he's the only one out of all of them that could pretty much play anything recorded on any of his albums
michael might be able to as well?
did JB play anything?

As far as pure musicianship goes, Prince winds hands down.

He's amazing, and furthermore, when he grabs his crotch, it's sexy.
Message 12/43 13-May-03 @ 09:11 PM - RE: MJ Vs Prince Vs JB
true sexuality is personal, private. what all these "sexy" people do sure aint real.
hes still a better total package than the other two Id say

I know it's an act. That's one of the best points about being a live performer. All I'm saying is that there's a certain sexiness when prince dances, unlike the certain creepiness of MJ.

My vote? Prince! He's always been brilliant, his performance is always 100% and have any of you read/heard interviews with the people who work with with him? He's a savant!
they all have their moments though... JB made it POPULAR, you gotta give it up there.
But kids, for musicality and innovation go forth and get ye some LOU DONALDSON records... the king of funk, guys. JB sites him as THE influence.

>did JB play anything?
Dave- I know he's played organ on several
recordings. I wouldn't doubt if he could play a
little bit of everything.
Prince of course, can play a *lot* of everything!
and musically, he's tops. But Mindspawn, no
contest?
Back to the original post's criteria: musical
ability, vocal skills and performance: Ever
seen footage of JB in his prime??? W/ the
gold cape and the crazy footwork?!? He
HYPED his audiences like the fuggin Beatles.
C'mon I can't believe no one's mentioned all
that! And vocal skillz wise, he may not have
Prince's awesome range but his style is so
distict and fierce...you know you've tried some
JB grunts in the shower, ha!
So for me, James Brown wins. With Prince a
close 2nd. MJ's not even close, even tho Off
the Wall is a dope record.
Lou donaldson? get the f*ck outta here E! ;-)))

Funky"!!!! OMG... like I said, even James Brown cites the
man as the father of funk! First to coin the phraze, first to
lay it down!
Well, I think the word funk came from some stanky
caveman, I'm sure it's been around that long ;-)

Yulp, tryna d-load it right now...

with for years and years. and certainly
not the guy who got all uppity about
sinead's stance on things. prince could never figure out
if he was an artist formerly known as...
the posing mirror-fanatic!.
and michael could never figure out if he
was space monkette formerly one of the jackson five. whereas mr. brown was straight up
rawness and
stellar funkness.
no questions asked.

this high-energy mix of electro funk and classical music in pop-ish arrangements is amazing in it's ability and emotion.
rare is the blend.

quite registering.
i guess i'm one of those nim-nuts who requires more than a morsel or a clip of some odd hieroglyphic
iconography for me to equate something said into meaning.
in other words: speak.

samples must be old, (the older the younger you were when you heard them) (you do not hear them they see you) technology may be a way to re-explore your first kiss.
