errmmmm, he did a few tracks with his nephews "3T", he produced big hit single "why" and sings vocals on "i need u" I think!



oh yeah and one of my fav tracks ever (purely 4 nostalgia mind u) was "do the bartman".....writing says he did not write it but apparnatly he did.....plus definate full backing vox by Michael.....I love Mikes backing vocals on this (and many other) tracks!


The remix of "do the bartman" is the version I really love though.....it was on the casette single and is callled "house edit", yet sounds nothing like house.....just even more wall of drum programmings and a dance breakdown instead of guitar solo.....infact, track sounds like (production wise) "superfly sister".....exact same drum sounds..no surprise considering Byran loren produced "do the bartman"!

U should, it was no1 in uk and a big hit in US too.....The video to The simpsons "do the bart man" was cool.....


Bart says "if u can do the bartman, ur bad like Michael Jackson!".....If mike did write it, then it is pretty self indulgent don't ya think? I love that line though!

But his career is finished, of course.

That was the first guy I thought of...

2nd runner up is Nikki (I'm sure no one remembers him) He had two videos, 'If U Wanna' and 'Notice Me' that used to get play on The Box.

Oh gosh!!! what was he thinking!!!

raveon2tnek said:

It is interesting that you add my boy Rapheal. At one time, he did tour along with P's band I think it was with the Lovesexy tour. So, you may have a point.

Otherwise, I agree with the points of Blackguitarist, BlackKnight,Subhuman, and Psykosoul.

Cloudbuster said:

hell yeah

fantasyislander said:

To tell the truth, I think this is the only TV special and album that I every liked by Garth Brooks.

Cloudbuster said:

Because Thriller sold 50 million copies worldwide, every subsequent album will be perceived as a flop. Michael set the bar too high for himself.

I'm glad it made number one because that shows how music in general has gone to hell these days. I'm sure it is a great album....well of course, it's a greatest hits album. I'm glad his old stuff, that has been played to DEATH for years, can outsell the newcomers' new shit. I think that's a nice slap in the face to all the dead ass new artists.

Prince Wannabe's Lmfao

KatSkrizzle said:

Biggest prince wannabe is D'angelo. Tell me that Untitled and send it on don't sound like like his best Prince imitation. Rapheal Saadiq only resembles Prince in his writing who is one of D'angelos biggest collaborators.

Soulchild82 said:

We'll if we're going to say D'Angelo, we might as well throw this guy in, too!

Bilal

okaypimpn said:

True But with Saadiq and the Roots as his main collaborators i still gotta go with D'angelo.

Bilal's LP was very good though. I wish he'd come back out.

Soulchild82 said:

Who do you think were Bilal's main collaborators?!

Saadiq produced "Soul Sista" and ?uesto, James Poyser, etc. were all over 1st Born Second.

raveon2tnek said:

r u kidding me??? There r a lot more out there then that lil list u put up.....

BlaqueKnight said:

just as some of you need to admit that some of the artists you enjoy rely on aspects of other artists careers. i agre that there are many fams that would even go so far as to say little richard copied prince...no doubt some are beyond help. because someone happens to think an artist you like has mimiced aspects of p's career doesn't make it a false claim or a fammy fam statement. next thing you know, you'll be saying readyt for the world was an original band.

psykosoul said:

I have Nikki's tape somewhere... he did want to be Prince.

SassyBritches said:

So you are saying that all the artists listed would never have attained success without Prince? BWWHAHAHAHAHA!!!! All of these artists sell reocrds because people LIKE THEM. All artists are influenced by other artist, but you fans take it too far sometimes. Maxwell, D'Angelo, Raphael, TTD and Lenny all sell on their own merits. Exactly what apect of Prince's career are they relying on? They all have their own careers and fanbases.

U weren't lying... are you a soothsayer or have you just been around too long?

Anyways... let's not discriminate over gender and throw Alicia in the mix... experienced her in concert recently and she's a Prince wanna-be if I ever saw one, but unlike certain other people round here I dig her thing...

I agree with your points. However, we do have to keep in mind that Rapheal at one point in time did tour with Prince. He toured with P during the Lovesexy Tour.

As for TTD and Maxwell , I wouldn't be so quick to say that they are P wanna be b/c they are talented men in their own right.

However, D'angelo and Lenny did bite alot of P style. So, they are kind of P wannbe's in my opninion.
