1. Brilliant Musician, fantastic dancer, singer, arranger

His shows are spectacular.
He is a master showman.

I have been to two of his concerts and was thrilled both times.

He is kind to his audience and gives them his all.

Bravo for Prince!

4. And he's G-O-R-G-E-O-U-S

I love that androgynous thing he's got going.

sighhhhh

2. I hear he can ball

"We'll call this the shirts versus the blouses."

"Game...blouses.

[Midnight Rambler]

3. Never was a big fan

But he's a hell of a guitar player. I always give him that.

5. i saw him play a small club last year the night he made the r+r hall of

fame. everyone was melting. he's always been much better live. i find it hard listening to his studio albums. i hear, you're kidding, that's prince? all the time from the haters. i have to laugh, poor slobs only know 1999.

6. I LOVE Prince

and I think he's a genius. The man can sing, dance, masterfully play dozens of instruments and he's gorgeous to boot. After all these years, he hasn't aged a day!

9. When I was 14 or 15, I had a completely choreographed

interpretive dance for "When Doves Cry."

I was so badass.

10. Prince is a genius IMHO

He's amazing.

12. Ambiguous overhyped synthpop 'artist'.

"When Doves Cry" is okay, as is the song that MC Hammer "borrowed" to make "Pray" with, but many of his songs were/are/wil-be utter drek.

"purple rain" is utterly atrocious... and then they made a movie of it.

People loved it at the time. That counts for something too. After all, this was the 1980s. Era of Reagan and Thatcher - soulmates and the next of kin to Satan.

13. OTHER: he gives me the creeps
