Because it was awful (I've had nearly 20 yrs to consider that). | |

Movie-wise (sticking with the plot only, that is.)
He didn't win because the song wasn't a team effort. He ignored his bandmates suggestion. They didn't put their hearts into playing and he was concentrating on himself. (lol...and Jimmy Jam had a gameboy) 
Song-wise (4 the reality of it.) The song just lacked. I never liked it as a kid (I originally watched GB for Tevin Cambell and Prince but a wee bit more for TC...) and I still don't dig it. It's just one of those songs that didn't cut the bacon fat. | |

Because he didn't hump anything while singing... wait, maybe he did 
That song is a grower, took me a while to like it. The only contest it could win is a panny drawz contest - "so baby don't spit me out"    I never met you, but I LOVE you & I will forever!! Thank you for being YOU - my little Princey, the best to EVER do it | |

Because that would have spoilt the plot. Duh!

I think it's because, since Graffiti Bridge is basically Purple Rain retold in a parallel universe, that Tick Tick Bang was the equivalent of Darling Nikki, and therefore considered to be tasteless by the crowd. But that's just my guess. |

He would have...if he'd done the original version... We don’t mourn artists because we knew them. We mourn them because they helped us know ourselves. | |

He wasn't being true 2 himself (according 2 aura) Tick Tick Bang was a cop out [and in the vain of the movie] a completely self-absorbed song. That being said- self-absorsption was Morris' claim 2 fame, and the Kid couldn't truly deliver a song like that with sincerity (definately not better than Morris could). So he loses, and then runs off 2 kill himself, but suicide is a self-absorbed act 2. So aura comes 2 him and pretty much says: "look nigga, all this me me me shit ain't gonna fly ya dig, why don't you just stick with all the spiritual shit i found in ya underwear drawer" Then he plays "Still would stand all time" damn near in tears over the death of aura, and calls for four corners 2 untinue 4 love, which was all he really wanted anyway. 2 share.
Tick Tick bang wasn't no sharing song. It was the Kids version of "Gimmie that P*ssy"  shame on you Kid.[Edited 5/23/07 14:28pm] | |

Because it makes Ronnie Talk to Russia look like a work of genius. "Don't hate me cos I'm beautiful" | |

 Really its because he did that "ooh I can't hold it" part. He lost it right there fair and square. | |

Well, it's no "Purple Rain" that's for sure. "Half of what I say is meaningless; but I say it so that the other half may reach you." - Kahlil Gibran | |

Exactly... Personally, I think the song is great. Quirky as hell but great. | |

...what's more effective?
if someone screams at you in a fight do you scream back just as intense or louder? if youre an opportunist, you fly under the radar and get noticed | |

I think Zekie meant "who decided that The Time had won?" I always wondered because the crowd isn't consulted & then Prince loses, but WHO was supposed 2 say who'd win? | |
