Because he had the nerve to be so outrageous, and then had the talent to back it up!

Cause he makes music that consistanly touches me and makes me happy. His music brings me lots of joy.

I am a Prince fan, because I connect with his lyrics and am moved by his music.

Note: I did say "some of these people" not all... it's just amazing how people could come up with all these facts and stuff about one person. It's like they are worshiping him. I'm just stating the truth. No wonder he's so private...

P.S -I'm not talking about only this thread but the whole questions that some people on here ask.

I didn't say ..you said "all". it's just that in this thread, I didn't see anyone posting any so called "facts". Even if some people do worship him...why should it matter any to you? No...you're stating your opinion...that does not make it the "truth"
I guess your post on this thread seemed out of place.

Alrighty then...



So touchy ---I'm glad I could touch someone today!




We cool....

I have been into music all of my life. Prince’s creative output speaks 2 me on more levels than any other single artist has. Not only do I love listening or seeing it live, but a lot of his material actually helps me in my creative process. 4 me, Prince is the single most talented force in music. Period.

It really is a simple as that.

if I had to narrow it down to one thing.....it's the voice. To me, it is THE most beautiful voice there is. So many times it has cut right through me, hit me in my core..and left me breathless.
just sayin'

He changed my life.

like funky muzik!

THE END.

he helps me learn

He's versatile, and has mad skills.

why even bother

It didn' take long to swell on YR? I admire first of all the man himself. He stands 4 what he believes & nos & doesn;t let others move him from that path. He is blessed & nos it & shows & expresses it through his works. He isn;t selfish but rather shares what he can w/us. He carries himslef as a rightful Prince made of God should carry themselves. We in turn should respect his right 2 have some of his life and works private from the world that holds him under a sterile microscope waiting to find fault.

I could write all day about why I'm a Prince fan, he's like a great great boxer who reveals another layer of greatness with every oppurtunity. Let's start with his unique character, he has some of the hugest balls ever in the pop world. He's always put what people say about him on the backburner whether it's that he's gay, insane,an asshole or whatever. This also fuels his constant release of new music, he is prolific and has faith in himself when no one else does. He may be past his creative prime but he hasn't accepted that and he shouldn't. Duke Ellington and other great composers have tried to outdo themselves right up until their deaths, that speaks of a strength which has nothing to do with talent and Prince has it.
I remember being a kid and hearing controversy and loving the song and realizing there was something about it, that all great music has that cannot be defined. He was still regarded as an oddball and I wouldn't call myself a fan at that time, then 1999 came out and those songs had the same magic. I recall sneaking out my mom's 1999 cassette and listening to Little Red Corvette over and over and over again when I was 15. It was a spiritual moment for me, I had heard the radio version and loved it but was not prepared for the full version which was orgasmic. In the dark I kept rewinding that tape and I still have full recall of how I would stop the tape each and every time right at the very end of 1999. Like I say, it was just one of those magic moments. Then, of course, Purple Rain, that is the movie where i decided to be a musician myself. So much talent, I can only stand in awe at all the things he did well at that time and shake my head. Nowadays I play Little Red Corvette all the time on Piano and it has the same effect on audiences that it had on me, it's simply mesmerizing and gets people cheering,dancing and jumping. Just the other day someone asked me about Nirvana and whether I was a fan, it just makes me realize that someone lowered the bar dramatically for excellence. The man is a force of nature, like Beethoven,Ellington or Ali and I'm a fan for life.

He is the sexiest musician. His voice electrifies me. His music is a genious's work and the only music I will listen to always.

totally agree with metalmonkey

the other reason 4 me is the different layers in the music - the different sounds - the screams, the deep voices, the falsetto

the thing that makes it prince is usually, at the end of the songs - when other artists would just 'ad lib to fade' he keeps you engaged to the last note

I like watching the growth of Prince from death to life. That alone is interesting knowing his history (sexual) and understanding his plans (spiritual/religious). It is not by choice of my own that I am what you call a 'fan/fam'. It if were up to me, I still wouldn't know he exist.

Honestly, I think I would be sooo much better and happier now if I had not ever heard his voice and he mine. Prince, will you agree and set me free? (just from you not from Him)

Ne plus ultra. The music is intellectual and so damned funky. Oh dear. Am I an elitist?

The "funky" balances you out in an equitable sense, so you're o.k.
