MJ & Prince Just had to post this cos its just so funny
MICHAEL 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 | |

I think there was more goodwill between these two guys than we were led to believe. Who ever said Prince has lost it - has lost it. The Kid's still got game! | |

If Michael wasn't on all those drugs he could have pulled it off. Prince works hard at his craft, he is the turtle in "the turtle and hare" race. | |

Why do people still go on about MJ?
He is right up there with Gary Glitter. | |

MJ was innocent, never convicted by the court  Prince 4Ever.  | |

^ I agree it looks bad and suspicious, the first case in 1993... but again Michael was never found "guilty" by the court. Prince 4Ever. | |

Of course he wasnt. The record companys had too much money to lose if he was convicted. The power of cash is greater than humanity. | |

Time to close the thread before it get out of hand ...  I'm not a fan of "old Prince". I'm not a fan of "new Prince". I'm just a fan of Prince. Simple as that | |

Time to close the thread before it get out of hand ... MJ was so loco! A monkey can dance. It takes talent to write great lyrics & music. "I have so much love for Prince. But why don't they look at me that way"- MJ | |

I fully agree with you. People, get real...Prince doesn;t have that kind of power or the incline to do such a thing. I doubt this type of conversation even took place. Prince's Sarah | |
