hmmm....we all kno prince b-day is n 6 days n now frankly i think its time 2 decide 2 call him old or not.

i jus wanna see wat debating i can get out of the fans if u think he's "old" then xplain n vice versa if u think he's "young"

Why do we have to decide to call him anything?

I don't think he's young obviously but he's not THAT old either. 89 is old.

So...all the people whose posts I've read in the last 5 minutes, asking, "Is Prince old?" "Is he getting fat?" "What happened to his ass?" must be...like...15 years old?

I'm just guessing.

You're only as old as you feel. I think Prince's stamina, and appetite for life make him around 29. Now if his appetite for food would just catch up!!!

That's right -- I forgot one. "Has he still got it?"

He still has that...sparkle in his eyes. His gait is still that of a confident man. He plays his guitar like a man who knows how to rock a headboard just right. @ 49, Prince is far from old. The only thing I'd ever call him would be supferfine. The way he takes care of himself, he won't age a day.

^ so right!

He seems very youthful and doesn't look old. He is doing quite ok.

When I read 49 it didnt even sound rite...meaning Prince aint no 49 2 me
dude is coming out with fragrances and goin on tours and makin nightclubs...puhhhleeeeazzze

Prince is young, Dakota Fanning is old...the same way my grandmother was always younger than my mother. He will probably never be seen as old...well, not for a very long time, anyway.

If he's is, it's probably only to those that fixate on him in his 20's.

yo, 49 is not old (it's borderline middle agey). Especially for someone who works as hard as he does.

besides, he's only ever aged like once.

I think men get better after 50, IMO. Different stage of life.
He's gracefully getting older. Not falling out of coconut trees...look at Keith Richards.

Attention, please! Attention!

Prince will be old when Prince decides he's old and not one moment before then!!!!

Got it? Good! Discussion over!

Can it come with a movie?

happyhappy said:

LOL! Knowing Prince, it just might!

I can only hope to be blessed to see 49

Hopefully he has another 49 years of making music in him.

yea i am a teen, young person so wat does it matter? im childish 4 asking someones opinion.?.

i only bring this up because my grandmother is 53 not much older than n prince n the ppl that luv her dnt typical say shes old but moreso say shes getting on n her years.....so u wanted 2 ask wat ppl who "luv" prince would say. it seems 2 me that the ppl who r the most defensive may b the ones afraid 2 admit that they think that prince "is" getting old.

i have no concerns whether u think he still has it or not because frankly we all kno if prince was 89 years old he would still sing n play his ass off on guitar n piano

this is no obligation if u u dont want 2 decide dnt post!!! its not like i have 2 force u 2 care if u think he's getting old or not jus ur thoughts is u do.

omg... don't even try to ask me to answer that question in less than sentence.

grr, he makes things so complicated.
He's a year away from 50... and he still looks EXCELLENT for his age. He really takes such good care of himself. I think he could still pass for 30 something.

Sure, he's older than me (by 20+ years)... but in general, I don't think he's OLD old... he's cool

see that is wat i mean let's say if u never met prince (and yes maybe this a new forum born from this one) if u never heard prince b4 (jus pretending) n u jus saw him on television or at a concert, how old do u think he would be?

Purplerain7772001 said:

Prince looks like he is 20 years old. Age is all relative anyway. Age is merely a measurement of time and existence defined in years. How one feels inside is what really matters. i'm 42 and i feel ageless eventhough i am aware of my body's age which is defined by what year, month, and day i was born. i don't feel 42 though.

lol just recently i asked my 2 of my friends (who aren't Prince fans)

'How old do ya think Prince is?'
one said like 35, other said 20-40

One thing is for sure he can SPELL!

At the Superbowl, I swear he only looked about 29. Must be the rain or something.

Old enough to be my daddy... and I would call him daddy if he wanted..
