Open'er Festival 2011
It is worth notice that the Artist performed on the 2nd of July during Heineken Open'er Festival at the Kosakowo Airfield in Poland. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.8.102.174 (talk) 14:27, 3 July 2011 (UTC)
need an impact on culture section-really
For example stuff like: in the 1980s it became common with funk artists such as Prince (e.g. "All the Critics Love U In New York", "I Would Die 4 U"), and eventually came to be epitomized in the rap and hip-hop genres, with both song titles (e.g. Kiss Me Thru the Phone) and artists' names (e.g. Ludacris, Phanatik, Gorillaz). All kinds of influences should be in a separate section. --Halqh حَلَقَة הלכהሐላቃህ (talk) 14:50, 20 August 2011 (UTC)
Opening
The current opening is not guideline compliant. The article title, or a variation of it, should be the subject of the opening sentence. Here the title is relegated to a clause following the subject's full name. I must admit that I am more familiar with The Artist Formerly Known as Prince episode than with the subject's music. I assumed this was a brilliant and cynical publicity-grabbing gimmick. But I looked at Rolling Stone profile, and they don't even mention it, as if it was embarrassing somehow. In any case, I certainly think this issue should be mentioned in the lede. Kauffner (talk) 10:13, 1 January 2012 (UTC)

Prince is the first and only artist since the Beatles' "A Hard Days Night" to have a number one album, single, and film simultaneously.
Bradalius (talk) 02:15, 13 January 2012 (UTC)
The text of Prince's article says he is the only artist to ever simultaneously have a number one album, single, and film. This is incorrect as the Beatles did that with A Hard Days Night.

First Avenue
Hello. Anybody here live in Minneapolis? This is a great article except it seems to be missing a mention of First Avenue. Well it's in here, mostly in parentheses. How could and did Prince, who is so talented, become a star if he had no place to play? -SusanLesch (talk) 20:47, 26 January 2012 (UTC)
Our "culture"
Geez, I don't know. What does it say about our country when the article on a pop singer is three times the length of the article on Alexander Pope?98.170.199.37 (talk) 01:49, 31 January 2012 (UTC)
