If you look at picture from his earliest year and look at his pictures from 1987 Sign of the Times, his nose is the same,

He wore less to hardly any make up during those times

Why do you all think he had a nose job? Both of his parents have long narrow noses so does he. There is no comparison with Michael Jacksons nose width and Prince’s. Anyone who has seen pictures of Prince’s earlier years can see that he was pretty healthy as in a lot more meatier. By the time his first album came out Prince was basically homeless and half eating, which can make a difference in how a person look. Even in my own experiences, what and how much I eat shows up on my face and features, as well as in the Fall/Winter month my nose lips and features are a lot more narrow than in the Spring Summer months

Jackson's transformation was during the time he was popular, while Prince's happened just before he had any widespread notoriety. Though, it appears that their nose jobs were at approximately the same time. Jackson's first one appears to have happened sometime between Off The Wall in 1979 and Thriller in 1982. Prince's nose job happened between his not-very-popular second album, Prince in 1979 and his fairly popular fourth album, Controversy in 1981. It's hard to tell if he'd already had the surgery on 1980's Dirty Mind.

That’s kinda what made this high school photo so remarkable. I wasn’t aware that Prince had undergone an MJ-lite kind of transformation.

Don’t forget that Prince has the superior nosejob.

Indeed. While I know of a few androgynous urban Midwestern black males who have made it to Old Age, they all were born before Crack, HIV and the black/latino take over of the ganglands. Prince’s odds are not good but my hopes are with him (and all the androgynous urban Midwestern black males –with or without musical talent). Thanks for bringing light to this subject.

Clicked on this because I saw the word Prince, surprised to see myself quoted!

The last time I saw Prince live, a little voice in my head said to me, “You’re in the same room as the single most talented person you’ll ever encounter.” This thought stopped me in its tracks. The little guy on stage down there, the one who might be America’s greatest living songwriter, the guy playing guitar as well as Hendrix ever did, the guy dancing as well as Michael Jackson ever did (and in heels!) was on such a completely different level than anyone else I will ever share a space with that the sensation was almost physically palpable. It was a strange moment.

America’s greatest living songwriter, by the way, judged by his best songs against anyone else’s. Certainly not America’s most consistent songwriter. I’m currently trying to think of who he’d be in competition with. Thoughts?

I liked the levity of Purple Rain, the movie, with Morris Day, etc. I also really liked that song Sometimes it Snows in April. Forgot about it. Thanks for the reminder.
