Honey, Prince upstaged everyone, all the time, forever and ever. Not intentionally or maliciously, but because he was Prince.

We don’t mourn artists because we knew them. We mourn them because they helped us know ourselves.

There was no one better. Period.

His songs were usually ultra-compelling live.

He had a STERLING live voice.

He played world class guitar and piano.

Also, he was a helluva dance too boot.

Oh, and he was always visually interesting.

Who could compete with all that??

Answer: No one.

Most of the women he performed with weren't any competition at all so he didn't have to upstage them. razz lol Not talking about Patti LaBelle, Chaka, etc.

Prince put women on a pedestal and never tried to upstage them but promote them, with men it may have been different.

Not sure if this would be considered "upstaging" but he completely steals the show in the video of him performing with Sheryl Crow in Toronto. He looks amazing and brings such a natural swagger to that stage that it's easy forget she is there. He isn't trying to outshine her but it just can't be helped. I guarantee it's the first thing everyone who was attendance told their friends about later.
