Oh, and the guy CAN sing, but that highpitched falsetto he uses ALL the time, just drives me nuts. No, a guy with so much talent should have been way better than he showed us.

I could not disagree with you more on this, the sheer diversity of his material means that would make it hard to just be a Hendrix rip-off guitar-wise. Also he doesn't use falsetto all the time.
Parade, Purple Rain and, especially, Sign O' The Times are three of the greatest albums ever made IMO.
