PrintableNuPwr319 said: nd33 said: Michael Jackson gets career advice from Prince
9:42AM Tuesday July 24, 2007 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. - BANG! SHOWBIZ Wasn't there already a STATEMENT issued from MJ and his people that this was NOT TRUE. It's "a FAKE, baby--no rhyme or reason. 'Cause in your mind, it's lyin' season, you're a FAKE!" (Alex O'Neal) yah that was the snub though, But i wouldn't doubt it if MJ watching Prince's current sucessed called Prince up, or waiteed outside a kindom hall in london and asked for some advice... But its probably fake anyway Still.. its good advice... I am a Rail Road, Track Abandoned

theAudience said: nd33 said: 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."
Screw whether this is true or not, here's an interesting question.  How many current "artists" do you think could successfully pull this off?

You know I've always said "Thriller" was both a blessing and a curse: a blessing because it enabled him to accomplish the impossible, and a curse because he's doomed for failure for every album he's put out after it. I feel "Thriller" stunted his artistic growth to an extent. | |

I'm pretty sure whatever rivalry they had was purely professional. Prince can be kind of a cunt sometimes, (my voice is gettin higher, I ain't never had my nose done) but he does that to everybody, so I wouldn't take that stuff to mean he's got anything against the guy. Besides, remember the transcripts of Macauley's testimony during the trial? Apparently, Prince and MJ go toy shopping together. "A Watcher scoffs at gravity!" | |

Timmy84 said: Timmy84 said: Good point there! Maybe it's best they stayed apart.  Prince fans will never forgive MJ if the two agree to do a duet and it stinks, lol. I remember watching the "Whatzupwitu" video with a  look on my face. And just think the same man who did the collabo with MJ (and was imitating Prince while doing it too!) was the one who said: "...I heard Michael Jackson was looking for me And when I heard that, I was like 'so?' 'Cause I'd f*ck Mike up, he don't weight over a buck o-five I bust that ass on Mike but my manager said 'we don't know everything about Michael, he might be this bad motherf*cker behind close doors A recluse like Mike, if you dealt with him in private, he'd be completely different and I'd be imagining Mike coming to me at a party like: '(in high-pitched voice) LEMME TALK TO YOU FOR A MINUTE! Yeah uh, what's your f*cking problem, huh? Then why you keep f*cking with me then, huh? You know I'm Michael Jackson, I'd bust yo ass! I hear some more sh*t, I'll put this glove up yo ass...' Michael is so famous, he went on TV and told everybody he didn't have sex because of his religious beliefs and the public believed it Brothers were like 'get the f*ck out of here' and white folks were like 'That Michael's a special kind of guy!' You know how I knew y'all believed him, y'all didn't get mad when he took Brooke Shields to the Grammys! Nobody white said sh*t! If I took Brooke to the Grammy's, y'all would lose your mind... ...'cause you knew Brooke would get f*cked that night. And Brooke knew too, that's why we going THIS YEAR, no..." - Eddie Murphy, "Raw" (1987) Two years later, he's the one presenting MJ with an award on "Arsenio Hall" and I think months before that he gave him a Soul Train award. LOL [Edited 7/24/07 19:57pm] [Edited 7/24/07 19:59pm]  Damn dude!!! Was this from memory or did you sit there with the dvd on slo-mo, subtitles on and write a transcript? | |

You sure you don't mean Mike's ten-year-old son Prince?Considering Mac was referring to a shopping trip that took place back when he was still a little kid hanging out with Michael, I'd say it's safe to say he wasn't talking about the child.
How many people named Prince -that are referred to without a last name, natch -did Michael know in the late 80's/early 90's? "A Watcher scoffs at gravity!" | |

He didn't become the biggest star in the world by accident ya know. Don't kid yourself You know darn well what his new album will sound like.It will feature music produced by the hottest names in the R&B world right now.That's how Michael operates.He will call up folks like R.Kelly and Ne-Yo,trying to stay cool and hip with the latest sounds.I'm saying that this strategy is played out for him.Why not do an acoustic Unplugged album instead? I think his longtime fans would appreciate that a whole lot more. | |

I think his longtime fans would appreciate that a whole lot more.See the problem with going acoustic is, it aint marketable... It will regenerate his name as a bonafide artist. But say Mike released an acoustic album of just Piano Voice, and maybe some acoustic guitar... produced entirely by himself, written entirely by himself... Sure, i'll love it... some of the orger may love it... Hell the whole soul movement would love it, MIke can grow out his perm and Don an Afro again... But his i'll betcha his fan base won't like it... not acustumed to it... He'll have to start over... and mike doesn't want to do that... Personally i think he needs to start over... Just push reset on his career and rebuild the tattered name that is Michael Jackson If i had my way, i'd strip the moonwalking, the poplocking, Get a stool, a mic. a backing pianist, an acoustic guitar... and thats it... but hey, that aint marketable... The foundations of Michael Jacksons name wasn't built on good writing, and instrument playing it was built on pop and if he wants to come back fully i think he needs to take off his pop crown throw it in the ocean and tear down his original name... thats the only way I am a Rail Road, Track Abandoned

