All those gimmicks at a Prince concert are like a natural beauty applying layer after layer of makeup to her face. It's unnecessary. [Edited 11/30/06 16:36pm]  | |

i am 100% certain that if P delivered a set like Madges with his music y'll b ravin' about it. Saw Bowie on his last tour and the effects vere great [very typicaly Arty] but in no way did it detract from the Man and his incredible music. Did Lovesexy detract from the message or the incredible music?. | |

[Edited 11/30/06 16:36pm] prince can hold his own on stage. other singers sometimes need back up dancers or whatever to get the crowd going- but prince doesn't need that. btw gyro- well said.

IMO, Prince is faar more versatile than Madonna. Prince can pull of a show with and without all that spectacle stuff. Nothing wrong with it, but I can pay less than a $100 and go watch Cirque De Soleil or $70 and go to Disney World to see singing, dancing, elaborate costumes and some fireworks...how much is a Madonna ticket, like $200? Who would pay that much money to go to a Madonna concert if she was just sitting on a stool with a guitar (and I'm not counting some of her obsessed fans who would pay $500 to sit and listen to her read out of the phone book)? Madonna is known for her elaborate concerts. She's good at what she does. Personally, I don't care how good her shows are, she'll never compare to Prince. Prince Rogers Nelson
