If you could only have one of Prince's talents/ traits what would you choose?

(guitar playing, showmanship, singing, songwriting, charm, presence, dancing ability, etc...).

I think I'd pick to be an outstanding songwriter. I'd say singer-songwriter but that would be two talents together.

The ability to make people who I don't even know fall in love with me and defend me no matter what I do.

Only his musical talents. I don't even know Prince personally to want any of his traits as a person....

I'd probably pick his guitar playing. I've tried to learn and I'm definitely not a natural.

Oh his lyricism, no question. Truly brilliant wordsmith. 'Ain't nothin' fair about welfare, ain't no assistance in AIDS. We ain't that affirmative about your actions 'till the people get paid...'

Guitar. A lot of guitar nerds dismiss him as a lightweight with bells and whistles; wish i was that kinda lightweight cus when he plays theres something cinematic about it that the nerds are obviously jealous of.

Everyone had super answers. My fav's- the ability to age slowly and to have a "love aura". No one mentioned wanting to have a great bum, though...but that is more of a physical trait I guess and not a talent.

The ability (along with a time machine) to pull birds like he did/does. Sheila E., Vanity, Apollonia, Jill Jones, Cat, Mayte, those are some killer chicks right there.

I'm just saying...
