Ok, what the f*ck are you on??? Please!!! Just say NO!!!

A statement from someone who is obviously on serious drugs or who has never heard "Damn U", "La La La La Means I Love U", "The Most Beautiful Girl In The World", and believe me, that's just to name a few...there are far too many Prince recordings that clearly demonstrate the depths of his vocal capabilities to list them all here.

Topic response:

In my honest opinion, I believe that had there been in American Idol show in 1978, before Prince became the man and star that I adore, he would have lost, 1st round. Certainly not because of lack of talent, but simply because the average television viewing public, was not ready to embrace Prince. They would not have been able to get beyond the wayyy too sexy long hair, and mascara. So whatever clean cut, dudley-do-right type would have been chosen over His Royal Badness. However, if it were judged on talent regardless of appearance, the creative and musical genius that resides within that man's soul would not have been denied.

... what would the judges think of him?? Would he make it to the finals and win it??


If they're just looking for Justin Timberlake wannabees, does that answer your question?

While I'm thinking of it, does anyone have examples of stars or bands who were rejected and turned down by labels who then went on to accomplish what was said they couldn't?
I believe I read once that the Beatles were rejected. Also Prince himself at first. I think I read that Bryan Adams was rejected and he had rejected songs that eventually became hits.




Alot of people lost on the 1990s show "Star Search" and went on to "winning" careers. Alanis Morissette, Destiny's Child, LeAnn Rimes, Christina Aguilera, Dennis Miller, Brad Garrett, Drew Carey, Martin Lawrence and Ray Romano walked away from "Star Search" empty handed.

Please don't make me listen to that song again! Seriously, though. I love Prince's falsetto. That other stuff don't do it for me.

Me, too, but if Prince didn't bring along his geetar, he wouldn't make it past the auditions. He ain't a good singer.


Are we talking about the same Prince? There's not a singer in the competition who could sing The Most Beautiful Girl In the World.
This may be another Prince blasphemy but I hate The Most Beautiful Girl in the World. In my opinion, there are way better singers than Prince.


ok, how about the vocal work on

- Adore
- Pink Cashmere
- How Come U Don't Call Me Anymore
- Damn U
- I Hate U
- Soul Sanctuary
- La, La, La Means I Love You
- A Case Of U
- Somebody's Somebody

to name a few - I can't see anyone in the competition pulling those off either.
Mostly Prince falsettos. No problems with those. Damn U-I have always hated that damn song. The way his voice goes up and down. La, La, La-sorry, the song was fine the way it was. A Case Of U-I truly dig that song.

I don't smoke, drink, or indulge in any drug except music. It's my one escape. The three songs you mention, sorry, P's voice doesn't do anything for me on those tracks. Pink Cashmere, Adore, I Can't Make You Love Me...yes, yes,yes!When P's not singing in a falsetto, it's my opnion, he doesn't have a good singing voice. Highlight: my opinion.
