MJ - "If I'm not there to recieve these ideas..God will give them to Prince" He thought of Prince even in his last days.
From Entertainment Weekly. This week's cover: An exclusive first look at the new Michael Jackson movie by EW staff Categories: Michael Jackson, This Week's Cover When tickets for Michael Jackson’s This Is It went on sale on Sept. 27, hundreds of shows around the globe sold out in less than 24 hours, without anyone knowing quite what it even was — a concert movie? A documentary? “It’s somewhere in between,” says Sony Pictures co-chair Amy Pascal of the film, which consists of behind-the-scenes footage of Jackson rehearsing for his planned comeback concerts at London’s O2 arena. “It’s a movie about rehearsing for a concert that never happened. It’s heartbreaking and inspiring at the same time. It gives you chills.” Now, with the October 28th worldwide release of the movie fast approaching, the late pop star’s collaborators open up about working with Jackson during his precarious last days. At age 50 Jackson hadn’t toured in more than a decade, but while his team worried at times about his health, his imagination was as active as ever. In fact, as the production got under way, it quickly became clear that Jackson’s creative ambitions for the concerts were beyond anything he’d ever attempted. With the budget already past $24 million, Jackson told his team he wanted to recreate one of the world’s largest waterfalls — Victoria Falls in southern Africa — on the stage. “I was ready to jump off the balcony of my office,” says Randy Phillips, president of the concert promotion firm AEG Live. “We went and met with Michael, and [director] Kenny [Ortega] said, ‘Michael, you’ve got to stop. We’ve got an incredible show, we don’t need any more vignettes.’ Michael said, ‘But Kenny, God channels this through me at night. I can’t sleep because I’m so supercharged.’ Kenny said, ‘But Michael, we have to finish. Can’t God take a vacation?’ Without missing a beat, Michael said, ‘You don’t understand — if I’m not there to receive these ideas, God might give them to Prince.’ ” For more on the upcoming Michael Jackson movie, including exclusive photos, pick up the new issue of Entertainment Weekly on stands Friday, October 16th Every minute of last night is on my face today.... | |

He's talking about "Prince" the singer.
PRINCE RIVALRY KEPT JACKSON UP AT NIGHTMICHAEL JACKSON's longtime pop rivalry with PRINCE was partly to blame for the superstar's death - because he worked himself into the grave to make sure his comeback shows in London were better than anything the PURPLE RAIN hitmaker could produce. Randy Phillips, the promoter behind the ill-fated comeback shows, has revealed the costs of the This Is It production were spiralling out of control in the weeks leading up to the King of Pop's death in June (09) - because the pop superstar couldn't stop coming up with expensive ideas. Phillips, the president of promotion firm AEG Live which organised the London concerts, held a meeting with Jackson and his musical director Kenny Ortega and begged the star to stop adding ideas. He tells Entertainment Weekly magazine that Jackson was worried Prince would get the ideas if he ignored them. He explains, "We went and met with Michael, and Kenny said, 'Michael, you've got to stop. We've got an incredible show, we don't need any more vignettes.' "Michael said, 'But Kenny, God channels this through me at night. I can't sleep because I'm so super-charged.' "Kenny said, 'But Michael, we have to finish. Can't God take a vacation?' Without missing a beat, Michael said, 'You don't understand - if I'm not there to receive these ideas, God might give them to Prince.'" http://www.contactmusic.c...ht_1119199 | |

I'm a believer that they helped make each other great buy trying to outdo each other in the 80's. It was such an exciting time in pop music having these giants putting out brilliance. I really do beieve MJ, Prince (and Madge) were the last TRUE icons. Every minute of last night is on my face today.... | |

Here we go again with your trolling bitter ass  . You wish MJ was obsessed with Prince. MJ has Prince beaten in many categories (awards, sales, popularity etc.). And it may be quite possible that MJ influenced/inspired Prince when MJ was in the Jackson 5 growing up. Remember they were the same age. Both have great music. Both are/were (one's dead now) extremely talented. Both are legends. Time to move on, homie. You are creating a rivarly that wasn't there in the first place. Both had mad respect for each other. This is not the eighties anymore. Move on. BTW, learn how to spell. | |
