Since you guys seem to like these days "VS." topic, here is a double "VS." one!

First let me make this clear, I love both of these artist, I've started listening BAD from Michael Jackson in my walkman when I was about 6 or 7, don't remember.
Then one day I saw batdance on TV, I asked my mother "Who is that guy shooting ladies and playing the guitar? »
Don't know how she found an answer but actually I remember well she said "he is known as to be MJ's brother"
"How cool!" I said, "I want his album! »
Then I start listening to Batman along with BAD. Life couldn't be any better...

So why this Versus?

Back in the 80's and 90's I heard a lot of dismissed on Prince coming from MJ fans, in the other way, I always found that Prince fans had respect for MJ

The typical example is a hysteric MJ fan I heard one day on the radio, she was saying that Prince was gay, dressed like a woman, very small etc. She was also clamming that his music was crap and could not stand him.

I've never heard such thing coming from any Prince Fan mouth when talking about MJ. Ok sometime someone can make a joke but that's it.

It's like the topic on this forum about a fake Prince interview, posted on a MJ forum, I read that and I was disappointed because it was not funny at all.

Well I think the « Michael Jackson vs. Prince» is a bit more aggressive or negative than «Prince vs. Michael Jackson ", just my though. I don't blame anybody, I love both. Other people are missing something.

it was i posted that interview,i just thought it weird yet amusing simply because they must see prince as a man who is sexiest pig.who trys 2 get into everything with legs.I 2 love both artists.MJ is a great Singer and great entertainer.Prince is a great singer,musician and entertainer.but 4 MJ i thinks its just as much 4 the entertainment(media hype,costumes,massive dazzling concerts etc) as it is his music and as for Prince its all about the music.thats why P is more admired by myself than MJ.ofcourse if u asked me that 2 years ago it would hav been diffrent i also hav the same birthday as MJ 29th August

also does any1 know if these 2 hav ever been friends? or got on well? just curious

Uh,Prince!

I've got a fantastic snippet of Prince at a press conference where a Journalist asks who does he think would win in a fight - Him (prince) or Michael Jackson?

Prince cuts straight back with "Michaels a lover, not a fighter!"

Ha, ha! Prince is too fast!!!

Prince is Prince and Michael is Michael.

Quincy Jones asked Prince to duet with MJ on BAD!!!!

Prince was supposed to play the part similar to what ended up going to Wesley Snipes in the video!!!
