Michael Jackson gets career advice from Prince
9:42AM Tuesday July 24, 2007

Michael Jackson has been talking to Prince.

Michael Jackson is being advised on how to save his career by former chart rival Prince.

The eccentric star has reportedly turned to Prince, who he battled for pop supremacy in the 80s, for help with his comeback.

The Purple Rain singer is said to have told Michael to play a series of acoustic shows in Las Vegas to prove to the world he is still an amazing talent.

A source told the New York Post newspaper: "Prince has been suggesting that Michael play a sequence of unplugged concerts in Las Vegas  just Michael and the microphone. No gimmicks, no costume changes, no smoke or mirrors, just his voice."

It seems Prince has had a change of heart towards his one-time rival.

Earlier this year, the diminutive star snubbed Michael's offer of a joint tour to help him re-launch himself on the world stage.

Prince was said to be concerned that the hype surrounding Michael's comeback would over-shadow the concerts, and he wasn't prepared to be the Beat It singer's support act.

Michael's career has been in free fall since his 2003 child sex abuse trial.

Although he was acquitted on all charges, he has struggled to regain his once huge fan base and has been plagued by rumours his once massive fortune has dwindled.

- BANG! SHOWBIZ

this story is faker then a janet storm segue.

Even if its true, I don't think Mike would be happy with this advice.

MJ is fucked up in the head, He thinks he can make a come back and challenge Usher and Timberlake.
I expect nothing positive from him.

Pill, I dig MJ getting down on the Funk. But, MJ without dance moves is like grits without hotwater.

MsLegs said:

Well,

They don't have to be too polish and chorgraphy..

Just go with the groove and let it come naturally

funkpill said:

Ain't nothing wrong with riding with the Funk when the groove hits your feet.

This story is faker than Madonna's accent

Mike "needed advice"? Michael was always a good performer I everytime I seen him.

funkpill said:

MJ should hook up with James Brown's band now that they need some gigs.

I saw them last year and they were hot!

They could own those Off the Wall horn lines.

Screw whether this is true or not, here's an interesting question.
How many current "artists" do you think could successfully pull this off?

Talk about thinning the herd.
