Prince courted publicity, asking journalists to interview him and often travel with the tour. Prince was utilising(using him) the journalists innocence.

He was bang on, dang how I miss this guy. 0:46

+Sophisme Nothing Compares 2 PRINCE! No one ever will come close. I will miss him forever!!

The ONE!

Me too

Well said.

Studying scriptures probably did something

very beautifully written, la1tee1da

@whocaress no ha! That square went full circle and hit all 4 corners at the same damn time. Perhaps your appreciation for good music has limitations. This man will forever stand with all the musical geniuses from Sly and Larry Graham to Michael and Maurice White. #sillyearthling

From 1985 until his death he never had a major hit..over 30 years..like Michael Jackson long gone..thanks for the memories..

I agree! He made my heart stop.

We did.

We Lost a piece of human's soul .

He died alone that's sad 😢...wish I was with him. Damn

@@lasibaritt8320 exactly. still miss him.

Yes

true

+vegetarian simplicity People like this are rare thanks God for giving us this music!.

Amen

Thats a fact,have a lot of his music

Never.

priceless.

He is everything.

Vintage Prince.....haha!

😢

😂

+joeyenzo  I agree with you. It still feels like it was yesterday. I mean I know I'm not family or a personal friend, but the man's music got me through some life changing experiences from the end of high school with the first album through college and now. I have always talked about us being Geminis and being the same age. I guess we were classmates in a way because his music as he grew help me grow too. I'd like to also point out something he said about his music. We have to listen to his current music with the ear that he's no longer 19 or 20 or even 30. One of his famous words, "if you stay in the same place and never change, you aren't growing. I'm not that young person any more. I've grown through my music." My point, I love it all. Thanks JOEYENZO for pointing out the importance of student and teacher. Love you Prince

Beautifully said Annie. We… as fans… should miss Prince… after all… his music and his songs became intertwined into our lives over decades, so why wouldn’t we miss him terribly.

​@@JoeyBeanzLittlePrince was/is the GREATEST multi instrumentalist of all time.... PERIOD! 💜

The day he died the astrophysicists registered a massive loss of talent in the Universe.

+Felicia Williams one of my absolute fave CD EVER

soul hearted agreed 💯💔 l watch his videos every day and remember those times and where and what l was doing then. "Pure Greatness"!!❤️🎸🌹

MJ and Prince are 2 separate artists that are completely different. MJ is the classical performance artist of perfection. Prince IS music period. They are both Legend's in their own way and Spirituality is what guided them both. To think of what Prince still had left to create and unfortunately MJ was already torn apart by insecurity in self. Prince did not have an ounce of insecurity, he knew he was Legendary and MJ seemed to constantly battle with himself for a sense of self. Insecurity is worse than a loaded gun to the head.

I feel bad for you. Prince as more talent in his teeth alone compared to mjs entire being. PRN revolutionized the music industry as we knew it. Mj didnt do shit. Mj didn't even play an i instrument, while PRN play every instrument known to mankind. Mj is of Mas poco talent. You couldn't pay me enough to endure an mj talentless concert but I have literally sold everything in my room to go to the dirty mind concert. That happened...FACTUAL

@@KrissyI1973 Prince could play 28 instruments when he was a teenager. He often played all the instruments for his albums in his studio at Paisley Park in Minnesota. Prince was genuine nothing fake about Prince he kept it real. Too bad I didn’t see him in concert, but I enjoy watching the videos. A musical genius!

Prince also wrote several songs for other artists that became their number one song! His Super Bowl halftime performance in pouring rain was the best performance in a FL down pour….

@@KrissyI1973 to each his own. Live and let live.

+Phyllis Hall I hear ya. Doesn't it feels that he lives on? There is so much alertness and awareness in Prince's spirit that somehow he transcends his bodily's passing to remain with the world.

+Jarutat Snidwongse You are so right

+Phyllis Hall The big factor is also the deprivation of Prince from the mainstream media of today, the internet, for decades. Today since he's not living, there is no longer the need for him to protect his work in order to make a living. Now it really is about sharing his art. This makes him so precious, like diamond that is hidden away in the mountains that only now we just start diggin. All this media is totally new stuffs to be aired online.

me too!

Jarutat Snidwongse i must have some Prince everday. serious jones.

Anna Warner : Yes. We must GIVE Love & Value while they R still here.. Alive. I was a Prince Fan the day I saw 'Purple Rain' & brought everything I could get TWICE that same day. Tho' I've never met him, never saw him in concert, never met any of the bandmates.. same with Michael Jackson.. I did buy tons of their Music & actually saw the Jackson5 at MSG in NYC ages ago. My point is the WORLD adores our #Artists AND #People like me who truly adore them need 2 SEE them more in PERSON cause they R homegrown like us. Love is a verb. 🌎❤️⚖🎉✨

Anna Warner I did.....

Speak for yourself. I'm from Minneapolis and he was the heart and soul of our city.

