Michael Jackson's Concert will be better than Prince's @ the O2 Not because MJ is better but because quite simply he has a bigger aura.

Yes and apparently to see whose "aura" is bigger. The last thing we want is Prince with aura envy. [Edited 3/5/09 7:04am] Just somewhere in the middle,

Yes, lets compare. After all, excellence can only be defined as a measure against its peer. I am in no way sayin that Michael Jackson is a better performer than Prince. Just that he quite simply will stir up a bigger reaction from the crowd, I mean he's better known around the world than the pope. Prince's concert was like goin 2 a great man doin' his thing and that is respectable but MJ's concert is gonna feel like going 2 an all out cult exstravaganza ...the sheer scale of MJ's Messianic presence (which I find hilarious) will make the concert a bigger better experience I'll go down on u all Nite long, its automatic
U will?

Or will it all be a gigantic let down? Can he even perform live any more, for one full length show, never mind a tour? Or is it going to be a blitz of expensive pyrotechnics, video screens and two dozen dancers half his age buzzing round him whilst he mimes into a headset? I couldn't be bothered with Prince's shows at the O2, but he put on an impressive string of live concerts and aftershows, Michael is surely going to put on a stage show, not a live concert? | |

The poster does have a point. Thankyou. Im a Prince music appreciater all the way but Im a realist. U should see the craziness MJ has stirred up in the UK already, its nuts. I find it very noble that Prince fans r defending Prince but there's no need. we all know Prince is on another level 2 MJ. BUT he doesnt and hasnt retained that thing that was Joey CoCo..remeber him, he's not got us playing his music backwards anymore or trying 2 figure out the lyrics, P doesnt swear no more  or talk about sex or get nasty..he's not even an arrogant acting weirdo anymore...he's become a decnt, respectable, immesely talented musician who is more normal than we need a star 2 be. Hell, Im not sure P even wears heelsanymore.
MJ on the other hand is weirder than ever.. As people Prince is on top As musicians Prince As performers Prince but as superstars...MJ I'll go down on u all Nite long, its automatic

As people Prince is on top As musicians Prince As performers Prince but as superstars...MJ I think you've gone abit too far on this one....yes MJ can/will sell more dates than Prince and yes the Hype is bigger than Prince's gig...but let's not forget Prince made the 02 the venue it is in London....it is and will always be his house first....and MJ people know this so he has to do at least 21 Nights... Da, Da, Da....Emancipation....Free..don't think I ain't..! London 21 Nights...Clap your hands...you know the rest..

I find it weird that MJ fans are so blatantly obsessed to promote their idol on a Prince fansite. | |

You are right, every single one of my co-workers came into the office this morning wearing a fedora, 3/4 length trousers, white socks and glitter gloves. The "craziness" is a construct of the media. I'm not denying there are probably a few hundred hardocre MJ fans waiting at the O2 for this press conference but really, the rest of the country are just going about their business. No doubt it will be all over the news later but do we have choice about that? For me, this news is in the Jade Goody category. I'm just not interested and am finding it hard to locate a news channel that doesn't think I want the latest developments rammed down my throat. Just somewhere in the middle,

What P has 2 get on stage, play six instruments & sing his heart out 4...MJ can achieve by just holding a pose. I,ve stood 2 feet away from someone who fainted at the sight of MJ just doing a walk across the stage... Love him or hate him, the concert will just feel bigger & better.. Although Prince has succeeded over the past few years in being commercially more successful than MJ, in terms of superstardom Michael Jackson has risen well above Prince. Let me explain, its cos Prince shot himself in the foot a long time ago by becoming, well, normal.  He started 2 become human and regular and show his 'every day Joe' side 2 much. Slowly the mistique, weirdness and superstardom that made Prince so Princey in the beginning disappeared. What we were left with was a very respectable star who is very talented but nonetheless NOT a superstar in the strict sense of the definition. MJ on the other hand has maintained and even surpassed his wierdness, mistique, superstardom. He is what definesa superstar. Some1 who is so removed from normality that we are excited, revolted, confused, in adoration and blown away at the mere sight of him.
Im just saying, Prince's concert was very Talented. MJ's concert will be Magic, literally. I saw him on the BAD tour - and you're right, people do just faint at one of his poses. There is no doubting that he poses better than Prince. The concert on the other hand was just watered down versions (in terms of both song and dance) of his videos. Dull. A bigger event? Yes. A bigger star? Yes. A better concert? No way. | |

Not my bag at all.
To be honest I have seen him live at Wembley Stadium on the Dangerous tour. Even then it was all a bit showy and not much substance. He did that whole stand there for 10 minutes thing like a statue and "left" the stage on a jetpack (well some stuntman did as MJ had already hid in a box). It was bordering on the ludicrous and self-parody even then. Just somewhere in the middle,

we have two threads about MJ, one of which is specifically about his O2 concert news - feel free to take this discussion to one of those threads.
