read the whole thread, but trust me, youll get angry!!



just posted, this:

What u think?


Listen Micheal Jackson on paper compared 2 Prince, is far below, We know Prince can play most type of musical instuments, while micheal jackson is not know for that. Prince is much stronger as a musical than jackson, so taht is why he has composed all his cataloge from the start.

While jackson has written and composed a lot less of his work. Thus, logically cant write his own music, and ONLY skill is vocals. Also Prince has the unqiue skill of playin by EAR, somethin jackson could dream of.

Proof Thriller was ceograped and composed by Quincy Jones, he made jackson a star, and give his biggest hit.

Also lets test and access this like it is. Prince & jackson have almost the same prolonging careers, 30 years. But who is more consistant.

Easy Prince, where jackson takes it easy and realeases an album after 4 years, obviously it will sell, more demand. But Prince the more complete musican, has produced an album every year, somethin jackson is not capable of, hes an ENTERTAINER, while Prince is a MUSICIAN.

Thats what has 2 esablished, before.

Like i said consistant, Prince has made more $ than jackson, with musicology sellin 8 million, while jacsons last 2 albums did much worse.

Live Prince we all know is more the complete performer, jackson can only dream of sellin 200,000 tickets in 20 mins!

i use to go see them both backstage frequently years ago... they were both good in concert but as said they were both completely different..

MJ was more just dancing and singing songs, dont get me wrong i liked it but it was always in the back of my mind that hes just singing alot of songs other people wrote... i actually went to stay at Rod Tempertons mansion who wrote Thriller. the songwriters MJ had were incredibly talented.

but then you compare to Prince....he writes his own songs... plays the guitar like no other... does dancing... and sings some really emotional songs... sometimes after some of his songs and guitar solos i would be thinking to myself 'jesus christ did that just really happen' LOL. i just preffered the whole vibe at P's concerts it was alot more serious.. not so 'boyband vibe' like MJ's...

Prince can thank MJ for making him the best artist of this generation. People have lost touch with MJ's ability and brilliance because of his stupid actions and lack out output. Prince, on the otherhands, just does what he does best, makes and performs great music.

What Im trying to say is that YES they are comparable because of the fact that they are from the same generation, superstars of the MTV generation, both introverted geniuses, both amazing dancers and wrote some of the biggest hits ever. Both have massive fan bases and both have performed incredible concerts..

But they are both dynamic characters with lots of DIFFERENCES.. P is more funky jazz, MJ is pop and soul. P is more experimental, MJ is more commercial, etc..

Anyway, I beleive that if MJ hadnt acted so stupidly over his career, he would be seen as one of the greatest artists of this generation and possibly of all time, but instead he HAS so the mantle has automatically gone to Prince instead.
