The battle cry of many an aggressor.

I just think that Prince has moved beyond Michael. To be honest, I just don't think that Michael and Prince have very much in common musically anymore, if they ever had anything in the first place. It's very ironic to me because Prince was always sort of in Michael's shadow in a way. But Prince is now more than a pop star: he's definitely a musician/artist. Never say never, but I just don't think that Prince, at this point in HIS career, would be interested in working with Michael, and it has nothing to do with Michael's personal problems.

I remember that I read that Joe Jackson told Jam and Lewis that he didn't want Janet to sound like Prince, or something like that? Now look at Prince: decades later it's Prince who is the living legend. It's so weird to me how things turn-out.

Exactly!!! My point for starting THIS thread. Londell could convince both independent artists that a duet album is good business.

Yeah, I heard it when Prince was on the radio when the Musicology tour was happenin'. Somebody said "Everybody would've liken to seen you and Micheal Jackson doing a song togther, what do you think about that?" and Prince said "Oh, that'll be cool, no problem".

I hope they do NOT

I just look as Prince with more of a rock/funk/r&b feel than Michael. Michael is more pop/r&b to me. Prince has always been more of a musician/songwriter/vocalist/performer to me--ya know part of a band--where as Michael is more of a songwriter/vocalist/performer. One is not better than the other mind you: it's more about a "mentality" or way of thinking. It's just a little bit different dynamic. In addition, I just think Prince has matured whereas Michael is sort of stuck in time. However, in all fairness, Michael hasn't had the chance to focus much on his music these past few years. According the the quote upthread, Prince has already said that he'd work with Michael, so I just really think that Prince admires Michael as an artist, and Prince seems to enjoy working with those whom he admires. Prince has said in the past that Michael is a genius.In fact, Prince obviously "sees" Michael's talent which a lot of the public may have forgotten due to his personal problems. Apparently Prince hasn't forgotten though.

It's not as if I said "hell no" to Prince working with Michael. I've never been a huge fan of Michael's, but I respect his accomplishments for sure. I just didn't know if they were both on the same page, so to speak. But both of those guys know music, so that's probably enough. It's cool that Prince has expressed interest. That's really cool.

They should work together, Prince is a MJ fan.

If the deal is that if they do it, we'll never have an MJ thread on the org again, I say "go for it, boys".

Thank you. I knew I wasn't tripping.

It's a non-Prince music forum.

If you don't like the MJ threads then you have the option to neither open them nor post on them.

Yes, it's that simple.

Cloudbuster said:

lol,I think Prince was just being silly.I'm betting that he would NEVER do a song with MJ.

DavidEye said:

I don't know. I don't even really care that much.

I'd still be interested to hear a collaboration, tho'.
It would probably be some fine funky tune.
And Prince actually has covered MJ's material a few times in concert. So you never know.

Cloudbuster said:

There's an emoticon at the end of my post indicating how serious it's meant.

Yes, it's that simple.

EmancipationLover said:

Then forgive me for viewing it as an expression of delight in the hope of never again having to be witness to another MJ thread.

Cloudbuster said:

you guys are crazy this duet is NEVER gonna happen.Accept it and move on

besides,Prince doesn't do alot of high-profile collaborations anyway.

DavidEye said:

Im crazy because I'd like to hear the result of two of my fave music artists working together?

Okay.

I love both of them, Michael a little bit more. I would like to see them work together, maybe Prince's input on a Michael song. But a duet...what in the fuck would they sing about together?

NightLight said:

"Your butt is mine!"...

Really though, in 1997 P said in the Chris Rock interview that the Bad album was the one time a collab may have happened and it would have resulted in a pretty bad PR move for P moreso than Michael.

Prince is 2 great to work with the likes of a Michael Jackson!!!!!Sorry MJ fams-kill me now!

No way, it's 2006, not 1986. They aren't really in the same place, anymore. It would seem uninspired or desperate, I think.

what would they do? an updated version of ebony and ivory?

for real though, it just sounds like a bad idea.

Wot th fuck?! Michael is NOT paedophile!! He was tried by a fair court and jury and proven innocent.

And i love him. So there.

I'd love it if him and Prince did a song together. Not an album but just a single would do. That hotness from the James Brown tribute evening wasn't enough for me

Absolutely not!!

While I like MJ's music a lot, I don't want to see Prince perform with him. To me, they are not even in the same league. Sure, MJ is a fantastic entertainer and he writes some nice lyrics, but Prince is much more of a musician. I also respect the fact that Prince has tried to keep his personal life personal.

I will always enjoy listening to MJ's music, but I have lost a lot of respect for him over the years. His behaviour turns me off. Prince on the other hand has become much more accessible and he seems to really be enjoying his life and career right now.

They're pop icons from the same time period who also happen to be black men from the Midwest.

But I don't think they're complementary artists.

ThreadBare said:

I don't think their voices would blend well at all. And they're both such showmen, I'm not sure either could give the other time for his spotlight.

I just watched that James Brown clip. It reminds me that way back then, Prince was the gross weird one and Michael was the cute normal one.
