I'm the exact opposite. I won't cry unless someone smacks me in the face or something. Sometimes it bothers people how little emotion I can show over things. That's why it surprises me when I well up sometimes.

No, that's true, I know what you mean. I have to admit that I don't cry a lot, it just hurts like hell and I get a headache of it (and I avoid sad things). And Prince's music makes me feel good, very intense, even the sad songs but I couldn't cry because of his music.

I cry when laughing though but that's different.

Hi CJ

Well, that's really 'bad' crying, real heartbreak crying, none of us like that one!! I suppose when I say cry, I mean tears from intensity or even happiness, maybe more than blubbering my eyes out

And, I LOVE that kind of crying, with laughter

happy anniversary ..i still can't belive it's been 6 years now since that magical week

Sometimes it snows in April gets me every time. I went out with a lad but we were just so close as friends. We were only in high school and because his big sister liked Prince, he used to steal her posters from her bedroom wall and give them to me. We were told off by the maths teacher quite alot for singing Prince songs in class.

He died falling from a warehouse roof, he was just 13. If you look on utube the song, there is a message for David 'O'. The version of the song on the One Nite Alone cd gets me wimpering every time because prince himself at the end of the song gets a little emotional.

His vocals turn me off... I think he sounds extrordinary unsincere when he tries to put emotion in his singing/performance... He's like a bad actor...

I think he made a lot of people cry in Dublin 2008

I cry when I hear God (vocal). I cry and think, OMFG why did he do this piece of crap song? I love the instrumental but the vocal version makes me tear up just as if someone cut onions (or the cheese) next to me. Maybe his worst song ever, so that causes me to cry like a baby.

Seriously, when Prince played the song Purple Rain here in L.A. in 1994 at the Universal Amphetheatre, I remember the entire audience tearing up because of the emotion. I don't remember what had happened, but it may have been that the city was rebuilding after the huge earthquake 3 months earlier, or something, but I just remember that it was one of the most emotional moments for me at a Prince show.

In musical terms the reason purple rain is so powerfull is because of the tension between the high notes hes singing and the underlying chord progression. Its like a great piece of classical music just one note composed correctly can floor you. It just goes to show prince knows what he is doing as a musician.

Sometimes It Snows In April - not always but sometimes

And God Created Woman - the part where he says "and if I never see you again, it's alright....."

3 Chain's O Gold - just because it's the worst and most embarrassing piece he has ever released.

I've wept to

Purple Rain
Sometime it Snows in April
I Can't Love U Anymore (unreleased)

Holy River...towards the end of the song when he cries.

A few times yes. Sometimes they can be tears that aren't sad though. Sometimes

they can be tears of joy and elation like when I listen to Holy River

(especially when he sings, asked my girlfriend to marry me, she said yes and

cried) or the Beautiful Ones. The time that sticks in my mind though was when

my relationship was really rock bottom and I blubbed to When 2 R in Love and

Sweet Baby.

desperate is the day that is 2morrow
4 those that do not know the time has come
2 whip the dogs that beg steal or borrow
from the table that god set 4 his son

sacred is the prayer that asks 4 nothing
while seeking 2 give thanks 4 every breath we take
peaceful r we inside this prayer
4 in the new world we will b there

the only love there is is the love we make ...

All the time...every album has a song or two that will cause tears to spill down my cheeks...it's his lyrics, how he sings them. The music will naturally move me but the words have impact. I get so sensitive!

sure, especially Purple Rain has made me cry for a few times... when I see a video, it's stronger for me, so I cry more

'Purple Rain' has me in tears in seconds, especially after seeing the live performance in London last year. And I get very emotional and teary-eyed over 'Sweet Baby' too - the line 'Better days will come you way' and the way he whispers really strike a chord...

"And God created Woman" and the guitar solo in "Just My Imagination".

Holy River, make me a sense of pain for Prince, because a song that it means hope was transformed and something that it couldn´t be (I guess it was the hymn of couple Mayte and Prince in those years)

I Love You But I Don't Trust You Anymore
Still Will Stand All Time

Same as above with the 'I love u but I dont trust u anymore'.

Also for this moment in my life, Right back here in my arms, Damned if I do, I cant make u love me, and the worst for swelling my eyes up, The love we make and Lets have a baby.

Music really is what sums us all up really...

Love to all

R xxxxx
