I don't think he was more African-American than any other character.
Yes, it's true! IMDB has reached Sweden!

Well his skin was darker and he was also voiced by an African-American singer.

Was his skin really darker? Well, maybe It was a while since I saw this movie now.

I always thought Powerline sounded like Prince.

I agree. Sometimes he sounds like Prince, and sometimes he sounds like Michael. Besides, I think "I2I" sounds more like something Prince would sing.

Actually he sounded like Tevin Campbell to me. No, really I never thought of comparing him to anyone. I just knew it was Tevin, because of his great voice so that was it. I guess the character is like both of them a little, and yeah Hammer too.
I am the prototype

I don't think you could describe this film as racist. After all, the main characters are all dogs!
And yes, I thought of Michael Jackson when I first heard Powerline.

I actually think his songs sound more like Prince, in the car the guitar riffs sound like something Prince would play, but in the movie he doesn't play the guitar. I conclude he is a perfect mix of Michael and Prince.

He came off as more sexual than MJ, so in that way I think more like Prince. Then again his overall look and dance moves (the backward dancing was very moonwalk) seemed more MJ esque.

To me its seems as though Powerline is an infusion of Michael Jackson, Prince, MC Hammer,

FYI (according to Wikipedia):
The songs "I 2 I" and "Stand Out" were performed by R&B singer Tevin Campbell, and co-written by Prince

Vocal-wise = Michael Jackson , Guitar-wise = Prince , Dance-wise= M.C.Hammer.
Powerline's costume , on the other hand , is totally stolen from DEVO!
And by-the-by kidsGoofy , Max , Powerline , etc are DOGS! ( So , unless in your day-to-day activities you call your dog "African-American"that particular point is MOOT! )

Yes he's MJ, Prince and MC Hammer all rolled into one including Devo (I'm such an 80's kid and 90's teen with my knowledge).

Yeah I also thought it had some Prince in there but mostly Michael Jackson. Even the main song he sings has very similar lyrics and themes with MJ songs like "Leave me alone".
