#1: Who has worked with? Both.
(Lizzo appears at 2:13)
#2: Body/sex positive? Both.
#3: Pride and success in performing multiple genres? Both
#3: Multi-instrumentalists: Neither, though Janelle knows at least some guitar and Lizzo is an all-star with the flute.
#4: A super producer: Neither (but obvs they have a say in their ace productions)
#5: Productive: Prince released 39 studio albums in 37 years. Janelle has made three in nine, Lizzo made three in six, so Lizzo has the advantage but both aren't even close to Prince's speed.
#6: Mentor to the future generation: Janelle has her own musical collective and imprint label, so she has the advantage, but she's also had a decade on the scene and Lizzo's a relative newbie.
But really, in the end, it's #2 and #3 that define the Prince musical aesthetic, and so... a tie. Or let's say if Most Like gets awarded yearly, this year it'd go to Lizzo, but if it's rewarded for the 2010s, it'd be Janelle.
Anyway, can't wait for THEIR inevitable collaboration
