MJ.

Not sure about the dancing feet, but I'd say MJ has busier hands.

MJ, is the better dancer. Prince is the better performer. If that makes any sense...

Prince for me.Enjoy his spontanaity more.Its got more rhythm and soul.Don't get me wrong MJ did have some fantastic moves in his heyday, but it was all planned and rehearsed, whereas Prince goes with the flow which is far more enjoyable to watch.

MJ seems to be the master of perfection. You can tell he's studied his moves, worked out the timing to a tee and practiced his ass off!

Prince seems to be 'on the moment'. The 1993 tour was probably the last time he had really set choreography. He has his 'moves' (ie. splits, spins etc) but he seems more spontaneous (very James Brown inspired I think)

It's like comparing Miles Davis to Wynton Marsalis - two totally different approaches.

but obviously MJ is the better dancer.

Ain't no shame in a Prince fan admitting that.

yes please I'm young and I have a bet with somebody at NPGMC please don't lock this and thanx for the caution!

PEJ said:

that is NOT a newbie. you know it as well as i do.

Handclapsfingasnapz said:

okay as you wish but I ain't seen this thread here ... then again I haven't spent as much time in the Prince forums like I probably should have instead of the dramatic GD or P&R

I would love to see MJ dancing like Prince and Prince dancing Moonwalk!
It must be funny. But at all I love Prince and his dancing like Instable.

Equally fluid and light on their feet, not to mention they complement each other well (MJ can't nail the splits, and Prince can only dream of moonwalkin' like Mike), but Prince's slim repertoire can't compare to MJ's more electrifying and diverse.

MJ can actually be very spontaneous himself. He's very rehearsed but not EVERY show on, let's say, his "Bad" tour is the same, note for note, move for move.

Hell yeah I totally agree.

I wonder if they ever imitated one another when rehearsinfg or just for fun in their own time.... I I could see Prince telling himself I better not do it that way....that was too Michaelish...

Michael Jackson ain't sexy. That makes all the differences. Prince's moves know how to reel in the ladies.

Remember when he performed "Face Down" on Chris Rock's show? He went "EEE-HEEE!!!" into the microphone and then did a Michael Jackson kick.

I never get tired of watching P do his thang but where are the astoundingly fresh moves nowadays? As far as I can tell, both have kept to roughly the same repertoire, with maybe a minor alteration or new little twist here and there.

MJ is funner to watch. Prince is a better performer though, i must agree.

MJ may be the better dancer but he creeps me out with his constant crotch grabbing. it's like he has to check that it's there all the time. lol.

prince can boogie and shake that booty to a good jam!

This isn't much of a contest. PRince, mutha fuckas

Hell yeah that shit was funny as hell.

I was speaking of his concerts, not necessarily his "moves."

Prince changes sets and songs each tour. Michael merely added songs to the same 70's show he's been touring forever.

M'kay.. sorry 'bout that.
