Besides the amazing Music.....

His rags to riches story

his flare

his personality

His beliefs

His determination

His humor

The music. I really don't care for much else. I probably wouldn't be a fan if it was based on anything else.

His out-of-this-world confidence. I love how Prince broke boundaries and made people realize that you can't judge a book by its cover. I love how he is who he is and you either like it, love it, or leave it. In my case, I love it, always have. Becoming a Prince fan was very liberating for me...really inspired me and made me feel like I could do anything. Of course, his music is amazing, I can listen to it all day and not really need any other music. Add the fact that Prince is drop dead gorgeous and oh-so-sexy..and you have a devoted fan for life! biggrin

Prince is GORGEOUS. I'm inspired. GOD is GREAT. Is there anything else to say? lol

This verse made me a true fan:

I don't wanna be a poet
'Cuz I don't wanna blow it
I don't care 2 win awards
All I wanna do is dance
Play music sex romance
And try my best 2 never get bored

It spoke the true sentiment of who he was as an artist.

cool Wow! Where do I begin? I was 10yrs old when I became a fan. At 1st I would have to say it was his sexiness.Now that I have grown older I have come to appreciate his ability to keep his unique creativity and individuality and never change just for the sake of what other artist do. He is also a smart busineeman who owns his own masters and has encouraged other artist to do the same.All in all I must say he is a musical genius.

You mean the first thing, right?

His triumph over a tumultuous home life (at least, as I saw it in the Purple Rain film at age 13). I already loved the music, but this cemented it for me. He kinda became my 'imaginary big brother', there.

PRINCE: the only man who could wear high heels and makeup and STILL steal your woman!

First thing, he was pretty, then I found out he had a quiet sexiness about him, then he opened his mouth and sung, danced, and played. All in that order.

Yes, at 19, I finally saw the Revolution, a legendary band. And I talked to Wendy!!! biggrin In addition to seeing Prince, I have now lived life. Thank you Purple People!!

His looks, his music/voice, his ability to play instruments, but most of all his individuality.

We could have big fun 💜

Listening to "Soft and Wet" on the radio, the beat drove me nuts, and that voice(s), what a journey. Then there was that cover on 'RIGHT ON' magazine! What ? No band? I was so in love

I love the whole package.

I wish I was in a room with him 1 on 1.

So I could pick his brain, for his knowledge.eye

For me:

the '80s output (both released and unreleased)

HIs work ethic

& his sheer determination to do things his way

At first I liked him because of his music. I would not call myself a fan but I liked his well known hits (Kiss, When Doves Cry..etc.)

Next, I was impressed and intrigued when I realized how many instruments he can play. The art of being a true musician is lost in today's music.

Finally I became a fan when I watched a live performance by him. I was at the edge of my seat, singing and dancing watching his live performance.

So I became a fan when I realized that he is a great singer, musician and performer. Oh yeah and the fact that he looks just as good at the age of 52 as he did at 20.

I was 16 years of age in 1984. Here in the UK I could see that Prince stood out from everyone else: Purple Rain: The imagery, the performances, the band, proteges.

: his musicianship both live and in the studio were unique and as I delved into Prince's back catalogue the more I began to realise this guy was/ is something extraordinary. cool
