I think the number one fan could own nothing but appreciate everything they've heard. | |

I know for sure that I'm the biggest Prince fan/admirer (whatever) out of all of my friends and people I know personally.
However, next to most of you, I pale in comparison. I have to have some balance in my life. I have to listen to more than just Prince musically (even if I listen to more Prince than anything else). I have to watch lots of movies, see theatre, read books, watch tv, be artistic. I can't live in a Prince cocoon. My guess is that whoever considers him/herself the biggest Prince fan has a whole room devoted to him, collects everything no matter the cost, travels around the country to see him, spends thousands of dollars a year on him. Personally, that's living for someone else, not yourself... ...or maybe I'm just jealous because you have more money and time than me...LOL At any rate, I'll bow out of this race, but not without saying that I'm a BIG FAN!!!

Im obesessed. But i would not follow him on every single tour and spend the night outside paisley and all that shit...that's going to far.
I do have MOST everything (except for One Nite Alone). Hmm, im missing some single cd's and lots o remixes. I dont know. I'd probably be in the top 50 somewhere. Now ask Ricco and Rose... WOOH! Straight Jacket Funk Affair
Album plays and love for vinyl records. | |

I second that Anxiety, and confirm that I am the biggest Prince fan ever and do indeed appreciate everything I have ever heard!!! –and I have unconditional respect for him ... No, I don't own every Prince item in the world, but I have been collecting magazine and newspaper clippings/articles for the last 20 years (I'm 28), I even made a business sized card with the symbol on it so that I didn't have to pronounce his name during that weird period of time (yes I was a bit obssessed/crazy) I've only seen him once in concert (ONA and will see him in August in Boston) because I lived in a small canadian town far from cities where he would play, was poor and too young to travel by myself... If I was VERY wealthy, I would travel any distance to see him. | |

who here is the biggest or #1 fan of prince?
Your name: I changed my name legally to 1) why do u think so? Because I bought the master tapes of New Power Soul. 2)what all do u have of prince? I would like to think that I have his undivided attention at our upcoming court date... stalker, shmalker... 3)how many concerts did u attend? All of them. But security won't let me in no more. 4)how far would u go 2 be with or seen with Prince? I took a job as a Chanhassen Domino's delivery person, hoping for my big break. Then Prince went vegan... 5)If prince died today, what would u do to honor him? I would put my headphones on, crank up "Uptown" and set myself on fire in the middle of Calhoun Square If prince.org were to be made idiot proof, someone would just invent a better idiot. | |

Thanks for the laughs, arguments and overall enjoyment for the last umpteen years. It's time for me to retire from Prince.org and engage in the real world...lol. Above all, I appreciated the talent Prince. You were one of a kind. | |

I totally agree...going "on tour" with Prince is very fanatical, and downright
scary...and isn't a good barometer of one's level of loyalty, but rather a measure of their "FANdom". Having said that... I HEREBY DECLARE...."AIN'T NOBODY BAAAD LIKE ME"...I'm the biggest fan I know! Thanks for the laughs, arguments and overall enjoyment for the last umpteen years. It's time for me to retire from Prince.org and engage in the real world...lol. Above all, I appreciated the talent Prince. You were one of a kind. | |

If I was VERY wealthy, I would travel any distance to see him. hehehe the business card idea reminds me of that hillarious episode of The Muppets where they just kept flashing up the card everytime they refered to him... I only went as far as refering to him as 'The Artist' on these threads, and whenever I spoke of his music I've always called him Prince. I don't think we can ever find the #1 fan, where do U draw the line between apreciation and obsession? I'm sure some ppl have done some very weird things. As for me, well... I'm just crazy about the music. -"If U don't like,

i'd be rather suspicious of someone who claimed numero uno status -- what, cuz they got the most 'stuff,' or had been to 353 concerts? what about those of us who have done that goddamned 'ride of shame' to paisley too many times...only to find an empty parking lot (besides a couple of other peoples trying to will a late-nite concert out of p?). yet that doesn't make us any more legit than the 12 year old who just got musicology -- never knew p. before 2000 -- and think he's the bee's knees.
so, in other words, i'm not the #1 fan of prince, and definitely ain't the biggest -- i only stand 5'10" at 160 pounds. he's my boy, and we are all FAMily -- not FANatics -- i hope... oh, by the way, i'm his 7th fan. | |

I'm a big fan - have all of the official releases either in official copy on CD and vinyl or CD-R.
I have a few boots...Revelations...some live stuff...I'd get more if I could get my hands on it. I have a good friend on the org who's been helping me out though. No, I'm not the biggest fan, but I appreciate 95% of what he's done, so that makes me a big fan. | |

I'm so obsessed by Prince that I keep getting collogen injections in my head so that it grows so enormous I look like him. When I read about the evils of drinking, I gave up reading. | |

Realistically, I'd say I'm in the top 500. There are a hell of a lot of obsessed people out there! I've only been to 3 concerts, all in May/June this year while I was on holiday in the USA. If I lived in he US or UK earlier, God only knows how many shows I would have attended. When I was living in Brisbane, Australia, I'd guess I was in the top 5 for Brisbane. Now in London, I'd guess top 20 for London.

It isnt me, thanks goodness! I dont wanna be a loopy "fam"!! I am a huge fan for sure but I havent crossed that line yet. I lost most of my Prince stuff in a fire about a month ago so all I have is 6 Musicology cds! I used to have The Black Album when it came out but I lost it when I was a kid. I hung up a poster once but my boyfriend punched a hole in it because he was jealous. I met him a few times and he's not really the nicest person but he's Prince so I guess he can do that! I've been to a lot of shows, not sure how many but defiantely more than 100, probably close to 200 if you count Paisley Park. I think it's too expensive to be the biggest fan! | |
