Yo homie...I think you have my words twisted...first and foremost I am a Prince fan (please look at my previous posts)...But like most Prince fans, I grew up digging Mike's early solo shit pre Bad. ..My real point, if you cared to actually skim through it, was that the constant snobbish behavior regarding musicians verses entertainers is getting kind of tired...For the most part there are "entertainers" that will never be in the class of Prince, Stevie, Sly Stone, Miles Davis, ect...But there are certain individuals who have reached such great heights without ever having to master an instrument...I stand by the names above...And by the way...pound for pound Prince was the best amongst his peers because he was blessed with the complete package (writing, producing, performing, singing) not just his mastery of instrumentation...That's what made the man great. The Mike fans on this site should never have to resort to trumping up his "musicianship"...as stated before, Mike was a great song and dance man, and there's no shame in that...

i think youd all be surprised how well michael can play certain instruments
he cant read music but can imitate almost any instrument with his mouth he also imitates the feeling of the instrument
my minds brought back to 1993 michaels in drug rehab getting weened of drugs when one day during his treatment he sits at the piano and starts playing according to the eyewitness he said it sounded so good that he went up to him and ask what music is that from then michael said no i just came up with it now while fiddling around the witness said whatever your problems your a genius


these arent exact quotes from the witness word for word
i still have this on video and is a summary of what he said


This is not surprising at all. Some artists are like this when it comes to playing instruments. For example, Lionel Ritchie is the same way. Like Micheal, he can play numerous instruments but is not fluent in music theroy and plays by ear.

Above all, MJ is a songwriter and uses whatever instrument(s) he plays (I think piano is his main instrument) for the purpose of writing. He's not a virtuoso and probably not really even good enoguh to play onstage, but I'm sure he plays.

HAving said that though, I'd really love to see him play a set just voice and piano. Imagine hearing "Stranger In Moscow" or stuff like that in that setting. It'd really show people a different side of MJ.
