and is drulling over the fact that he's been playing "if i was ur girlfriend" and "pink cashimre" But then there others who think he's alright they like the hits, and there are some who cant stand him. but for the most part i have kick ass friends who love Prince. but after all that's why we are friends, cause we share simlar intrests.

I have one good friend who is prince fan, probably bigger than me (hes flying down to see the man in Vegas on the 8th).

Everyone else makes fun of him for being pervy, but they secretly think its hilarious and tease me when I drop some Prince lines to pick up chicks though I'm just having fun and being cheeky. Some tease him for being gay, but they all know hes not, and I'm sure they all have at least couple of his tracks on there IPod. (Head, Bambi, The Future, and When Doves Cry are the ones my buddies can dig)

And most of them have seen and enjoyed purple rain, thanks to me...

funkyhead

depends on the age group, the older ones i.e.30+ really got back on board with Musicology and actually bought the CD + always speak of him with great respect and recount the many UK tours they had a great time at [by the way these are not purpleheadz, just people who have PRain in their collection.
The younger ones [18 - 25] though really don't get it, if it don't have those annoying house drums going at 3million BPMs then forget it, they also don't give a rats ass whether he plays his instruments or writes his own stuff!.

Does it really work?! Damn, I gotta try that too smile Allthough my friends wouldn't recognize "When Doves Cry" and would probably think Prince has ripped off Tom Jones's "Kiss".

I don't know a single soul that likes Prince except you lot! Ok, maybe you can count my 8 & 5 year old kids, they really like his music but thats just because they have been brain-washed & its all we listen to in my car! My 8 year old even has a crush on him! All of my friends think I am weird cos as well as loving his music, I find him really attractive! They all think he is gay & weird & only know him for hits such as Purple Rain & Kiss, etc My husband is another story thou, he totally couldn't stand him & everytime he got in my car complained that he wasn't listening to 'that shit' again! Well, persuaded him to watch the Musicology tour the other night whilst we were playing Scrabble (yes, I know its sad, but educational!!! biggrin ) & he actually agreed! I caught him watching it between games! Anyway, to cut a long boring story short, asked him if we could go to Vegas for our wedding anniversary for a long weekend (we live in the UK) just to see Prince & he has agreed!!!! OMG!!! He actually said he thought Prince was really talented, so slowly, I am getting there!!

All my straight friends love his earlier work before "Purple Rain". Only one or two of my gay friends like him period.
