woman.

that would be interesting. I'd listen to him then, would love to hear how that dirty mind worked as a woman!

'If I came back as Madonna, would you listen to me then?'

I'm not sure I would, but the media might...

Walkman

Anji, that's just not fair.

The only thing really similar is that they are both recording artists. But, the musical and lyrical direction that PRINCE and MADONNA share are in different worlds.

Hats off 2 both!

p.s.
It would be great 2 hear another duet from them...wishfull thinking...

Progression.

No other pair of long-term artists have re-invented themselves so often and so successfully.

Prince has generally done it in an artistic way, Madonna in a more stylistic way, but the progression thing is the key thing they have in common compared to most other artists.

Up until recently, overt sexuality and flirting with religious concepts was also a common theme; but recently prince has abandoned the sex and hardened his religious views, so that they are now very different.

And finally they are both icons who have never compromised, which is increasingly rare in the american music world. they do their own thing right or wrong, popular or not, and they are both to be admired for that.

Mainly superficial.

Prince is a weirdo artist... Madonna is normal popstar/businesswoman...

they both look great 4 their age also!!!1

they both can be found on the song entitled "LOVE SONG"

they both are more than poor!!!

Madonna is now gonna take a different direction and has the attitude of, "fuck the music industry". she might start turning more into what prince started doing.

that too

What similarities?

Anji said:

...illusions only last 'til the scene is through. As PM Dawn wrote...

The similarities are endless. I won't delve into it for lack of time. My brother and I have probably spent the equivalent of days talking about this. lol

Mhm. I'll get back with a more detailed analysis. You've got me thinking now.

:O

She's infiltrated into the Prince:Music And More forum now.



Can her accolites still be stopped?

Will she take over the entire org?

Does Guy Ritchy still know how to direct a decent flick?

Will Lourdes come out of the garden shed again?

And will Rocco get his flue shot?



Tune in next week, same time, same Madgeness.

Both artists were signed to Warner Bros.

Both artists experienced their greatest success around the same time (1984/85).

Both artists use overt sexuality in their work.

Both artists also use religion/spirituality in their work.

Both artists run their own record labels.

They are the same age.

Both artists have done movies.Their first films were very successful ('Purple Rain','Desperately Seeking Susan'),but follow-up films were flops.

Both artists are known for cleverly re-inventing themselves,probably moreso than anyone else in pop music.

I don't But if pressed, ummm...

both wore too much makeup in the 80's?

We all know Anji means David Bowie, not Mafrickindonna.

Anji said:

GIT!

They both are hard working artist(s). They both were big sellers in the mid 80's. They both started their own labels. Warner Bros. signed them to big contracts. They done a duet together. They both have explored in acting. The difference is Madonna is a better business person then Prince.

Well I guess that outweighs Prince being a better guitarist than Madonna
