Does Prince hate MJ?

I know they used to be rivals, but now Prince is a JW... do you think he still hates MJ?

I truly don't believe Prince has EVER hated Michael. I think Prince has always respected Michael as an artist and an entertainer.

They were rivals? Not to me. hmph!

MJ is again a JW too. nod

Imagine a duet! woot!

Maybe we'll get a collaboration Twenty years too late though. neutral

Sadly it'll more than likely sound like a cross between 'The Lost Children' and 'Wedding Feast' sad

That wasn't no disrespect or hate. That was just plain BULLSHIT. I have never heard of nobody getting 200 nosejobs to hit higher notes. On that special Michael should've told the truth. He got a bunch of nosejobs because he wanted to ease every trace of blackness (lol big nose) he could.

Prince is just calling MJ's bullshit. That whole documentary MJ was talking alot of bullshit.

That's funny that you would think that.

That line never has been any kind of jab at MJ... it's a jab at Prince's critics.

Says who? It never even occurred to me to be a jab at MJ. Where are you getting this information?

Sorry Dansa... you're right. Old topic.

Plenty examples of Prince backing up MJ.

Got a clip of him saying to back off him when a journalist asked who would win in a fight between him and MJ

right when i heard that line from Life O the Party I was thinking Michael Jackson. That sounds like Prince is making fun of his nosejobs. Like he can sing high notes without a nosejob but Michael cant? I think it is very well aimed at Mj, but then again just my opinion

No, and if Prince saw this he would laugh his ass off. Prince has never hated mike, Rick James on the other hand biggrin

The man was/is on intimate terms with Mike and the Jacksons , why would he be if he hated him.

There's a million P/MJ stories.

Is MJ still a JW? I read recently he was.

Maybe if MJ wasn't a kiddie fiddler, a duet would be on the cards!

Look for this book: Moguls and madmen: the pursuit of power in popular music by Jory Farr. Look in the index under "Prince" and then find the things that he has told rec execs about Michael Jackson. Then you'll know Prince's view of the guy.

In my opinion, there are very few musicians who can garner Prince's respect; deservedly so. And many of those musicians are pushing up daisies or soon will be.

How so? Sorry, but I think this lyric is a clear reference to MJ's ridiculous rationale in the Bashir interview, but maybe you can convince me otherwise...?

From the stories i've read and whispers here and there in the music biz circle of friends that i know and discussed this with they say that
Prince and MJ definitely respects each others talent but they both r competitive and have a similar friendly rivalry like Charles Barkely and Micheal Jordan does.

cool Last year when he called in to the WBLS(radio show).They mention Michael Jackson in this game that they got him to play where when they called out a name they wanted him to tell them what he thought of that person in 1 or 2 words. He called Michael Jackson a genius.

I heard that also. Prince is a prankster at heart and i think that he pokes fun
at MJ just like in the Rolling Stone interview 4 Emancipation he poked fun at Jimmy Jam& Terry Lewis as well as R.Kelly.

Yes. I must admit, I have not yet read "Moguls and Madmen: The Pursuit of Power in Popular Music," which is probably quite interesting. But if you go to the link below for the Housequake website, you can check out the video of a 2000 press conference in New York:

http://www.housequake.com...adid=45146

If you watch it, Prince talks about MJ briefly. It's approximately 12 minutes and 30 seconds into the video (the entire video is about 19 minutes in length). Please be aware that the video will be locked up on June 27.

It's a pretty cool video and interesting press conference.

Prince called MJ a 'genius'.

And maybe he isn't the guy's BIGGEST fan, but I'm sure there's respect.. his fans just don't want him to have any.
