I'm going to say it, Better With Time has a Michael Jackson-ish Childhood feel in places

Does anyone agree? Purple people talk to me.

I'm up on MJ too as well he's my #2 behind Prince. I felt no MJ driven material in that song at all...

Someone recently noted that "Until U're In My Arms Again" could have been a good MJ piece. I agree. Not sure about "Better With Time". I've not listened to the albums since the 2nd week of April.

In a way it does, but it gives off the same vibe "Condition Of The Heart" does for me

Who do you think the song in refering too. It is simply one of the most beautiful songs he's written and I love everything about it.

Oh, for Funky Unlawful Carnal Knowledge's sake. No. It doesn't sound anything LIKE Michael Jackson's "Childhood." Same goes for "Until You're In My Arms Again."

No neutral
(...but the last 30 seconds of "Everytime" reminds me of MJ's "Someone in the dark")

In spite of its quite beautiful but so wise lyrics, that song has no interest at all - at least 2 me. MJ vibe ? Hell no... too slow maybe ?

I thought Love from 3121 sounded like a song Prince could have given MJ.

Of course I like Michael Jackson...however...I have always thought of them as two distint individuals...

They are both great performers.
They are both the same age.
That's it.

I don't get an MJ vibe from this song. Someone had said that "Love" would have been great for Michael and I agree with that.

Prince.org is a cemetery where folks mourn Prince instead of celebrate him and his music. Last time I checked, Prince isn't dead yet.
