Who's da biggest prince wannabe on the planet?

I say it's Andre3000 .
Everything from his style, hair and dancing to his screams music and dress sense is a blatant Prince rip off. I wouldn't be suprised if he starts screaming OOOawahh in his songs or starts playing sets at First Avenue.
He's already riding around on a very Princey looking bike

It used to be Terence Trent Diarby but now I'm pretty sure it's Andre3000

Strangely familiar, this

TTD was the biggest Prince wannabe ever, he had the look but not the talent

Yeah, Andre3000 is definitely biting Prince's style, but most artist are not totally unique. Prince is not even exempt. He took his style from Little Richard, James Brown and Jackie Wilson, so it's all good.

This is more like a scene outta the original Mothership Tour than anything P-related.

compare and contrast:



I don't mind people being influenced by Prince. I'd copy Prince if I could. Or had any music talent whatsoever.

Of course he never was . Everyone who thinks that never listened to his music or went to his shows. He is a brilliant artist in his own right and I never got it why people think he sounds so much like Prince. BTW, Prince himself was influenced by so many artists himself, so you could call him a wannabe of quite some artists.

CokeJohnson said:

Exactly!

Could this be the biggest Prince Influnce ever!!!






The similarities are amazing huh? right down 2 the frigging cane

Serious said:

ACTUALLY I remember him back when he had popularity saying that he was the NEW PRINCE and that he was going to do the same as him but on a much bigger scale - there is no doubt he wanted to be like prince...and then .....NOTHING!

Anywho, what was it with charlie Chaplin and that cane??
fucking 1920's Pimp

The artists that made the most blatant rip off of the Prince sound and look are Georgio and Micki Free. Hands down.

TTD was not a clone - he was a old school soul singer when he first hit and he is the only artist that is nearly as prolific as Prince as a songwriter, instrumentalist and showman.

LoveRobot said:

He wanted to be an artist who is allowed to release different genres of music and has control over his work and not one who tries to sell the most records by making the records record companies would want their artists to make (like Purple Rain Pt 2), that's why he respected Prince. He made brilliant albums throughout his career and still does and stayed true to himself, so all props to him

Maxwell.

singer, song writer, dancer, prince wannabe

Can anyone tell me who came up with the new romantic 18th cetury Prince look 1st.

Prince or 80's music icon Adam Ant.

By the way, Juice, your name is Mariko MOrikawa, not Mariko MArikawa.

But being as that's you and all, i'm sure you knew that.

Juice said:

As if Prince could be influenced by someone like Adam Ant....errr.....


Big Fat Fucking Adam Ant Wannabe

I always thought the look Prince had in the Raspberry Beret video made him look like a Liza Minelli wannabe







Prince life may be a Parade but it sure as hell aint no cabaret
