Who is the bigger control freak? Prince, Madonna or Michael Jackson?

I say it's a 3 way tie.

Here is how you tell:

Look at the linear notes for their various albums. Which artist has the least mount of collaborators? Prince. More talented musically, and more of a control freak. Madonna and MJ allow themselves to be produced by others. Shit, even Elvis produced all of his own music.

Prince, of course. No contest, end of story. And I actually admire that about him, he's a guy that knows what he wants and does what he can to get it.

Probably Prince, but I think he has GOOD reason to be one!

Prince.

Madonna is has been married the longest of the 3. Guy Ritchie doesn't seem pussy whipped.

MJ seems too easily manipulated by people around him to be THAT controlling. It seems he only manipulates young boys successfully. shrug


One of the things that brought it home to me was watching the Prince interview on Oprah. Mayte was saying shit like "I never called him..Prince?" etc. etc. This is all bullshit obviously, but what made it so interesting to me was knowing that she was saying these somewhat rehearsed words only days or weeks after having lost her child. And Prince would look over at her nervously when she openned her mouth a few times like "Bitch, I hope you're gettin' your lines right."

I swear, Prince be the chairman of the Fed Exchange. Then my stocks wouldn't see saw.

Aww...if you ask me,
they're all just a bunch of dick-swingers.

Prince's is in control,
Michael's is a freak,
&, of course, Madonna's is bigger.

Prince... but I can't fault him. I've been in the studio before (not music) & worked alone for hours & hours & gone from steps a to z & put the finishing touches on everything & felt like my name should have been on everything too. I can relate. I would have done the same thing & apparently have been talked about too. shrug lol

I would love to see these three end up in a room together for a couple hours. I wonder who would come out alive. I wonder what they would talk about. What would they do? Damn, this would be an awesome show. biggrin

Float that idea to the networks, you'd have one helluva reality show.

Well...officially he used different "producers" (most notably Sam Phillips, Chet Atkins and Felton Jarvis) - but in the studio, Elvis himself would always be the boss...

Oh the possibilities.

I doubt Prince could last five minutes unless he had complete control over what was going on... but then again, I don't know Prince... although at times, I feel like I do.

Wouldnt this apply to Madonna also? She uses producers, but I hear she's a bitch in the studio. Basically, they work for her and get the sound that Madonna wants, not the sound that they can give Madonna.

You have to also give her credit for using underground producers for the better part of her career