I disagree,I think his hardcore fans would go nuts if he released an 'Unplugged'.Longtime fans would be thrilled to hear stuff like "I Can't Help It" and "Maybe Tomorrow" played in this setting.It would be a career rebirth for him.Look what happened when Rod Stewart did an Unplugged set in the early 90s...it became one of his biggest albums ever,paving the way for his current success as a singer of standards.
As for whether or not is "marketable"....that shouldn't really be important.Mike's days of selling a trillion copies of an album are over,and he should accept that.This acoustic album doesn't need to be a big seller.It will serve a more important purpose.It will re-introduce Michael to the masses...it will put the focus on his classic songs....it will spotlight his voice,with no distractions.It will feature Michael singing real songs again,instead of all that pretentious,shit hop garbage that we would hear on a typical MJ album. | |

Being Marketable is important to Michael "King of Pop" Jackson and it's also important to his Bad/History/Dangerous era fans, because most of them see MJ as a video star/dancer first and foremost. And to be honest those type of fans are really important to him, because they probably make up the majority of his fanbase now. Now I rather him do the accoustic thing myself, because I am a sucker for a proper live show as oppose to a show which is more like a video on stage which is what most of the solo Mj tours are all about. I would much rather watch the J5 in Mexico 1975, which was just Michael and his brothers with a great orchestra, than the Dangerous tour any day. | |

[Edited 7/25/07 4:25am] Good to see the sarcasm wasn't lost on you. Now have you had any luck understanding this post yet? I can give you a junior translation if it's too complicated. There's such a thing as overdubbing. There's such a thing as auto tuner. The days of studio recordings being an accurate representation of a singer's ability ended about 30 years ago. As for will.i.am, just how much singing did he really hear from Michael? They didn't even finish a track. I'll take the word of floetry who wrote Butterfly. She was thanking Michael in an interview, but couldn't help mentioning how she had to coax him during the recording ("Can you get your pitching right? Can you get your timing right? Can you sing this bit more powerfully?"). I guarantee no one was reminding Michael to sing in tune in 1972 when he recorded Ben in one take, or in 79 when he recorded vocals for Rock With You and Off The Wall in one afternoon.

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. [Edited 7/23/07 17:47pm] I would hope that MJ realizes that he isn't 25 or 35 anymore. I would also hope that he knows that he has made history and needs to just make good music and give good performances. I have been praying that MJ would play an acoustic show. No over the top show numbers, no over the top dancing and no big light shows. I would love to see him do something the Musicology tour. MJ has the talent, but who knows. Also, do u guys think that MJ and P now have a connection since P is now a JW? As we all know, MJ was brought up JW and probably still has some of the same beliefs. **--••--**--••**--••--**--••**--••--**--••**--••-

Tired of you downplaying this man's awesome talent and everything he's given to the industry and the world. And all of the doors he's opened. mrsnet, Thank You, THANK You, THANK YOU!!! Again, I agree with every single word that you posted. First, I don't believe this story about "Prince giving Michael advice" concerning an acoustic concert. Michael has been thinking about this for years and his fans have also been talking about it for years. When he planned the HBO concert" One Night Only"(he became ill and had to cancel it), it was basically supposed to be an acoustic set. What really bothers me is the percepetion that someone else(Prince) has to give Michael advice about something that he already has been thinking about. IF he does come out with an "unplugged" concert, then the media will have a field day saying that MJ took Prince's advice. Of course, fans will know that is BS because Prince didn't have to tell Michael something that he was already thinking about and something that fans have been discussing on fan boards for YEARS. This article is just another way to try and downplay Michael's imput into his own career. Anyone who knows Michael and who has been a fan of his knows that he has a mind of his own and will do what he wants-whether people agree or disagree with his decisions. | |

I'm not comparing their albums, hell least Prince's got live instrumentation on some of the songs, I wouldn't mind it if he did say this. I've seen Mike do the same thing for 20 years (true Prince has too) but I want him to shock me. I want him to really show out. "Invincible" had fine material but it seemed he lost focus at the same time because of all the craziness that surrounded the making of it. I'm just saying. | |

I've seen Mike do the same thing for 20 years (true Prince has too) but I want him to shock me. I want him to really show out. "Invincible" had fine material but it seemed he lost focus at the same time because of all the craziness that surrounded the making of it. I'm just saying. I know what you´re saying. Unless Mike shocks ppl, they feel disapointed. But are you sure it is still possible to shock anyone nowadays? I hope Mike can. Mike always could. That´s why I am looking forward to this, but I will try not to be disapointed if he doesn´t shock me. Anyways, I think that if there´s anyone who can surprise us, it´s Mike. So let´s pray he will manage. BTW, I´d love to hear live intrumentation as well. That would be so cool. I hate this electronic sh*t that´s out there today. "When Michael Jackson is just singing and dancing, you just think this is an astonishing talent. And he has had this astounding talent all his life, but we want him to be floored as well. We really don´t like the idea that he could have it all." | |
