1) Six octave voice yet he sounds like ****, I’ve seen his ‘best live performances’ on YouTube. Why don’t you provide provide a video of a live performance that showcase that vocal talent you’re speaking of?

2) 27 instruments but I’ve seen him play 3, and he wasn’t even that good on the piano. 

 

3) Funny you’re comparing LWYMMD with his best song. When you could’ve picked a song from RED. 

 

4) He’s not well-known, Atleast not in this day and age. When he passed away none of my friends knew who he was. I won’t go back and forth with you on ‘who’s more known and successful’ since you’re clearly judging with your personal test, when the receipts (charts ands sales) don’t lie. 

Do you live in your own little bubble or is this your first day on Earth? 

Your discussion was with somebody else but I need to weigh in here. 

1, what song have you listened to where his vocals have been sub par because Doves Cry, Purple Rain and Baby I'm a Star come to mind right now and his voice is amazing. 

2, even if he wasn't that good on piano (according to you) it doesn't negate the fact he was a very talented, hard working musician. 27 instruments ffs! 

3, I like the Red album and fair enough there are some good songs on there. But Prince would never have a basic LWYMMD kind of song in his discography. 

4, He is very well known. Just because you and your friends don't know him shows your ignorance tbh. And chart sales are irrelevant when comparing to somebody who peaked decades ago. Records sold differently back then and we didn't have streaming like we do now.

He didn’t lie, she beat him in literally everything; but because prince is dead we’re gonna sugarcoat it. 

Don't even try to compare the charts to back then.. Even back then black artists weren't represented as well as they are today.

Also, artists like Queen never won a competitive Grammy, and yet we're suppose to say that Swift is better because she "won" in that race? 

It'll always be subjective, but Swift is a product of great marketing, not so much overall talent imo.

Taylor Swift is not a legend in any sense of the word. She’s a girl who became a singer and sold millions of records. That’s it. She has zero impact, zero stage prescence and zero personality. Just be happy she is successful without trying to justify anything.

His movie was a huge box office success (bigger than ASIB)

Did you really have to bring ASIB into this just to state your point? ASIB was released 2 months ago, calm down, but I agree with you

1) Prince has a SIX OCTAVE VOICE, 6-octave. WTF are you talking about? That's like Mariah Carey. Are you telling me Mariah and Taylor are on the same level vocal-wise  No, no, no, I don't believe there's this much delusion in your head. Taylor doesn't even have a four-octave voice, so she PHYSCIALLY can't be a better singer than Prince.

2) Prince played all 27 instruments on his debut album. He recorded ALL of them, played ALL of them. There's a reason why people called him a musical genius. Lol, Taylor can put that banjo up her butt compared to that.

3) Better songwriter? Even Taylor herself is inspired by Prince's songwriting. I don't understand you. You're telling me Look What You Made Me Do is better than the lyrics of Purple Rain?  You seriously haven't even bothered to listen to Prince's music then, so stop talking about someone you haven't done research about. You sound like a little kid.

4) That last statement is INSANE. Officially INSANE. Prince is one of the most famous singers on the planet. His movie was a huge box office success (bigger than ASIB) and one of his albums sold 20 million copies. Call me when Taylor ever does that. And maybe Prince was always under MJ, but Taylor is under Adele in terms of sales too and and in terms of pop culture status under Beyoncé as well. 14 years into Prince's career he still scored Hot 100 #1s (1992's Cream) and he's outsold Taylor by a mile. I can't at your f_cking delusion. Google even turned purple the moment news broke of Prince's death. It was huge because he was a huge superstar that everybody knew. There are still more people who've heard of Prince than there are who've heard of Taylor. Ask anyone over 50 outside of the US and they'll know Prince better than f_cking Taylor. Why do you think EVERYONE on this thread have laughed at that guy's statement and he's been DRAGGED on Twitter to the moon and back?

Look, we're all relatively young on here but you seriously sound like a 10 year-old who still believes in Santa with that delusion. 

You’re my kind of person. I was about to go ham on that ignorance! 

[KingRedd 3,139]

The delusion from that user is appalling tbh. Not even joking this next generation is going to only know basic music and musicians if they are anything like that user. That’s truly sad. Thank god i was born when I was. I can appreciate the legends and welcome new artists as well.

