I think Prince was the drive behind a lot of the insecurities that Michael suffered.And for some reason, MJ was always pursuing him

Well he did try to beat Prince's record in London

When MJ goes (went) to sleep every night, he checks/ed under the bed or his closet for Prince.

He beat Prince's record. Prince= 21 Michael=50
This is, OBVIOUSLY, a clear indication that Michael was deeply in love with P.

We all know Prince can kill two stones with a bird. In fact, if you have 5 dollars and Prince has 5 dollars, Prince has more money than you. There is no theory of evolution; just a list of creatures Prince has allowed to live.
Prince doesn’t wear a watch, HE decides what time it is.

I mean, with that said...who isn't in love with Prince, isn't it? Everyone wants to be JUST like him. Why would Michael be different?

Michael spent all his life trying to be like Prince...even when Prince was just a bullied kid nicknamed "Skipper" and few people in this world knew who his ass was. We all know that, don't we?

He never delivered so Prince's record stands.

OnlyNDaUsa said:

Exactly. And even if Michael delivered, Prince's record would stand. Because he is Prince and anyone who happens to be a human being wants to be just like him.

I always found it curious that MJ named both of his sons Prince

eros said:

Because he wanted them to be just like Prince. In fact, everyone wants to.

BTW, Prince does not "style" his hair. It lays perfectly in place out of sheer terror.

you're quite the condescending ass, aren't you?

eros said:

No. You are the ass here. You are the one who hasn't realized that I'm being sarcastic. Michael had a greedy family, three beautiful kids, business pressure, concerts, a financial situation and a lot more things to take care of or to be worried about. Do you really think he would be "in love" with a man he didn't even know? Does this make sense to you? Or your blind eyes don't allow you to realize that P isn't the center of the world to everyone?

Humor It's what's for dinner!

I've always wanted to comment on one of these MJ related threads before they got locked. So I just wanted to say...
I've got a lovely bunch of coconuts. There they are all standing in a row. Big ones, small ones, some as big as your head.

MOL said:

My thoughts are this thread will be locked before the night is over.

Dayclear said:

Nonsense. He could have beat it with 22, or 25, if that was his goal. And what if Bon Jovi plays more shows than Prince? Does that mean they planned to beat Prince? It's that kind of nonsense "rivalry" that the media loves for folks to feed into. If anything, MJ wanted to join forces w/ Prince, and make something big happen. It's Prince who refused. Frankly, I think Prince was scared part of the time...or he was just too egotistical to relinquish any control.

EHEHE! I so think you're right.

MOL said:

hmmm
actually they did know one another
and furthermore--just because you lack the ability to theorize or to come up with an original thought doesn't give you the right to deride someone who does

peace

Record schmecord. I hope Bon Jovi plays 22 shows just so Prince fans get their purple nickers in a twist forever more. They're sure to dismiss Bon Jovi, but the facts will stand, should that happen.

But Prince was and always will be FIRST.

eros said:

???

Hey, honey, I will study, OK? Make sure you get out of the computer for one or two hours; go do something outdoors, go have fun with your friends...this is driving you nuts.

MOL said:

oh yeah...now comes when the antagonist feigns being sooo over it

that's always effective--I love it

In this video, MJ asks James Brown to invite Prince on stage with them, it's quite sweet really:

Let's reach a point here: you claimed that MJ named his kids after Prince and that he was in love with the guy. To me- and even though I respect your opinion- that does not make any sense. Plain and simple. I'm not here to offend anyone. If I harmed/offended you, I'm sorry. Whether that is antagonist, not antagonist, effective, not offective or whatever...is that really important? BTW, you can be damn sure I'm not going to be the "condescending ass".

Find love on the MJ sticky.
