If Prince were the main influence you would see more artist playing their own intruments and no lip synching during live concerts..If MJ were the prevailing influence you would see more dancing, lip syncing, producer driven records. The answer couldn't be more clear. So you're trying to say that Michael Jackson is responsible for artists lip synching during live concerts? I guess that's MJ's only contribution to music then, huh? What I gather from this topic is that most of you are saying that Michael is a talentless lip syncher who really can't sing (well certainly not when compared to Prince's phenomenal voice right?...pffft) can't dance, can't perform and is just a producer driven artist. A puppet basically  . This is just all too ridiculous but I can't say i'm suprised.I agree. This thread has turned into Prince plays instruments and Michael lip-syncs. PRINCE: Always and Forever

A puppet basically . This is just all too ridiculous but I can't say i'm suprised.Not exactly...MJ biggest influence is his showmanship...the singular spectacle of watching 1 guy put on a show...8 dancers, pyrotech...all the young upstarts of this generation are falling into that mold..MJ is a great artist, but he even seeks out the top producers when he's putting an album out. Not a MJ bash at all...nothing wrong with lip-synching...ain't my thing but...As long as you can back it with pure vocals like MJ it's all good. Prince contribution is more of a sound and image..MJ's sound was the motown QJ production..just the facts 1 over Jordan...the greatest since |

Why can't you do what Prince has done in his 29 years career but almost do what MJ has done in his 39 year career? Okay, technique-wise, though I am not too big on dancing and I can't really sing all that well, I just have this little feeling inside me that I could manage. I think I just might be able to pull off the "Moonwalk" some time in my life. I still attempt to and I think I am getting closer, but it ain't like I keep at it. I don't know, but from experience, it is quite frustrating to play just one instrument as it is, but three or four others is a killer. I mean, "Prince" was a triple threat. He could dance,(Although, he had a small repertoire which made him almost one-dimensional. But, he had the energy through the compactness to kind of mellow it all out), sing (Sometimes, "SANG", even), and play instruments, greatly. "Michael Jackson" appeals more because he's got soul. He's super bad! There's always been this thing about "Soul", "Spirit", and "Charisma" that have weighed everything else down when it comes to some people. Some people don't even need to have the greatest aptitude within their craft ("2Pac": As blaspemous as this may/might be, although he had the greatest "SPIRIT", "SOUL", and "CHARISMA" in the "Rap/Hip-Hop" genre of entertainment, music, and culture. Lyrically, I don't feel that he was the best. But, there was more to him than "Rap". The effect of his life is still prevalent to this day.). I think "Michael Jackson" is one of those people. He is, undoubtedly "THE King of Pop". "Pop" is short for "Popular". So, yeah, now that I think about it, I might want to transgress from that previous statement that you have in bold. OKAY, I admit it! I really couldn't do what "Michael" did and have the same effect, neither do I want to, though. "Pop" has the most listeners of "ALL" genres in music and although I listen to "SOME" of the supposed "MUSIC" in that genre, it is not of my most favorite. I'd rather listen to something that sparks my interest. Although, on the contrary, I will say this, though: In the '80's, "Pop" had my respect at nearly it's greatest in rivaling with the "Late 50's" (Which saw the release of the "MOST INNOVATIVE" release of the "Pop" music genre, ever in most eyes: "Sgt. Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band" by "The Beatles") and throughout all of the '60's. DAMN! I need a breather. I suck at trying to make a short post. Sorry for making it so unbearably long.  I like your post. For me, MJ has the greatest charisma, soul ever. I think that´s also what helped to make him the biggest star. I won´t quarell about who had greater ingluence with you guys. MJ and Prince are very different to me and their influence has been naturally different. "When Michael Jackson is just singing and dancing, you just think this is an astonishing talent. And he has had this astounding talent all his life, but we want him to be floored as well. We really don´t like the idea that he could have it all." | |

Prince has been much more influential musically.
Too many people confuse impact and influence. | |

Michael Jackson has always been a better singer. Better vocals, better soul better skills. Better live singer. Something Prince has never been. Prince is very average, he only shines with his falsetto voice. | |

Obviously you don't like Soul Music or you've never heard Marvin, Otis or Stevie have you? ____ Cinnamon234 said: jn2 said: Prince stayed true to his groove/funk roots MJ didn't and yes I can't find a little bit of sex/sensuality in MJ's voice can you imagine him singing Little Red Corvette or Erotic City ? In 2002 I  when I heard Prince sing SISIA live but you have the right to prefer She's Out Of My Life ("can I get down there"  ).
* . [Edited 6/23/07 10:52am] Well then you have obviously never heard of "Liberian Girl" or "Lady In My Life".

seeingvoices12 said: paisleypark4 said: Timbaland and Pharrell are definitley inspired by Prince. But u see like Rodney Jerkins, Tone & Poke and them. They have more of a Micahel Jackson sound. Mikes influences have space in between their beats. Timb and Pharell rely alot on syth and different sounds and effects to make their i.e. Prince in his hey day and still as of now. Michael yes.....mostly stuck to one genere which is r&b. yeah he had some rock songs like Give In2 Me, Privacy, DS, Dirty Diana and stuff. But Mike never touched on rapping (was Bad rapping?) or jazz or country or hard rock. He did some funk but NOT dirty dirty Funk like Prince. Prince is an experimentor. Mike used to lead, but after Invincible just was following. (How dated does "Unbreakable, Invincible and Heartbreaker sound 2dai?) Du ya understand? Pharrell is heavily infulenced by the Off the wall sound..... pharrel is born in april | |
