Prince in Micheal Jackson video.

Many people don't know it but MJ asked Prince to be in his video for Bad.

Michael wanted Prince to play the bad guy in his bad video.We'd have had the 80's 2 biggest artists fighting in a New York parking garage. Anyway Prince refused and the part went to Wesely Snipes. Yes that's Wesely whom slaps Mike and says"Is this what they taught you at that sissy school of your?".

Actually so many people know about it its in the FAQ.

5.5 Has Prince ever worked with Michael Jackson?

No. They have met, chatted, played table tennis, had dinner, and most likely discussed projects. It is believed that MJ offered to record "Bad" as a duet with Prince, but Prince turned the idea down flat.

Prince also offered up "Wouldn't You Love To Love Me", but MJ turned it down.

Prince was pencilled in to sing a line on MJ's joint composition "We Are The World", but he never ended up at the recording session....but that's a whole different story!


No, I don't live on this site like a lot of ppl but this has come up quite a bit in the past few months! smile

I think Prince turned it down because he's another big artists who's totally different from Michael.

Prince really doesn't love Michael's style. He said in a 2000 interview that Michael was a plant placed by himself.

I just dont' think he likes getting compared to someone like MJ. MJ is a commercial artist who cares more about selling records than good music.
Don't hurt me, I'm a newb. I'm supposed to be stupid.

No, he didn't.

In the interview, Prince was asked who would win in a fist fight - Prince or Michael Jackson?

Prince laughed and then suggested jokingly to the rest of the people there that the questioner had been planted in the audience ... by himself. Moreover, he doesn't suggest anywhere during the press conference that he doesn't like Michael Jackson's style.

Quincy said on the special edition bad cd that Prince thought it would be a hit even without him....

Listing to the Bad song these days, it such an annyoing song?

I think if there was ever a duet I think Bad would of been a terrible choice.

bored at yet another MJ thread. They're just excuses to degrade him and it's totally 'been there, done that'.

"Then don't read the thread!"

Well, stop making threads about him if you dislike him so much! lol

That doesnt make any sense! if i t is in the FAQ then that must be because it is frequently asked i.e. not many people are aware of the answer/fact
