HERE WE GO AGAIN WITH THE SILLY THREADS.WHY WOULD PRINCE BE THE BETTER ARTIST THEN STEVIE WHEN PRINCE TOTALLY RUIN BLACLK MUSIC WITH HIS DIRTY LYCRIS AND HIS GENDER BENDING IMAGE.


Whats silly about it you answered it didnt you?? did you even read what I said I said I couldnt seperate them, not prince was more gifted.

Also what has his dirty lyrics and gender bending got to do with who is the most gifted musician and if you think he ruined black music what the hell are you doing on a prince forum anyway????
THE REASON WHY IAM ON THIS SITE IS THAT IAM A FAN.1 OTHER THING HIS SONGWRITING HAS EVERYTHING TO DO WITH BEUNG A MUSICIAN, IMEAN HES NOT A JAZ ARTIST,HIS MUSIC HAS WORDS IN THEM. PLUS YOU DISRESPECTED STEVIE WITH THIS QUESTION.

Easy, rolling, easy. It's baiting.
Just let it go man.
Just let it go.
Based on the crazed use of the cap feature & the MJ tinged screenname, you don't know what kind of person you may be dealin' wit' here.
For all we know, this person may some kind of disturbed, maniacal scary-ass looking clown.
IAM NOT CRAZY, IJUST THOUGH THE QUESTION WAS DISRESPECTFUL TO STEVIE.

they are equal it's a matter of taste, stevies songwriting is better, princes Ax playing and showmanship is better, everything else is a draw.

Without a doubt they are both very gifted!
When it comes to music,it's mostly a matter of taste what kind of music you appreciate the most. Personally I like Prince better, but who am I to say that Prince is more gifted than Stevie Wonder?
love the one who is Love!

I think that they share the crown - they're both fantastic musicians, just slightly different. There's no way for me to choose really...
I'm not stopping. I haven't even taken my coat off

This is too difficult. They're both great musicians, artists and performers.

When Stevie was in the Bay Area this past summer, he got up on the Piano stool by himself, it was risky!

I think he was trying to rival Prince's dancing! I'm just glad that he stopped short of doing that splits-in-the-air thing.

lol lol cool

So saying somebody is a musical genius and that I cant personally serperate him from another musical genius is disrespecting him. Your not very bright are you.

I disagree with you. I believe Prince EXPANDED the realm of BLACLK music. Expansion and diversity is always a good thing although some may not partake, understand or appreciate, that's an individual taste; but to have a choice is what makes life wonderful.

cool

I've said my piece here...but, I don't get this crap that Stevie is greater than Prince...not one bit.

Both of their early work is what they are judged by...and both were stellar.
No problem there, but Stevie has done NOTHING musically for the past 20-25 years. I Just Called To Say I Love You was an embarrassment. The man is gifted, but his voice is gone, so why not put out an instrumental piano CD?
This man is the epitamy of treading water musically (which is said alot around here about Prince)

Prince is still doing his thing, making great music and riding high while still looking sexy. He is the one, musically. He may not push himself like he used to (musically speaking), but he's still the best ticket around. When Stevie was 50 years old, the same couldn't be said about him...

I love me some Stevie, his work is probably my second fav, but he doesn't compare to Prince, not in my book.
Thanks for the laughs, arguments and overall enjoyment for the last umpteen years. It's time for me to retire from Prince.org and engage in the real world...lol. Above all, I appreciated the talent Prince. You were one of a kind.
