Ross Tucker says Taylor Swift is better than Prince

[djBuffoon 12,220]

Anyone who uses numbers and chart placements to argue quality, frankly, doesn’t have any business discussing music. 

[REALITY 79,805]

lmao Just cause you have more hit singles doesn't mean that you're a better singer or anything. Prince is a legend. This is like comparing Cardi B to Aretha Franklin.

Why does this decade seem very hype driven? Like you had so many record execs declaring “Beyonce is on a higher level than Michael Jackson” or that “Taylor Swift is better than Prince”. Not to mention Kanye’s own self-importance in his own music, or Nicki calling herself “Queen”. 

Why can’t the music speak for itself?

I honestly hate the 2010s and can’t wait for the 2020s when I hope honesty returns to music and singers stop making bogus declarations of their own greatness.

I'm so glad Gaga never made any crazy statements like that.

But, see, Gaga’s were all misinterpreted. When she said “album of the decade” she was saying that “I’m going to give you the best album!” It wasn’t a real show of bragging just her saying she wanted to give the best to monsters. Same with ARTPOP and “album of the millennium” (though I also think that was a bit of a joke about ‘album of the decade’). Gaga is the queen of hyperbole and overly dramatic statements lol

Just because prince is a “legend” doesn’t mean you can’t find Taylor objectively better

Yasssss omg 2013Ga was so funny, she was obviously just trolling the media who couldn’t wait to tear her to shreds. She wasn’t elevating *herself* but her art. The joke is that she could have said anything to the press because the media always have their own agenda. She could have said “I am the greatest artist of my generation, the artist of the millennium” instead but that probably would have been taken too literally by some  Praise ARTPOP, ha wit

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

Delusion. Prince is a better vocalist and played soooo many instruments you won't believe. Purple Rain is also more iconic than anything Taylor has made and I dare you prove me otherwise. Also, his purple suit and guitar are more recognizable and iconic than ANYTHING Taylor has done. Saying Taylor Swift is better than Prince is putting her up there with Michael Jackson, Elvis Presley and Whitney Houston. I mean, you can't be serious???????

1) They’re on the same level vocally. He just keeps screaming to hide the fact he doesn’t have vocal control; people usually expect female singers to sing like Whitney or Celine to be considered good singers meanwhile the standard is much lower for males.

2) She plays the guitar, piano and banjo; and that only what we’ve seen her play live. 

3) She’s by far a better song writer. Her videographer is more iconic than his. 

4) Prince was always under Michael Jackson and was constantly overshadowed by new acts. Meanwhile Taylor Swift is hands down the most powerful and influential artist of our time; 12 years into her career and her albums still go platinum on their first week, still score #1 singles, breaks touring records and has a huge social media following. Nobody (GP) out of the US knew prince even existed except people who were obsessed with music; but everyone and their mothers have heard of Taylor Swift, her name alone is more iconic than his whole career.

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.

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.
