Since all of our musical legends have either passed on or on drugs is Prince "the musician" now? Use to be a time when he was considered the "weird one" but now it seems he is the only real artist/musician left. Is he carrying the music torch? I think he is-he is music for me Opinions?

Stevie's still alive too

If by "IT" you mean a clown then yeh

I'm not asking you to do anything about it, im just curious guy

i honestly dont think michael is creepy looking, do i think he should have stopped with the surgery, sure i do, as im sure he probably did too.this photo is from 2009 right before he passed, and i think he looks beautiful, if you have a different opinion please just keep it to yourself, you probably dont get it but whenever you make fun of him it really offends me and other fans.

so can we just talk about PRINCE being "it" which was what this post was intended to talk about,

thanks

To answer the question no Prince isn't the only legend still alive.

Chaka Khan

Lionel Richie

Smokey Robinson

Stevie Wonder

Madonna (She's a legend people!)

Janet Jackson

Mariah Carey (Everyone on American Idol wants to be her. If that doesn't make her a legend what does?)

R. Kelly (Big influence on R&B)

They are all still alive

whenever you make fun of him it really offends me and other fans.

well this wasn't my intent, so I apologize. but may i ask why it offends you so much? a man can have faults ya know.

Mariah Carey (Everyone on American Idol wants to be her. If that doesn't make her a legend what does?)

if thats the criteria for legend status, we have a loooooot more legends than we think

Well I'm just saying that nearly every female vocalist since either has said Mariah's an influence or tries to sing like her. I was just emphasizing

Legends of Prince's caliber still alive?

lots. And all for different reasons. Everyone has something unique to offer. That's what makes them legends.

Paul McCartney

Keith Richards and Mick Jaggar

Stevie Wonder

Madonna

Bruce Springsteen

Bono

..to name but a few.

But I would wager big money that all of these legends would rate Prince pretty high on the ladder and would say straight up that Prince is legend among legends. I would say that matters a lot more than kids who say Justin Beiber made them pregnant.

are we forgetting bowie? and Aretha Franklin?

i know that michael had his faults, we all do..but when it comes to things like his face,its one thing to say he should have stopped with the surgery, but to down right call him creepy and other names, its just not neccissary. but apology excepted friend,

Hahaha at least uuhson is sane, rational. And did that one dude say he had his friends over then , say say say they were like 6 BOYS and 4 GIRLS WOWWW LOL . No wonder ur a mj fan. Ur friends arent even grown ups . Do u have an amusement park in ur front yard also to lure ,,,, well lets stop there u all get the picture .

i am not a grown up either? im 17.. like i have said in previous post, im not argueing, if you dont like michael, oh well its your loss.. it doesnt affect me any..

and the real question is are you a "grown up" because your typing like an 11 year old girl updating there facebook status..

on top of that your on a post that is about prince and the only things you have posted so far are about MJ.

^

what a scary guy.

Too bad cuz he was really good looking in 1982.

MJ RIP.

Wow folks really need to stop disrespecting the dead in this thread it's uncalled for and please don't turn this into an MJ thread it's about Prince and his relevancy in today's music.

i wasnt purposely trying to disrespect anyone, but just because someone's dead it doesnt mean we have to pretend their lives were different

there was bad blood between Prince fans and MJ fans, and these threads Prince vs. MJ will always be mean.

this subject alone "Prince vs MJ" makes some people go irritated, - cuz it is discussed to death.

whatever it doesn't bother me,

let's face it, those 2 were the most influental in the 1980s.

But of course Prince was the most important of the 2.

He, Prince, has released a lot more brilliant albums than MJ,

MJ did only release two great albums in that decade, the 80s.

Prince from Dirty Mind to >Lovesexy, he was just unstoppable.

whatever.....

uuhson said:

again, im not talking about musical ability or what not. i'm not trying to offend anyone, i understand you guys idolize him. but do you really find his face hes made after all these surgeries pleasent/pleasing/normal?

Of course what MJ did to himself is wasn't normal...His face was completely disfigured when he died. He had no nose for Christ's sake.

This is an UNDERSTATMENT! Check out YT. Some are absolute LUNATICS with this old worn out and TIRED MJ vs. Prince garbage. It's old, tired, and played out!

this thread kinda reminds me of the scene in clerks 2 where theyre talking about the lord of the rings. you guys take things way too personal, asif you were married to MJ or something

If you look carefully MJ actually looks pretty sickly. MJ was always a tall and very slender guy but he's way too frail looking in this picture which gives him a rather sickly appearance. No offense meant but it turned out to be fatally true.

They are Lunatics! Weather or not Michael and Prince disliked or liked each other, we will never know! At least not from Michael. Maybe, just maybe one day Prince will tell his side of the story. But it seems to me that they had a heatlhy rivality back in the 80s, but it doesn't mean they "disliked" each other. Prince did play a few Michael's songs after he died, so I highly doubt that he did not like or did not respected Michael. Seriously, some Prince fans (Wally) want to prove that Prince hated Michael by posting shit that Prince said or did MANY years ago. Prince may come accross full of himself sometimes, but I know he is NOT a mean spirited person at all! So Wally stop using Prince to prove your stupid hate fantasies!

I've asked for a lock on this thread cuz for the life of me I can't understand how a good discussion about prince became a let's degrade mj thread-sad.

It's for the best, but it really is such a SHAME!

Let me guess--this thread started out as a thread dedicated to Prince until someone brought up that old MJ comparison. It strikes a RAW NERVE. People get offended and start BASHING. It's happened a million times. People hate the MJ vs. Prince topic.
