    I like how Prince "warms up" through interviews. He always starts very quiet, softly spoken, calm, monotone, then later on he opens up, becomes more lively, more smiles, his voices becomes louder and more expressive. Having an interviewer that he really likes helps with this a lot! What an absolute legend Prince is. We are so lucky to have interviews like this available.

    And two of the MOST talented by far! However, I love MJ, my first album was the Jackson 5 and he was my first crush, and they were both child prodigies, but Prince didn’t have the might of Motown behind him. Prince had to do it all himself, he taught himself to play multiple instruments, he and Jimmy Page are neck and neck for GOAT guitarist. He almost never covers other people’s, unless they’re iconic songs. I could go on and on, so Prince is a musical genius, in the vein of Mozart, and I doubt Mozart worked as har. Thank you sweet Prince for all you’ve given to to the world!

    I miss him so much it hurts. To me? Real music died with him. There will never ever ever be anyone like Prince who did what he did. Who thought of us as his family and loved us as much as we love him. He taught us it was ok to be different and break the rules. To go at something with everything we have inside. All of us have some type of talent. I am so thankful, grateful and humbled to have been on stage with our musical iconic genius. Wrapped in his arms and pulled tightly to his chest. He smelled like lavender and musky male. When we pulled back, he looked directly into my eyes and as much as it made me squirm as It felt he could see right into me? I wanted to jump into and swim in his warm and wide dark eyes. He patted my bottom as he still had me around the waist. I remember thinking, he speaks with his eyes.. He grabbed a hold of my hand and proceeded to drag me around stage like a rag doll. It was my birthday and he saw the sign above my head from my friend behind me. I was was lifted up on my other friends shoulders as I am quite short. Security saw and I was terrified from recent trauma and I heard someone yelling "Hey Birthday Girl!" I turned to look and it was Prince! He had my friend move to where he was at and Prince grabbed me and yanked me so hard that I ended up slamming into him and we both almost went over and that is how I ended up wrapped in his arms! When he walked me back to go off stage, he whispered in my ear, that there are no birthdays and no aging to worry about. That time didn't exist. Gave me another one of those long knowing stares, this time a serious one. Kissed my hand and my face and nudged me back off stage. A night I will never forget.

    Lawd Have Mercy! U had an experience that most people dream about that actually happened!!! U should thank ur friend 4 lifting u up! I was Blessed 2 c Prince 7 times. The closest was at a wrecka stow in Atlanta promoting the Symbol Album in 92 w/The NPG & Mayte. I was about 5ft away from the small stage. He played 5 songs w/snippets from the album which was awesome bcuz the tickets to the 2 shows at The Fox Theater sold out in 1hr!. I asked 4 & got the only poster w/Prince & The NPG w/Mayte. It was the back drop they were playing in front of. As Prince left in his limo he threw a lollipop out the window that my friend I was with almost caught!(darn it!) Such Good Times😊! A Blessing u met our Beloved Prince! A memory to treasure! God dont make those type of molds anymore. Prince was w/out a doubt at his best w/his music & style! One Of The Most Beautiful Artist who ever walked( in heels😊). He is truly missed💜(+>

    I don't believe to this day that Prince took and overdose. I truly believe those pills with major amounts of fentanyl was a set up. I truly believe he was dooped intentionally with those pills. Make it make sense!!! If he was taking pain meds for the pain in his hip, I'm assuming his physician subscribed them first. Prince was a smart man and its on film Prince going inside the doctor office and he wrote a prescription for 15 pain killer, and the next day he's dead from an overdose of fentanyl. So was the fentanyl in the 15 the doctor prescribed. 🤔 I don't feel Prince took 15 pills in that short period of time, and then started taking the pills that caused his death. So he took pills from the street pain killer, and not the ones from the pharmacy. Make it Make sense!!! It just seems a bit shady to me. RIP!!! Money and the abuse of power🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔Make you think. Prince was way too self conscious about his health to be taking drugs "from street" Pharmaceutical. It's just unbelievable 😳. He was moved out the way, because he was on his shit when it came to his music rights.

