PrintableThese kind of threads are guaranteed to always bring out the Pro-Prince and Pro-Mj fans, as well as the obligatory post of them both on stage with James Brown (cue the tape).
What I say next isn't out of disrespect to anyone, or any fan but is just my point of view. For me I never understood the whole "mutually exclusive" appreciation of these artists. It was like in the 80s the line was drawn (mostly by the media and record companies to generate copy and sales) and you couldn't be a TRUE fan if you liked both. For me, I was lucky enough to get into each artist independently of the other before they both had Thriller and Purple Rain. And doing so has given me a rich musical experience that has allowed me to see how both artists have influenced each other, how both have grown and how both have put out some of the best music going. To deny yourself, one way of the other, is to deny some of the greatest influences in modern music. It's no doubt that these artists illicit great passion in fans, I guess I am just thankful that I could share a passion for both. Swa "I'm not human I'm a dove, I'm ur conscience. I am love" | |

FACT: if mj wanted to do a world tour it would sell out, and on a much greater scale than prince could ever hope for. It's not that he can't do it it's that he won't do it. you people are so delusional i can't believe you actually think mj wants to be prince Maybe you should think back and recall that Michael asked for Prince to tour with him... Wonder why? Because MJ knows his career is close to over and he needs a miracle to pull him out of this mess. Prince is still current and very much in demand. NO..hes not selling millions of albums but he is still recording and selling none the less. MJ is a great dancer but He cant sing live, he cant play instruments, he doesnt even write most of his lyrics..and NEWSFLASH, he doesnt come up with all his dance moves either. (and at almost 51, his dancing days are coming to a close) Yea, MJ could do a tour and make some money...but doubt itll be a world wide sell out. [Edited 2/22/09 15:44pm] Dude, are you familiar with Michael's work? and Michael never asked Prince to tour with him. People think because people don't play instruments or don't write every song on their albums means they aren't talented. It's the music industry, people work in teams Check Michael's work on The Jacksons' Epic albums, his solo albums, and work he did for other artists like Diana Ross, Greg Philliganes, Ralph Tresvant, his sisters, Blackstreet, and others [Edited 2/22/09 16:30pm] Umm..that really has nothing to do with my point. Thats the past. We're talking about right now. In the past..youre right..MJ didnt need Prince at all! But now.. he needs all the help he can get. | |

He's still doing well sales wise and he definitely have a successful tour "We may deify or demonize them but not ignore them. And we call them genius, because they are the people who change the world." |

I will say this... There is one page i wish Prince would have taken from MJ's book. In MJ's last tv special with his brothers, he came out at the end with a suitcase and set it on a stool. Those who saw it know the rest. I think it would have been cool to see Prince stroll out on stage with a suitcase, open it and pull out the Purple trench coat with the studded shoulder... | |
