His vocal technique

I mostly love Prince`s vocals, but sometimes he destroys a nice tune with his choice of vocal-technique. A few examples are "Better with time", "Dreaming about U" and "I love U, but...".

A few exampels were his vocals sounds great: I hate U, The morning paper and Thieves in the tempel.
I believe that sex is a beautiful thing between two people. Between five, it's fantastic.

We like him when he doesn't want to sing pretty.
That's one of Prince trademarks.
You can tell about Prince's Future , but his Past is utterly unpredictable

I agree that this is one of his trademarks. But it depends...feks on Cindy C and Poom Poom etc he is funny and funky. And it is part of the charm that he screams and yells. But when it comes to ballads...it sounds sometimes that he don`t balance his voice very good. But in general....his voice is one of the reasons why I became a fan. Because he can vary. Geroge Michael is a much better vocalist, but he could never do f.eks the before mentioned Cindy C.

All artists have 'destroyed' some nice tunes with their choice of vocal technique and every artist has done a song that some other person can cover and smash the original.
I swear the words "HATER" is wayyy over-rated...smh
