Okay we know who won between Prince and Michael Jackson, So now after seeing the two perform together on stage with Chaka Khan at the BET Awards it brought to mind a real valid question;In the musical genius category who is the man....Stevie Wonder or Prince Rogers Nelson?

bingolong,
they are both talented but i think that the edge would go to Stevie Wonder....he has made some very classic hits......from a long time ago.....an just kept on making them

bingolong,

Although neither has made an album in years that could come close to classic, it comes down to if I only had $20 and was faced with purchasing a CD of previously unreleased material by either... I don't even think about it. Stevland!

JTF,

YOU ARE WRONG!

Both have recent albums....And both are banging.

bingolong,

There is NO CONTEST. on the music skills

Stevie can not see & makes it happen....therefore, he is undisputably - THE MAN

But on Dancing and performing - PRINCE gets my vote.

But, on the real (& keep this on this on the hush)
I would freak with Prince, fo shizzle my nizzle.

I like the way he be screaming all girl like and seeiittt, and rubbing all over his self, scooting across the stage. I really liked that part in Purple Rain where he was singing Darling Nicky and he was up on that speaker, holding the guitar between his legs, like it was his ding ding and starting squirting water out of it into the audience. Yeah, I thought that shit was fly!

tis2flyyy,

Who would you rather have over for dinner?

My answer is easily Stevie.

Why?

He's a cool MF! (Plus he wouldn't bring The Watchtower.)

Maybe we need Prince vs. Isaac Hayes...

bingolong,

man.... As, Overjoyed, Ebony Eyes, Love's In Need Of Love Today, Ribbon In The Sky, These Three Words, You & I....man the list goes on.

I love me some Prince , but when I compare songs like Head, Sister, Darling Nicky, and Come to Stevie, I have to give the snaps to Stevie.

when I wanna break out the whip cream, chains, whip and blindfold....wait what was I talking about??? ooooh yeah, but when I wanna get my freak on, Prince is the man. but when I have family and good friends over and we wanna break out a memorable spades game and good meals, Stevie Wonder is the triple snaps up winner. unless we wanna do strip spades and use the food for props, then Prince, including "Adore" is the choice.

they are both equally talented but for different experiences.

almost like comparing Sam Cooke to Little Richard.

tamra,

I luvs me some Stevie.

bingolong,

Musically you have to give Stevie the edge.

Image wise you have to give it to Stevie by default, He couldn't tell he spend the better part of the 80's wearing Bill Cosby sweaters. Prince knew fully what he was doing dressing like a transvestite pirate.
