Prince definately, he is a legend, and The Fray will be probably be a one-hit wonder.

Also, Prince is one person, a group. (It says "Their singles include")

[DM was on fire!]

Whoops, I'm sorry.
Must still be thinking back to the days with Sheila E. and all those others... </excuses>

XD

[Hil]

Prince is overrated. *hides*

So...The Fray I guess.

[Combusken BG]

The Fray

I have never cared much about Prince's music.

[whhattisthiss]

I ended up having to go with The Fray, despite the fact that I greatly dislike them. I dislike Prince just a little bit more.

[Pudding]

*sings* Don't have to be rich to be my vote!
Don't have to be trendy to wear a purple coat!

Okay, that was a horrible rhyme. I'm gonna go listen to old Prince albums now.

[May]

Prince! "Tonight I'm gonna party like it's 1999!"

[Bangel]

Prince is such a weirdo. "Kiss" is the only worthwhile song he's ever come up with. Plus now apparently he's some creepy religious guy or whatever.

So I voted for The Fray.

[Pixa]

To me, Prince has always seemed like... a wannabe Michael Jackson. He's just always gave me that impression. Either way, I'm still pretty split on who to vote for. Maybe I won't vote at all.

[Kidwaiy]

The Fray gets my vote.

[NeoPet_online]

Prince, hands down.

Hello?!?! I wanna be your lover?!?! He's a legend, and no he's not OVERRATED.

It's the Fray who is, seriously, wow, they have this alright song, and then they have to leave it up to a show for success, seriously had Grey's not used it, it wouldn't have the success its had with 'How to Save a Life'. They're not bad, they just have a long way to go.

[Twinkle]

Prince. He's a seriously talented dude.

[Xandra]

Prince. I'm ashamed to admit that I haven't really listened to much of his work, but The Fray annoys me.

[Yoshi]

Same opinion as Alex. My vote goes to the tiny purple dude who at one point changed his name into a symbol. :P
