Is the Face Down performance from the Chris Rock show the only time Prince has mimicked Michael Jackson? I always thought it was the funniest thing to see him do that, and always wondered if there were other times, maybe during live performances.

I can't remember the cities but I know he did MJ during a few soundchecks on the ONA tour.

When I went to the Seattle show he played "Billie Jean" during the rehearsal. Half way through the chords Prince said..it's a great song. I may be wrong but I think thats the only time he's played a MJ song live. Needless to saw most of us that were there were in complete shock that he played that!!

I've seen him mimick michael during the rave concert, when he sang?? U got the look I think (i'd have to check) He also wore one glove in the purple rain live concert, which he took off and dropped as a symbol, or put down of some sort.

Man, is that true?

I always thought his impression of Terence Trent D'arby at the Park in '87 was better

Yes.

I'm just trying to imagine Prince covering that song... I'd have payed good money to have seen that.

Madonna did a bit of Billie Jean as well. You can see it on her Virgin Tour Video halfway through the Like a Virgin performance.

Yes it was quite a treat!

Prince plsyed, will an NPG member sang Billie Jean, during thr Brisbane sound check in 2003.

Prince also played "the way you make me feel" during some of the aftershows on the Lovesexy tour.

since you put "doing" in brackets i thought this topic was about prince screwing MJ or something.
