      I’m not sure that the handsome comment has ever fit. It’s the music that makes people assume he’s handsome. It’s a very common thing. I mean, look at Mick Jagger and David Crosby.
      I know handsome is a subjective term, and you may hold the opinion that Lionel is in fact handsome.

  • @gabriels1869

    I think Prince just wanted to his own thing and that's why he gave his own song, 4 The Tears In Your Eyes (he actually sent Sheila E. to the We Are The World recording in his place). It's pretty terrible how the media depicted him as too arrogant or whatever for declining to do it though... But if you listen to Hello (the Prince song), I think that was his answer to the whole We Are the World thing

Michael enabled black artist to showcase their songs and videos on MTV and was one of the most charitable ppl in the world. That's a phenomenon someone who ppl of any age and nationality can easily recognize their greatness. They're both legendary artist. No need to bring down one for the other. What you did was just show your insecurity in your preferred choice.

      @@garfieldharrison510 💜 What's funny is that was also the night of the Grammy Awards, 1995. The recording for the We Are The World song was being done after the award ceremony.
      The media knew Prince wasn't going to be there so they started ripping into him early. That's why after the award show was over one of Prince's managers pleaded with him not to go out that night and just to stay in the hotel room and celebrate his wins. The manager knew the media would spin it to look like Prince didn't care about starving people.
      After his manager left Prince got that look in his eyes and said LET GO PARTY! Are something like that, lol.
      I don't think Prince regretted going out that night and I don't think he regreted that he wasn't performing on the We Are The World song either. He had another chance to sing the song at an award show in the early 90's live on stage. He was on stage but he didn't sing a word... he was too busy sucking on his Tootsie Roll Pop, LOL.🍭🍭🍭
