It's funny that when people mention how short Prince is, a lot of people are like "Well he's still....talented/beautiful/larger than life, etc."

Nobody said he wasn't all of those things.Nobody is here looking down on Prince (no pun intended) because of his stature. The person who began this thread just asked if we were honestly suprised, not digusted by his height. We all still love him.

People need to get over stupid fucking shit like this.

Last time I checked, this was a chat forum, people can bring up anything they want. Regardless of whether you think it's dumb or not. If you don't like it, don't post. I skip over posts I think are dumb all the time.

But some women's cases they'd probably be looking down. He'd break his neck trying to look up.

I always knew he was short and stuff but I admit when I was next to him in LA I thought to myself DAMN he is a tiny, tiny man. I really didn't expect him to be that small. I mean you hear it all the time, but I guess it didn't actually hit me until I was close to him.

Me 2..1st time I saw P very close up was 1998, Brixton Academy, London.
Like I said b4 its a shock at 1st cos he's got very small limbs, torso and stuff but its well proportioned. I thought he had a woman's body in fact when I saw him that close..

His bum is the littlest thing I've ever seen!!!!

An Organizational behavior professor a the Stanford University Graduate School of Business said that taller people look down or directly with others, they use an open stance and vigorous gesters, speak loudly in a deep voice, interrupt at will, and lean in close or otherwise reduce the space of others and expand their own. What does that give them? Others see them as smarter, more competent and deserving of all their promotions. Several studies indicate that taller men are more likely to be successful and the advantage begins earlier. The last U.S. president who was shorter thatn the average man was 5'7" William McKinley 106 years ago.

According to a cover story in USA TODAY Wednesday July 18, 2007

Height equals power!

Being taller, louder, dominate, is a step up the ladder.



And blah blah blah

and so on and so forth

so basically, he stays on stage with heels to make himself seem to be taller b/c he's a tiny individual with a commanding voice so he can get away with it...

ThankQ, U explained that beautifully.
I met Brian May 2day at the unveiling of Nelson Mandela's statue in Parliament Square, London. Later a group of us kept talkin' about how tall he was..so what, just an observation.

I honestly think that the people being defensive in this thread r both over-reacting and missin the point which is that P is in the public eye and we will notice stuff about him (especially those who see him 4 the 1st time).

I also commented on how light Prince's eyes R 2 ppl...so U gonna say I shouldn't talk about his either

Tom Cruise and Sylvester Stallone are perceived as tall.....they aren't.
From someone who's 4'10" he looks perfect.
When I've watched him perform, he's playing his guitar, I'm watching his amazing talent,and height never occurred to me.

When you meet Brian May were you not more impressed by his height???? When you talk about someone who is tall it's more of a positive comment. Where as saying some one is short is a negative. The person who started this thread thought that even now after all the years still thinks of Prince's height as being "Weird". Just the other day I read an article calling Prince the "pint" size pop star. What is positive about that??? Don't remember any negative article about Brian Mays height.
