may i ask how prince became such a music legend? his singing stinks which is why he was in the lip sync scandal years ago right? and the dumb stunts?? the artist formerly known as prince?? like the artists formerly known as jimi hendrix? could you imagine real music legends playing his dumb games? purple rain makes no sense yet it's an awesome song?? why?? sounds like pop tart stuff? i would really like to know how prince and madonna for that matter became such legends??? i'm embarrassed for my generation if this is our contribution to great music...

I'm with you. I don't get it. At all. He just is average to me. Maybe he dared to go where other musicians wouldn't. OK, maybe it's a matter of taste. But I can't fathom why anyone would think he is sexy. I don't think he is tall enough to get on a ride as Disney Land. Not that I don't love the short men, just not him.

I like his music. He has a unique voice, but I don't think it's bad. There are a lot worse singers than him. There are plenty of other popular musicians whose popularity I don't understand.
I don't remember hearing about Prince being accused of lip syncing.
The name change thing was weird, but I later heard it had something to do with a contract dispute with his record company, he couldn't release albums under the name Prince for some reason. Not sure of the details.
