like when he wore women clothes this past spring but to be fair the designer said she was inspired by michael anyways rock that balmain MJ The first and last pictures are cool. The first one does not look even feminine because of the suit, but the middle one is terrible, but it´s the last, or one-but-last picture of Mike alive.

Because, alas, apparently it's still the 1950's "...and If all of this Love Talk ends with Prince getting married to someone other than me, all I would like to do is give Prince a life size Purple Fabric Cloud Guitar that I made from a vintage bedspread that I used as a Christmas Tree Skirt."

No contest. MJ wins this. Why? Slumber parties. Petting zoos. His giggle-esque manner of speaking. Bashful/coy/shy whatever he's doing that seems like a school girl introducing herself to a possible beau. All rather feminine.
Prince isn't feminine, he's just not the same kind of man as Rambo. He's not big, so he's not gonna win any points by overstating his manliness. Think about it; if Prince dressed and behaved like DMX, would you think it was fitting? Hell, if he dressed like R. Kelly would it even look/seem right? The man is rather small, so he tends to wear clothing that best suits that frame. I'm a woman who WISHES she could pull of the hairstyles, the clothes (maybe not the assless pants); and lord knows he can walk in heels better than many a woman walking this Earth today. (Including myself, damn. LOL) So if Prince has better hair, clothes, and shoes than I do (which he does) I can't hate. I can only lust after it (figuratively) because he's gorgeous. But I can also say I'm attracted to him for those same things. It makes him that much more exciting because he's not regular and doesn't attempt to be. Yet he's not WEIRD. Now, I never got into MJ for the very opposite reason. Dude was super weird to me. Another determining factor is that he actually seemed like a woman to me. And I've never been into women because I always swore I'd marry a man like Prince, or the man himself. Hahaha1 Alas, I find myself completely in awe of his beauty and brilliance. I enjoy hearing his speaking voice as much as any song because that low rumble is enough to start a war in me. God I love his deep register. (That does not sound right.) Adding more to the already intense attraction is that the man can pen a song that stirs my soul, and if looks could kill I'd have died a thousand times. That could be a personal problem, but I don't get that from the boys carrying purses or piercing God knows what. Not so much masculine as he is more pronounced as a man. (And he can grow facial hair. And you've seen his chest, Prince is definitely the man.) Again, I could be SUPER biased, but MJ screams female to me.

That's the kind of comment I've always heard from boys/men who aren't fans of Prince's art. Considering the perspectives of these non-fans many of us know, the question should be: "Who physically looked more effeminate?" That is certainly Prince. Michael may have worn heavy cosmetics and extended/permed/curled hair (like Prince and any other androgynous rocker), but he dressed, walked, danced, and even ran (LOL) like a masculine man. And regarding Michael's light speaking voice, people should remember: Prince had a soft, high-pitched speaking voice also. That voice, as well as his timid presence behind a mic while talking in front of people, was just as "girly" as some of you think Michael's was. Prince's extremely deep speaking voice didn't come out in public until the 90s. "You put water into a cup, it becomes the cup...Now water can flow or it can crash. Be water, my friend." - Bruce Lee

As for me Michael was looking quite masculine in his early years than some other singers... Do you know where the best avatars ? | |

Oh Please! Prince has many more sissified photos than MJ does. Prince fans defend prince's choice in the clothes he wears, and how he allows himself to be photographed. It's not an act.
If Prince wasn't the superstar, just a plain joe walking around looking like that, he'd be labeled at the very least a transvestite, and none of you would care to hang with him. MJ as well I can be a true friend, or a worthy adversary. The choice is yours. | |
