    Aminata. D Koroma Nope... one of the greatest. However, Michael Jackson is the greatest. Prince was great for a period and then started make 10 bad albums in a row. While MJ albums always hits and sold to the very end.

    There was NO Entertainer/Showman/Vocalist/Artist/Musician/Songwriter like Prince who btw self taught himself 23 different instruments starting with the Piano that he taught himself when his father grounded him for 6 weeks. His vocals are immeasurable (singing both Opera and Soprano) he certainly was a crowd pleaser and wanted all his fans to feel involved with his shows, and that he always delivered. You were always at a party at his shows. "Nothin but a party going on here" .. "We got too many hits".. "We're gonna be here all night long" .. "With no lip syncing" .. "And with real musicians" "How many ppl.know bout the quake" "We do"!! But in reality, Prince prided himself the most as being a great band leader. There was nothing he couldn't do, he was a brilliant, brilliant genuis. So masterful. I miss him every-day and I am a big MJ fan BTW. But "No One Compares To You" 💜 PRINCE 💜

    If you are expecting a genius/specially gifted or a highly creative individual who you admire to THINK like you or ACT like you, I have NEWS for ya... SURPRISE!!!🤪🤪🤪 That individual would be most likely a NON-artist and certainly NOT be a GENIUS!😔😔 It's that very ''different thinking'' that makes that individual who they are! WEIRD IS BEING TRULY YOURSELF! Miles Davis said...That's the real definition of weird! As a result of being ''WEIRD'' the crowd can never figure out why you are boldly independent of them!

    For all of you wondering why PRINCE DID NOT HAVE A WILL.... IT WAS IN THE CONTRACT THAT HE SIGNED OTHERWISE HE WOULD HAVE LEFT IT TO SOMEONE TO INHERIT SLEEP PEOPLE PLEASE WAKE UP!! You can leave whatever you earned from sponsorship of a particular brand that’s your money but anything earned from your music.... you get a cut or share from the proceeds but most of it goes to your Record Company that signed you..... are you up to speed yet?

    I thought the same thing when I found out he died on the elevator. I immediately thought of the Let's Go Crazy verse. That is why I also can't stand Gael, I wish I was Opray. He told her something in private and she felt she needed to say it. I would never tell her anything but she will keep Oprah's secrets hypocrite

    I guess that's another theory. Here's another: God is in charge. God is in all. Stop giving power away to the dark. Sure, it will crash, partly because of the divine timing involved. A whole bunch of clairvoyants and mediums have been interfacing with his consciousness since he's passed. His work, through his seed (which he has had many) seem to just be lifting off. I believe he lives more strongly in the 4th and perhaps the 5th dimensions, where many may be headed. Check out simulation theory and check out some of the reads at Higher Self on You Tube. Much is underway and the NWO ain't got everything to do with it. Prince was Starseed...Google that, Neemoe Cash.
