I think that it is bizarre that even in the eighties he wasn't choosen. I know LOTS of women who think he is very handsome and sexy. Ok who's with me? And if so what year chould you have imagined it happening? I could imagine 1986 or even now actually!

Any year between '58 and '06

Damn AB!

Well in the 80s at his peak, u know at the time of 'Purple Rain', and even after.

He was number 1, sexiest males, in such magazines as, Womens Own, Cosmopolitan, etc.

But i remember also in 2004, when he retuned he was top 5 in a rock magazine, i dont remember.

I mean at the time of his peak performance wise, The European Diamonds & Pearls tour 1992 (said 2 be highest grossin European tour, at dat time). He was all over the papers (Man Evening News) and style mags. Claiming him as an instant sex-symbol.

First and foremost I am a guy and I really don't look at him and think of him in that way. To answer your question a lot of women I know either think he's gorgeous and others find him repulsive. That's my guess, the picks for people magazine are pretty boring.

he was the sexiest male entertainer in Midget Monthly July 1989





this was during the Graffiti Bridge time

u have to be at least 5'5"...

Bcuz people like me don't get a chance 2 vote! Of course,when u've got it,u don't have 2 flaunt it.As he said-"sexy never left"!

THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU! Because he's not white that's why, I'm a black woman and I know that they didn't have to have Brad Pitt and George Clooney on there TWICE.

Thank you. Not another "THATZ RACIST!11!" argument, please. Prince hasn't won because some find him gross. Prince fans like to believe that all women find him to be this sex God, but the truth is that many think he's an oily midget.

@ oily midget

I've wished for him to be named "Sexiest Man Alive", but the truth is, he's kind of a cult sex symbol. I don't think mainstream audiences find him sexy, even if they find some of his songs sexy. I think it makes it kind of special that a select group of us can see his true beauty.

I remember a time when I was the only one of my friends who found Johnny Depp beautiful and sexy. Now that he has mainstream popularity, I'm a little bummed out.

how often do musicians get voted sexiest by People?

Prince has never and will never be voted People's Sexiest Man Alive because he's, let's say, unconventionally beautiful. He's small, with big pretty eyes, and is delicate and femme as anything. Some people find that very attractive in a man, but most don't. For anyone to even have a shot at getting the coveted title, they have to be good looking in a traditional, masculine way.

I know what you mean about Depp. I've been a fan for years and it was sort of a secret society/club sort of thing, and now that he's everywhere, I sort of miss the exclusivity of it. It's trendy right now to think Johnny's hot and a fabulous actor, (which he is, of course) even if you've only ever seen him in Pirates. But that still didn't stop me from buying Dead Man's Chest at 9:30 this morning.
