Now having read the plot and script excerpts I totally understand why Prince rejected it and I'm glad he did. That was just terrible, even by The Simpsons' low bar standards. I knew from the start that I loved you with all my heart. | |

I think it would've been a classic. Just like every other superstar guest episode. But alas, Prince's ego getting in the way of good decisions. But it's what it is. |

Nixing this was the smartest thing Prince ever did. We don’t mourn artists because we knew them. We mourn them because they helped us know ourselves. | |

yeah, well...who had the "final say" on the Simpsons episode where Prince was "killed by the illuminati"??? I can't see him giving the go-ahead on the either | |

He should have done it. It shows that he is human, has a sense of humor, and does not get tripped up on his own ego. It's all clean fun. |

Prince had a sense of humor about himself and everyone said he was very funny. My guess is he felt that it was not funny but more mocking and he was playing second fiddle to MJ something he did his whole carreer. | |

Well, of course he wasn't going to play a character first played by Michael Jackson. Duh. | |

No doubt, it could have worked, but alas, we'll never know. Would have been great to see my favorite musician on my favorite show. | |

I always thought that's what the music was for. I knew from the start that I loved you with all my heart. | |

Love SImpsons, but there is no way Prince would play second fiddle to MJ |

Prince rejected The Simpsons and also Wierd Al Yankovic. It was his choice,we probably didnt miss much | |

Yeah, because that Muppets appearance... "Climb in my fur." | |

The Muppets was kinda corny. Was that before or after he lost his child? RIP P | |

Prince never played second fiddle to Mj or any artist. Prince knew how to make number 1s by the time he released Prince. Prince couldve had a number 1 hit song for every album,he was a true artist who went where his musical aspirations took him. Mj constantly seeked out to make number 1s and was successful. I have great admiration for both artists. | |

. Yeah, I always wondered how Prince felt about that.
