do you think that Prince would have the same appeal if he were say, 6'1"?


I know I think that his height is one of the things that makes him sooo adorable. And the boots... Hell, he can walk in heels better than I can. lol


edit: when I say appeal, I mean overall. Attractiveness, musical/star appeal, all that,

Maybe if he had a parasitic twin growing out of his neck, he might have lost some appeal. But, who knows.

He'd have found SOME way to make it fly, dressing it up and making it either a backup singer or something.

Tiny stiletto boots. Little Parasite would probably get his own CD in the next 3-disc project.

Nevermind his own Tavis interview, in which Tavis will indeed lick the lil' stiletto boots.

If Prince wasn’t short he probably wouldn’t have been bullied when he was young and he may not have turned to music, like he did.
So I’m kinda glad he’s petite……
Anyway great things come in small packages!

agreed!

If short is eye 2 eye with me...than we will just have to accept it as God's intended dezyn.

I'm not sure what 'appeal' is supposed to mean here, but if you mean, women would find him less attractive, then I'd have to say yes.

Prince's small frame and short stature compliments his feminine ...erm... adornments.

If he were larger, he's just look like one of those scary drag queens you see in Gay Bars.

But because he is shorter and smaller, the heels and close work fine on him. Actually, he's unique in that sense. Have you seen Michael Jackson's tall, creepy ass in sequence? That shit is scary!

there's no answer to that because you'll never know.

I can relate to being considered vertically challenged,
things like needing help reaching tall shelves seem to be my only real "challenge"
one time this kid stopped me in the elevator at work and said you know if you were just a few more inches smaller you'd be a legal midget, he thought it was cute, I gave him a good eye roll

I think a lot of people that never saw him live thought he was 5'10 or there abouts. I know I did. I never thought he was a mere 5'2 until the Purple Rain days when more information and tidbits were in magazines about him.

Of course I never thought MJ was 6'1 either.

If Prince were tall, I could see him trying to be a basketball player. He's spoken about basketball a lot in the past, he was in his High School's basketball team. Hell he even had a basketball court in the middle of the stage for the Lovesexy tour!

chocolatehandles said:

as a 5'3" man, let me tell you, it ain't easy bein' short. he's "pretty" (and fairly well off), so of course women flock to him. His case is FAR from typical.

I think this question is kind of insulting.

Dayclear said:

i think it insulting also....and very unkind comments. I thank God 4 Prince.

Imago said:

I'll have to agree with you on this.

i love his dinkyness, but it's not about his body but his mind (u fool)..Sexy motherfucker shakin' that ass! shakin that ass!

Man I couldn't image Prince at any kind of 6'1'', If I can't stick the brother in my Betsey Johnson purse, I can't see it! LOL!

I like him smaller. Makes him sexier--if that makes sense. Just think about that. A nice small drop of sweet butterscotch.

Now if the man was built like a freaking linebacker, it changes the fantasy completely!

Dayclear said:

The question is by no means meant to be insulting. I just wonder that if a part of his appeal would differ for some if he was taller. Would his on-stage antics and his personality be adored as much? I honestly don't think so, and I think that because of the fact that he's short, and wears those 4" stiletto boots, and struts with more swagger than I've seen on just about anybody speaks volumes. Just sayin, tho.

l totally agree here too.....
