I have never seen Prince and Whitney Houston hangin out
maybe he's avoiding her too (not that I'd blame him).

How in the world did this thread get in2 a "lipsynching match-up". At some point in their careers, they've both lipsynched.We all know what they can do, so why does that even matter now? Case closed.

David Z, one of Prince's old engineers, witnessed Mike & Prince playing ping-pong (circa 1986). Mike didn't know how 2 play, and Prince took full advantage of it.
Mike gracefully bowed out in defeat. Prince said after he left, "Did u see that? He played like Helen Keller". They've both kept alot of video footage over the years, I hope they captured this moment.

Lmfao

hehe that sounds like Prince too lol

I never understood the whole Prince vs. MJ situation. I think the media played that up WAY TOO MUCH.

Now on the other hand, the Prince vs Rick James situation was very real, their styles and music were very similar, and their egos were huge.

As for Prince and MJ, both of them are so private, that they probably have met each other on numerous occasions, but have purposely avoided the public and the media, they're not stupid. Can you imagine the media take on their friendship? The media would go insane with that, the "gay" issue. They probably talked about that. So I think they are good friends and respect each other, but cannot work with each other, they really don't need to work with each other anyway.

I understand your points. but i seriously doubt they are good friends or friends at all. not only do they have a history of making little stabs at each other, Like Princes comment about the Bad situation on VH1 and MJ's Reaction to the Purple Rain movie, But I think there respect is musically and that is where it stops.

.....i've said it B4 & i say it again: Prince & Mike have a prepubescent animosity that goes back to their 1st meeting...if these 2 guys gave N2 the illusion of competition they've had it N 4 one another from jump!!! there was some interview or quote from Sharon (Nelson=1 of P's siblings) about how they wanted 2 B a performing family=a la Jacksons, Sylvers, etc. but brotha Prince was looking @ a solo venture...since both of them came out n the same year (1958) mayB that's where all this stuff comes from

for some reason....


i always thought that mike/ prince and possbily madonna {?} held monthly meetings to talk about who's doing what/ new albums/ family/ charts/ etc...


it dont seem too crazy to yall do it?

they all royalty, so they got to keep up on whats going on w/ each other in order for them not to clash publicly..... u never know.

As much as they both say they would talk to each other they wont.I beleave its because of the world compairing the 2 of them that made it that way.

Yeah, that was a historic nite. Prince and MJ were together. Both at the public height of their careers at that moment.

Of course P doesn't like Mike, that's like 2 divas falling in love with eachother. Prin said that Michael was a plant(spy) sent by himself.

But one important no gotherther between the artists was when Mike asked Prince to be the other guy in Bad. Prince declines so the bad guy was played by Wesely Snipes.

I'm not saying Prince hasn't lip synched on TV. However, you would never go to a Prince concert and see him lip synch a whole set of songs. With MJ you would. Not saying it's right or wrong-just saying that's how it is.