Speak for yourself!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️

@@cruzpaez8047 %ff

nope michael jackson will always be the goat solo artist ✌️

spot on

The best ever better than them all Hendrix Santana Clapton Perry Lyndsey BB Van Halen Richards he was all in one & that's only on guitar next we should talk about piano & then drums

Ashfaq Aslam It is evident that you know nothing about music

Spot on brother

I think he was known for his guitar! Some may have secretly resented his talent, but he was so personable & giving, found it hard not to like him. Many of the "greats" pointed to Prince as the greatest, including Eric Clapton. He was asked once how it felt to be the greatest guitar player alive and he said "I wouldn't know, its Prince you should ask". (may not be exact words, but close) I saw a clip. He also had a phenomenal vocal range, piano & as you know dozens of other instraments. I think he grew up like many Americans, fractured family, not a lot of support or love, but in a way it fueled his desire & determination to develop his gift: love of music & entertaining. He had a fantastic sense of humor & love of life. The humor helps people like us that come from dysfunctional families get through life easier. He turned into a musical phenomenon, master entertainer, with his personality there were no others like him. I've seen many bands in concert over the years, many were awesome, gifted & very entertaining, but none were Prince. As he matured he only got bettered and that's saying a lot cuz I saw some awesome bands over the years! It still amazes (but not surprises) me how much he's affecting everyone, even after he's been gone for over a year. That says a lot about a person. He was definitely his own man, did things his way, but he shared himself with us. 💜💜 Peace. He will always be missed. At least he has his kids now.

+maggie bilkey I'm so happy this made you smile! I've been feeling quite sad since his passing as well. But he wouldn't want us to be sad. I hope you feel better

My heart is still broken that I never got to see him... I thought I had time... 💔💜

Saw him twice

Saw him twice

@@sandeegreen9176 said that twice lol

Absolutely powerful show, unfortunately since I have seen him play the bar has been raised too high!

I know right

saw him in paris 1999 bataclan astonishing

+Dirk Diggler atlanta 04/14/2016 1st show. incredible.

+ChiknThighTatorPie that's so cool I never seen him in concert that is a major regret you was lucky to c him at lease you got to see him before God call him home I can only dream of him RIP prince luv ya

Atlanta both shows are available on bootleg CDs if you want the souvenir :)

+S. Theriot I think same

me too!

You took the words out of my mouth I'm still so devastated tears never seem to stop rolling down from my eyes. Everything reminds me of him 😪💜☔️♐️🕊

S Theriot believe me you are not the only one to recognize his greatness after his death. Many people have been saying the same thing. It is sad that its only when someone dies we realise just what we have lost.

S. Theriot I think most of us feel that way. truly lost GREATNESS

I only heard in an interview he had epilepsy. At 5 he told his mother an angel came and told him he would not be sick anymore, he recalled his mother telling him. I love The Most Beautiful Girl.....dammm

Yes. We must have watched the same interview, I wish my epilepsy went away when I was young. I had to have surgery in order for it to go away...after 20 yrs....it sucked big time.😋

***** Yes it sure is same interview. Take some comfort in knowing this Genius our Prince did suffer and I am sure hoping that angel did appear to him at age of 5. I am sick to death of people on here spreading untruths b/c TMZ reported it. I hope he is with His Lord. He gave so much love to so many. Peace and Blessings to you.

Lorraine Rotundo Steele which interview was this?

I agree with Stevie. I still love my man MJ.

+Twilightchic143 One of my favorite segments

Twilightchic143 l

+Dee Star yes..he is just a small man all over...but with a big heart.

+angelina delila He once said abt his height, "Sure I'm small, but so is dynamite."

brokenwing2005 Yes, I like that!

DataBank ;)

yes I love the fact that he feels very responsible for the message he gives out for the young kids. he performed dirty mind, erotic city when he was younger he wanted every one to enjoy his concerts that you can bring your young kids to his concerts as he got older and wiser and got more into his faith. you can ring your kids to a prince concert and not have to cover their ears

he always remand true to himself as well as his Jehovah and his belief. if you want to hear dirty mind, erotic city and darling Nikki watch his younger concerts lol

I think when he was younger just like us, it was all about 22 positions in a one night stand, after that we look for love and our belief. I love the fact that he brought a lot of important issues in his final years, he will definitely be missed by all who loved him you me and all his fans, he was so amazing:)

I agree so charming just like a Prince . so sad:(

Yea but also he was a jehovah witness and a lot of stuff he couldn't say or do

+2012banksnb Very true. I guess my point is he really practiced what he preached. He wasn't fake,he didn't do one thing and say another like a lot of other celebrities.

+Cheryl Mc Crickard I agree.. that song gets me every time ... and I always end up in tears.

I'm very agree with him that's what I say everyday.

😍🌹🕊️☔😭🎶😆💞🎶🎶👼🌠☕🥞🏍️🌆🎤🎸🏆🎊🎊🎉🎉🎉🎊🎊""One of my favorite performers"" "'Missing Prince""❤️

+enmaxus His music will be alive in you. That's what he would have wanted Click here!

Yeah no doubt i agree with you but its just so sad as always it takes death,for us human beings to wake up celebrate and finally appreciate a divine master genius was walking amongst us mere mortals !!

+Suzy Six AMEN TO THAT! I was just reminiscing with a friend last night.I said " do you remember me having his RECORDS (LOL) back then and how much shit I took because of it? And she says, OMG YES!! From guys especially

>Shay Ebofin< Eloquently elegantly stated. Be Your Blessed Self ~ by any means necessary! This land is your land, this land is my land...from Minnesota...to Baltimore (Where Eye cuz bjorn). He's Black, White, Cherokee, Italian....all of us are a mixture. We are enhancing our culture by behaving as ourselves - contrary to current internet subculture! Sheeple will never lead true people, so let's not worry over immature minds. Folks will learn! Be a Peace!

...not to mention how much tho$e records are worth now: Just for fun find an actual RECORD store. Check the Price section. Everyone I've checked is EMPTY! Dust bunnies, nada! Check the online resell sights--Prices thru da roof!
