Alot of people compare them in different aspects.

ok, i was only kidding. it wasn't geraldine ferraro.

they both know how to bring the high heat .. keep ure soul lit all night n give you your moneys worth ... .....

Now would Princey do a cover of 'Moonage Daydream', or a Camille style cover of 'Fascination'

IT seems so right. . . You, my friend, have just made the world a more beautiful place by putting those two together.

i admire both artists (period) ofc prince more soo
two of the most diverse..

I wish they recorded something together! It could be any kind of shit - I would love it!

2 of the most amazing and talented artists in the last 30 years. I agree, i would love to hear them combine their thoughts and just go for it. Under Pressure (Bowie and Queen) turned out amazing. If Prince decided to get personal and allow Bowie to influence him, and vice versa... now that would be worth hearing.

No doubt that P hasn't patterned himself after Bowie to a certain degree. Bowie is one of the coolest artists ever in the history of known performers. Anx actully wrote a serious article years ago about the similar aspects of Ziggy Stardust and Purple Rain, the albums. I myself saw a simialar thing, visually, with Bowie's Diamond Dogs tour and P's Controversy tour. They both wore the stripped down tuxedo look and 74-76, Bowie was extremely funk/rock. Bowie fucked with that sound actually up to 1980.

just want to give more props to Anx's article.

My question is: do they know each other?

david bowie is a great artist, but his voice isn't good enough to sing with Prince

i seem to recall reading about Prince going to Bowie concert around 2000.

BlackAdder7 said:

maybe not in the here and now (though who knows?), but generally speaking regarding bowie's vocals...are you INSANE?!?!

BlackAdder7 said:

Have you ever heard Sweet Thing?

Cheek said:

even songs like 'loving the alien' and 'absolute beginners' are proof of how amazing his voice is.

Anxiety said:

Also I Know It's Gonna Happen Someday is pretty amazing!

Raze said:

i didn't know anyone even remembered that old thing

i always thought that Cybersingle had touches of Bowie in it.

Anxiety said:

Ah, u knew I was hip to it....

P. probably saw this on the MTV

I would die to hear what those two could create together, or see them perform together onstage. If both of them could be persuaded to let go of their egos enough to truly collaborate, I think it could be a beautiful thing.

The two have a fair number of similarities: Both have long-lasting careers, both have been hugely influential on younger generations of artists, both have clear and distinct phases -and occasionally characters -in their careers, both have toyed with sexuality and gender in a way most men of any sexuality wouldn't dare, both fuse with varying degrees of success different sounds into their work. They're practically twins.

Even the classic kitsch song Glass Spider shows Bowie singing at his best

oh yeah..
