i said the prince similarities were "surface comparisons," meaning that ultimately, i concluded that sitar thingy sounded SIMILAR to shit prince used, and that my initial reaction to "charade" sounding like "money don't matter 2nite" were way off (bassline, pattern, etc were nothing like it!).

just some clarification...i never said "charade" sounded "completely new".
