If Prince were taller I don't think he would wear the heels. I think he would have worn them for a short period because that was the look in the 70's but I don't think he would have continued. I do believe his heel usage is due to his shorter stature. He just happens to make them look stylish in the process.

And Prince is normal height for Prince.



I think you are right, anyhow I dont think he is 5'2 - maybe in heels.

In answer to the question no I dont think he would wear heels at all, but it is now part of him and part of his trademark too.

as for 'normal' some people are very touchy about this subject, just a poor choice of words i guess. You will learn that on the org! choose your words wisely in here or the thread subject gets lost in all the wounded pride out there!

wow, the whole "diminutive rocker" subject is a sensitive one!

I believe Prince wears heels because he's self conscious about his height. But he's cool enough that he has incorporated it into his image as a whole, so it appears as more of a strength than an insecurity.

Prince's whole image might be different if he'd been "born like my brother, handsome and tall." I am glad he wasn't, however! If he'd been born different his music would have been different.

So no, I don't think he'd wear them if he was a "taller normal height." wink And he probably shouldn't wear them now, they're terrible for your feet!



Finally nice 2 see someone say what I've always said since the beginning. If Prince were taller, so many things would most likely be different. His height effected his sense of humor/wit. I'm sure it effects his dancing and the clothes he wears. It effects the lyrics in his songs...I know that if I had been taller, I would never have developed my sense of humor/wit. My dancing, would def. be different. If I was 6' tall, I couldn't see myself still doing the Prince style splits that I can do. I believe these things all developed because of my heigth. I know I'm cool but in truth if I was taller, I don't think I would be as cool or be able to pull off some of the things that I do. It made me step up my game. I also believe that whatever U name your child can also have a big effect on them.

I can't help but be a bit scientific about it... because the heaal effects the whole package... it changes the centre of gravity. so it effects how he walks and dances on stage. Add some more inches to that, and you change things again.... the question i wonder is if he could pull it off if he were taller?

Any taller guys tried it? I suppose drag queens can pull it off.

Being a 6ft girl and into dancing.. i aggree with the above comment. There is alot of issues to get past when your tall and a dancer.. it isn't that things can't be done, but it is easy to be too scared to throw yourself on the ground when it is that much further away..... you see, short people aren't the only ones who can get a complex about their height.

I do remember a guy at school who used to do prince splits and he would have been 5ft10

Because some people cannot stand to hear any criticism about their hero.

He's well shorter than average, people. Try & cope with that fact.

But he is not of abnormal height, and it is not criticism but insulting ignorance.

Coulda rephrased it a bit better..it sounds like his height is not normal ITS JUST not common for a man. I think he's height makes him the unique individual that he is especially with his confidence and not feeling intimidated by anyone because of his height, his height really isn't a problem to me because his talent and charisma makes me overlook it ..and yeah he's still fine

Normal height? I'm of normal height and I can look at him eye to eye. What's to say our height isn't normal?


I'd like to add I have a bangin closet of shoes lol
But thats a footnote in this discussion



People gotta chill...I'm sure they person meant to say "average" height when he said "normal" height - a very easy and understandable word substitution. The average height of a male born in the United States happens to be quite a bit taller than 5'2 or whatever Prince is; if I had to guess it's somewhere around 5'8'' - 5'10", that's all they meant!!!