Zero impact = Her increasing the number of young voters by a simple insta post.

Zero stage presence = Repuation stadium tour being the second most grossing tour of all time by a female artist.

Zero personality = Having shitload of social media followers.

But whatever you gotta say to help you sleep at night, bud.

+12 years and counting of a thriving career; meanwhile he’s...well you know.

Babe your personal opinion on certain artists doesn’t = reality, just a simple advice.

1) HE sounds like sh!t? What does Taylor sound like then? You seriously can't compare an artist whose Super Bowl Halftime Show is considered THE BEST of all time to someone like Taylor Swift who isn't good vocally nor is she even remotely close to being THIS GENERATION'S best performer. Meanwhile, Prince and MJ were considered the best of their generation by a f_cking mile!

 

2) He plays 27 instruments, most of them very well. His guitar skills DEMOLISH anything Taylor can play (lmfao at her banjo meaning she's a more skilled performer than someone who plays 27 instruments). Taylor can't even dance and sing at the same time, wtf makes you think she could ever even learn to play as well as Prince.

 

3) Red isn't even as acclaimed as Purple Rain in any sense of the word, so this really is nonsense. Subjectively, sure, you're allowed to think Red is better than any Prince album but objectively it's not. 

 

4) Prince has sold over 100 million records, including 48.9 million in the US alone, which is much more than Taylor. He's the 26th most successful artist worldwide, which is also better than Taylor. 

http://tsort.info/music/faq_most_hits.htm

Prince is #26 worldwide in terms of hits, while Taylor's... 194. She's not even close to being as huge as Prince was  Ironically, Taylor and Prince have the same number of top 10s on the Hot 100 (19) and the same number of #1 singles in the US (5), so if your brain thinks Taylor is this extremely famous person then that means Prince was also extremely famous since they've had the same number of hits? I mean, that's just logic. Or are you dragging your own fave right now? I mean, do you know what LOGIC is? 

Prince has also sold 10 million in the UK and close to 5 million in France. Taylor is not even close. I was at a Prince show and there were almost 90,000 people in attendance, so f_ck off with your bullsh!t. You're speaking reciepts so why don't YOU show us some receipts that aren't pulled out of your butt? 

I love the fact that you even THINK you're right when 99 percent of users in this thread have already dragged you. 

Prince is the more famous artist and certainly the more talented and acclaimed. Taylor is average at best and she's not even a good performer. You have really lost this discussion and I mean a complete K.O.

Prince is iconic. 

I’m not saying Taylor isn’t but they are two good artists walking different paths.

I've never really liked Prince, but he was clearly a far more interesting and dynamic artist.

Never heard of that irrelent website with the cheap graphics you’ve posted. But here are the facts, he has sold 100 million records and 150 million single sales worldwide. Meanwhile she has sold 87 million albums and 153 million singles worldwide. It took her 12 years to accomplish what took him 30 years. Expect that her career doesn’t seem to be slowing down in its 13th year like his did. 

Ps. I can tell that you’re trying to end this conversation cuz you can’t take the receipts by pretending I’ve lost or can’t take what a bunch of obsessed Taylor haters has to say. It’s not working.

Oh sis, literally no one agrees with you. You claimed no one knew him, which is a lie. He's a huge legend and it was huge news when he passed away. You also stated Taylor is more talented which simply is NOT true. 

When it comes to sales, Prince has sold 100 million and you can't sell that many records whilst being 'unknown' or only known to a certain demographic. He was a superstar and everyone knew who he was. He was the 10th most successful act of the 90s. AT THIS POINT RIGHT NOW, Taylor and Prince have sold the same and charted the same meaning if Taylor is considered a massive star then so was Prince. Most of what Prince sold was during a 10 year-span, so that tells you how huge he was. You're ignorant to say he was unknown or forgotten or anything remotely close to that.

And please don't project your lack of further arguments, knowlegde and being in denial onto me because that look is even less cute than the one you already had by spewing nonsensical garbage and delusion.

I think you are forgetting the fact that its WAYYY easier to sell albums now due to streaming.
