Lol. They said sexy never left because Prince's music was known for that. The style in which he sang, also he was controversial and he talked about sex. I can't believe that I have to explain this but anyway. Justin's new cd emulates Prince's style so much that Prince could sue him for it and win. Some of the songs are similar to Prince's songs. It's worse than when Justin copied Michael because the songs sound like Prince's. Queen could sue as well for the Futuresex lovesounds song because he took the beat of one of their songs (it's in the baseline) and he is singing in Freddie's style. MTV accused him of copying Prince already. Justin said that Prince and Queen were an influence on the album but I think it goes beyond influence. They could make a case against him. But I doubt they will. They are far too legendary to care.

Prince is an a**hole, I remember at the Oscars when he presented the best song award to Jorge Drexler (something like that). When Jorge went up Prince looked annoyed and when Jorge grabbed Prince's hand he made a face like saying "don't touch me I'm so above you".

Anyway, Prince hasn't had a hit in like 10 years, so I don't know why he's saying it never left since no one cared about him for these last few years. Now he’s insulting popular artists to get attention

^Blasphemy!!! Anyway, someone who doesn't listen to the legends on a regular basis would say something like that so I won't hold it against you. But you should respect those who paved the way for the artists that you like now a little more. & the statement you made about him not having a hit in 10 yrs. isn't true. He's doing much better than his rival Michael Jackson.

I wouldn't call peaking in the 60s and 70s of the hot 100 hits.

I can't believe this. I'm not going to argue this because there's no need to defend a legend. His reputation precedes him. Enough said.

I can't believe you don't care when people act like a**hole just because they're legends. I know my girl Mariah is a Diva but she's always nice to her fans and the people around her, unlike Prince who makes Mariah seem modest.

^Believe it because I don't care. It has nothing to do w/ the quality of their music. My cousin used to be the exec. producer of the Apollo in the 80s when Sinbad hosted so she spent some time with some of the legends. According to her, both Whitney and Mariah are terrible people and were very hard to work with. That's no reason for me not to be a fan of their music.They can b!tch all they want. As long as they put out good music. You have to understand that most legends act like that and always have.

I get your point, you like his music, but must you really defend his behavior?

PANCOSNIC

First of all the article comes from Contact Music who lies more than Wikipedia so it probably isn't true like I previously stated. Secondly I could care less how he acts. But I do find it amusing when people are obnoxious.

i get the joke

, Youngin? lmfao, i wish i was young again

.. IMO, his music was never any good.. nor are his looks. and it wasn't even a joke, because jokes are meant to be funny.. and this wasn't.

PANCOSNIC

^To each is own. A little subjective I might say if you are claiming that his music was never any good.

xmusicdivax

it wasn't, i never liked it. we all have our opinions and tastes, accept that.

PANCOSNIC

I do. But I think there's a difference of not liking someone's music and saying that they don't make good music. I personally can't stand Madonna's music or the Rolling Stones but for me to say that they never made good music isn't true. It's just not my taste. But you can say that if you want.

No one asked you too. Just b/c people disagreed doesn't mean they don't know. Get over yourself lil lady.

PANCOSNIC

^Oh, please. I can explain it if I want to. & furthermore this is ridiculous because I previously stated that Prince never actually said this I just posted it because it was funny. Clearly people need to lighten up.

At least Justin can sing.
