Inside Edition:
Meanwhile, the world is learning new revelations about Jackson's final days. He was apparently consumed with jealousy toward his arch rival, the pop star Prince.

"He wanted the show to be bigger than Prince and he mentioned to his choreographer that he was often up late at night because that's when a higher power was channeling creativity to him," says Eric Bates, Executive Editor of Rolling Stone.

The new issue of Rolling Stone magazine says that Jackson was making some bizarre demands before launching the London concerts.

"He wanted at the end of the tour to make an appearance in which he would be recognized for an accomplishment that would appear in the Guinness Book of World Records and it wasn't clear what that accomplishment would be, I don't think Michael knew what it would be," Bates says.

The article is utter nonsense blaming Prince. MJ is worth more dead that he is alive so blame is within himself and his own people.

Uhh whatever..

Michael was bigger than everyone and Prince, and he knew that.

Not better, just bigger.

I think you should change your thread title. It's misleading. This article in no way attempts to blame Prince for anything...let alone MJ's death.

Here we go...

Yes, indeed. The title to this thread is very misleading. I think it should be :
MJ Wanted the Show to be Bigger than Prince", or something along those lines.
