We all know Prince and Michael were strongly influenced by the dance moves of James Brown.

After recently watching Michael, LIVE IN 1992 - Bucharest, I have 2 say that his James moves, esp the leg sliding thing, might top those of Prince. Other than Mike's traditional kick the leg thang, the energy he put in2 it would make ya'll say DAMN.

The closest I've seen Prince come 2 expressing the same energy in James' techniques is in Baby I'm a Star LIVE.

I would recommend ya'll check out that Michael concert though.

most people on here I have seen it. MJ could do all types of shit with legs. look at the dance mj link i have.

He was no JB or MJ with the moves, but Prince was no slouch either, he's right up there with the best.

Hey, cool stuff on that MJ link you have

We all know Prince and Michael are two music superstars

After recently living through the year 2004 ,when Prince was the biggest concert draw in the U.S. and Michael spent most of the year in court, I have 2 say that Michael is most likely a parody of his old self- child molester or not.

And that's a fan of both MJ and Prince telling you that.

There's no doubt that MJ is a fantastic, innovative, naturally gifted dancer. Prince is pretty good occasionally, but he's not really known for his dancing like MJ.

Prince danced a lot more like James Brown during the Parade era. I don't think you can dismiss Prince's energy until you check out live footage from that period, also parts of the Sign O' The Times tour, plus he also he danced a lot during the Diamonds & Pearls tour era though some of it was quite silly to look at now.

it seems to me that jackson is too precise and smooth and geometric, I think prince is much more like james brown with his sort of "inspired" moves.

thanks for the link...i have most of those clips but it was great to see them in that order...thanx

said it before,say it now, michael might be better but prince's dancing is cooler.

Michael's a better dancer and hes had more successful hits, but Prince is a superior showman and musician and thats what is important to me. Its the whole package, Prince is the all in one star.
Also the rumour is Prince was taken 2 a JB concert when he was 10 by his father, and he got up 2 the stage and started dancing.
