Honestly I find it quite bland and mediocre. :confused:

Never been a fan of the guy, but what i realy cant understand is how the song "Kiss" could be a hit?? I hate that song with passion!

Prince writes good pop songs and plays guitar well.

Never heard a song by him, so can't really talk about his artistic talent. He is on my queue though. However, just the fact that I never heard of his songs maybe says a lot? But again, don't want to drag his artistic abilities until I actually listened to him.

His popularity quickly faded after the 90s. Prince is/was huge, so I assume you're very young.

I think a couple of shortish clips from concerts shows his talents overall...

Artistic people lean towards extremes...... so the facts are going to reflect that, wealth as well gives you more choices...
Don't necessary make you Happy. either.

I thought Prince was incredible, during his peak from 1980-1988 he was awesome, saw him live during the Lovesexy tour in 88, Wembley.

His decline after the 1980s was pretty damn harsh and it was such a shame. Musically speaking Prince hadn't been relevant since the late 80s so I wouldn't be surprised if the younger crowd (millennial's and Gen Z) didn't discover him until he died...
