Why is Prince such a big deal?
491276
Prince is able to play multitude of instruments and genres.  He mastered the piano at seven, and 6 instruments by 12.  He is the youngest to ever produce his own albums at the age of 19.  He takes risks and help define the sounds of the 80's.  He was the first black artist to appear on MTV.  Not Michael Jackson.\nHe can play against the best of them, he's toured with the Rolling Stones, and Rick James when he was starting out.\nFinally, most of his albums sound different for his previous.  yes, he's given us some crap but also some real jems.  I recommend see his "I die 4 U" live performance from 1985 and you will see a real showman.

Charles is heir to throne and I don't think he'd abdicate.  I think its wrong to say that nobody likes him, so he's made a few mistakes in life, haven't we all!  In my opinion this should make it easier for the public to relate to him and make him the peoples monarch.  I can't blame him if he wants to be George after his coronation, Kings named Charles don't really have a good track record in this country!  I hope that the public do accept Camilla as Queen, she is so supportive to Charles and makes him look happy and relaxed, isn't this what a Queen should do for the King?  It annoys me that people go on about how she's not the prettiest woman alive but as long Charles and Camilla and happy it doesn't really matter and they have my support!

You answered your own question..It's because a lot of people have confused His title with His name.

I once worked with Prince (or the artist or whatever he was calling himself then). He was appearing on a TV show I was working on and strict instructions were given incase of contact with him.\nHe must not be directly addressed - if addressed by him, refer to him only as Sir. There were loads of stupid things he wanted in his dressing room and he had an entourage of about 18 huge blokes. I couldn't resist taking the risk of making the 'w@nker' gesture behind his back.\n\nWhat is funny is Paul McCartney was on the same show and he was a really nice guy. He even held doors open for me (a lowly runner) because I had my arms full of Pizza for Robbie Williams.\n\nIf I say so myself, this def. deserves best answer. I never tell anyone about this stuff.\n\nEdit:\nJust remembered, I physically 'bumped into' Peter Beardsley in Newcastle once. I gave him a filthy look and called him a t0sser, (I'm not a football fan and didn't recognise him). It was only when people started to gather round him that I realised wh it was. (He was still a premiership player for NUFC and considered a local God then)

It's not about the money. Axl like most mucisians know one simple fact: Bad publicity is better than good pulicity!\n\nCase in point Marylin Manson while he is very talanted he would not sell near the records he has without his Costume makeup and shocking antics.\n\ntouring and even cancelling shows at the last minute create publicity.

As an American, I have nothing to say about it but then again, the average British subject has nothing to say about it either.  Prince Charles has done very little to regain the popularity he lost following his split with Princess Diana.  His ongoing relationship with Parker-Bowles made him look out of touch with reality, yet the age spread between himself and Diana may have been the biggest problem between the two. They probably could not identify with each others generation. Prince William seems to be the odds on favorite for taking over the throne.  One has to wonder if Charles really wants the job anymore.  His mother could step down and let him have some of the glory, yet she chooses not to relinquish her authority.  I doubt that his marriage to Camille has helped his relationship with mum. So, he may be taking the path of the old Duke of Windsor, its not as though he needs the money.  William would be a fine choice as the next King of England.

I think it is the same reason a lot of people are obsessed with celebrities to them he is already a celebrity.  I often wonder if people are so obsessed with celebrities because they are unhappy with their on lives.  I just can't see myself jumping up and down, fainting or any of these other crazy things people do when they see a celebrities.  I do think he had a unique voice and I would have liked to see him move on but he didn't and life goes on.  I am sure he has already been signed to a label and we will be hearing from him soon.\n\nYou are right he didn't cure cancer and it's said that our priorities are not in the right place most people can't name any Nobel Peace Prize recipients but they can tell you who celeb is wearing what and what ball player is being signed by who.

because in order to become a big name rap star you must romantacize thug life. will smith doesn't do that, but since he is already a big name, the only thing people can do is say that he sucks. i think a lot of people have forgottten that the first thing that he did to get famous in the first place is rap. if you can't respect a guy that has stayed true to his roots, you're an @sshole. i'm not saying that i like his music either because i don't. i'm just saying that i can respect his music

He's the man that started the playboy bunny clubs.  It continued on to the magazine "Playboy".  So the tabloid's say he is known for his huge parties of scantily dressed women.  One can only imagine what goes on at these parties.  I think many celebrities are invited and attend these parties

He is the only one so close to being the best player ever, not only through talent now but more and more through individual achievements. So it is not because he is arogant at all, it is because is black and really really good, I have notice that when black people are about the reach a really high level they get harassed like crazy, some may say if they stay clean, they won't get into problems, but the truth is famous people regardless of race are often disgrundled people so it is hard for them to do only nice things, however we hear more about th bad by blacks of course ...

He is a player.  Straight up.\n\nWhy?  Just look at his videos and mannerisms on the red carpet.

Sometimes its more appealing to keep it mysterious then to let it out...I guess he wants to keep it silent so he can have attention from both sides...maybe he'll end up being another George Michael...dont let it out till you're busted...