    I was thinking the same. He rarely laughed in front of camera so loud, directly from his heart. You can see genuine heart in his laugh, I don't know..there is some goodness and even tenderness which was often covered by his seriousness used for the public eye. Hearing this laugh seemed as a moment he let go of ,,the mask'' when unconsciously giving to us a glimpse of relaxed, more innocent and sweet part of himself.💜🌟

    There are plenty of times that Prince has shown his comedic side. He appeared several times on the Jay Leno Show. Prince and Jay kept playing pranks on one another. Prince even pretended to be a repairman who came to fix Jay's chair. Prince appeared on The Muppets Show. In one funny skit Prince was dressed like a farmer and was talking and singing a funny song with a country accent about cows. In the same show he sung his song Starfish and Coffee.Which was also a funny light hearted song. Then there's also a video on one of his songs from his Emancipation album called "Face Down". Its a humorous song and he's making funny faces in the video. Then there was the movie "Under The Cherry Moon". Prince had some funny scenes in that as well. In of his concerts he light heartly making jokes about one of the musicians in his band.

    Prince will always be my favorite musician of all time. I can't believe we were so blessed to have had this incredibly talented brilliant intelligent man when we did on this Earth. The day he died I was in so much grief of losing this amazing genius when we did. Growing up back in the eighties I was teased so much for being a shy timid small girl. Prince taught me so much that it was alright to be myself and I didn't have to be anyone else but me. I always loved music and all kinds of music from rock, funk, jazz, blues, soul, r&b, rap, hip hop, dance, electronica, punk, new wave, metal, alternative and classical. Prince could play almost every genre of music and play every instrument put into his hands. Seeing him in concert the couple of times I did was like a religious experience. I grew up in a very strict Roman Catholic environment, going to Mass every Sunday with my daddy but I never felt the closeness to the God center as when I was listening to his music or seeing this genius in concert. We are never going to get another visionary genius like Prince for a very long time to come. In all my pain of losing my parents early, going though my rough teenage years and my mom being severely mentally ill. Prince's music healed me so much emotionally and mentally. For all of this, I know the greatest music genius in my humble opinion is with God and blessing God's Kingdom with the incredible music he gifted this world with. For this I will always love Prince.

The only place we heard Cream, then Stevie Wonder, then the Beatles, then Marvin Gaye, then Johnny Cash, throw in Barbra Streisand, on and on. I miss Prince so much. I'm grateful I can listen to him forever.

    The world just went weird after Prince left us. Who else could make the color purple known all across the globe? That is to say that everyone thinks of Prince and his beautiful music and artistry when they see the color purple. Quite an amazing feat if you ask me. Nobody else has accomplished that. He is a legend, an icon, a genius, and he provided the soundtrack to my life as a teenager in the 80's. He always referred to us as his friends and not his fans. Nothing compares to you, Prince. I love you.

I was also so blessed to see him several times in the Purple 🟣 Circle ALWAYS.LOL...I wasn't able to hug him. But, ONLY his music does that to me. It’s a warm blanket. Only he can bring every emotion out of me. Forever Loved, 🫶🏼💜🕊️

    I was amused by Prince freely admitting that he has a mean side to his personality. I knew a couple of people who were associated with him, and they did attest that he did indeed have a dark side and could be an asshole at times. Nevertheless, he was one of the greatest musical geniuses to ever walk this planet and we will probably never see his like again. RIP.

    I think he needed that too. Maybe in the form of talk therapy. I think anyone who has an addiction of any kind has tough emotional wounds usually from childhood. We have to turn to the God of all comfort with our pain as well as practical help toward healing. Speaking from experience, it is unfamiliar for us to turn to God when we hurt. We want immediate relief because the pain is so deep. I think that's why Prince kept going back to the pain pills. He already had Jesus and also could have used therapy to talk it out in confidentiality. Our parents have done things that permanently scar us and that pain is real.
