Prince's showmanship transcended his music, his act was a work of art and passion, not of pure musicianship. Prince is widely regarded as one of the most energetic, electric, and charismatic frontmen to ever stand on a stage. His custom guitar, permed hair, and flamboyancy fueled an entire generation of musicians. Prince was the man to beat when it came to competitive artistry, and nobody was able to do so.
