Prince:That's no dis to my boy Michael

On Tom Joyner, while talking about Life O' The Party which features the 'high voice/nose job'line, he said "That's no dis to my boy Michael. I'm just making a statement: I never had my nose done. There was massive speculation but we never wrote it that way."

Tom Joyner then quipped that 15 years ago, if someone told him MJ would be in this kinda trouble....(Prince makes a disaproving 'mm' sound, Joyner feels it and laughs arkwardly...I wouldn't, you know....I'da said Prince first!!"

Prince comes back "Ahhhh, it's like that huh? (with humour)"

Tom lays the song and Prince just doesn't seem comfortable with implied criticism of MJ, as he 'mm's. twice more.

Sorry, don't believe Prince there. Methinks he was just backpedaling during that interview because he didn't want to be drawn into a conversation about MJ. That statement by MJ got a lot of publicity, the second I heard those lyrics I immediately made the connection. twocents

since of Last year there has been a speculation of Prince Meeting Up with Michael in Canada a while Back
it was also a Mysterious Connection that afterwards MJ tried to buy the WB catalogue Later...
MJ reportedly When he bought the ATV catlogue gave all the black muscians included thier rights
including Little Richard
i always thought he would of done it for Prince...
Why shouldn't they get along
Mj's an Ex JW and Prince is one
Im sure the Jackson Family approves of him now

Hmm....not sure where you're from, but around my parts that statement got LOTS of publicity. Every single person who I've told that lyric to automatically said "Hilarious, he's talking about Michael Jackson."

Does anyone else think it's creepy the way Prince says "WE never wrote it that way"? Uh, who's we? Because the only person given credit for writing it in the liner notes is PRINCE. Okay, that's another pet peeve of mine...since when did PRINCE always have to be in capital letters? Once again, we can all blame Sam Jennings, aka Samnation, aka PeePee9.

The Symbolic Three thing pertaining to TGE was discussed here (again) just the other day.

It relates to the New Power Trio (several variations on that name) - Prince, Sonny, Michael B.

Um, when someone refers to someone as my boy or my girl that's just a saying, it doesn't have to be referred to a friend or anyone. It's just a term.

When I heard the lyrics about "voice is even higher, and I never had my nose done" I didn't think of MJ, I just thought of all the girls I know that have asked me if Prince had plastic surgery since the 1999 days (they swear his nose got narrow somewhere allong the way), and the criticism that he wasn't singing in his high voice on Ellen during "I Feel For You"

I believe that prince is (as usual) referring to himself or his own controversy.

prince should fess up. it comes off as a jab.

or, if it wasn't, it was another one of those weird lyrical 'plays' subject to misinterpretation. i mean obviously he had to have known it would be taken that way, no? why's he DO that? lol

was it a coincidence that 'billy jack bitch' *vaguely* referenced CJ? or that one of the jewish names in 'family name' happened to be that of a music exec he was at war with? i dunno. i think he takes jabs when he feels like it, when his rage builds up too far. but, has to hide it because he's a public figure and all

WTF eek

VAGUE? lol Give me a break... this is a npgmc type comment.

disbelief
IT WAS A JAB.. how can you NOT see that? granted, he might be clarifyin that he really hasnt had a nose job, but its related to his "rival" that has a squeaky voice just like prince. it has a direct relationship u cant possibly believe prince on this "my boy michael" BS..


How can u see the missey comment as a jab but the "nose" jab not on michael? does he have to give names for every jab? I wouldnt even call the missy one a jab anyway..

I think Prince makes it a habit to throw in lyrics here and there on every album that make absolutely no damn sense but to anyone but him so that everyone else can discuss whether he meant anything profound or insulting figuring he can kick out a few more album sales to those who simply want to hear it for themselves so they can join in the discussion. The man definitely lurks here.

A pretty good PR move.

Naturally he would backpedal a bit when it comes up in interviews so as not to appear too malicious. But who else is famous for a high voice and nose jobs? Of course it's a freakin' jab at MJ. He already let it be known what a joke he thinks the man is- remember the Chris Rock interview?
