You have made some good points. I am inclined to agree with you.

Booshit

I think Michael is Far superior vocalist to Prince. i however think that George Michael is the only other male singer that could compete with either of those two. but seriously Michael vs. prince???/ now if it was MJ Vs. Lenny Kravitz then we'd be talking.....

why is everyone always talkign about mj here...i thought this was PRINCE.org...and there are constant threads about his annoyance...go post at mjisgay.com or something...

p.s mj can sing..yes...but he sounds like a boy before puberty..

Prince isssss sooooo much better at singing

I know a few folks who say ewwwww when Prince sings that song

Mike. I mean, there are a LOT of P's songs and i'm just like I like M.J.'s voice in "Stranger In Moscow" though. i want some strawberry milk.

...and there it is. The truth has been spoken. May as well say

Raine said:

Some of P's songs wouldn't sound good if sung by MJ, and vice versa, quite frankly.

I think that Michael, by nature, is a good singer, his trademark little sreams and yells sounding fresh unto The Thriller album, but after that those signatures became sounding more and more forced, and more a manierism, then a real expression of soul...

And when you look to the material of the 'dangerous' tour, you hear a voice which is not in full form, and much of the vocal lines are on tape even to disguise that. After that it even became worse: i remember Michael Jackson doing some guest appaerance with the Backstreet Boys or 'N Sync (one of those boybands at least) on an award-show, not only he was playbacking the song in a very bad way, his dancemoves were just a shadow of what he was capable off in the eighties and he seemed to be on drugs...or something. Very sad to watch.

I must admit i have never seen footage from Michael as a livesinger in the seventies and early eighties, but i have to say Prince is a better livesinger then Michael, and only seems to improve while singing vocally live the last
2 - 3 years.

(By the way.....dont slab me for it, but its my honest opinion, there are singers who sing way better live then Prince, but maybe thats something for another subject)

this is impossible to choose,

am sure your mind changes as through time, ,

I could listen to the song GOD right now and say hell yeah its Prince

but then tomorrow i would listen to FALL AGAIN, choose Mike deffinetly.
am sure it depends on your mood and personal taste at the time.

i hate sitting on the Fence but this question gives me a sore head. lol

You wont get a sorehead when you discover how much more great music is around...

Open your heart, open your mind...

They are both vocal and musical geniuses. I totally respect Mike's talent. I just prefer Prince ,all things considered.I was really into Mike's stuff as a kid until I got pimp slapped by Prince's music. It was over,then.I have most of Mike's output,but I'm not obssessive about him like I am Prince and I really hardly ever listen to Mike.I don't find his music that daring or soaring.

I just discovered the extended mix of "You Can't Win" and IMO, it totally kills the soundtrack version (although I always loved the way he sings "of the game" at the end.)Dude was trying to channel Stevie on the 12" single.

Co-sign. I loved Mike's music as a kid. Even as a young teen. But if you listen to his stuff, it is very safe, clean, smooth music. When I first heard Prince, Michael's stuff looked like Pat Boone compared to Prince's Little Richard.

Mainstream, Perry Como like genius--Michael Jackson.
Edgy, dangerous music, like Elvis at his youth--Prince.

Both types are good. But Prince's music is so much more interesting and varied in scope.

i think michaels voice is as good as it ever was. i was just listening to 'what more can i give' with all those celebrities on it. and it made me realize just how good and unique his voice really is. he just stood out on that song, and i remeber watching the martin bashir documentry (the thing that made me a michael jackson fan) so at the time i was not a fan, and in it he was singing 'smile' and i remember thinking, man, hes got a beautiful voice. i watched the show on jetzi's again a couple of days ago and i still got that same thought.

wow, I watched What more can I give yesterday for the first time as well. You´re right. AND Mike looked real sexy that night.

"i think michaels voice is as good as it ever was"


IF THIS WERE TRUE HE WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN LIP-SYNCHING FOR 10 YEARS....


He used to be a fantastic singer though, but he is just dead musically, vocally and physically more broadly

I'm sure this is all just wishful thinking but I'd love to see him come back and do some live shows that are on par with his peak vocal-live-performance abilities like from 88-88 Bad Tour Footage.

I think he tends to feel that he must be inhumanly perfect and that's probably why he lip-synchs, it's probably lots of self hate and extensive perfectionism
