He's doesn't say that he is offended when people compare him to Prince. He says that he is offended FOR Prince when people compare them to him. He looks up to him.
Miguel grew up in LA with both of his parents actually. African American mother and Mexican father. Although they divorced when he was young, he is very close with his Hispanic family..So that's not true.
CLEARLY you don't watch enough interviews... He talks about his girlfriend when he is prompted to do so.. He can't help that people are obsessed with his fabulous and real relationship.. If you take a look at more interviews you will see that he has a lot to say as a man and artist, and most of it is about more than his muse..
The one artist that I think of while watching Miguel is Jackie Wilson. From his hairstyle to the suits he wears during performances, the way he moves with the microphone and his mannerisms. He just can't sing as well as Jackie.
