Jehovah doesn't allow public statements.

Prince has responded to many things in the form of song. Why would this be any different?

For the Tears in Your Eyes ... Beautiful.

Followed by "Hello" ... Couldn't have gotten more clearer than that on how he preferred to respond to things.

S.S.T./Brand New Orleans ... Dug that jam!

PFUnk ... Couldn't have gotten more personal than that.


If does a song for Mike, I think it would be an appropriate response for his passing and damn good!

Hoping he's in the studio now ... What would be even better is to fill those 50 shows with an all-star MJ Tribute. NOW THAT WOULD BE A SHOW!

Only his family and those close to him would be expected to make a public statement and even they arent OBLIGATED to.

Some of these fammy fams are just hungry for any type of communication from Prince out of obsession on his personality

He's not the ONLY celebrity that hasn't spoken out. Stevie hasn't issued a statement.

...why does prince HAVE 2 make a "public statment"???...he could of already talked to mike's family..privately..and that is enuff 4 me...i don't care if prince makes a statement or not...WHO CARES???...

He doesnt have to make a public statement its entirely his decision besides Prince always says it best when he doesnt speak

That's bullshit, I haven't heard from a lot of the people from MOTOWN the ones that we're there from the start. The media is mainly interviewing who THEY want to, mostly the White people that were hanging on to him. Where's Smokey and Diana Ross and Elizabeth Taylor?? You're letting the media fool your ass.
Prince don't owe that kid-raper anything.

I guess the devil's got a brand new fool

Elizabeth Taylor has said

"My heart ... my mind ... are broken. I loved Michael with all my soul and I can't imagine life without him. We had so much in common and we had such loving fun together. I was packing up my clothes to go to London for his opening when I heard the news. I still can't believe it. I don't want to believe it. It can't be so. He will live in my heart forever but it's not enough. My life feels so empty. I don't think anyone knew how much we loved each other. The purest most giving love I've ever known. Oh God! I'm going to miss him. I can't yet imagine life without him. But I guess with God's help ... I'll learn. I keep looking at the photo he gave me of himself, which says, 'To my true love Elizabeth, I love you forever.' And, I will love HIM forever," Dame Elizabeth tells ET.

Smokey spoke out the other day. Can't remember what he said, but I think he was on CNN. The rest haven't.

I don't blame the celebs for NOT issuing one. I wouldn't either (if I were a celeb). I would probably reach out to Mike's family, but that would be it. The public doesn't need to know everything. Especially in such a sorrowful time for the family.

Many people still have time to speak if they choose to, but NOBODY is obligated to.Words don't mean much anyway Kathie Lee had to do a segment on his death and she wqs very gracious, but she reallly hated him and she said so way back when he was accused of child molestation. Prince speaks thru his music... Listen for it !

This is fundamentally a time for each person to make a personal choice about how they respond both towards the deceased in reflection and the bereaved by way of sympathy and respect.

Whether an individual decides to respond in public or private is totally immaterial - the focus is on the deceased and bereaved.

I have no wish to be an apologist here. I would simply question the value in passing judgement on others at this time when, for all anyone knows, those others could be spending their time privately making the most respectful and well-intentioned of responses?

I wonder what Paul McCartney has to say did HE make his statement.

Thank you for your level-headedness.

Dayclear said:

Yep. He called him a "boy man" or something like that. It was on TMZ.

prince got his masters back? why isn't this on the front page of the .org!!!????

Dayclear said:

Man the comments on here from so called prince fans is giving Prince a real bad name ...I would put you in your place but the mods would have a go at me ...

Your so not cool it's unreal - if prince's people looked on this website the message that they would send back to prince is not to bother with his fans they are sick people...

I think the fact that Prince (and Stevie) have not made statements is an indication of their deepest respect for Michael and his family at this very difficult time.

The media only encourages disrespect by using his death as a means of obtaining publicity which mean more $, advertisements, yadda....

..every since i heard about the molestation charges on mike..i lost MAJOR respect for mike...MAJOR..it is better 2 b with me than against me..cuz i will flaten u out!!..and kids that are MOLESTED IS NOT A JOKE!!!!..it is sick..unfair..and just plain WRONG!!!!..

LondonStyle said:

Well i'll apologize to the mods and Prince's people.

i havnt made a statment to!

This may be way off topic.... I'm curious....Did MJ name his two children (Prince Michael I and Prince Michael II) after Prince??? Anyone know?

Dayclear said:

Unless, Michael personally did something to you, the name-calling and immaturity are really not necessary.

jill4life said:

I would like to think that this is the case, Prince knows when to play and when to be grown up and be a man about things he understands M.J. better than any of the media people reporting the story

Prince would have done his talking in private to the family he has class.

R.I.P Michael Jackson

No. Remember, MJ was the "King of Pop" and his children were the heirs to his "thrown". Hence the name Prince.
